Ali - I'm serious! Demetrius are you
playing?

Demetrius - No, I'm not!

Ali - Alright then, you said 2:00?

Demetrius - Yea, around that time!

Ali - Okay, Mommy is going back to work.

Demetrius - Okay, bye.

Ali - Bye.

...

The next day.

This nigga think he gon cheat on me well we'll just see about that!!

Michael - Ali.

Ali - Henry, I told you to ask Malaysia!

Michael - Oh, no im not Henry!

Ali - What?

She turned her head to see Michael staring at her. Hard.

Michael - You miss me?

Ali - You wish! How about you scatter off and try to rape another woman.

Michael - I didn't try to rape you, I thought that is what you wanted!

Ali - Pshh, Well did you at least ask me?

Michael - Um...

Ali - No, that's what I thought! You are low down and dirty. And if you don't stop talking to me I will notify chiefs about this fiasco.

Michael - Ok, fine. I'll leave you alone, but for now. (Winks).

Ali - (Whispers) You need help.

I looked at the time. 1:50.
I packed up all my supplies I brung for work today. Grabbed my keys and my purse and was determined to catch Quan in his act. But honestly had hope that Demetrius was just lying so he could get back at Quan.

I had approached my home. I open the door. Dj was right the music was blasting in here. But in between those long beats of bass. You had heard noises, noises that didn't belong in a hip hop song. What the fck?

I started walking towards our bedroom door. The sounds became louder.

?? - Quan!!

Tears fled. I walked closer to the door. And there was a pause. I saw a horrible scene. There on the bed. Was my husband fucking our nanny/babysitter. Like why? Priscilla was married and had kids. She wasn't even pretty as me. I'm fucking gorgeous he had all this! Did she put up with you and took your shit. Did she fucking carrying your child. Nahh, she didn't but you got some nerve to be home everyday just to get sex or neck from Priscilla. That's why he had all those late nights because in the day you'll be to occupied. Hell, you might be Fcking yo assistant too.

She backed away from the door slowly. She didn't want to disturb the two lovebirds. She went to her car and went back to work. Scheming up a plan.

...

Quan - Good Morning Beautiful (Wraps arm around her)

Ali - Good Morning...

Quan - You excited for today?

Ali - Yeah...

Quan - Was wrong with you, baby?

Ali - Oh, nothing.

Quan - Did I do something?

Ali - (Laughs) no!

Quan - Baby?

Ali - Do me a favor please?

Quan - Wassup baby?

Ali - Don't call me baby!

Quan - You pregnant?

Ali - No, how?

Quan - Come on!

Ali - No you come on! We haven't had sex in months!

Quan - (Coughs).

Ali - Mhmm.

Quan - What?

Ali - Where is Priscilla?

Quan - How am I supposed to know?

Ali - Well you should know if you constantly fucking her!

Quan - (Chokes for a minute).

Ali - Didn't think I would find out, huh?

Quan - I'm sorry.

Ali - Sorry? Jaquan, I gave you my whole life, and gave you all the love I couldn't even give myself. What the fuck is wrong with you. I gave you your first child. Maybe I'm not as innocent but the person came onto me and after that one time I never did it again, I felt guilty because I was in love with you. Ugh!!!!! (Starts crying)

Quan - Baby, it was one time!

Ali - Stop lying, it was everyday this week. I caught y'all I didn't stop y'all I wanted to surprise yo ahh that I knew. And now I did. But honestly what did she give you that I couldn't?

Quan - Space for me!

Ali - Oh, come on. You knew I wasn't that kind to be a housewife. But I know you ain't talking bout space because last time I checked your the one who comes in at 4 am. It's the other way around, you ain't had time for me in yo supposedly busy schedule.

Quan - Baby, we can work this out.

Ali - No, I'm sorry. This time I can't work nothing out. I tried I don't want this no more. I'm leaving. I want a divorce and I'm taking Emanuel and Demetrius. Until you grow up and can take responsibility. You should've just stayed with Nicole.

Quan - Ali, I love you. Maybe I was forgotten of what I have but please don't leave at least us can separate until I own up to my words. Baby, please. (Tears fall)

Ali - I'll have all of stuff out of here by the end of the week. Goodbye Jaquan.
