"Can you stop please?" Crystal begged grabbing my arm.
I ignored her cries as I continued yanking her clothes out of my closet.
I can't believe she had the nerve to bring that nigga back into my house. We we've doing so good and now this. It seems like we just can't get it right. I don't know what her and Shemar's past is and I really don't care. But what I do know is she had another man in my house after we'd established that he wasn't welcomed.
"Crystal I don't know what kind of games you think you finna play but you can play them on somebody else." I said shoving her stuff down in tote.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" She said grabbing onto my arm.
"Let me go." I said trying to move to the closet. "Why would you think it's okay to bring him back into my place/" I ask her.
She let go of my arms and shrugged. "I don't know.. I was just upset-"
"Upset? Is that a reason for you to disrespect me like that?" I ask her.
"No its not." She said shaking her head. "But I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you. I promise." She said softly.
In hindsight, putting her out is a bit of a stretch. Especially since I've done way worse things to her. But I cannot tolerate blatant disrespect. I haven't done anything to her since we've been official. I thought we were working on ourselves and getting better for our relationship.
"I'm really sorry." She repeated. "Can we sit down and talk?" She asked me.
I looked at the small remainder of clothing she had in my closet and sighed deeply. I threw that hanger that was in my hand onto the floor and backed away from the closet.
"Talk." I demanded.
Crystal looked around nervously before taking a deep breath.
"I-I um, I was upset because I felt like you were putting work before me and meeting my parents. It's like you don't wanna meet them, you don't care." Crystal expressed herself.
"Crystal I do care. But I also have to work." I remind her. "We're about to have three kids, not to mention I already have one." I say shaking my head.
"And I know that but I want to be here with you! I get so lonely when you're gone." She confessed grabbing my hands.
"So do I have to worry about you cheating?" I ask crossing my arms.
She smacked her lips and sat down on the bed.
"I would never cheat on you-- that's the difference between the two of us." She mumbled. "You get to do whatever you want but the one time I did something a little stupid you want to put me out? Do I mean that little to you?" She asked in disbelief.
