83| What about?

Azuree's POV

Darryl and I are watching episodes of Modern family on Hulu. Since I'm not in college, we started seeing each other more often. In the middle of the episode his phone started buzzing, like people were texting him. Out the corner of my eye I saw him check his phone. He then started smiling and I looked at him. He turned his phone off and put it away.

"Uhh who is texting you?"

"Nobody, just the boys..." How you gonna say nobody then say the boys?

"Okay well I'm about to leave."

"All because I said I'm texting the boys?"

"No because you're lying." I said and got up. I put on my sweater and then my shoes.

"Nobody is messing around on you." He got up from the couch and followed behind me.

"I didn't say that, you did." I grabbed my keys and just as I were about to leave he grabbed my arm.

"D, let me go."

"Dang Zee what's the matter with you?"

"You. I came here to spend time with you before I go back to film and you have been on your phone and checking it since I got here. I didn't come here to watch you or be all in your face."

I explained to him and he still had a grip on my arm. I'm not about to do this with him today. Lately he has been all up in his phone and not paying me any mind. I'm not saying that he can't have a life outside of me but when I'm with him I expect him to spend time with me. Give me his undivided attention.

"You tripping for no reason."

"Am I? And let me go." Darryl gripped my arm tighter and I winced.

"Stop!" He let go of my arm and slapped me. This nigga just slapped me! I held my face as tears clouded my eyes. I saw him back away from me and he covered his mouth in shock.

"Azuree—"

"Save it!"

"Baby please don't leave me." He begged and I shook my head. I opened the door and headed to my car. I started my car and quickly left his house. I called Skai and she answered on the first ring.

"Where's mommy and momma?"

"I'm—"

"You're next to them?"

"Yeah we're watching Lovely Bones. What happened? You sound like you were crying."

"Don't make a scene but he hit me." I said and sniffled.

"He did what?! Kyla that's crazy." I heard her say.

"I don't want them to see me so I'm going through the back. Can you come? Act like you're letting the dogs out or something."

"Okay, bye Kyla." I hung up the phone and a few minutes later I was at my house. I parked my car and quietly closed the door. I went through the back and saw the dogs along with Skai. They barked loudly and I quickly shushed them. I sped inside and was about to head up the back stairs when I heard my mother's voice.

"Skai you want some more popcorn?" I bent down behind the island table so she wouldn't see me. Skai stood behind me and secretly pushed me.

"Uhh no thank you." I silently crawled up the stairs and got into my room. My phone buzzed and I looked at it.

Luv 💙- I'm sorry Azuree for putting my hands on you baby. I'm really sorry, it won't happen again. I was just really angry and I took it out on you. I hope you can forgive me.
