Our Father: AD3: 'Pursuing Destiny'

26: *Suspicions*

April Alexis Alsina: Thursday 4th December:

"You're so fucking annoying Devin!" I groaned with a huff as I headed up to our bedroom, closing the door behind me. His reply was muffled as he was all the way downstairs. If he'd just taken my car to the mechanics like I'd asked, then we wouldn't have this problem right now.

I could hear his footsteps ascending the staircase as he neared our bedroom and walked in.

"You for real need to stop all this petty madness. Acting like I can't just take it anther damn time." He huffed as he walked into our en-suite bathroom.

"But I asked you to take it today so that I could get to work but you wanted to ignore me as usual when I was speaking!" I retorted.

"Get to work, my ass. I told you I'on want you working right now-"

"How else are we supposed to keep up with bills? Both of us need to be working to keep living the way we are." I said.

"I can handle that shit myself!" He replied in an annoyed tone which I chose not to reply to. This is exactly what Ma'Lee meant when she warned me that men strive to be dominant bread-winners.

The shower switched on from the bathroom and I sighed as I rested myself on our bed.

Devin and I's petty arguments are beginning to take a toll on me and he's honestly starting to get on my damn mother-fucking nerves.

I picked my phone up off my dresser and began to scroll through my social medias. I'd been getting repetitive DM's from one woman in particular who I didn't know so I decided to check them. Usually when I got DM's from women, they were to ask about my father, my brother or they were lesbians who wanted to get something going between us.

@AngelKeana: -Hi, April Alsina, I'm sure you don't know too much about me but I do have relations to Devin... your man.

I rose a weary eyebrow at my phone screen and looked towards the bathroom before looking back at my phone.

@JustAprilx -How do you know him?

She was quick to reply which almost startled me as it'd barely been a millisecond.

@AngelKeana- I have a 7 year old daughter named Christie,

I rolled my eyes at this thinking that this whole conversation would only be worthless.

@JustAprilx -Okay... And what does this have to do with me or Devin?

@AngelKeana- My daughter's father is Devin and right now I'm struggling financially and I need child support from him. He hasn't been answering my messages so I thought I'd come to you in order to get to him.

My phone slipped from my fingers and my eyebrow rose even more.

@JustAprilx- I just think it's pathetic how street hoes would do anything to break a couple up.

@AngelKeana- If we could meet up in a public area some time soon, I'm willing to talk in depth about this. I don't think ur understanding the extent of this.

I scoffed at her message, locked my phone and chucked it beside me with a sigh as I looked up at the ceiling. I looked towards the bathroom door which was shut, the shower still sounding against the wall. Whatever this heifer was saying couldn't be true. But, then again, why would somebody just pop up out of the blue asking for child support?

I thought in depth for about 5 minutes before getting up from the bed and walking back and forth just waiting for him to get out so that I could confront him. I tapped the tips of my fingers on my thighs as I walked towards our bed, and then away from it repeatedly.
