Forever and a Day

chapter 22

“I'm not about to have this conversation with you just so you won't remember this in the morning.” -Tyrese

Chloe didn't know why she was in route to Tyrese's house this late, but she needed answers and she wasn't going home until she got them. She opened up to Tyrese and he tried to play her like a sideline. At this point she was pretty sure that Tyrese lied about everything he told her. She was ready to give his ass the business. As soon as she reached his block, she checked her watch and noticed it was close to two in the morning but all the lights were on in the house. As she got out the car, she started rethinking her decision to confront him tonight. She thought to herself, shit I came this far I might as well get it over with. She reached the door and rung the bell, and waited for Tyrese to answer the door. She secretly hoped that a woman would answer the door.

Tyrese looked through the window and saw Chloe standing on his porch and he was confused. What was she doing here this late? He hoped Kiyan and Cam didn't get into any shit that would have him wilding out tonight. He opened the door and said, "Wassup ma, why you here so late?"

Chloe looked at him and came straight out with it, "why did you think you could play me?"

"Play you? How the hell did I play you?" Tyrese asked confused.

"Don't play stupid. Here I am thinking I did something wrong, but no it was you. You got a new chick and never thought to inform me about it," Chloe liquor had officially kicked in.

"Ma, are you drunk? I'm not about to have this conversation with you just so you won't remember this in the morning. Come go to sleep." Tyrese said pulling her in the house.

"I'm not drunk and I'm not sleeping here because I don't feel like fighting your new chick if she decides to stop by," Chloe said.

"You can keep that shit to yourself, I'm not in the mood to have this conversation. Let me take you to the guest room because you need to take your ass to sleep before you get your ass into something you can't get out of," Tyrese said.

"Whatever, I'm not staying here." Chloe said taking her car keys out of her Michael Kors bag.

"Like I said you not going no where when your ass is drunk, Tyrese said snatching the keys from her, so you can either walk up these damn stairs on your own or I'll carry your ass up them."

Chloe stood in the same spot and the next thing she knew Tyrese was grabbing her and picking her up. She didn't have the energy to scream and complain. She saw the look on his face and she decided that he definitely wasn't in the mood for her to be fighting with him. Once Tyrese bought her to the guest room, he left out and quickly came back with one of his t-shirts.

"Take your clothes off and put this on," he said trying to give her the shirt.

"No, I'm good," she refused as she sat on the bed.

Tyrese whispered under his breath, "stubborn ass girl" as he walked over to her and pulled her shirt over her head and putting his shirt on her. "You gone take your pants off or do I have to do that too?" he asked. She still refused to talk, so he leaned her back and unbuttoned her pants so he could slide them off. Tyrese couldn't help but notice that Chloe had a crazy ass body shape. Her butt made him think about that stupid ass club song these little ass kids be singing, "her booty too fat it's like a donkey on her back." She had to be the envy of all the females and caught the attention of all the men. He didn't pay attention to her body shape when he seen her at the club or when he met her for lunch since she was already sitting down and she had to stay at the restaurant for a meeting. The only thing he remembered was her beautiful greenish mixed with grey eyes. He loved her eyes, when he looked up at her he pulled her close to him and kissed her. When he bought her upstairs he had no intentions to take it there with her, but when he looked at her body and her eyes he lost control. He was kissing her like he didn't have any control.

Chloe was shocked by the kiss Tyrese was giving her, but she surely wasn't about to complain. She put her hands behind his neck and pulled him on the bed with her. She didn't know if it was the liquor she had at Dave & Busters or what, but she wanted to feel him on top of her while they kissed. She continued to kiss him like her life depended on it while rubbing the waves on his head. She felt like she was in heaven and she didn't want to come back to earth. Tyrese looked so sexy and she couldn't help but to lose control. She moaned as Tyrese deepened the kiss. She tried to pull the shirt off, but Tyrese stopped her and said, "Nawh ma, you're drunk. We can't do that tonight, I just want to taste your lips. " Tyrese and Chloe kissed for five more minutes before Tyrese pulled away to catch his breath.

"Damn" "Wow" Tyrese and Chloe said at the same time stirring at the ceiling.

"Ma, I swear I have never been kissed like that," Tyrese whispered while turning over towards her.

"Shit, I never kissed any one like that, she replied, you kissed me so crazy I'm sleepy as hell right now."

"Then lets go to sleep before we both do something that you're ass can't get out of," he smiled.

Chloe thought Tyrese was going to leave out the room, but to her surprise he pulled her close to his chest and kissed her lips and her cheek. Chloe knew she was suppose to be pissed off with Tyrese for having another girlfriend. She figured, this would be the last night they would have together so why not. Come tomorrow they will have their conversation and their journey together will be over. She closed her eyes and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

~~~~~

As soon as Chloe woke up, she had an instant headache and she looked around trying to remember where the hell she ended up last night. She looked for something familiar to see which one of her girls’ house she spent the night at. She couldn't figure out, until she heard the door open and Tyrese appeared. She thought the hot kiss her and Tyrese shared was a dream, but it was definitely a reality.

"Good Morning Sleepy Head," Tyrese greeted her.

"Morning, what time is it?" Chloe asked.

"A little after 12, I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful like you haven't been to sleep in days," he laughed.

"It sure has felt like it. Can you run out to my car and get my gym bag, so I can shower and change? Do you have an extra toothbrush and wash cloth?" she asked.

"Yeah, It's in the joint bathroom. I'll go get your bag, you can get in the shower." Tyrese said to her.

"Thank you," she smiled.

She went inside the bathroom turned the water on hot, and got in and put her whole head under the water. She wanted to wash, have this talk with Tyrese and then go home to nurse her hangover. Just as she began to wash, the bathroom door opened and Tyrese put her bag on the floor and said, "when your done come downstairs my shorty, just got here." Chloe thought her mind was playing tricks on her. There was absolutely no way he had her upstairs and another bitch downstairs. She just knew her morning was going to start bad. She wasn't about to sit back and let Tyrese play her. She quickly washed and put on her yoga pants and tank top. She was dressed for the occasion if ole girl decided to get stupid.

As Chloe began to walk down the stairs with her gym bag on, she noticed that the TV was on in the living room, but no one was in there. As she started to walk to the kitchen, she heard laughter. When she got to the kitchen all she saw was Tyrese back towards her. She cleared her throat to make her presence known. Tyrese turned around and smiled at Chloe, “Hey Chlo, there’s somebody I want you to meet.”

Before Chloe was about to decline her invitation to meet his new chick, she saw the prettiest dark skin brown skin little girl hop off the kitchen counter and walk to her.

“Hi, my name is Tiana, I am five. What’s your name?” Tiana introduced herself.

“Hello cutie, I’m Chloe.” Chloe said bending down and smiling at Tiana

“My daddy made breakfast for us, lets go to my table and eat,” Tiana said grabbing onto Chloe’s hand to lead her to the table.

“So Chloe, are you my daddy’s girlfriend,” Tiana asked catching Chloe off guard.

“I’m your dad’s friend.” Chloe said to the little girl.

“Oh, my dad said you’re his girlfriend. Right dad?” Tiana said.

“I did tell you that and you know I don’t tell you stories that aren’t true. Chloe will definitely be daddy’s girlfriend,” Tyrese said smiling at both Tiana and Chloe.

“Chloe, will you be my dad’s girl friend? He said you make him smile and that you know all his secrets,” Tiana asked.

“Oh really? He told you all that?” Chloe smiled at Tyrese’s twin.

“Yes, he did. He told me when I got home from my grandma house,” Tiana nodded. She was too smart for her age, but she was definitely daddy’s little girl. She liked to see her dad smile.

“Well, I think your dad and I have to talk before I can be his girlfriend.” Chloe said eating the food that Tyrese had cooked.

“That’s good enough for me,” Tyrese said.

Breakfast with Tiana and Tyrese was very entertaining. Tiana told Chloe about all her friends and teachers at school. She talked about all her new clothes that her father bought her. As she was talking, Chloe couldn’t help but smile at the little advance girl she was sitting next too. She could tell by the way Tyrese talked to her, that Tiana had him wrapped around her finger. After breakfast, Tiana told Tyrese and Chloe she was going in the living to watch Princess & the Frog. She wanted them to come watch the movie with her, so they agreed that they would after they finished talking.

“Your daughter is beautiful Ty.” Chloe complimented Tiana.

“Thank you, that’s my heart right there,” Tyrese responded.

“So I have a serious question. Why didn’t you tell me you had a daughter?” Chloe asked.

“I wasn’t hiding it if that’s what your thinking. I was going to tell you everything, but then Tiana got really sick and she was in the hospital. So I checked out on everybody and spent all my time with her.” Tyrese explained.

“What happen to her?” Chloe wanted to know.

“She had a fever that wouldn’t go away. So I tried to break her fever, but it wouldn’t go down. Then when we went to the hospital, she was admitted for a severe flu virus. That’s why I didn’t come to Shanice’s party,” He let her know.

“Where’s her mother? Why didn’t she help you?” Chloe said being nosey.

“She doesn’t have a mother. The woman who gave birth to her didn’t want anything to do with her, so I’m Tiana’s only parent,” Tyrese said shocking Chloe.

“What do you mean she didn’t want anything to do with her? If you don’t mind me asking.”

“I don’t mind telling you, you’re my girlfriend. She was so focused on living her life to the fullest that she said a child would slow her down. First she wanted to abort Tiana but I told her I would kill her before I let her kill my child. So she carried Tiana for 9 months and after that she sign over her rights to me and disappeared.” Tyrese explained.

“Wow! What kind of woman does that?” Chloe asked.

“A selfish ass one. Tiana never asked to be conceived, but once she was I knew that I would take care of her no matter what. Like I said before if it wasn’t for Tiana I wouldn’t be the man sitting in front of you now.” Tyrese stressed.

Chloe got up from her chair and walked over to Tyrese and stood between his legs and smiled and said yes.

“What you saying yes for ma?” Tyrese asked confused.

“Yes, I am your girlfriend. You are incredible and I love that,” Chloe said kissing him on the lips.

“Thanks ma. I appreciate the compliment,” Tyrese said picking Chloe up and taking her in the living room.

“Tiana, guess what?” Tyrese said.

“What dad, the girl just turned into a frog because she kissed the frog,” Tiana explained the movie.

“Chloe is daddy’s girlfriend,” he smiled.

“Yay, Chloe’s pretty.” Tiana hopped up and gave Chloe a hug.

“You’re pretty too,” Chloe smiled.

“Thank you, now can we watch the Princess and the Frog?” Tiana said reminding them about the movie.

Chloe and Tyrese looked at each other and smiled. “Yes we can,” they both said to Tiana and sat down to watch the movie.
