Chapter 25

The bright lights lit up the night sky. Dionne had been to Las Vegas several times, but it had never looked this good.

“Are you sure you’re ready to take it in?” Roland asked, taking her hand. They were leaving Caesars Palace, strolling down the sidewalk, heading back to their penthouse suite after an exhausting yet fulfilling day.

She and Roland had been back together just under three weeks and she couldn’t be happier. As Roland had promised, he had given her a weekend to remember. They’d arrived on Thursday night and they had been going ever since. He’d secured front-row tickets to Toni Braxton at the Flamingo Hotel. Then it was dinner, dancing, and gambling. But the highlight of the weekend was when Roland hit it big at craps, winning more than twenty thousand dollars. This morning he’d taken Dionne on a shopping spree and let her go crazy. And she’d done just that, buying the designer stuff she’d only dreamed about ever wearing.

Dionne had been trying to get up the nerve to tell him that she was pregnant. But they were having such a good time and since she didn’t know how he would react, she didn’t want to ruin their weekend.

“Hello. Are you there?” Roland said, waving his hand in her face.

Dionne let out a small giggle. “I’m sorry, baby. I was lost in thought.”

“Dang, I must be a boring date if you’re drifting off on me,” he said as he opened the hotel lobby door and motioned for her to go first.

Dionne linked her arm through his as they walked through the massive lobby. Roland looked like a male model in his black form-fitting shirt and Calvin Klein jeans that showed off his muscular physique. She was proud to be seen on his arm. “Nah, you’re not boring me at all,” she said. “I’m just wondering when I’m going to wake up from this dream.”

Roland stopped and turned her toward him. “Dionne, I messed up. I knew that I loved you, I just didn’t realize how much until you were gone. Nothing like losing the woman you love to put everything into perspective. I’m so happy that you gave me another chance.”

He looked down at his cell phone, which was silent, but lighting up. It had been lighting up all evening, and Dionne had done her best to ignore it. Roland picked the phone up, looked at it, then placed it back on the clip.

“Who is that?” Dionne asked, no longer able to contain herself.

“Nobody,” Roland responded.

Dionne snatched her arm away and stomped toward the elevator. “Here we go with the lying again,” she snapped, pounding the Up button. “I am so stupid for believing you could change.” She hated to be going off, but that dang phone had been the only thing ruining their weekend. He’d said he couldn’t turn it off because his mother was sick and he didn’t want to take any chances on missing her call. Still, the constant calls were getting on her nerves.
