First of all, I just wanna say thank you to all who have been reading and reviewing. I really appreciate it, and believe me, the drama has not even begun in this story. So keep reading. Here's chapter 10, y'all know what to do.
Two Reasons I Cry
Chapter 10
“Shit!” MeMe gasped as she sat up in bed breathing hard, and sweating
“What’s wrong, baby?” Omari asked still laying down and looking over at her
“Nothing, I just had a dream, a real bad dream,” (The whole Omari ass-whooping incident, you really didn’t think he would do that, did you?) she said as she laid back down resting on Omari’s chest “O, I’m sorry,” she said as she looked up at him
“For what?” he asked looking confused
“For the way I was acting, I was just really confused, It took me a while to get over Jason, but now I know that right here, with you, is where I belong,” she said as she kissed him
“Baby, it’s okay, we’re together now, and that’s all that matters, we’re gonna be together forever,” he said as he pulled her close to him
“Yea, forever,” she said as she put her left hand out in front of her and examined the beautiful platinum diamond ring on her finger
“I love you, MeMe” Omari said as he rolled over to go back to sleep
“I love you too, O” she said as she smiled to herself and went back to sleep
The next morning
Dreux laid sound asleep in his bed, last night he had done his thang with Mariah, and she wore him out. He was so glad to be back with her, and was assured that things were going to work out this time. He was awoken by the sound of water running and got up to go brush his teeth
“Hey,” Mariah said to him as she turned off the water and began to fix her hair
“Hey, baby,” he said as he finished brushing his teeth and turned to kiss her
“Uh-uh, you’ll smudge me,” she said as she turned her head away from him, and pulled her long black hair into a bun.
“Whatever. Where you going?” he said as he kissed her anyway,
“Dreux!” she said as she put some more lipstick on, “I have a photo shoot today, and then a meeting with some people from Baby Phat.” She said as she sat down on the bed and put on her Minolo Blanhik Timbs (Like Beyonce in the Jay-Z video) and grabbed her jacket and purse and began to walk out the door
“What time you gonna be back?” he asked her as she stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around to him
“Um…Dreux, baby, I’m not coming back.” She said slowly as he looked confused
“What?” he said as the confused look started to be overcome with anger
“I’m not coming back. Look, there were so many reasons why it didn’t work out last time. And when we broke up, I found somebody new.” Mariah said while finagling around with her purse strap
“Somebody new? Who is he?” Dreux said searching her face for an answer
“You don’t know him, and even if you did, it’s not important. I guess the only reason I did what I did last night, was to…” she said as he cut her off
“You used me…” Dreux began to say in a hushed tone
“I didn’t use you Dreux. But I had to make sure that I wasn’t missing out on anything.” She said turning his face so that she could look at him “Dreux, I’m sorry,” she said
“Mariah, just go,” he said as he turned away from her and walked over to the window
“Dreux, I…” she said
“Get out!” he said as she jumped, he had never yelled at her before…ever. “Get the fuck out!” Dreux yelled as she walked out of his house and to her car. He heard her car start up and ran down the stairs and out the door. He didn’t want it to end like that. But when he got outside he saw her zooming down the street. He sat down on the concrete and thought about what Omari told him at the club. He thought about Capri, and the way he treated her. He thought about Mariah’s man, and the guy Capri was with at the club. And then he thought about how he was alone, and it was nobody’s fault but his own.
Jarday pulled up to Jarell’s house and got out, she didn’t have a key, but he always left a spare under the loose door frame. She stepped inside the house and closed it, but the air conditioner he left on caused it to slam. She heard Jarell yell from upstairs and knew exactly where he was. She walked up to his bedroom to find him in the bathroom, asleep in the bathtub. Knowing what would get him up, she turned on the water and pushed the shower button, as the cold water sprayed down on him, he jumped and did a James Brown scream.
“Well, good morning, yuckbreath,” she said as she laughed at the wet figure that stood before her
“Man, whatever, what you doing here,” he said as he shook himself and turned off the water “I figured we were through after last night,”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong, Jarell, we are through. I just came to get some stuff that I left here.” Jarday said as he stepped out of the bathroom, took off his shirt, and began to dry off with a towel
“Oh, yea, well it’s all scattered around the house. Good luck finding it all,” he said as flopped down on the bed and she rolled her eyes, and began to look around the room
“Jarell, what the hell is this?” she said as she picked up some dusty, moldy looking thing off the dresser and looked at Jarell
“Oh, that? Girl, that’s the chicken bone from the chicken you ate off of from our picnic in the park,” Jarell said as he got up and looked at it then walked into the bathroom
“You kept that?” she said as she heard him brushing his teeth
“Hell yeah, girl, why wouldn’t I?” he said as he came out the room
“Oh, my gosh,” she said as she walked over to his nightstand
“What?” Jarell asked her
“I didn’t know you had any pictures of us,” she said looking at the picture that they took at one of the Lil League B-ball games. Jarell had on a purple on yellow laker Jersey and she had a yellow on purple laker Jersey dress, and she had took his hat and put It on while he wrapped his hands around her and pulled her close.
“Yea, I do,” he said as he went into the bathroom and began to pee with the door open
“Eww, Jarell,” she said as she put the picture down
“What? Men who love their women do this all the time,” he yelled from the bathroom, washed his hands and closed the door, as he saw Jarday looking at him crazy “What?!”
“Jarell, you said you…” she began to say
“Love you? I do, I love you Jarday,” he said as he walked close to her
“I love you too, when you’re not being an ass,” she said as she stopped him in his tracks trying to be defensive
“What? Being an ass? Oh, you mean last nite?” he said as she turned around to face him
“Last nite? Do we have to narrow it down to just one?” she said as she began to play around with her fingers
“Baby, about last nite, I’m sorry I don’t know what came over me, I can’t say that it won’t happen again, but I want you there with me to make sure it won’t.” he said looking at her with apologizing eyes, waiting to hear her answer
“Jarell, I forgive you. And I love you, ass and all.” She said as she smiled and he pulled her close and kissed her, slowly and sensually, just like the first time, and with that kiss, Jarday knew things would be back to normal real soon.

Ashley was heated after the little incident at the club, but was trying her best to take her mind off of it. She had decided to do what she did best. Shop. She was at the mall walking around, when she spotted Mario. Determined to forget about what happened, she walked over to him.
“Hey,” she said calmly, causing him to turn around
“Whassup,” he said looking her over, there was an akward silence between them, she looked at the ground as he began to put his hands in his pocket and rock back and forth
“So…” he said
“So…” she said back to him
“Look, Ashley, about that night, I didn’t…” Mario began to say as she cut him off
“Mario, I don’t wanna talk about that night, I’m done with it if you are, besides things happen,” she said trying to force a smile over her hurt
“Yea, things happen.” He repeated, “but I really am sorry,” he said as he searched her face for some expression
“I know. Mario, I think that we should just forget about it and move on. You and me. Us.” She said as he looked up from the ground
“Us? Ashley, I was thinking. Even though what happened at the club shouldn’t have, it was a wake-up call for me. I’m a playa, I’m young, and one person isn’t gonna get it with me. Maybe we just need some…space.” He said as her eyes widened with his every word
“Space?” she said getting loud then bringing herself back down. “Maybe you’re right, I was getting kinda crowded.” She said as she felt the tears coming to her eyes
“Ashley, don’t take it personal. It’s not you, it’s me.” He said as he hugged her, and kissed her cheek. She didn’t hug him back, and cringed at the touch of the lips that she used to love to taste. “I’ll see you around…maybe.” He said to her. She watched him walk away and noticed a girl come out of the store and walk beside him. He kissed her lips and then he got behind her and put his arms around her waist and they walked down the mall together. It took Ashley a minute to realize she knew this girl, it was Adrienne from the club. A tear fell down her cheek as she turned around and walked towards the exit of the mall.
Don't be mad, y'all, but everybody can't have a happy ending, right?
