[4 Months Later]

Needless to say, Chris and Tonya eventually got back together. And for a short while, their relationship status appeared to be a whole lot better. Tonya was feeling great. She was working out everyday; to get herself in shape. Achieving a personal goal, of her losing some weight. Chris had even gotten a promotion at his job, along with a hefty raise. He also agreed to go speak with a counselor about controlling his rage. At first, it seemed their lives were moving at a more stable pace. But, sadly things did not stay that way!

[Saturday Morning...Tonya Returning Home From Exercising]

"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Are you planning on making breakfast?"
"Well no, I hadn't plan on it; although I can. But, why are you waiting on me? What's wrong with your hands?"
"Nothing!(he crosses his arms and shuffles his feet, while sucking his teeth...after getting out of his seat to leave) Why in the hell do I have to starve, because you're trying to lose weight and get skinny for nigga all of a sudden?"
"Man please! You just walked past me for nearly 2 weeks, without so much as a peep. Now all of a sudden, this morning you want me to make you something to eat! I don't really have a problem with that. But, you could have at least, ask nicely!"
"Well why should I have to beg, for your ass to fix your husband some fuckin' bacon, grits and eggs?"
"That's right! You're my husband! So, that means I'm your wife! Which in no way makes me your got damn cook or maid; but your partner in life!"
"Yea, whatever Tonya! I bet if that new nigga asked you to cook, he wouldn't have to hear a lecture, to eat breakfast!"
"Precisely! Especially if he asked nicely!"

Chris leaves to go get something to eat. Tonya didn't care, she was relieved to get him outta her hair and regain her peace! She went upstairs to gather their dirty clothes and bed sheets; so she could start the task of washing the laundry. Because once that chore was complete. She was gonna go in her closet; to find something pretty for her and Tiffany! They had been invited to a wedding and reception. And she had every intention of celebrating with the bride and groom, as well as enjoying some dancing and party refreshments.

[Jason & Antoinette Small's Wedding Reception]

They were all having such a good time. DJ Big Mixx was playing "The Electric Slide" and a small group of party goers had formed a dance line. Tonya was glad she'd left Chris behind. Although, she really couldn't lie...it got her thinking back to when she and her husband's marital knot was tied. On a day that felt magical, when she too was a blushing bride!

"Momma come dance with me?"
"Ok! I'm coming in a minute Tiffany."

Tiffany and Tonya got into their own grove. She was clearly no match for her daughter...on keeping up with the latest dance moves. After the third song went off, Tonya left the floor, because she was tired of getting schooled! That's when she was approached by a familiar face. One she hadn't seen since middle school!

"What's up Tonya, girl? I haven't seen you in years."
"Hi Megan, damn! How have you been? It's funny running into you here!"
"Yea well, My cousin is related to the groom. What about you?"
"The bride and I are like siblings. We've known each ever since we were little children."
"Oh ok! Well girl I just wanted to say hey...because I haven't seen you since you and my brother use to date back in the day!"
"Yeeesss! And speaking of your brother. How his he doing anyway?"
"He's doing just fine. You know what...I'm gonna call him right now. He'd be upset if I told him I saw you and I didn't try; to get him on the line."

Ring! Ring! Ring! ?
"Hello!"
"Jamel, what are you doing?"
"Nothing! Just watching the game!"
"Well I'm standing here with an old friend; but I won't tell you their name! Hold on."
(Tonya takes the phone)
"Well hello Jamel!"
(Just hearing her voice, Jamel already knew the name of this female)
"Tonya!"
"Yes sir! How are you?"
"I'm good! Damn girl, it's nice to hear from you!"
"I agree! From the way you said that, it almost feels like you missed me."
"You have no idea...I still think about you after all these years!"

Now Tonya's blushing from ear to ear! Listening to her teenage love say that...was like music to her ears!

"Me too! Although I've moved on and I'm married now...I still would often think of you!"
"Really? Well why did you dump me back in middle school?"
"Boy stop!"

They both laughed and continued to talk. Five minutes later, they exchanged numbers...with a promise to speak again, before ending the call and Tonya placed the phone back in Megan's hand!

(1 Month Later)

Tonya got dressed in her workout gear. Put on her sneakers, then placed her head phones over her ears! She was going for her daily walk, when it began to rain. So, instead she opted to workout in their community fitness center, where she was a member! The past month things has gotten even worse between her and Chris. They were leading two separate lives, as if their marriage no longer exists! He would leave extra early and come home really late. They seemed less like husband and wife. But, more like roommates! Jamel had texted her the week before. She didn't give in to the allure...although the urge was definitely hard to ignore!

Ring! Ring! ?
"Hello!"
"What's up sis?"
"Working out! What's good lil bro?"
"Man I don't know! Your husband called me, talking crazy!"
"Really?! About what?"
"All typa stuff! But mainly saying he feels like you might be cheating and he's paranoid about you leaving!"
"That's bull shit! He's the one. He's trying to cover up whatever it is he's done!"
"Just be careful big sis! I don't wanna have to do something to fucking hurt Chris!"
"I will lil bro and I'm not worried about Chris. But, I'll keep my eyes open, just in case he tries some shit!"
"Alright! Love you. And I'll holla at you later!"
"Love you too lil brotha!" ?

Tonya couldn't believe his ass. That he would stoop so low as to lie and try an make her look bad! Then her phone beeps off with a text. She had a feeling about who it might be, before she even bothers to check! The message was in fact from Jamel. She responded back this time, thinking "what the hell!" He asked if Tonya was doing well. After she didn't reply the last time, he couldn't tell! She assures him that she was doing just fine. That she was busy and just really didn't have the time! The two of them would continue to message one another! She began to open up and confide in him, feeling close, making their connection just as imitate as if they were already lovers! Tonya was so engulfed in her electronic relationship with Jamel, she paid no attention to her husband! But unbeknownst to him, Tonya had gone thru his phone...one night while he was drunk, when he got back home! The things she found, really made her latch on more to Jamel now! Pretty soon, there wasn't a day that didn't go by...where they didn't talk or text! Tonya was so drawn to him, that she knew if they had the opportunity to be alone...that they'd probably end up having sex. For the time being, she wasn't ready to cross that line yet! This went on for about two months. That is until Chris went thru her phone and found some messages he thought he needed to confront!

"Tonya, I need to talk to you! I know you've been talking to some nigga name Mel! And before you try an lie, I already have the proof!"
"Ok! Since we're exposing secrets. What about Trisha and Bridgette? I believe she asked last weekend, when you were coming by again; to pay her a visit! There are some other incriminating messages I can also mention; but I think you get the picture!"

Chris was speechless. He wasn't aware that his wife knew that much of his private business! That conversation did nothing but pull them further apart! But Tonya should have been warned. That a bruised ego and broken heart... Could set anybody off!

[Two weeks later]

Ring! Ring!

"Good morning Granny!"
"Good morning baby? I'm calling to invite you and your husband out to a party tonight! Come around 7pm and wear something nice!"
"Thank you Granny and alright!"

Tonya didn't wanna extend her grandmother's invite. Especially since things between them were going so wrong. She figured it didn't hurt to ask him...even if he declined to tag along...she'd just go on her own!

(A Night To remember)

Chris excepted the invite, extended by his wife! He kinda hope they could make things right and enjoy their night!

They arrived at her grandmother's party on time. They ate, drank, mingled and had a really good time. Three hours later they left and were about to head back home. That's when he got a call from his friends, stating they had a fight party going on. He asked Tonya if she wanted to go. She agrees and so they leave. Tonya and Chris arrive at their second party. They started drinking again and talking with everybody! Tonya realized that she hadn't checked on Tiffany the entire time they were gone. Her cell was dead, so she asked Chris to use his phone. She call her sister to check up on Tiffany and sure enough, she was asleep! Tonya still had Chris's phone in her hand, as she rejoins the other ladies! She begin chatting and laughing. Not paying too much attention to the fight! Chris's phone started to ring and Tonya answered...without thinking twice!

"Hello!"
"May I speak with Chris?"
"Okay! But who is this?"
"Why does it matter? I didn't ask to speak with you. I asked for Chris!"
"But this is his fucking wife, you bitch!"
"I don't care! I didn't ask for you...I asked for him!"

Tonya called for Chris to come and get his phone and by the look that she gave him, he knew something was wrong. He never put the phone up to his ear. When he looked at the number on the screen, he knew exactly why she looked at him so mean! Chris figured it was time to go! His marriage was hanging on by a thread and that might've just been cut...depending on what Yolanda has said!

"Chris y'all leaving already?"
Yea Eddie, Tonya said she's ready!"
"Alright man, I'll call you some time tomorrow afternoon!"
"Cool! Have a good night and I'll talk to you soon!"

Tonya was already seated in the car waiting. She had hope their night would end with some long over due love making. But, that damn sure won't happen after talking to this woman, he still appears to be dating."

"Tonya!"
JUST TAKE ME HOME! I DON'T WANNA HEAR ANYTHING! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT!"
Chris starts the car and takes it outta park, so they could depart! But the troubled couple wouldn't get very far! Only a few miles down the road...Chris does the unthinkable! He turned down the music on the stereo and told Tonya "I know your intentions are to leave me...but I love you too much and that's not gonna be so easy!"

He gives the steering wheel a hard turn and sends the car speeding over the median! He was headed for oncoming traffic and caused their accident! The last thing Tonya remembers... Was ducking down and shielding her head! Shortly after the impact she looked around in disbelief; but relieved that she wasn't dead! But, her survival celebration was short lived. Chris had gotten out of the driver's seat, walked around to the passenger side, pulled her out of the car and threw her into the middle of the street! She was kicking, screaming and begging him please! Chris didn't care, he kept assaulting her and ignored her pleas! Tonya kept right on fight and finally got the opportunity to flee! She had no shoes on, her phone and all other personal artifacts were gone. Tonya ran in the night, for her life. While Chris still gave chase. She could hear him fast on her heels, so she tried her best to quicken up her pace! She alluded him for a moment; but he caught her...putting an end to her freedom race! She was tired, bruised and battered...staring at this mad man face to face! Tonya was terrified and certain she might die, yet again she put up a fight! Chris was trying to drag her back in the middle of the street....when she finally heard the sirens and saw the blues flashing lights, of the police!! She was being rescued and Chris was getting arrested. She knew this would be one night she won't be forgetting! Chris was headed to jail and again, all was well! The female officer allowed Tonya to use her personal cell phone, before taking her home. And it was at that moment Tonya deemed herself single! She removes the wedding ring from her finger and tossed it out the window! The next night, after she was just starting to take the edge off! She learned Chris was back out, from the notification provided by the Dept. of Corrections/ Victim's Advocate phone call...... long sleeve satin wedding dresses
