Chapter Twenty-Three

Shawn

Alicia has been questioning me lately. She wants to know if I still want to be with her, even though I’ve assured her numerous times that I do. I guess it’s safe to say that she still doesn’t believe me. I can’t really blame her though. I know it’s because I have been giving her the run around about us getting married. So for the last few days she’s been walking around the condo looking depressed. She only tends to the baby, cleans the house, and cooks dinner; that’s about it. She doesn’t speak to me unless she necessarily needs to and when I ask her questions she gives me one word answers. Keith and Keisha are due to visit us in a couple of days, and I hope we can get back on track by then.

“Baby, can you please stop being this way and talk to me.” I begged. I had just gotten off of work and came home to silence once again.

“Stop being what way Shawn?” she asked as she looked up from folding laundry.

“So distance and cold.” I told her.

“How do you expect me to act when the man I love, who claims to love me, doesn’t want to get married?”

“That’s not true. I do love you and want to get married.” I knew she was hurt and so was I, but I still couldn’t bring myself to tell her the real reason why we couldn’t get married just yet.

“Shawn, save that shit. I’m tired of hearing that same ol’ tired ass excuse you keep giving me. I get it, you don’t wanna raise another man’s child.” she shrugged. “All you have to do is be straight up and tell me the truth, and I could move on from there.” The sadness in her eyes broke my heart. I hate that I’m the one causing her so much pain. “Trust me, if I can move on from Troy then I can move on from anybody.” Just hearing her talk about moving on put me in panic mode. I waited too long to be with her, so I can’t lose her now.

“Look baby. I think you’re taking all this out of proportion. I am going to marry you. I also want you to give Zaria a little brother or sister; I just figured you needed some time to get into the routine of being a mommy before you get stressed out with planning our wedding.” I reasoned.

“Shawn, cut the bullshit okay, because I suggested that we can wait on the whole wedding part and just go to the court house, and yet you still coming at me sideways with fucking excuses. You must have forgotten that I was with a lying muthafucka for three years, so I know bullshit when I hear it.” Alicia snapped. She stood up tossing the sheet she was folding into the clothes basket. ”I’mma ask you this one last time, because after this I won’t ask again. What is really going on with you not wanting to get married right now?” she demanded with her hands on her hips.
