Embezzlement

1

It was cool night. It was long day at work. Unlocking the front door to his house, he walks in and finds his wife sitting on the stepping, angry at him. 

"What's wrong?" 

"You didn't tell me you was working late." 

"I texted you." 

She rolled her eyes. 

"Whatever. That's your answer for everything." 

"I'm not doing this with you! I had a long day at work." 

"You had a long day!" She laughed. "You didn't have deal with our son's school." 

"What happened?" 

"Now you care?" 

"He's our child Tina." 

"Well OUR son got into a fight today at school." 

The man was shocked. 

"You have anything to say Marc?" 

"Did he get suspended?" 

"Yes!" 

"Look I talk to him in the morning." 

"Whatever. You sleeping on the couch." 

Tina walked upstairs stomping her feet. Marc sighed and walked in the living room.

Marc woke up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around, before getting up. He walked to the kitchen and saw Tina. She gave him the side eye and went back to cooking breakfast. He saw his son sitting down. 

"Your mom said you go suspend." 

"I got into a fought with my bully." 

Both parents looked at their son. 

"Mikey...What?" TIna was in shock 

"Why didn't you tell us you have a bully?" 

"You two been fighting a lot lately." 

Marc and Tina looked at each other. 

"Mikey, we are going though something. We are sorry." Marc said. 

"Mommy and Daddy is going have a talk later. But we do love you son." 

"Okay." 

Marc pulled his wife to the side. 

"Look, I know we haven't been seeing eye to eye lately and I'm sorry that. I been stressed at work." 

"It's okay. We need to go to counseling or something." 

"Okay." 

He kissed his wife. 

"I have to work. Love you." 

"Love you too."
