Jayla and Asia are looking at bridesmaids dresses.

"Girl, I'm excited for you and all but.. you sure you wanna do this?", Jayla asked.

"Why Jayla? ", Asia asked.

"Well... I mean like Josh... is josh. You see the shit he got you into , you see the shit he into. He's controlling", Jayla said.

"It's not Josh fault", Asia disagreed. "And he promised me he wasn't going to be so controlling anymore"

"And you believe him?", Jayla asked.

"Yes", Asia replied.

"Okay", Jayla said. "Whatever"

"Jayla if you gone act like that go", Asia said.

"Really?? You gone do me like that over him?", Jayla said. "The nigga who put his hands on you"

"Don't bring up that shit! It was one time and it was months ago. He apologized and he hasn't done it again", she said.

"Who said he won't do it again?", Jayla asked.

"What is your problem? Why can't you just be happy for me. I finally found somebody who loves me.", Asia said.

"But do you love him?? Asia I see more of a bond between you and Zay than I do you and Josh", Jayla said.

"Why you bringing up Zay. He's my friend, of course we have some sort of bond", Asia said.

"You didn't answer my question", Jayla said.

"Yes! I love him", Asia said.

"Then I guess that's all that matters right?", Jayla said.

"Right", Asia said.

Jayla nods and continues looking at bridesmaids dresses.

Asia begins to think about Jayla and what all she was saying.

"And by the way, he said he was going to do better for himself. Starting off by moving and stop drug dealing", Asia said.

"Moving where?", Jayla asked.

"We haven't decided", Asia said.

"Well different city, state? What?", Jayla asked.

"Jayla I don't know", she said. "It's up to him"

Jayla shakes her head.

"What about our business?", Jayla asked.

"We'll see be working together and I can still come and visit, so we can hang out", she said.

Jayla nodded.

"Every since that night.. he been really really protective over me... I think moving would calm his nerves, so I'm letting him decide.", she said.

"Yea, I understand", Jayla said. "I'm just going to miss you that's all"

Asia smiles. "I'll miss you too hun"

A couple weeks later, Asia decided to get Josh out the house and go out for dinner.

Josh is in the mirror fixing his tie as Asia comes out the bathroom with a long royal blue dress on with a slit at the bottom and her hair back in a slick bun.

Josh sees her through the mirror. "Damn", he said as he turned around.

Asia smiles.

"You're gorgeous", he said.

"Thank you", Asia said. "You ready".

"Yea", he said as he put if Rolex on.

—————————

Josh and Asia were having a good time at dinner.

"So, where were you thinking about moving?", Asia asked.

"Um... Charlotte", he said.

"That's far from Florida", Asia said.

"Yea.. I just.. I don't know. Always wanted to move there", he said.

Asia nods. "It is a pretty place"

"Exactly, besides too many people know my face in this state", he said.

The waiter walks by.

"Excuse me can I get another drink, this time a little stronger?", Josh asked.

"He'll be getting water thank you", Asia said.

The waiter nodded and walked to the back.

"You already had about three cups", Asia said.

"These little ass cups?", Josh holds up the wine glass.

"Josh quit", Asia said. "Stop drinking so much"

Josh doesn't say nothing.

"You never used to drink", Asia whispered.

"I never used to let my kids die and soon to be wife get raped either", he whispered back.

Asia didn't say anything because she hated how hard he was taking the situation. She also didn't like to be reminded of it either.

"I usually can put two and two together. I usually know about shit and sense shit before it happens", he said.

"Josh stuff happens, get over it", she said.

"Get over it? I can't", he said.

"We get married in two weeks Josh. If imma take yo last name then imma need you to get it together. You're stronger than this. Don't let no muthafucka ruin your life. Shit happens, if I'm tryna move on from it, you should to", Asia said.

Josh didn't say nothing.

"Get it together, Josh. I didn't pressure you at first but this drinking shit is getting out of hand. It's been weeks", she said.

"Fine", he said.

"Thank you", she said.

It's been a few weeks since Josh and Asia has that talk. They have gotta married and even found a house in Charlotte but they haven't moved yet.

Josh is in the closet taking down his clothes that he's packing. Asia comes up behind him and hugs him.

"I can't believe we're married", she said.

"I can, I been waiting for this day since I realized how much I loved you", he said.

Asia smiles and lays her head on his back and lowers her hands to his pants.

Josh moves her hands. "Come on now Asia", he said.

Asia walks away out the closet. " a month", she said. "A fucking month"

Josh didn't say anything.

"We haven't had sex in a month", she said. "Not even our honeymoon"

"Cause I just wanted to enjoy our time alone that's all", he said.

"What's your excuse now?", she asked.

"I'm packing", he said. "And it's not an excuse"

Asia shook her head. "You must be gettin it from somebody else" , she said. "Ain't no way"

"Why you always accuse me of cheating?", he asked.

"Because what nigga don't have sex with they girl for that long? Especially when she willing to give it up", she said.

"I'm not cheating", he said.

"Do you not wanna have sex with me because I was raped?", she asked. "I don't have nothing. The bitch at least put a condom on. I even got tests done"

"Listen", he said. "Sex equal two people making a baby... and it just keeps reminding me that something was in there", he said as he points to her stomach.

Asia didn't say anything. "Still be a month... well more than a month cause I was.. you know.. pregnant"

"Honestly, we can have sex if you let me drink, that's the only way I won't think about it", he said.

Asia shakes her head. "You gotta be drunk to have sex with me?", she folds her arms across her chest. "Fuck you"

"I didn't mean like that baby. You can at least understand what I mean by that.", he said.

Asia walks out the room.

Josh sits in the edge of the bed. "Damn", he said.
