He's My Boss

VII.

I walked in the door around 10 at night. I would've been gone earlier but Khalifa wanted his damn 6-pack. I had to go past the house to the liquor store for only 6 cans of nasty ass beer. He acts like he doesn't have a car. When I walked in the house it was dark. Like no lights. He must be out again. I sat his stuff on the kitchen counter and walked upstairs but as I got closer to the door I heard sounds. I think the fuck not you trick ass bitch! I know damn well he ain't got no hoe in my bed. Before I  knew it I was grabbing my 9 from the the linen closet. I cocked it back and opened the door.

"Dammit Zani!" Khalifa said turning the tv off and covering himself like I never seen it before. "Wassup wit you bustin' through the door like the fucking cops! I almost smoked yo crazy ass. Why you got my gun?"

I placed the gun on the dresser and sat on the end of the bed so I could take my heels off.

"Uh, I thought somebody broke in." I sighed.

"You thought somebody broke in and start watchin' flicks? You thought I was cheating on you didn't you? You can't let shit go can you?" He grabbed his Tommy Hilfiger underwear and put them on.

I jumped up. "Well can you blame me! You cheated on me twice and one being my best friend. So don't do that!"

"That was in the past you do to much." He went to the bathroom. "Let that shit go!"

I followed him. "How am I just gonna let that go! She was like my sister and you fucked her! And I ain't stupid, I see all these girls texting and calling yo phone Khalifa! Can you stop making me look stupid! Why you always giving these hoes yo fucking attention! You barely talk to me and if you do it's either because you hungry or horny that's it! You act like you don't care!"

He stood in the door way. "Can I take a piss without you bitchin'! We can talk about this later."

"No! I wanna talk now. Cause apparently you only listen to me when I'm yelling! You don't even know what's going on with me! I could be going through something and you wouldn't even know cause your never home! You never take the time outta your day to see if I'm okay! Do you even love me Khalifa?"

He tried to push past me. "Azani gon' wit that goofy shit. You know I do, why all of sudden you questioning me. You must be cheating!"

"Excuse me! I would never cheat on you. Even when we broke up I didn't talk to nobody unlike you, you was with most of the graduating class! What happened to you Khalifa? You never acted like this when we were younger!"

"Well we ain't younger. I'm just tryna provide for us. Period! You need to stop stressin' over what I'm doing." He grabbed a white t from the dresser.

A tear fell from my eye. "You know what Khalifa. Do you!"

Just as I was about to walk out, he grabbed my arm and pulled me on his lap.

"No, Khalifa get off me." I tried to get up but he pulled me down.

"Baby stop being so damn stubborn. You know I love you." He kissed my cheek.

"You don't act like it. You never show me attention!"

"I'm sorry baby, you know I gotta do what I gotta do to take care of us."

"I know but I told you I got us."

"Hell no! How does that sound? Why would I let my girl pay the bill? That's shit blackened."

"Okay I get that But I don't want you to throw your life away."

"I'm not, I just want to get us settled before I stop completely. I already have a couple jobs lined up."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me." I hugged him.

"It just didn't come up." He wrapped his arms around my waist.

I kissed him.

He laid back. "Finally damn!"

"Whatever." I giggled and we went back to kissing.

Ding ding

I looked over at the night stand to see of it was my phone. Khalifa's phone lit up and I saw 2 missed calls and a message from the same number.

Unknown Number

Khalifa when are you gonna pick up yo baby? She miss you. You told her you'll come see her today!😑😑😑😑

"Who the fuck is this and why is she asking you to come see your daughter?" I threw the phone at him and got up.

"Man I don't know who this is!"

"Apparently she know you! Why you always fucking up? You must gotta have me fucked up!" I picked up the nearest thing which was was plastic cup half full of something and threw it at him.

"What the fuck!" He jumped up. "You need to chill I don't even know how this is! She prolly just a fan."

"Fan of what? Drug dealers. You aways gotta fuck some shit up! I'm tired of you!"

"I ain't cheating and that ain't my baby! I ain't lying to you. Why don't you believe me."

"Cause your Khalifa that's why!" I grabbed my night gown and scarf. "Don't talk to me. Not like you not used to doing that!"

Before he could say some I grabbed my phone and and ran to the guest room. I'm so tired of his shit. Even tho I felt bad a little cause I do believe him but I can't keep forgiving him like this. This is the first time I actually snapped off like this. The quicker I go to sleep the faster I'll be out the house.
