In Too Deep

Chapter 12

I woke up in Jamar's arms, that made me feel a little better. Besides the fact that my I caught my mother's boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend.

"Come here," I said to Jamar. "I'll get you some clothes." I walked him to the basement and gave him some of my dad's old clothes. I walked him to the guest room. "The towel and stuff is in the bathroom. There's a spare toothbrush in the medicine cabinet. After you're done let me know."

I went downstairs to make him some food. While in the middle of cooking I heard the doorbell. I opened it to see Stephan.

"Look I understand your anger. 5 minutes is all I need," he pleaded. I stepped back letting him in.

We walked into the kitchen and I continued to cut onions. "Now watch what you say Stephan," I said chopping harshly. Ensuring I will cut his ass if he says the wrong thing. He stood there quietly. "Four fifty nine.."

"OK, you and I both know that your mom is deeply in love with me."

"Not after I tell her she won't be."

"That's why I'm here. You know how hurt she was when your dad died," I stopped chopping and looked up at him with a lifted eyebrow.

"Continue," I demanded.

"You don't want to see her like that again right? Can we just pretend like this never happened? With God as my witness, I will never cheat on her again."

"And what makes you think I'm just going to go by your word?"

"I don't have any proof right now, all I've got is the future."

"OK, I'll take your word. Just know if you fuck up that's your life. Exit my house." He scurried out the house

Should I really keep this from my mom? I really didn't want to see her hurt. Maybe it's more help than harm being done here.

Jamar's POV

I over heard Tiana's and Stephan's conversation. I personally don't think it's a good idea, but it's not my place to intervene in her family problems. After Stephan left, I quietly went upstairs and laid on her bed. About ten minutes later, Tiana came upstairs with her mom's famous omelets. I tasted them last month when I came over for breakfast. They sure as hell beat my omelets.

"Thankyou baby," I said giving her a kiss.

"So, Stephan was just came over."

"Mhm, and?" I asked like I didn't hear the conversation.

"We did a negotiation and he swore not to ever cheat if I kept it a secret. So, I'm not going to tell anyone, not even Georgia. I think it'll help her more than harm her. All she's been through, she doesn't need anymore pain." I just nodded, I understood why she did what she did.
