Khana

Every single time I bring my daughter over here it's the same issue. Justine has yet again started some mess that I have no time for. This woman does not know me like that to be trying to tell me how to parent my kid. Case and point the reason why she is fussing right now is because I am not staying at home to watch my child breathe.

Justine: Why can't she stay home Jesse?!  Huh?! Is she too busy doing a man's job?!

Khana: Since when has being a CEO been a male only job Justine?

Justine: I am just saying that you could spend a little less time running around doing whatever it is you do in that little company of yours and take care of my son and grand daughter. Maybe you could have another child if you do that.

Every fiber of my being wanted to jump over Jesse and Knock Fire out of that woman. But I stood quietly behind Jesse with a smile on my face. My hands were gripping the crap out of his.  I know she wanted me to act out and try to hurt her ( like I wanted to) but I won't . A lady should never let someone make her act out of character, not even her mother in law.

Jesse: Mama stop always coming for my wife. You should be happy that I'm alive. Not yelling and carrying on. Stop hating because she's a business woman and not a housewife. God didn't create her to be one. so stop trying to turn her into one.

Justine looked like she was about to faint like those women in the old black and white movies.  Jesse finally stood up to his mama. Only problem is.... He isn't calm yet. Ok Khana think. how do I get out of this before he ......

Jesse: Let's go.

Jesse's POV.

This girl has lost her Eva lovin' mind. Oooo that girl drives me crazy. I can't seem to catch a break when I'm around her. She always finds away to get me amped up. I love my mama but I love Khana too. Lord please give me peace of mind.

Once we got home I threw my keys in the bowl and locked the door.

Jesse: *calmly* what were you thinking?

Khana : I was standing up for myself unlike you. What? did mommy finally go too far for you to finally grow a pair?

I know that this heifa didn't.

Jesse: look! Don't go there aight?! At least I know how to respect people.

Khana: And What do you mean by that?

Jesse: you kept it going. All you had to do was be quiet and I would have handled it. But no! You just HAD to stoop to her level and argue.

Khana: Wow. Why can't you just be on my side huh?!? It's always something. I can't cook as good as her. I don't clean as good as her. Im bigger than she is. News flash I'M NOT HER! stop expecting me to be her or any other woman for that matter.

Jesse: I'm always there for you! The only time you are there for me is when it benefits you. When I woke up in the hospital and saw that you were there I was surprised. You've never done that before. I almost died. It's always Khana comes first. Never has it been "Jesse is there something wrong?" Or " Jesse  I believe in you". Not once. I stopped the argument because I was tired of her not because of you. In a way she was right. You are always choosing work over your family.

Khana: do you ever stop and think that I want to be home? I would rather be here with my husband and baby than at the office editing or budgeting or conducting meetings. I was worried sick about you that's why I was at the hospital. I love you more than life. Why wouldn't I come to you when you need me?

I pinched the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes. Is she serious right now? I can't let her see that I'm on to her though.

Jesse: listen I don't want to argue with you. I love you. Next time just listen to me. We will get through all of this. Please forgive me ok?

Khana: Ok, and I'm sorry to for Everything that I said. It wasn't my intention to disrespect you or neglect our family.

I walked over to where she was standing. Lightly placing my hand on her neck I tilted her head back and kissed her lips. She grabbed at my shirt trying to lift it up but I stopped her.

Jesse: Uh uh. Let me show you something.

I sat her down on the couch and unzipped her jump suit.

Jesse: Take this off .

She slipped out of her clothes and I went to work.
