Stephanie

I jogged excitedly into the church with my bag of popcorn and sat down IN THE FRONT ROW.

Everybody was all dressed up and looked so elegant and nice.

I probably look crazy as fuck coming into this wedding with a white V-neck, some black Adidas pants, and some black Balenciaga Speed Trainers, but bitch I didn't give not one fuck.

Opening my popcorn, I popped some into my mouth. I turned to some people behind me, "Y'all want some?" They all politely shook their heads no except for one guy. "I do! Shidd." He said holding his hands out.

"Shid well okay, I gotchu!" I said quickly pouring some into his hands. "Thank ya sister, thank ya!"

"You're welcome! Just let me know if you want some more!" "Will do!" He said putting some in his mouth. I turned back around and slightly chuckled.

Cause this gone be a motherfucking show...

I turned my face up looking around at all the decorations unimpressed.

For her to be so damn boujie, have all that money (which isn't hers, it's her fathers but that's tea for another day), and her talking about how big the wedding was going to be, you just would've expected more out of her.

Girl all that money David got, he would've paid for whatever. He doesn't care what the cost is. This doesn't even look like his style.

I mean don't get me wrong, the little flowers was cute and everything... But girl, she played over this wedding. She was probably to busy trying to run up behind Glenn.

I have to find out who did this, because they won't be doing me or Angel's shit. I'm going to make sure our shit is decked the fuck out.

I turned back around to the people behind me. "Y'all know who did this?" I asked pointing behind me with my eyebrows furrowed. They shook their heads. "No, but it's a lil plain..." One girl said as she looked around.

"Oop! Girl right! I was just finna say the same thing!" I nodded my head and turned around in my seat.

I was eating my popcorn when I turned my head to the left and did a double take...

What the fuck she doing here? How she know her?

I then looked up and Dave and Jd standing at the alter. "The fuck she doing here?" I scrunched my face up and mouthed to them.

They both shrugged their shoulders with their eyebrows raised. "I didn't even know they knew each other..." Dave mouthed back to me.

Hmm... I sat there with my leg bouncing, feeling my anger rise.

I swear, if Kelis or Mya had anything to do with my fiancé getting shot, these people gonna have to call the police on me to get me out of here. And I put that on Momo, Deon, Kairi, and whoever else.

I looked at Jaceyon. "NO." He mouthed to me. "Ima let you, just wait."

I huffed and nodded my head. I'm not going to say anything right now though, I'll just wait. I'll just wait...

My phone began to vibrate.

Guardian Angel ❤️: Best friend, where you at? 🙁 You was supposed to been here hours ago...

Steph Curry 😂❤️: Girl I'm coming! I'm doing some right now.

Guardian Angel ❤️: Doing what tho? I couldn't go?

Steph Curry 😂❤️: No Angel!

Guardian Angel ❤️: But why? What you doing? I miss you... 🙁

Steph Curry 😂❤️: Girl hush! Yo ass don't miss me! You just saw me last night!

Guardian Angel ❤️: Where you at? 🙁

Steph Curry 😂❤️: Angel, if I tell you again, Ima get mad. Ni I told you I was handling business! I'm coming babygirl, just hold on.

Guardian Angel ❤️: Mmkay... 🙁

I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Um ma'am, excuse me..." I looked up from my phone and saw a light skinned middle aged woman. She stared at me; I jumped at her and bucked my eyes.

"Yes? All in my face." I asked with an attitude.

"Um, I'm going to need you to move and sit somewhere else. These are reserved seats for the family." I looked to the right and left of me seeing that no one was sitting in the front row on either sides; I looked back at her.

"Lady, I'm not moving anywhere. I don't give a fuck if this her dead grand daddy seat- See, you got me cussing in church. Know God don't like that, get out my face. Got me mad." Her mouth dropped as people laughed at me.

"Well I guess we'll just have to call the police..." She said, rolling her neck.

"Do it then beige lady!" I yelled in her face and the whole church busted out laughing.

[S/N: When Bibby said this on Atlanta, I died... I said wtf did he just call her 💀]

"Ugh!" She groaned and stomped off. "Shoot..." I mumbled and turned around, facing front.

The chatter in the church stopped and soft music began to play. I grabbed my popcorn and sat up.

"Oop, show time."

Dave

I stood at the alter mugging the fuck out of everyone that walked into the church with my people on their arms.

I couldn't believe I got myself into this with Mya without thinking about it first. I jeopardized everything, including my family.

I know where I need to be: at home with Angel and Kiari. My two Little Butts. They're who I live for, who I grind for, who I changed my entire life around for. I need to be here for them.

When I first met Angel, I had no true intentions on getting out the streets. I was the biggest drug lord in New York, and I was in love with how fast the money was. It took her staying on my back; pressing me to get out of the them. Now look at me. I have the most successful gym in the state of New York and making way more than I was selling drugs and risking my life and freedom.

Angel did that. She made me a better man... I'm so disgusted at myself for how I've treated her and the pain I put her through.

She deserves to be treated like a queen, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Everyone stood up as my Mya began to walk down the isle with her father Anthony on her arm. She was cheesing from ear to ear at me as people took pictures of her. I mugged her even more.

She was no longer beautiful to me. I no longer loved her. I didn't feel anyway towards her. Now that everything came to the light, I now saw her for what she was. And 9 times out ten, her and Kelis had something to do with Jd getting hurt. I'm not sure what though.

They stopped walking and stood in front of the alter. "Who gives this bride to this groom in marriage?" Pastor James asked looking at them.

"I do." Anthony said as he smiled. She came to the alter and grabbed my hands. Everyone sat down.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you here to join and witness the wedding ceremony of David Brewster and Mya Sanders. The Vows which you are about to exchange serve as a verbal representation of the love you pledge to each other. For it is not the words you speak which will bond you together as one, but it is the inner sense of love and commitment that each of you feels within your heart and soul." Pastor Davis stopped speaking and gave us the floor. Mya opened her mouth first.

"David, I love you and the way you treat me. You treat me like I'm a princess. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and have little babies running around. I'll always be honest and I'll never cheat or lie to you. I won't hurt you David, I love you with all my heart..." Her eyes became glossy and now it was my turn to speak.

I chuckled and opened my mouth. Even she don't believe that shit.

"Mya, when I met you, I was so happy that I finally found someone who was ready to settle down with, get married, and have a family. In my eyes, you were an amazing, beautiful woman. When everyone kept telling me, 'No Dave, don't go through with it.' I didn't listen. I took care of you when nobody else would.  I took you out of that raggedy apartment and that broke down 2001 Honda Accord and put you in a brand new Benz. You didn't have to pay for anything. I took care of everything, even your shopping habit. And the fact that you treated me so bad in return and you're standing up here lying to me in my face in front of all these people absolutely disgusts me. My time with you was nothing but hell. Lord please forgive me for doing this in your house, and Pastor Davis please excuse my language, but bitch, I was so wrong about you. I refuse to marry you and can not fathom to look at your face another second." The entire audience gasped and everyone began to chatter.

"D-David, h-how could you s-say that?" She asked with tears coming out of her eyes. I stepped away from her and cleared my throat.

I faced the audience. "THIS EVIL WOMAN CHEATED ON ME OUR ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MAN WHO SHOT MY BEST MAN, ALMOST KILLING HIM! I DO BELIEVE THAT SHE MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT."

Mouths dropped and eyebrows were being raised as I went on and about all the things Mya did during the time that we were together. The looks on everyone's faces were priceless.

I looked back at her. "I want everything back. I have the ring and your car keys. I'll send your things to your fathers house. I want you to know that you'll never find another man like me... MY PEOPLE, COME ON! WE OUT..." I yelled to them. All eyes were on me as I walked out the church with them behind me.

"Yo Steph, drive us to her moms." I instructed as I went to the passenger side of her door.

"Oh I'm already on it." She said pulling out her keys.

"DAVID! DAVID PLEASE! IM SORRY!" I heard Mya cry out behind us.

"BITCH-" I then saw Steph about to approach her. But before she could, my mom came out of no where and gave her one punch to the face, knocking her clean the fuck out.

"Shit..." Everybody said staring at Mya's unconscious body.

"Go get your woman baby! Don't worry about Kai... I got her!" She yelled to me.

"Thanks ma..." I smiled and hopped in the car.

Angel

"So he didn't believe you huh?" My mom sat the cup of coffee down in front of me. I shook my head. "No ma. He didn't... I just couldn't believe he thought I was jealous of him."

I picked up the cup. "Well Angel, do you blame him?"

I coughed. "What do you mean?" I asked, almost choking on my drink.

"Baby you should've been told him that! You should've told him that when it first happened! I get it, I get it, you didn't know how. I get that baby, I swear I do. But just think about it. If he rolled in on your WEDDING DAY, after y'all were just sleeping in the same bed together, saying how he saw your husband kissing another woman months ago, you would think he was just jealous right?" I sighed.

"Yeah ma... I could see how it would look that way. I don't want him to get hurt... I just- I don't know..." I looked down.

"Well baby. I believe that everything's gonna be fine. It may look bad right now, but in the long run he'll see Mya for who she really is. It's going to be okay." She walked over and pulled me into a tight embrace.

I shut my eyes tight, taking in her sweet perfume. "I love you.." She whispered to me and kissed my forehead. "I love you too.." We smiled at each other.

The doorbell began to ring. "Oh that must be Stephanie!" She let me go and jogged out the kitchen, leaving me there alone.

I sighed again thinking about everything. I'm convinced that love hates me...

"ANGELLL!" I furrowed my brows as my mother shouted throughout her huge home.

"ANGEL SWEETIE!!!" I turned around and was shocked by seeing Dave, Stephanie, and Jd walk into the kitchen behind my mom.

Dave walked straight to me and put both of my hands on the sides of my face. "Dave, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be getting married! And where's Kiari?!"

Taking me by surprise, he crashed my lips onto mine. He moaned into my mouth as he deepened the kiss. I stumbled back a little, but his hold on my face kept me balanced.

He pulled back. Still holding onto me, he looked into my eyes. "Angel, I'm not getting married.. You were right. You were right about everything you said. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry... For everything. For pushing you away, for messing around with Millie and Mya, for leaving you alone when you needed me the most, for not understanding you, for not waiting on you, everything..." He began to cry and got down on his knees and looked into

"Baby please.. Let's-let's make this work. Angel, I love you... I need you... I'll-I'll go to counseling, we'll get you some help, I'll wait on you Angel for however long you want until you're ready! I'll do whatever it is that you need me to just baby please... Please let's make this work... I can't go on another day without you and Kiari in my life. I love you... Angel I'm begging you. Please baby... I wanna come home... The next and only woman I want to marry is you. Just let my show you that you're the one that I want... Let me show you.." He cried as he hugged my thighs. I was crying too...

I was in absolute shock. I couldn't believe that he was here right now saying all of this to me. This is what I've been dreaming of...

"O-okay..." I got out in between my cries. He looked up at me.

"Okay? I can come home to you?" I nodded my head. "Yes, but you have to work for me back. And it's NOT going to be easy..."

"I'll do whatever I have to do Mama... I promise..." He stood up and everyone cheered as he kissed me again.

I let out a scream as he picked me up bridal style. "I'm taking you home..." He whispered to me. I smiled and laid my head on his chest.

The cheers continued as he carried me out the house. This is all I've ever wanted...
