Infatuated Distraction

Stasia:

I always loved taking long warm baths with my stella rose at my side and my aromatherapy going. It seemed to always do the trick when I can't seem to relax my mind and soothe my soul. I just can't seem to settle with the idea that Jamear cheated on me....again. This nigga has it all fucking twisted and I don't understand why or even how.

I mean look at me, I am a beautiful black woman as The CEO of my own writing company, I make 7 going on 8 figures, I am independent not to mention sexy as hell with my hourglass shape from staying so fit with my personal trainer and I cook my ass off and provide for my man just as well as my two beautiful children, Omarion being the oldest which is 17 and ava, in which I just had because of Jamear being only 11 months.

Like I honestly don't get men sometimes. What more can a woman offer you to treat her as the goddess that she is. At this point, I just wanna throw my hands up. I sipped on the rest of my wine and then proceeded to exit my lavish jacuzzi molded tube, grabbing my silk Kimono soft pink robe. I slide on my Louis Vuitton slides and headed to my two story walk in close off from the back of my huge bathroom

(Next Scene)

As I headed down my stairs as they curved in a wide C manner, with my hot pink silk top and silk shorts set, my doorbell ring.

I wasn't in any mood to be around anyone and I suspected who it already was because, my girlfriends are always checking up on me.

I could already here them as I was opening the door. Robin was the loudest of the bunch and the bluntest. If someone put a name to no filter, it would be her. She tends to act before thinking and can sometimes be one-sided to certain situations. She is an interior designer. She has a great taste in decor. she is also a ride or die type female. In a crazy way.

Lisa was the highly mature and content one. She was the one to use logic and reasoning before anything else. She looked at all perspectives and always rationalized things in a calm and orderly way. Which I definitely can understand being that she is a family lawyer who just made partner six months ago. But just as she is this civil and reasonable woman, she also is a Black Woman. She holds her own for what she feels is right.

Jessica is the nurturing one from us. She is a pediatrician. She has the biggest heart and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve even when she knows, there's a variety of risks she's taking when she does but that's what makes her the strongest. Its one thing to be open to love but not let it burn you,because your guard is up, and another to be open in all transparency and be burned numerous times and still choose to take that risk because your sense of love is so pure. She is strong. However, like all the others of us, She DO NOT PLAY ABOUT THE ONES CLOSEST TO HER. Its easier said then understood.

I then opened the door " I told you she was here, Heeyyy " Robin stated as they made there way in my home. " Oh lord, what do yall want? " I said while adjusting my clamp to hold my hair up and walking away from them.

"The tea sis, we know you know what happened" Robin replied as we went into my living room.

"un uh, just because I may know more than yall, doesn't mean I will tell you, yall stay in my business" I said while sitting down as they did the same.

" Now since when you don't confide in us, you know damn well you tell us everything" Robin added "Right so give us the details, you know we not here to judge you or anything" Jessica stated

"Okay, what do you guys even think you REMOTELY know?" I added sarcastically.

"We know you and Jamear had a falling out and that he was cheating on you-" Robin said while leaning up on the chair as Lisa butted in. "Robin" she warned her. But even Lisa couldn't shut Robin up when she starts at it.

"-And with that two-timing, nasty, beaver mouth having ass, skank of a hoe Courtney"

It was a pause for a few seconds after she said that due to the fact that they clearly knew more than I did seeing that I didn't know it was Courtney. Again.

"well..." Lisa said in a sarcastically funny way to break the silence.

I leaned up and looked at her. "It was Courtney?"

"Honey, who wouldn't know that perfume she wears smells like Jamear, The panties he Claimed-" She threw up her hands as she exaggerated it " He bought you weren't knew, they were that skanks, not to mention he also cheated on you before with her, also, your car keys were found in your car pocket along with some thongs that had her name on it, and everytime he says he has to go to work at 1, instead he goes to her place and come back smelling like 'Forever And Always' perfume that you SPECIFICALLY seen her buy at Victoria Secret and lets not forget when you washed his clothes and found blood in his man boxers and when you asked him about them he said what?" she put her hand to her ear as if to listen to my response. I hated that she knew everything but then I also knew that she was right. So I answered. "Its a Jelly Stain" "Exactly" she proceeded to say.

Lisa and Jessica nodded there heads in agreeance seeing that she wasn't wrong. But then something filled in me, I knew it stemmed from what he did but the fact that she had no filter and said things so damn emotionless made me upset

"Robin why you always got to go against me on everything that I do, even my own damn man" She had this look of shock but she had it coming. "No I am not and you know this, but you saying that because you know im right and being that you have a child with him, you have this feeling that you can't do it alone or maybe not wanting too, but let me tell you this-" she sat up further

Jessica shook her head at Robin knowing she was about go beyond things "Robin!" Lisa butted in jerking her head at her

Robin still went in. "There are plenty of women out here who raise there children and even children that aren't biologically there's by themselves, so let's not feel some type of way because its always someone out there that's getting it worse than you"

I got up and walked to my kitchen as they followed. " Robin don't okay, just don't, now you know I been making it on my own with my son Omarion for what eighteen years and still counting even though he's an adult, so yeah, I, I agree, lets not get into that because you know me well enough to know that my children has always and will always come first and not One man, One!, about to make me feel like I got to have him because of what he does for them or me for that matter" I stated while grabbing some food out of my refrigerator.

"Okay well Stasia can you please tell me this" Lisa added as she assisted herself on one of my stools at the island. "Why do you still manage to stay?" she finished

"I would love to hear that aswell because out of all the things he put you through, it makes no since to me" Lisa stated as she joined into the conversation.

"Look I know, I know, but listen, in my view that is the whole point of love, through thick and thin, for better and for worse, its not suppose to be easy" I knew inside me that even I disgusted myself after hearing those words escape from my mouth.

"Girrll, you can't use that concept with a man until after marriage, you don't even have a ring yet" Robin furiously implied

"Okay Robin that is enough!" Jessica exclaimed.

"Now I agree because tonight you literally overdoing yourself" Lisa added while pouring some wine into her wine glass

" I mean while that may be true, its still the same principles whether you're dating them or married to them Robin." I responded while pouring a glass of wine and sipping after.

"Well I beg to fucking differ" Robin sarcastically responded while grabbing the wine bottle and pouring her a drink as I shook my head at her in disbelief

Lisa broke the few seconds of silence as she sat up to say "Well as much as we want the absolute best for her, at the end of all of this, she is going to choose what she feels is the right thing regardless of our opinions about it, so I say that to say this-" she looked at me after glancing at all of us " Whatever it is that you decide, we support you in all of it, and though sometimes we may not always agree, know that we mean good for you in every opinion that we may have as you would do the same for us-" She raised her glass as jessica nodded and smiled and robin suprisingly nodded aswell. "So I raise this in honor of Black Powerful-" We all added our words after one another, "Independent" robin said as we all raised our glasses, "Successful!" Jessica said after "And Sexy!" I added lastly while Lisa began to finish " Black Women, We Too Can and Will Have It All with the Strength and Alliance of one another" We all cheered and clinked our glasses to the uplifting energy and hope that gave us. To New Beginnings.
