CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Jacob

I’ll Wait

At Destiny’s insistence, I sat in her room waiting for her to get things squared away with Montie. I could hear him arguing about her decision to let me stay so we could talk. I didn’t expect him to give up easy, but he was a pain in my ass.

I was seething when I heard Destiny say, “Montie, I just need about an hour to talk to Jacob. I need to close one door before I open another one.”

“So that’s how you’re going to play me? Everything has been alright until he shows up with flowers and an attitude, and now you’re kicking me out?”

“I’m not kicking you out. I’m asking you to give me some space for a while.”

“It’s the same thing, Destiny. Hell, if I knew that’s all it took to wow you, I would have sent you flowers every day when we were married,” I heard Montie say, as he stalked up the hall. I got up and went to stand in the doorway to watch their exchange.

“Montie, don’t make this harder than it has to be,” Destiny said touching his shoulder.

“You’re the one making it hard. I ain’t leaving, so you might as well go on back there and talk to him now. Me and the kids will be up here until you finish.”

“This is my house and I am asking you to give me some space,” Destiny stood firm.

“Dang Destiny, what could you possibly have to say to him? Where he stands should be blatantly obvious to you.”

“I have to get closure, Montie. You should understand that.”

“Closure? The only closure you need is to kick him outside and close the door,” he said, looking into her eyes. I knew from the look he gave her that he’d been satisfied in more ways than one by her touch. It was a look she’d left on me more than once.

“All I know is the kids don’t need to witness anymore fighting. I need to talk to Jacob civilly, so we’ll be on the same page when I close that door,” Destiny said.

I was tired of their back and forth and furious about all this talk about closing doors. I began walking up the hall, ready to throw Montie out on his face, but I stopped in my tracks. Destiny was right about the kids not needing to see us fighting again, but she was wrong about closing the door to our relationship.

I reluctantly stayed positioned against the wall instead of approaching Montie, but I wasn’t going to give him much longer to pack and leave. I watched as Destiny went into Junior’s room and come back out with Montana in her arms. Junior wasn’t far behind, but he wouldn’t dare look my way.

“Everything was perfect until he got here,” Montie said, glaring down the hall at me.

“Yeah, for you, but I’ve been waiting for Jacob to call or come by. This was inevitable. We need this time to talk. Do you understand?” Destiny said, as Montana reached over and rubbed her father’s face.
