Chapter 2 – Traffic

Stacey's P.O.V

Choices…wrong ones, right ones…who gives a fuck your screwed if you make the wrong ones and cant change that and if you make the right ones…well I wouldn't know how to make a right choice.

I was driving to California; Junior sleeping in the back, all our luggage, clothes, shoes, photos, our whole lives was packed in to the back of my Toyota Corolla. I had called Roman a few hours before I left Mexico to make sure it was alright if me and Junior came to stay with him for a while.

I didn't tell him why and he didn't ask, I guess he'd ask when we got there.

I was a couple miles outside of Miami backed up in traffic, I was getting so pissed off now I couldn't wait to get to Roman's all I wanted was a shower, I was so hot, I could feel the sweat dripping down my back and it was disgusting.

Cars were sounding their horns, and revving their engines trying to make the traffic move faster yeah right like that was going to work.

My cell phone rang making me jump; I would be alright to answer it we moving like 3 mph, so no chance of crashing here. I searched my handbag for the ringing phone trying to do it as fast as possible so Junior wouldn't wake.

"What 'sup?" I answered reading Tej's name on the caller ID.

"Roman said your coming to stay in Cali what's going on?" Tej asked concerned and a little angry cause I hadn't told him I was coming.

"Nothing me and Mark are just having a little trouble I needed to get out of there" I explained as briefly as possible.

"What sort of trouble?" he asked

"Just small stuff" I lied

"Why you staying with Rome? Why not me or Dom?" he asked

"Cause I don't want Dom to know I'm here and you live like a block away from Dom therefore he'd know I was there"

"Why don't you want him to know?" Tej asked as the cars in front began to move faster.

"Babe I gotta go…"I began putting the car in second to pull off "…traffic is moving I'll call you later"

"Ok cool" he replied

"Tej don't tell Dom" I told him

"I wont…love you babe"

"Love you too" I replied.

I hung up and threw my cell phone on the passenger chair and began to pull off. The traffic was moving, finally. Although the traffic was moving now it still seemed to take forever to get to Roman's house.

I felt bad cause I hadn't told Tej I was coming but the less people that knew the less people there were to tell Dom. I didn't need a show-down with him; it was just easier if he didn't know I was there.

I had come to the conclusion that Dom was wrong for me, he wasn't the stable, reliable, kind, sweet guy I wanted him to be and I couldn't change him, I had tried and failed every time!

I was a fool for him, I knew that and I'd admit it too. All he had to do was say he's sorry and that he loves me and I'd fall right back in to his arms just to get hurt again…well I wasn't going to do it anymore, I couldn't, I had Junior to think about. Ok so Dom was his dad but it wouldn't be fair to him to see us fight all the time. I wanted more for my son and if it meant him not having Dom around then so be it I'd do that for him. And maybe when he's old enough to know what he wants then maybe he could find Dom build a relationship with him…maybe.
