"You should know that I wouldn't cheat on you, I love you too much to hurt you like that." She walked in the house.

I done messed up, why would I question her loyalty when I know she's been faithful?

"Imani—"

"No no, I'm fine." She got Asia bottle.

"I'm sorry Monaé."

"It's fine."

"No it ain't, I knew you were faithful but then what Da'jonte said just kept replaying in my head."

"It's fine Deshawn." She got up going to the room.

"Iman—"

"I'm good." She rocked Asia.

"I'm sorr—"

"How many times do I have to tell you it's fine?"

"Until you give me an honest reply."

"It's fine Malik."

"You know you ain't ok, give an honest answer." I hugged her.

"Get off me Malik." She tried to get out of my hold.

"That's how I know you not fine. Talk ima listen."

"Get the fuck on." She walked back out the room.

"Talking bout some 'I'm fine' a mothafuckin lie."

"What you wanna do Malik?"

"For you to talk with me."

"Every time I try to you never listen, so what's the point?"

"Ima listen today."

"Mhm."

"I'm deadass."

"I bet you are." She sat down.

"Talk Monaé."

"Why did you believe someone that doesn't fuck with you over someone that'll hold you down for life?"

"What he said just kept replaying in my head, I started getting curious."

"You weren't curious before you talked to him?"

"No."

"And you believed the shit he was saying?"

"Yes, because it just kept replaying in my head. I just had to ask you if it was true."

"You let that nigga make you question my loyalty though."

"And I'm sorry for that Imani." I grabbed her hand.

"Wait, when the hell did you find time to kill somebody when you were with Asia?"

"I dropped her off with Cam."
