In Spite of the Bosset Life(26)
“I swear it was once, Ace.”
“That don’t matter. You betrayed us! You counted me out,” said Ace, walking past me. He stormed off to our room and slammed the door. I was left alone to tend to my own tears. I slid down the wall and cried. My phone started going off because Rodney was calling. I threw my phone at the wall in frustration. I cried on the floor because I couldn’t get the look on Ace’s face out my head. I didn’t have to say I f*cked another nigga. He saw it in my eyes. I couldn’t make Ace forgive me. He had to. My tears wet the floor up and I wept.
“Ace noooo! Let me goooo,” I said crying and freaking out. Ace dragged my ass into our room and locked the door. I fought to get his hands off me. The more I fought, the more aggressive he got. He wouldn’t say shit. He just did. “Ace, let me go! You feel good now? Grabbing me like this!” Ace looked hurt and that hurt me. I regretted lying down with Rodney. That was the wrong move and I let my * get me in this one.
Chapter 12
“Ma Ma, open up! Ma Ma, I can’t get in!” screamed Majesty, bamming on our door. She was wiggling the hell out our door knob.
“Go fix yo f*cking face,” said Ace, tossing me. I fell on my ass and just held my face. I felt like shit already and Ace was treating me like he didn’t care about me anymore. I feared he really didn’t care. “Koì, I said go fix yo face. What did I tell you! Get the f*ck up!” Ace didn‘t give me no time to get up. He grabbed me by my throat and forced me to the bathroom. I punched him in the jaw but that only pissed him off more. He avoided my eyes and left me on the cold floor. My tears fell on the marble floor and I cried hard. My hand was aching off one punch.
“DaDa, where Ma Ma?” asked Majesty with her small voice.
“Move,” said Ace, not wanting my daughter to come to the bathroom.
“Ace, you move! Matter of fact, get out,” I said crying. Majesty rushed in the bathroom and touched my face.
“Ma Ma, why you crying? Stop crying Ma Ma.” Majesty hugged me tight. I ignored my daughter because I couldn’t tell her that her dada hurt my feelings. I didn’t want her to think negative of her father.
“Baby, I’m okay. Mommy okay,” I said, wiping my eyes. Ace stood in the doorway not knowing what to do.
“Are you crying because Robbie hurt you?” Ace looked confused and I looked at Majesty. I put my daughter in my lap. Ace clenched his fist like he wanted to punch me.
“Baby no.”
“Why you crying den?”
“Who the f*ck is my daughter talking about? Majesty, what you talking about?” Majesty and I jumped. Ace was yelling and demanding answers. I thought he would put a hole in the wall if he hit it one more time.
“Robbie was under the covers hurting MaMa...” It was pure silence. He then slapped the shit outta me.
“Ace, no! Gimme my daughter!” Ace grabbed Majesty and was walking out our room. I ran after him and attempted to get my daughter back. He pushed me one good time, sending me to the ground. “Ace, you not taking her!”
“I want MaMa,” said Majesty, reaching for me.
“Majesty, go to your room now!” Ace put her down and pointed to her room down the hall.
“No smoochie! Come to MaMa,” I said, coaching my daughter to me and crying hard. No way was Ace going to beat my ass. Majesty was the only one here to save me. I picked my daughter up and ran back to my room. I locked the door because Ace was coming after me.
“Koì, open the door!”
“Ace NO! You scaring my baybee.” I covered my baby’s ears and sat against the door. Majesty was crying and holding me tight. Ace banged on the door out of frustration.
“Koì, I’m not gon tell you again! Open this f*cking door!” Ace was bamming loudly on the door and he was scaring me.
“I’m sorry Ace. I swear it was one f*cking time. I was lonely, okay! You wasn’t here. I’m not opening this door for you to beat me!”
“Beat you? Girl, open this door! Have I hit yo ass for real for real,” said Ace, as if I was tripping. In fact, he sounded like I was blowing his mind. Ace actually only roughed me up and grabbed my throat. I actually had done the hitting. He slapped me one time and I’m sure it was because Majesty snitched on me. Not saying that him choking me was okay but he didn’t punch me. I was just scared and felt like I deserved to get my ass beat.
“No but that don’t mean when I open this door you not. Ace, you acting crazy and scaring my baybee.”
“What’s crazy is how you steady referring to Majesty as just yours. Is it something you need to tell me?” I put my daughter on the bed and unlocked the door REAL quick! I punched him dead in the face as soon as I opened the door.
“Don’t you EVER in yo f*cking life question my baybee being yours! Is you f*cking crazy?” Ace shook the blow off. He reached back and slapped the shit out of me.
“Now you calm down. Stop thinking you can f*ck with me. I just needed you to open the door. I had to say something,” said Ace, touching my face gently. He always found a way to get through. Just like in Dubai when he got me in the pool. I moved back and picked Majesty up. That really hurt my feelings and that slap. “Did I hit you hard?”
“Did I hit you hard?” I asked, moving back and touching my face. I rolled my eyes and picked my daughter up.
