DEVANTE POV

What's up, ya'll? It's ya homie Boss Playa DeVante! I know it's been a while since ya'll heard from me, but in between working on new music and keeping my beautiful wife Sabti happy, I'm pulled in so many different directions. I woke up this morning overlooking a poster of my baby and smelled breakfast.....

I rushed downstairs to find that Sabti had went all out for breakfast! Pancakes, homemade biscuits, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, egg whites,  fruits: blueberries, strawberries, honeydew melon, mandarin oranges, orange slices, papaya, mangoes, cherries, bananas, apples, and kiwis. She had placed orange juice, grape juice, pineapple juice, chocolate milk, coconut milk,  water, and different flavors of homemade yogurt. 

Me: Wow baby, you went all out for a nigga!

Sabti: Anything for my husband.

I kissed her lightly on the cheek. I grabbed a to-go box, put some food in it and kissed her on the cheek.

Sabti: Are you serious?

Me: What?

Sabti: Why cant we sit down and eat breakfast like the married couple that we are?

Me: I'm busy today, I have a meeting in an hour!

Sabti: You can eat with me and make it! I don't understand why you can't make time for me anymore!

Me: I don't understand why you can't wrap your head around the fact that I'm working to keep us this way!

Sabti: We need to go to counseling!

Me: No.

Sabti: Why?

Me: As a matter of fact, that's a HELL NAW.

Sabti: I've been saying this for the past five years!

Me: I don't care, we aren't doing this. 

Sabti: We need to figure out what's wrong in our marriage!

Me: There's nothing wrong!

Sabti: Yes there is! I'm telling you there is!

She slammed a plate against the counter and burst into tears. I sighed. Part of me wanted to touch her, but I needed to get this work done. 

Me: I'm not talking about this no more, I'm gone.

I love my wife, but I'm just too proud to admit that something's wrong.  Besides, what if Sabti's just overreacting about things? Yeah, that's it.
