Hold Me While You Wait

by Kimberly Brown

“Elliot, stop. I don’t care how you feel. Me, you, and this marriage is done. I was done the moment you told me that my niece couldn’t live here. Now look at you. You can’t live here. Isn’t that ironic?”

“We have a son, Somya. His father should be home with him.” “Lucky for him, he doesn’t remember anything. He wasn’t old enough to notice the difference.” “But he does notice it now. He asked me the other day why we don’t live together.” “Well, I’m sure you didn’t tell him it’s because you’re a selfish, inconsiderate, heartless bastard.”

I’d appreciate it if you told her to speak when spoken to. It’s rude.” “I will not force her to speak to you. You broke her heart. Her not speaking to you is more respectful than the disrespectful things I know she wants to say.” “She’s a child—” “She’s a person and her feelings matter. The problem is you don’t think they do. Children deserve apologies from adults too. If you’re gonna sit here, sit here and be quiet. Otherwise, move.”

“I’m happy to know that she’s been surrounded with love. I knew her daddy would love her, but knowing she has you all puts my heart at ease. Hopefully she’ll continue to let me see her and I can grow to be a part of that tribe.”

Bitch fuck off

“Can we talk?” she asked softly. I sighed as I turned my head to look at her. “About?” “I can’t help but feel like you don’t really want me here, Xander. I don’t want any trouble. I can always leave.”

Duh bitch why the fuck would he want you there????

“How are you feeling about having Mona here today now?” He blew a heavy breath. “I think we will be okay. I still have my guard up, but we had a conversation outside. She said she wants us to be friends and maybe one day I’ll see her as family. It could happen.” “I like her.” He gave me a side eye. “Really now?” “She seems sweet. I can tell she’s trying, baby. I see the way she looks at Deanna. She’s falling in love with her already. Once she fully steps into her role, I think they will develop a beautiful relationship.”

Ugh I hate that she just gets to come in after 12 years of nothing and just be accepted 😤
