Alei

Sitting there with my passport in his hand, I had honestly forgotten about that.

"Oh that was like back in what, May or June I believe." I answered honestly.

"How come ya didn't tell me bout that?"

"I honestly forgot about that. You were on tour and I had to make a judgment call. It was just business babe."

"What business because all that time you wasn't hosting."

Looking at him, I was confused as to why he was acting like this.

"Babe I'm not lying. It was honestly just business that came up last minute. I apologize for not telling you but that's all that it was."

"That don't make any sense." He followed behind me. "Around that time you was about five going on six months pregnant."

"August I know, but the opportunity came up and I took it to do work and just get away for a bit."

"Get away from what Alei?"

"I needed to just be out of the house for a while. You weren't home and I couldn't reach you for whatever reason most of the time and it began getting to me, so I went. If I was wrong then I'm sorry."

"Who you went with?"

"I went by myself and then I met up with Sean and the photographer over there."

Scoffing, he shook his head and began to laugh.

"What's wrong now?" I sighed.

"This nigga." He shook his head. "I told you bout him and its like yeen listening to me."

"What?" I finally turned.

Same time he picked up my phone from off the bedside.

"Are you serious right now Aug? I don't have anything to lie about and I damn sure don't have anything to hide."

Ignoring me, he unlocked my phone and went through it. I didn't try to stop him because I knew I had nothing to hide.

"This is work?" He turned the phone to me. "You being in a club is fucking work right."

Same time my phone began to ring and he just kept ignoring it.

"That was the night before I came home. I was only out there for two days Aug. I don't see why you're acting like this." I sighed.

Stepping to him, I tried to take my phone but he pulled back.

"You was messing with him?"

"Excuse me?"

I was honestly taken aback by all of this. Here I was telling him the truth and this was how he was responding.

"Did you fuck him Alei!" He yelled.

"First off, please keep your voice down. My daughter is still in this house and second of all, no I didn't fuck him. What kind of person do you think I am?"

Obviously scrolling through, he looked at me.

"Explain this then?"

Turning the phone to me, it was a next photo of Sean kissing me on my cheek.

"I was taking a selfie and he photobombed me by doing that. August I told you already, it was nothing."

"That shit ain't nothing Alei." He yelled. "You outchea pregnant and running around fucking Miami with that clown like its nothing."
