The next morning:

I woke up the next morning and all I could see was red. My heart was beating so fast that I felt like it was about to jump out of my chest. Celeste and the kids slept through the night while I stayed up. I couldn't sleep. I was too angry. All I knew was this; I wanted to put hands and feet on somebody.
Anyway, I was packing all of our things when Celeste woke up. "Good morning!" She says, tiredly. I smiled from ear to ear. Then, I leaned over and kissed her forehead. I really loved this woman. "Good morning, baby. How you feeling?" I said, sitting on the edge of the bed. My wife let out a big sigh. "I'm okay. I just wanna go home." She tells me. I reach for her hand and massage her palm. "I know, baby. And we going home." I promised her.
"Y'all leaving?" My sister says, watching us load up the car. "Yeah, we can't stay here anymore." I said. "Why? I thought y'all wasn't leaving for another 3 days." Tamia said. I look over at my wife, then back at my sister. "Your husband's a fucking creep and he tried to kiss my wife last night." I said bluntly. I closed the truck and made my way to the drivers side. My sister was speechless.
"I feel so bad." Celeste says. "About what, babe?" I asked. "About cutting our little vacation short. We have to plan something special for the kids soon." My wife explained to me. "Baby, you were..." I lowered my voice so that the kids couldn't hear me. "Sexually assaulted last night. It's not your fault. But yeah, we can plan something else for the kids. Most definitely!" I tell her. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Did I mention how much I loved this woman?
When we got home, it was almost 7 PM. Celeste took the kids inside and I grabbed all of our things. We were all hungry so I ordered pizza. "Did they say what time the pizza should be ready?" Celeste says, joining me on the couch. "The guy on the phone said it should be ready in about 45 minutes." I said. I kissed my wife's forehead as she rested her head on my shoulder. KJ and Kaiden were in their room and Kaia was chilling in the living room with us, playing with her toys.
Celeste and I were in our bedroom, watching a movie on Netflix when my phone rang. My sister Tamia was calling me. Celeste paused the tv. "Wassup, T?" I said. "So, I talked to Jamal and he said that Celeste was tryna come onto him." My big sister tells me. I let out a sigh. "That's what he told you?" I said.
I was in no mood to be dealing with my sister and her husband. I may not have been around when the shit happened and I wish I was, but I know my wife would never lie to me. Especially about something like this. It took everything in me to not knock that niggas head off the minute Celeste first told me.
"Yes." Tamia says. "So, what are you tryna say?" I asked. "Your wife is a liar and a whore." My sister tells me. "Hold up. Cause what you not gonna do is disrespect my wife. Nope! Not going for that." I said, getting mad all over again. "It's not disrespect if it's the truth! Jamal said that Celeste forced herself on him." My sister says. I laughed. "And you believed him? Like a damn dummy. Let me hang up this phone before I say something I'll regret. Tell your husband the next time I see him it's on sight." I said. Before I gave my sister the chance to say anything, I hung up.
