"Where you been?" Riley asked as Xerxes walked back. She had her bags by the door and was sitting in the foyer with the twins in their car seats. X lifted an eyebrow as he looked at her shaking his head.

"We don't leave for another week, Ri. What's all this?"

"You're avoiding my fucking question, X," She said as she started smelling him. "Ri, what the fuck are you doing?" He said, pushing her back some. She was acting all weird and shit. X didn't like it.

"Answer my fucking question, Xerxes Adriel Kolher," Riley scold as she pushed her nail into his chest. Xerxes knew she was upset, but this was too much, and it wasn't her. He didn't want to fight with her, so he tried to walk away until she grabbed the back of his shirt.

"RILEY, WHAT THE FUCK! WHY ARE YOU ACTING ALL FUCKING CRAZY AND SHIT? YOU KNOW WHERE I WAS AT! I TEXTED YOU AND CALLING YOUR ASS AND DIDN'T ANSWER! SO, DON'T BE ASKING DUMBING ASS QUESTIONS THEN SMELLING ME LIKE I WAS ON A BITCH OR SOMETHING!"

Xerxes pulled away from Riley, walking away, stopping to pick up his children's seats. He couldn't believe they were still sleeping after all his yelling, and like he said, he wasn't about to argue with Riley. Her hormones were still all over the place and hard to deal with.

"HEY, DON'T YOU FUCKING WALK AWAY FROM ME!" She yelled as Mariah came from the living room with Melody behind her. Both quickly remove the seats from his hands.

"Big bro, calm your wife down, please. You two don't need this now right now... Do you want me to call Dad?"

"NO! Have you lost your mind? Just take them to the nursery, please," Xerxes sigh, watching as the two walked away before turning back to Riley. He stared at her for a moment, then walked into the kitchen.

"I'm going to Spain with or without you. You're being a fucking pussy wanting plan shit you sound like our parents––"

"You're not going anywhere, Riley, but up the fucking stairs and to bed," He said as she stepped her short ass in front of him. X let out a long sigh running his hands through his hair.

"Riley, please. I'm tired, okay. I don't have the time or the energy to argue with you tonight. I talked to our parents and the rest. We have a plan, and that is what we are following."

"HOW YOU GONNA PLAN SHIT WITHOUT ME! YOU'RE SHIT X! I AM YOUR FUCKING DONNA! YOU AIN'T––"

"I AM YOUR FUCKING DON! WHAT I FUCKING SAYS GOES! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT MY FACE BEFORE I DO SOMETHING I REGET RILEY! I'M DONE I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT!"

Riley stood back, looking at him for a moment as she picked up the first thing she saw throwing at him. "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FUCKING HIT ME!? NIGGA I'M NOT FUCKING MARIAH. I WILL FIGHT YOUR ASS BACK! TRY ME BITCH!"

Before X knew, he had her by the neck, forcing her over the stool, smacking her ass hard as he could. "AHH! THE FUCK X!"

"I'm not going to beat you, but I'm going to show you who the fuck in charge, Riley," He said, jerking down her legging smacking her ass again.

The scream this time was mixed with a moan making him smirk, but the next one wasn't so kind.

"I'm tired of the bullshit, Riley. I told you we would get the bastard. That is what I meant—got damnit. We have two different threats coming at us at one time. Without a plan, we will be the ones with bodies burying more love ones, not them," He said, smacking her one more time.

"Fuck me."

"I'm not fucking you, Riley. You still have another two weeks," Xerxes said, giving her another hit just to watch her ass shake. As he let his finger brush across her clit, making her moan.
