I automatically went back home after Mari called me. I knew that after the first blog post she was going to be a little off. She was aware that the social media shit didn't make a difference to me. I mean social media doesn't make my money or pay my bills like some. Instagram and Twitter are purely for fun.

When I pulled up at home I took my time making my way upstairs. I tried to play out how this would play out. I could tell from the phone call that she was up set and that she may have already called her home girl. She may bring up her baby's father which will be the first thing to complete send me over the edge.

"Baby." I said loud enough for her to hear me as I walked in.

"Shit just keeps getting worse." She said with her phone in her hand. She paced in the kitchen before meeting me closer to the door way.

"You have to tune this shit out. This is supposed to be my me of the best times in our relationship." I said trying to take her into my arms.

"It would be if my baby's father wasn't such a bitch. Don't get me started on your baby's mother." She said making me laugh.

"That hoe... Yani leaked those fucking pictures."

"Amari how the fuck is that possible?" I asked thinking that her words were a little far fetched. She paced around the apartment before taking a break to look at her phone. I had been home all of 30 seconds and her phone received at least 60 notifications.

"How?" She said taking a deep breath. These twins were really kicking her ass and there was nothing I could do about it. The added stress was definitely contributing to her discomfort.

"Exactly how is it possible that the pictures that we took were stolen. Less than 24 hours and they were stolen." She said visibly irate.

"So you are saying Yani had Myra stole the pictures and sent them to this blog?" I asked still trying to see where she was coming from. To me, it didn't matter because I had nothing to hide.

"She has done more with less." She shot back.

"What can we do about it. You are going to have the babies at some point..."

"What does that mean?" She said crossing her arms.

"It wasn't going to be a secret forever. I'll handle my Yani." I raised my voice.

"You'll always fucking handle her!"

"I don't know what the fuck else you want me to do. We are together but it seems like the shit is embarrassing to you and I'm over it. Amari you do what the fuck you want to do and let me know!" I shouted folding my hands a cross my chest.

"I want you to take this seriously! They haven't been posted but if we don't buy them back." She yelled back which started our screaming match.

"Take it seriously? You are too concerned with people not knowing we are together. I don't fucking care I love you! Wether you worked for my father or not! Fuck those blogs and who ever has anything to say about it. Fuck this." I said wiping my hands of the situation.

"What!" She said as I walked over to the elevator. She walked Away n my direction as soon as paused the button.

"When you figure out what the fuck you want and let me know. I don't have shit to hide." I said still having to get shit off my chest.

"You know... what where are you going to do what I ask you to marry me? Hmmm? How were you going to act then? I'm not dealing with this shit anymore. I'm going to take care of my kids and Ill let you have your reputation." I said calming down.

"Eric you my make it seem like I don't love you..."

"That's what it's falling down to. You care about how people view you. Not how I view you or even how you view yourself. I'll see you later man." I said stepping in to the elevator.

"Don't do this right now." She said standing in the elevator door.

"G's flight is tonight and I'll be taking her to the airport." I said looking past her. In all honesty it took everything in me keep my voice down. I waited for her to apologize but the time never came.

"Eric can we talk about it. You make it seem like you aren't coming back."

"We just talked Amari. You said what you had to say. You don't care about this..."

"You sound like you aren't coming back."

"I'm not. You don't care about us enough to say fuck everyone else. I said it once and I'll say it again, you aren't the only one who has something to lose." I said with my back on the elevator as she stood in the door.

"This shit is draining." I said now maintaining eye contact. I could see that she knew I was serious.

"I don't want you to leave. We can figure this out." She said walking closer to me.

"I need you to stop let the door close. You are the one with someone to figure out. I just told you what the issue is and you refuse to address it. I'm tired." She was confused but I had nothing left to say. If I continued I would do more than hurt her feelings.

"Eric I know how messy shit like this can get and I just don't want us to... I'm fine with people coming at me on the internet but not you. Maybe I wasn't articulating me feelings enough. My anger my be misplaced but for her to go to these lengths, to leak pictures..." she paused giving me space to chime in.

"I'll buy them back. That's what's I important. It's clear because you barley acknowledge what I just said and what I've been saying for a while. You never said do you love me too or anything to make this better. I'll buy them back." I said before reaching past her and pressing the open door button on the elevator. I wanted her to turn around and walk away but when she didn't I walked past her and out of the front door of my apartment.

"Where are you going?! Hadiya in town?" She asked now screaming.

"Maybe I should check and see." I said just to piss her off. In reality she could be here in two hours.

"Are you fucking serious?" She said pushing me as I walked down the hallway.

"Take your frustration out on something else. I'm not doing this with you. Call me when you can say what you mean and mean what you say."
