"Look Mona, I'm just still not seeing it... I guess." I shrugged as we sat on the porch talking. Trenton and Donna were out with some of their friends and Angelique was at 'work'.
"Either that or you're heavily in denial my friend." She shrugged.
"Look, it's probably all a misunderstanding." I shrugged. I didn't believe the words I was speaking. Angelique had been such a different person recently... eager to go to work, eager to get back in, taking all these extra shifts but coming home looking like she'd barely done anything. I looked down.
"Do you mind if I show you something?" She said quietly.
"What?" I asked. He pulled out her phone and pulled up a 15 minute video. "What is this, a damn lecture video?"
"No Kee, just watch." She said. The video showed the side of my house from a distanced view.
"Yo, you've been video tap--"
"Shhhh it's not as creepy as you think. I had a feeling you'd still be in denial so I got actual proof for you." She said. I continued to watch. the camera was aimed toward the kitchen window, where Angelique was cooking in a red satin robe, not tied up, with a red laced bra and panties under it with her hair down. Some guy walked in slowly with no shirt on. My blood began to boil.
"I know that's not her floor manager." I said. He hugged her from behind and kissed her, and she smiled like the happiest person in the world. I never realized how amazing of an actress she was until now.
"Um, I can stop now if you want." Mona began, seeing my stare. I shook my head. They goofed around then cuddled and made out on the couch, feeling all over each other. I felt nauseous, but continued to watch. Soon after, he carried her to the bedroom and slid between her legs. I inhaled deeply and shut it off. I put my face in my hands and breathed heavily.
"Look, Kyjuan calm down. I'm sorry I showed you that."
"You have nothing to be sorry for." I started, trying to not let my anger get out of control. I put my hands down. "Thank you, Mona. Really."
"Welcome." She responded quietly as Angelique pulled in. "Is she gonna get upset with me being here?"
"Who cares?" I chuckled. She looked at me, worried, knowing how my anger use to be. Chuckling was not a good sign.
Angelique got out of the car.
"Hey babe. I didn't realize you'd have company today. Yeah well I didn't know you'd have the same close company during times I was out handling business I thought.
"Yeah. Just chillin'." I said, twiddling my fingers.
"Yeah. Hey Mona." She said, nonchalantly. Mona looked her up and down and Angelique scowled. " Um, is there something wrong?"
"Ha. You tell me." She said.
"Excuse me?" Angelique rolled her neck.
"You're excused, hell." Mona said.
"Alright boujie thot, you can get off of my porch." She said. Mona stood up and slowly walked toward her.
"Who are you calling a boujie thot?" Mona said.
"The person I'm looking at duh." Angelique said.
"No room for thot when you're throwing your pussy from the free throw line, neighborhood tramp." Mona laughed. Angelique scoffed and looked at me.
"Kyjuan! You're not gonna say anything?!" She asked. I shrugged. "Lord what is your fucking problem?!" She shrieked. "I knew y'all must've had something going on, you won't even stick up for me anymore! Now you see what I was afraid of, I knew how y'all were!"
"Us?" I chuckled. "We haven't done anything."
"Yeah right." She rolled her eyes as Mona looked her up and down. "Can you like, get out of my face?"
"I'm not in it I'm in front of it." Mona said in a matter-of-fact tone. I chuckled. As they argued and yelled at each other, I began to think back on everything. How stupid I was for not seeing it. I wondered how long it had been going on? Most of all, I felt the old me coming back.
My far off gaze ended up gazing down at Mona's ass in the tights she wore then I looked away as they began pushing each other.
"Hold on," I began and stood between them.
"Stop! You really think I'm gonna let this uppity, loose pussy nurse talk shit like she's about something? Move Kyjuan!" Mona shouted, trying to push me. I grabbed her wrists.
"Chill. I'll hit you up, okay?" I said. She sighed and nodded, then went back over to her house.
"You'll hit her up? Thought you didn't have her number." Angelique said, putting her hair behind her ear.
"Come on." I said, walking into the house. I sat on the couch and she closed the door behind her.
"Will you explain some shit to me? What's going on with you and her?" She said with her hands on her hips.
"I'll tell you if you tell me what's going on with you and your little manager." I sighed. She looked at me blankly.
"Nothing, it's just that, my floor manager."
" Look Ang it'll be a lot less stressful if you didn't continue to lie in my face, alright?"
"Don't skip over you and her, what's going on?"
"Absolutely nothing, she's a friend." I said, interlocking my fingers. "Now, do you want to continue lying?"
"I'm not." She said shakily.
"Bullshit!" I shouted and stood, hitting my fist to my palm. "I saw you... in your underwear.. more than once..in bed... he was here!"
"No!" She cried.
"Stop! He was... I know what I saw. Something's been wrong for months. All the dishes in the sink for supposedly one person in the house, how the bed would be messy on both sides when you usually make it right after you get out of it, the happiness and extra shifts after work," I began rubbing my temples and chuckling. "She saw you. You know if you're gonna be shady you should shut the blinds. She showed me you going upstairs in our room, in our bed with him! What the fuck Ang?" I said, voice shaking.
"I--I--"
"Nothing... how long?" I asked calmly.
"H-how long what?"
"How long have you been fucking him?!" I shouted. She flinched.
"A couple days." She said, crying.
"Stop it! It's been well over a couple of days I'm not fucking retarded." I shouted, walking toward her. She hid behind her face.
"10!" She cried.
"10? 10 what?!"
"10 months!" She said, full on crying. I stared at her, not believing what I was hearing. I relaxed and began laughing. I paced, and she stared.
"10 months. 10 of em. Not just a one night stand or, a simple fuck up but 10 months. Wow." I laughed. "You wanna know what's crazy? I had a feeling. A deep one. I just loved you so much, I became so naive. You really took the cake though. Living here must've really rubbed off on you it seems. He must've been better."
"No of course not." Her voice shook.
"Then why continue this shit for almost a year?" I laughed. She looked frightened. I loved it. "How many times was he in this house, laying where I lay?" I asked, scratching my head. She shook her head. "How many?!" I shouted.
"I don't know!" She cried.
"Hm. Must've lost count. You have some really big balls baby." I chuckled and stood in front of her again. "Because you know what I would've done to him if I had came home and found y'all together right?" I smiled. She shook her head.
"You'd go back.. you can't go back." She whispered.
"Oh stop the 'dont go, I'll miss you' pity party. You'd have a blast." I laughed. " The one time I put everything aside because of my dumb ass feelings, isn't that something? And what's crazier is I've never loved anyone as much as I love you. Loved you." I shrugged. I began chuckling again.
"Baby please calm down."
" I'm not your baby we're getting a divorce." I said, taking my rings off.
"Kyjuan no!" She cried. I looked at her.
"I will never understand that. Sleeping around with a doctor for almost a year but you don't wanna separate from me. Funny. Everyone doesn't get what they want apparently." I sat the rings on the coffee table. She broke down crying as I went upstairs. I dialed on my phone.
"Hello?" Symphony's voice said.
"Hey, is it straight if I crash at your place for a while?"
"Well what's a while?" She asked.
"Maybe a week at most." I said, throwing clothes and shoes into suitcase.
"Yeah sure. Is everything okay?"
"When are they ever? Look I'll see you in a bit, alright?" I said.
"Yeah, sure." She said. I hung up. Angelique thumped up the stairs.
"Kyjuan you're not leaving." She said with her makeup running down her face. I opened my drawers and threw clothes in from there too.
"Last time I checked I was old enough to make whatever decision I felt like making." I said, going into the bathroom next and grabbing my things.
"Kyjuan, please don't!" She cried.
"Yeah, I said that too." I mumbled. I sat my bag on the bed and grabbed some of my things from the night stand that was on my side of the bed, by the room door. She put her hand on my shoulder and I stopped and shut my eyes.
"Kyjuan.. I need you. Please." She cried. I sighed and looked at her.
"But I'm not what you want. Excuse me." I said and continued.
"Kyjuan, stop!" She screamed. I grabbed her by her deltoid muscles and pressed her against the wall. She gasped.
"No." I said softly, then looked in her eyes.
"Please." She said, more tears running down her cheeks. "I love you." She gasped and kissed me, and began making out with me. I wanted to succumb, so bad... but I couldn't. Not again. I pulled away firmly.
"I gotta go." I said, grabbing my bag as the doorbell rang. I went down to get it.
"Hi Daddy!" Donna said with bags in her hand. "I made sure I was back by dinner like you said, what are we eating?" She slowed down near the end of her sentence, noticing the bag in my hand. "Where are you going?"
"Look honey," I began and grabbed her hand. "I gotta... take a break for a little while, it's nothing that has to do with you or Trenton. Me and your mom are just having a hard time and I gotta get some space. I will still see you though honey." I said. She looked at my hand that I had her's in.
"Your ring." She said. "What about me and Trenton's birthday?"
"I'll be there, trust me. I'll always be there for you baby." I said and hugged her. "I'm gonna be at Symphonys for a while until things get straightened out, I'll come see you, and you know I'm only a call away. I love you Donna." I said and  kissed her forehead and left out of the door.
I sighed and started the car, driving off to Symphony's.
