Love And War: A Thug's Dark Paradise

Two

The car ride home was a dead silence. The radio was off, the kids and they uncles were sleep, and Sutton has earphones in tuning me out. When I noticed that I got pissed and reached over snatching them out of her ears.

"If you wanna ignore somebody you better do it naturally, cuz that shit gone get you cursed out." I said to her my eyes still on the road.

"Motherf.uckah I know damn well you didn't just snatch s.hit out of my ears." she said and I could feel her glaring.

"All I know is you better chill the f.uck out before you wake my kids up."

"Your kids? You say it like I didn't carry all three of them for nine months, go through labor for a minimum of twelve hours and push them out. Don't get smart with me,Arnez I'm not the f.ucking one and you ain't got no kind of rights to do so." she said. I pulled the car over mad as hell and opened the door and got out. I walked around to her side and pulled her ass out. See, she playing, she gone make me go into to thug mode, make me turn into Killa mode, and we both going to be looking at each other crazy for a few days when that happens.

"You need to chill the f.uck out talking to me like you crazy. I got every damn right to do whatever the hell I want,to any and everybody I want."

"I wanna know since when have I been any and everybody! I'm not, I'm your goddamn wife, don't treat me as anything less! I'm not the one hiding shit about keeping tabs on people."

"Since when the fūck have I had to report to you! I can keep tabs on my damn son if I want to Sutton!" I yelled out and she pushed me backwards.

"Don't get FŪCKING LOUD MOTHERFVCKER! I DIDNT SAY YOU COULDN'T! AND DON'T GET SMART, REDDING BECAUSE IM NOT THE FVCKING ONE! You could've told me, I wouldn't have asked any damn questions because that's your son and you have the right to know if he's okay. I understand that. And don't get live and shit talking bout since when have you had to report to me because you ain't got to, but just know if you wanna hide shit don't get mad if the tables get turned!" she said and I banged my fist on the railing beside us and walking up to her.

"Girl, Don't FŪCKING PLAY WITH ME! I wish you would so some shit like that! I will kill you and the next damn nigha!"

"Who said shit about cheating Arnez?! huh? Is there something else you wanna tell me!" she yelled out.

"Don't play stupid, Sutton, I ain't like that so don't try and put that shit on me like that. You the one probably cheating and shit! You wanna tell ME something?!" I said inching closer on her.
See this is making me mad as hell.

And then she smacked me and I heard it before I really felt it.

"Don't you EVER IN YOUR LIFE say shit like that to me!" She yelled and I saw a slight dampness in her eye.

The door burst open and Mike and Javan came climbing out wide eye and stepping between us.

"Both of y'all need to chill the fūck out," Mike started.

"This is why I told you to tell her. And don't interrupt me. This is petty as shit. You know she right, she is your damn wife and y'all have been together for over ten years in total, don't mess around and screw it up right now. Not when we need to be strong and getting ready." he said stern and I leaned against the road railing and Sutton leaning on the car.

"And Sutton, don't push him like that. I know you hurt but doing that ain't gone make nothing better. Don't do stuff you know gone set his ass off just because you mad. Both of y'all need to chill out, like on some real ass shit." Javan came in.Sutton just shook her head.

"Take me home. Mike drive and I'll sit in the back with Javan." she said taking a deep breath and she pushed off. I went to take her hand and she held her hand out for me to stop so I did, shaking my head, too. She got in the car and I ran my hand through my hair.
