Okay, beside the fact that the board was funked up for like ever, i hadn't updated in forever because i lost this chapter, and had to rewrite it again. Trying to remember what i had originally wrote is hard, but i did my best. And believe me, the story is about to get good, so keep reading and reviewing, and y'all writers need to get to writing some more stories. And KandiJams, if you're reading, you need to write another story,and let's get it poppin on that team story. Oh, and look out for the sequel to as long as you know, but i'll post it on the Blazin Hot Stories board.

Two Reasons I Cry
Chapter 8
Recap: Dom’s birthday has come and gone, and Omari came to his party, he bought him a scooter and an X-box. We’re at MeMe’s house now and she and Omari are getting ready to go out for MeMe’s 25th birthday.
“Baby, hurry up, we’re gonna be late!” Omari yelled upstairs to Meme while looking in the mirror downstairs
“Aight, I’ll be down in a minute,” she yelled while covering the mouthpiece of the phone
“Me’shelle, I really need to talk to you,” a male voice said through the phone
“Jason, we have nothing to talk about,” Me’shelle said while spritzing her hair in the mirror
“Look, I know I let you down before, but I really need to talk to you. I know you’re with him now, but just give me this one time to explain to you how I feel. I mean you were my first love my first everything, and you’re even the mother of my first child and those are shoes that Omari just can’t fill. M&M, please, give me one more chance.” Jason pleaded with her
“Nigga, you ain’t Biggie, so no you don’t get no more chances,” Me’shelle said standing her ground
“Me’shelle please, I need you.” Jason said to her, making her give in
“Ok, I’ll see what I can do,” she said
“Aight, meet me at our special place tonite, I love you,” he said to her in a hushed tone
“Do you?” she questioned as she hung up the phone, she then looked in the mirror, and began to think about the way she was when she first met Jason. She was young and in love and to her he was the perfect man, he was her first crush, her first love, the father of her first child. And that was something that Omari couldn’t be because of Jason. Then she thought about Omari, how sweet, sexy, funny, caring and considerate he was. He was even there to care for a child that wasn’t even his. Compared to Jason, Omari was a real man. Me’shelle didn’t know what to do, she was so confused then she started to mess with things in the bathroom. She pulled out the bottle of sleeping pills in the medicine cabinet and when she couldn’t get them open, threw the bottle at the wall, and sat on the floor and began to cry…
“Baby, we gotta go, we don’t wanna be late,” O said walking in the bathroom
“Ok, here I come,” MeMe said wiping her face and fixing up her makeup, Omari started to ask what was wrong but decided not to. He decided to just enjoy the rest of the night with his girl, and hopefully get up enough courage to do what he had been wanting to ever since he met her.
At Club Pandemonium
“SURPRISE!” the crowd of Me’shelle’s family and friends yelled as she and Omari walked into the room
“Oh, my gosh,” she screamed as the music started and the crowd began to scatter, Jarday and Jarell walked over to where she and O were
“Happy Birthday, girl!” Dae said as she hugged her best friend
“Thank you, when did y’all plan this?” she asked them
“While you were at work, church, whenever you weren’t around, we set it up. Oh yea, Happy Birthday,” Jarell said as he hugged her and kissed her cheek
“Thank you,” she said then turned to Omari, “Thank you so much, baby,” she said as she stared into his big brown eyes,
“You’re welcome, happy birthday, boo,” he said as he kissed her softly on the lips
“Aight, enough of that, come on girl let’s go mingle,” Jarday said as she and MeMe walked around the club
After a few hugs and pictures Jarday and Me’shelle spot Capri rolling up in the club with a fine nigga that sure in the hell wasn’t Dreux. They checked in their coats and then walked over to the two.
“Happy Birthday, girl,” Capri said as she handed Me’shelle her gift
“Thank you,” MeMe said and then Jarday cut in
“And who is this,” she said scanning the nigga
“Oh, my bad, Jarday, Me’shelle, this is Zane, my date,” she said introducing them
“Nice to meet you, ladies, and Happy Birthday, Me’shelle,” he said as he kissed their hands
“You too, well enjoy the party,” Me’shelle said
“Baby, I’ll be right back I’ma go get a drink,” he said as he kissed her on the lips and walked off
“Girl, he is too fine. Where did you meet him?” Jarday asked watching him walk away
“Dae, he came in the shop last week for a haircut, and we got to talking and…” she trailed as MeMe cut her off
“That’s nice, but what about my brother?” she said thinking about Dreux
“You know what, Dreux was cool, and he for damn sure was fine, but he wanted to be stuck on that Mariah beotch, so he can have her, I am not gonna be a side piece, and I’m for damn sure not gonna be strung along.” She said to her cousin and friend
“I feel ya, but I hope you know what you’re doing,” Jarday said with a motherly tone
“I don’t about what I’m doing, but I do know who I’ll be doing after this party,” she said as they all laughed and she walked away to find Zane.
The party was running along smoothly everyone was mingling. Omari was having a drink at the bar when he noticed Dreux walk in, he signaled him over to the bar…
“Whas crackin, nigga?” Dreux said as he gave O dap
“Chillin, you know,” O answered eyeing the girl Dreux brought over
“Oh, my bad, O, you remember Mariah,” he said as she walked over and shook O’s hand
“Good seeing you again, Omari,” she said as she smiled at him
FYI: Mariah is Dreux’s ex (see ch. 4) she is really pretty, she has long jet black hair, with almond shaped black eyes, caramel colored skin and a nice body. She and Dreux dated for about 2 years, and then she began to pursue her modeling career. Distance and opportunity caused them to break up, but Mariah’s job has called her to LA for about 3 months. Once Dreux saw her again, sorry to say, but the feelings for Capri quickly went out the window.
“You too,” he said flashing her a smile
“Dreux, baby, I’ll be back I’m gonna go freshen up,”
“Aight, then, I’ll be right here” he said watching her walk away
“Man, she still fine,” Omari said talking to Dreux
“Sho is, she ain’t changed” he said licking his lips
“Yea, but what happened to MeMe’s cousin?” he said taking a sip of his drink
“Who? Capri? Yea she cool, and she a dime, but I ain’t married to her and that’s how she was acting. I’m young I ain’t even reached my peak yet. Ain’t nobody got time to be settling down, bump that.” He said getting loud
“Aight, damn nigga, I just asked a question. Just be careful, nigga, you already know Mariah ain’t one to stay in one place for too long,” he said as Mariah approached the bar again
“Don’t worry, O,” he said grabbing her hand, “I know what I’m doing,” he said as they went to the dance floor and O went to find Me’shelle
The party was really getting crunk, and Jarday was ready to break Jarell off. But she couldn’t find him. After minutes of searching, she found him at the bar having a party of his own, with a bottle of Bacardi.
“Jarell, there you are, I’ve been looking all over for you,” she said as she reached the bar
“We’ve been looking for you too,” he said slurring and stumbling to get off the bar stool
“Ooh, baby, how much of that did you drink?” she said smelling his breath which was on hum
“Oh, not that much, this only the second bottle,” he said laughing
“second bottle? Jarell, you crazy?” she yelled as he held his head
“Yea, crazy, for you. Come here,” he said as he grabbed her and kissed her forcefully
“Jarell…I…think…” she tried to say, but he kept kissing her “Jarell, stop! You’re drunk!” she said as he walked away from him. She hated this side of him, he wasn’t one to drink much, but when he did, he binged.
Mario and Ashley agreed to dance with other people and then meet up in the middle of the floor, but that was about an hour ago. Mario stopped dancing to look for her, and found her, or so he thought,
“Baby, where are you?” he yelled to the girl
“Right here,” she said as she grabbed his hand in the crowd
“I’ve been looking for you, come over here,” he said as he kissed her passionately. Just then he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see his girl, Ashley, looking pissed
“Who is this?” she said calmly looking at Mario’s guilty face
“Um..Um..” he said searching for words
“I’m Adrienne, his girl,” she said as she grabbed his hand
“Oh, well have a good time with him, hope he don’t do you wrong,” she said as she began to tear up and walk off the dance floor,
“Hold up, girl!” he said running after her as he caught up with her, and grabbed her arm
“Let go of me!” she said getting out of his grasp
“You gotta believe me, It’s not what you think, I’m sorry, Adrienne,” he said not even catching his mistake
“Adrienne? Yea, you sorry, so sorry you can’t even remember my name,” she said as she walked away from him leaving him alone
Omari and Me’shelle were dancing to Dru Hill’s “I Should Be,” when Dom ran up to them
“Mommy, are we gonna have cake now?” he asked her anxiously,
“I don’t know, are we?” she asked Omari
“Yea, let’s do it,” he said as he snapped his fingers and two guys rolled out a cake with 25 candles on it, they all sang “Happy Birthday” to her, and she blew out her candles, and everyone cheered. Then…
“Hold up, I got something to say,” Omari yelled as they all got quiet
“Me’shelle, ever since I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one, you’re my angel, my heart, you’re everything I want and need in a woman. I don’t wanna lose you, I wanna be with you forever, you’re my everything. I guess what I’m trying to say is…” he said as he got down on one knee and pulled out a fat diamond ring “Me’shelle, will you marry me?”
The guests waited with anticipation to hear her answer, and little sweat beads started to trickle on Omari’s forehead, he didn’t expect her to hesitate. MeMe looked from him to Dom to her parents to Jarday then back at Omari. “Omari, I…um…i… can’t. I’m so sorry, O,” she said as she pushed through the crowd and ran out of the club.
“Um, I know this is a sad situation, but can I get some cake please, I’m starving,” Jarell said drunk as hell
Omari just looked at him and tried to hide the hurt in his eyes. Omari was a very private person and rarely every displayed emotions in public. He was not about to cry no matter how hard it hurt. .
The party was slowly ending and the guests were leaving. The guys gave O “I’m sorry, Playa,” while the ladies, “I would’ve married you.” Omari stuck around a couple more minutes and waited for the clean up people to come and then went to his car to look for Me’shelle.
Me’shelle caught a cab and it took her to Crichton Park, it was the spot that Jason and Me’shelle met at all the time in high school. She played on the merry go round, swung on the swings and even slid down the slide, before she realized Jason wasn’t coming. She had just turned down the man of her dreams, to listen to yet another lie. She walked away from the park and began to walk a little ways down the street, and called a cab. Shortly, after that it began to rain, and thinking how her life was slowly but surely gonna fall apart, she began to cry.
