What A....Disaster! Part2

"Okay sooo...Mason is dropping KJ off to school and walking to his, DJ is with my parents while the girls are with your parents." I ran down the list to Donnie via FaceTime while looking in the refrigerator; getting my shopping list ready for the grocery store.

I was leaning on the kitchen counter with my pen in hand waiting for Donnie to finish telling someone what to do before refocused his attention on me and nodded his head.

"Okay cool, so the little ones will be staying the night or will they be picked up tonight?" I turned to look at him and rolled my eyes causing almost instantly Donnie to laugh.

"Staying the night" We both answered at the same time.

"Yeah I tried to give both of our parents a time for me to come get them and almost got my ass kicked....twice." Donnie shook his head and held his hand over his mouth while laughing at my twisted face.

"Damn baby...well how about this...I take the boys somewhere like the movies and you get some alone time...I think Kari is staying home today so maybe you two can talk? Get some things off of your chest..." He slowly came to a stop once he saw my straight face.

"Or not...come on Mo, I don't know what is going on, but you two need to get on the right page...this thing between you two is not normal for you and bringing the vibe in the house down-" I squint my eyes at him and smacked my lips.

"Not my problem-" I stopped short when I heard Bakari's heavy feet coming down the steps.

Bakari walked in and despite my demeanor he pressed his lips to my temple and spoke to his brother.

"Good morning yall, what yall talking about?" He asked while looking at my IPad and I quickly went back to the fridge and started looking through what we needed.

"Well Mo is about to do the shopping, since you off why don't you go and help?" I heard Bakari sigh and knew some bullshit was about to follow.

"I would, but you know I got to get this next bootcamp ready for the weekend-"

"Nigga it's Tuesday...your day off..." I heard Donnie try to stress but it was falling on deaf ears.

"Come on bro you know we need to get this money-" I heard Bakari say and I rolled my eyes.

"Nigga we are no where near hurting for shit, what is going on?" I could hear the frustration in Donnie's voice and turned around to see sure enough he was pissed.

"What are you talking about-" He tried to ask, but I walked over and grabbed up my IPad.

"Donnie...just let it go...it's not worth it." I spoke honestly and from that I saw Bakari lean back a bit looking confused while Donnie looked a bit nervous.

"Mona-" I gave him a weak smile while blinking a bit and waved; unable to speak due to the fact I knew I was going to cry again. I watched Donnie shoulders slump before he blew me a kiss and we both hung up.

"What is that fool...Mo? Mona you good?" He started trying to talk, but I walked around him and started walking up the steps while wiping my eyes and ignoring him.

"Mona, you crying? What did I just miss?" I rolled my eyes for what felt like the hundredth time and kept on to "our" room and started getting my clothes ready for the day.

"MONA!?" I jumped at him using his booming voice that he used for the children and spun around to see his face now hard due to me ignoring him...something her never tolerated from anyone.
