"What the hell was that about?" Dawn asked Anthony as they got in her apartment. The whole car ride home was silent. She knew something was off because he was on his phone the entire ride and not once uttered a word. "Are you going to answer me?"

Anthony shook his head and walked off. "Nothing to talk about." He dryly replied and sat on the couch. Dawn walked over and stood in front of him with her arms folded across her chest. Anthony ignored her and continued to go through his phone.

He was partially the blame for Christian not being there for Moniece and it was killing him. He shouldn't have involved him in his own devilish agendas. Had it been flipped and he wasn't there for Dawn he would blame Christian. He understood where he was coming from when he snapped.

Dawn walked to the kitchen and started dinner. She had a lot on her mind such as going to see her father for the first time in years tomorrow, Moniece having a miscarriage, the drama with her brother, and now Anthony acting sneaky. She didn't understand why he had to lie or hide from her.

Anthony walked into the bedroom as a phone call came in. Dawn wanted to hear the conversation but she just let it go. She didn't want to be the type of female that snooped and couldn't trust her man so easily.

"How she feeling?" Anthony asked coming back out of the bedroom. He had changed into something more comfortable. "Man I know. You can blame me for that. Nah, but had I known what was up from jump I wouldn't have asked you to do shit. This shit heavy on my conscious man."

Dawn rolled her eyes and fixed a plate going into her art room. She was highly stressed and needed to be in an environment that helped relieve that stress. From Anthony having a maybe baby with someone else to everything else she was at her wit ends.

Finishing up her pasta she removed her shoes and sweater. Dawn put her hair into a pony tail and added paint to her palette. She needed to finish the painting she was working on the other day.

Anthony had just finished his phone call with Christian. He was trying to wrap his head around things. Anthony desperately wanted to get revenge but he was starting to notice how it just didn't mix with his current lifestyle. He sat and sulked for a while and then finally got up to find Dawn.

Walking into the kitchen she noticed that she had cooked. He searched both of the bedrooms in the apartment and finally realized that she had to be in her art room.

"You ate without me?" Anthony asked Dawn seeing the plate on her desk. She simply nodded and continued to paint. She was in a zone and Anthony wasn't going to mess it up for her. "Can we talk?"

"I'm busy right now. When I wanted to talk you didn't have anything to say. So no you can wait till I'm ready to talk again. Everything is not on your time Anthony." She sighed. Anthony nodded his head not about to argue. The whole situation was childish to him so he decided to eat and call it a night.

Dawn finished the midsection of her painting and decided to call it a night. She had spent three hours working on it and needed a shower and sleep. Anthony was knocked out in bed with no care in the world. She was frustrated to say the least and instead of waking him up to bitch she decided to just take a shower and go to bed.

Moniece had crossed her mind again as she was putting on her sleepwear. She picked up her phone and called her just to make sure she was fine.

"Hello" A groggily Moniece answered.
