"Yall are embarrassing me" Destiny said as she pushed the cart. Ja'rod, Destiny and Kaiser were at target shopping.
"Put up yo' set lil bro" ja'rod said putting his fists up.
"Do you need some more lotion?" She asked.
A few seconds pasted and she still didn't get an answer causing her to look towards the father and son seeing them play fighting.
She shook her head before mumbling to herself, "I need some more"
"DESSYYY HELPPPP!" Kaiser screamed causing Destiny's head to snap towards the two-year-old, only to see him getting tossed in the air by his father.
"Can yall please stop?, we need to get this done"
Ja'rod placed Kaiser on his feet before grabbing his hand and walking towards Destiny.
"Why you so uptight right now?" He whispered in her neck before kissing it.
Destiny sighed, "I'm not and as much as I love seeing you in dad mode, yall are just making me lose focus"
"Igh we can be more serious" he spoke before looking down at Kaiser, "right?"
"Yea!"
"Aight" he picked up Kaiser and put him in the big part of the cart, "stay in here"
"Okay" Kaiser replied.
Destiny kissed her boyfriend's lips, "thank you baby"
"It's whatever" he shrugged as they began walking.
"Oh sorry" Destiny said as she hit someone with the cart.
"No you're go—" the woman paused before realizing who hit her, "jeezy?"
Ja'rod looked up from his phone, remembering the woman who stood in front of them, "oh—wassup"
"Nothing" the lady looked at Destiny before looking at ja'rod, "so how you been?"
"I been aight" he cleared his throat before looking down at Destiny's face that was written with irritation.
"Cool"
"This my lady, Destiny" he spoke.
"Oh hi" the woman said.
Destiny chuckled to herself before speaking, "how do you two know each other?"
"Oh I'm a dancer—my stage name's babydoll"
"A dancer?" Destiny repeated looking up at ja'rod, "oh really?"
"Yea, we meet at his place of business a few months ago and I gave him my number" babydoll explained.
Ja'rod clenched his eyes shut at the fact that babydoll was spilling all the details on how they met in front of Kaiser and Destiny.
"You have her number?" Destiny asked ja'rod.
"She blocked" he spoke, "we gotta go now"
"Okay—bye jeezy"
The couple walked to the checkout in complete silence. Ja'rod knew it looked bad but he didn't know where to start.
"It was before we met" he uttered.
"I don't care, you still have her number" she said with attitude as she loaded up the items on the conveyor belt.
"I didn't even text her"
"Ja'rod I literally do not care" she said before taking Kaiser out of the cart, "come on Kaiser, let your daddy handle this"
Ja'rod watched as they walked out of the store before shaking his head.

5:39 pm
"You aight?" Ja'rod asked Destiny as she laid across his bed.
She sniffled before responding, "I'm fine"
Ja'rod walked further into the room "You cryin'?"
"No?"
"Sit up" he spoke standing in front of the bed.
"Unt unt" she mumbled.
"Destiny get the fuck up" he demanded causing her to slowly sit up, "why you cryin' beautiful?"
That made Destiny cry more, "It's nothing important, forget about it"
Ja'rod softly grabbed Destiny's chin causing her to look up, "stop playing and talk ta' me"
Destiny let out a breath before speaking, "a-are you cheating on me?"
Ja'rod scrunched up his face before letting her chin go, "the fuck?—what are you talking about bruh?"
"Why would you have a strippers number then?"
"You still on this?" He asked.
"Yes I'm still on this"
"I told you it was before we got together and I blocked ha'" he defended.
"So if I got a nigga's number and didn't tell you about it, you wouldn't feel any type of way?"
"No cause the fuck ass nigga would be dead" ja'rod shrugged.
Destiny shook her head, "I've been cheated on before and I'm not putting myself through that again, so if you don't want to be with me then go"
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He questioned, "everytime we get into it, you always ready ta' go"
"Ja'rod I just want you to be honest with me—I don't want to fucking leave you, I'm protecting myself!"
"Keep yo' voice down while my son in da' house" he spoke before wiping a hand down his face, "how many times do I gotta tell yo' ass that youn gotta protect yourself from me"
"If anything I should be protecting myself from you cause you sabotage everything we're trying to build" he added.
"I'm not fucking cheating on you" he said before leaving out the room and slamming the door.
Destiny sighed to herself before leaving the room. She walked into the living room seeing ja'rod on the phone. She walked up to him and hugged him from behind.
"Hold on" he said before taking his phone off his ear, "get off me bruh"
"No" she shook her head, "I'm sorry and I love you"
"Destiny I'm not gon' tell you again—get the fuck off me" he spoke with aggression causing her to let go.
She went back inside of his bedroom and waited for him to come back. As soon as the door opened he spoke.
"I think you need to go back to therapy"
"What?"
