When it's wrong

11.

- Derrick

I finally got home from work, Kelsey really had me in the best mood possible. It was something about her that was so pure and innocent. She seemed as if she had a genuinely good time today and we didn't do anything but eat and talk all day. She didn't care about how much money I had or what type of car I was driving, she was just interested in me. I should feel bad about having these thoughts considering I'm engaged to Niyla. But I don't. Walking into the house my phone started ringing, it was Niyla calling and asking if her little assistant could come to stay with us. I don't know what got into me but I didn't even mind. I don't know if it was because of the amazing day I had with Kelsey or what. But I told her yes.

She said they would be here in a few so I thought it would be nice if I straighten up the house, plus I also wanted to shower. Cleaning up the house quickly I hopped in the shower in the hallway again. While I was showering I decided that from tonight on I was sleeping in the guest room. 

Niyla and I needed to talk and come up with a solution because I was unhappy in this relationship and it didn't make any sense to stay in something I wasn't happy with.  Tonight probably wasn't the best night to have that conversation because of her assistant coming over and everything. I dried off and just threw on some sweatpants. I put my headphones on so I could knock out a quick workout. Heading to the den I was just going to do a few pushups and sit-ups. Getting both done quickly I laid down to watch a movie until they got home, my mind went back to Kelsey wondering what she was doing.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and assumed it was just them, not really wanting to be bothered I just continued to watch my movie. Moments passed and Niyla walked into the room, something about her presents just annoyed me. " Can you please grab her bags and take them to her room, I am dead tired and want to jump in the shower before we all figure out dinner," she said. I didn't respond I just got up and headed down to her car. Grabbing her few bags I walked back into the house jogging up the stairs to her room, knocking on the door I heard her behind the door. Opening the door, my entire heart seemed as if it would explode. Kelsey? I semi screamed. Her expression as if she wanted to pass out, seeing she actually was becoming unbalanced I dropped her bags and caught her before she fell. I carried her into the room and laid her down on the bed, standing up I grabbed her bags from the hallway, closing the door behind me as I entered the room. Kelsey, I shook her. Wake up are you okay? I said. She wiped at her eyes as she sat up. " Derrick, you are Niyla's fiancé? She said with a shaky voice.

Listen, it's not as bad as it seems, I know it must look so bad right now. I am so sorry for lying to you, not really lying but omitting the truth. " Derrick I don't even know what to say, I would have never talked to you had I known, I love Niyla like a sister. I can't do this to her. YOU, YOU....... YOU Freaking kissed me Derrick. she said getting emotional. Kelsey, I am so sorry I said. She began to cry, my instant reaction was to hold her. The last thing I wanted was to make her cry. But damn she was so cute when she cried. Listen, Kelsey, me, and Niyla aren't in love anymore. I know it may just sound as if I'm saying this to make what I did better, but I'm not. I don't love her anymore. I was actually planning on having a talk with her about it. You have to believe me Kelsey I said, still holding her tightly as she cried.

Kelsey wasn't crying so much because she was hurt, but she was finally feeling happy and it was all taken away from her that fast. Derrick was a breath of fresh air for her, but now there was no way that she would be able to create something with this man knowing he was damn near married. Granted Niyla never talked about him, if it weren't for the huge rock on her finger you wouldn't even know she was engaged.  Kelsey felt like she needed to talk to Niyla, after all, she was doing for her it was the least she could do.

Kelsay finally stopped crying looking into my eyes with her slightly red and puffy eyes, my lips came crashing down into hers, my tongue making its way into her mouth exploring every inch of her mouth. My hands moved up and down her back as she deepened the kiss. Instantly causing me to come to life. Leaning into her small frame she fell back on the bed, getting in between her legs lowering myself onto her slowly she moaned in my mouth as she felt my hard d**k between her legs. I stopped myself before we got too far. I don't know what came over me Kelsey I am so sorry, for everything. Just promise me you'll let me talk to Niyla and explain everything.

Kelsey just looked away, It was so hard for me to know what she was thinking at this moment. The once outspoken joking person now looked defeated and sad, and I was the cause. I needed to fix this.  I leaned down and placed another kiss on her lips, as I got off the bed adjusting myself. She never looked at me as I exited the room.

Walking down the hallway to the bedroom, I needed to talk to Niyla and let her know I could no longer do this. Not that I wanted something serious with Kelsey right now. Well, I didn't really know what I wanted at this point. I walked into the bedroom seeing she wasn't in the room, she must be in the bathroom I thought to myself. Walking over to the bathroom the door was open. Niyla was naked applying body oil to her skin. Standing in the doorway, I must have scared her because she immediately covered up with a towel. " Damn Derrick, I didn't hear you come in, what's up?" she asked holding the towel close to her body.

Um well, I met Kel... "Kelsey," she said completely cutting me off. " Derrick, she has had a long two days. Her stepfather has been raping her basically her whole life, and she thought she was pregnant with his child. Turns out she isn't pregnant. But she has absolutely nothing to her name, I've been paying for her college and in return, she's been my assistant for the last two years. But she just told me about her stepfather situation." she said letting out a deep breath

In that moment my heart broke for Kelsey, I wanted to go back in that room and hold her and tell her everything would be okay and that no one would ever hurt her again. Niyla I was just going to say I met her and she was really sweet. But on another note, you and I need to talk, and I know this isn't probably the best time but I'm not happy anymore here. It's been a while now, I thought proposing was the right thing to do to keep us together. I don't think this is what I want right now. I said looking into her eyes.

" Derrick, I'm not happy either I never forgave you for putting your hands on me. I was trying so hard to make this work I never feel good enough for you. I was going to talk to you after things settled down with Kels." she said starting to cry.  Seeing she was crying made me feel bad, but I didn't feel the same as when I saw Kelsey cry. " Actually I have a job opportunity in Cuba and I'm thinking about taking it," she said wiping her tears. " You can also have the house, I'm going to move out," she said. "I'll talk to Kelsey and let her know everything," she said walking towards the closet.  Okay was all I said as I left her to get dressed.
