Finding Joy

Chapter 45

"What Devin." I answered my phone irritated.

Every since last night when Erin and I went to the club and Devin found out about it he's been over me like a hawk.

"Good Afternoon to you too damn." He said.

I rolled my eyes. "What you want?" I asked him.

"I want to know why you acting like that." He stated.

"Because you decided to show your ass last night by putting me in a compromising spot. I'm pissed with you and I don't want to talk." I said.

"How I put you in a compromising spot?" He asked.

"You cornering me last night wasn't cool because we got nothing resolved Devin." I said feeling like I wanted to cry.

He sucked his teeth. "You know how I am when you start crying bae. Stop." He said

"You really put me in a bad head space last night. I couldn't even enjoy myself because of everything that happened. I don't want to fight with you two days before we get married. We supposed to be blissful. " I pouted.

"I'm sorry. Listen, how about you sneak away from them for two or three hours and we talk. No funny business. no sex." He said.

"I don't want to see you right now Devin" I said

"So how we supposed to fix this?" He asked.

"We can talk on the phone." I said.

"I need to see you baby." He said.

"FaceTime then." I told him not taking no for an answer.

"Alright." He said and hung up.

He called back, this time face timing.

"You look beautiful." He said

"Mmhm whatever." I said.

"I'm sorry Lauren just hearing you say all of that rah rah shit made me mad. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said.

"It's not even only that. You stayed outside with that girl. She's not your wife. I am you should have been making sure I was okay." I said.

"Baby you're right and I apologize for that but when I saw her hit the ground I was thinking about if she was good enough to leave. Nothing else. I don't need you in no jail." He said.

"Then you got all upset with me, like I was in the wrong too. I just ugh. You make me so mad." I said annoyed.

"I only got upset because you let her get to you. I feel like in all honesty she shouldn't have been able to take you to that place because what we have, our love is good and now we sitting here allowing an outsider to get in between us never mind the fact that you questioned my abilities to do what's right by our family as a man." He said clenching his jaw for that.

"I can honestly understand why you could be upset with the fighting but I was just defending us. I feel like as your wife, that's what I'm suppose to do." I said. "I'm sorry for doubting you as a man. That was completely out of place and I shouldn't have done that because you are a great provided and head of our family, I jut feel like sometimes you should listen to me and do what I think is best." I said causing him to laugh.

"It's cool and believe it or not I listen when you talk to me but it can't be an ultimatum given. I apologize for upsetting you too babe." He said looking at me through the camera.

"And don't threaten me with sex and punishments it's honestly just not fair because you know how my body is gonna react and just like last night, we won't get anything resolved." I said.
