"I was doing kinda bad until you came", he said.

Diamond looks down.

"I didn't mean to put my hands on you I'm sorry", he said.

"Just like you didn't mean to cheat? it was an accident?", she said.

"I didn't cheat", he said.

"Brian don't lie to me", Diamond.

"When have I ever?", he asked.

Diamond folded her arms.

"I love you and You know how i feel about you", Brian said. "I married you for a reason"

"Brian save it", Diamond said. "I'm not dumb"

"Of course you aren't. You're the smartest girl I know", he said. "Woman I know"

Diamond shakes her head. "Don't", Diamond said.
"Don't... you wanna sit and lie to me after I saw the condoms and your watch in Kelly's room?"

Brain makes a face.

"My friend Brian?? My fucking friend?? You really gone do me like that?", Diamond asked.

"Diamond it was one time and I'm-", he started to say.

Diamond cut him off. "Now you wanna tell the truth Brian???", she asked.

Brian sighs. "Diamond I'm in a lot of pain right now, I don't have the energy to argue", he said.

"That's fine because we're done", Diamond said.

"Done? Diamond it was a mistake", Brian said.

"And you're a grown man", Diamond said. "You know what you're doing even after you made your vows to me"

Brian looks down.

"What? Was I not good enough??", she asked. "Why did you do it?"

"Lately you just been...I don't know giving me this bad vibe and I was getting sick out it", Brian said.

"So you cheat?", She asked.

"I wasn't getting nothing from you", Brian said.

"Brian I be tired. I work, I cook, I clean, I take care of our daughter, I do everything", Diamond said.

"Where is Ayanna?", he asked.

"With her and my cousin", Diamond said.

Brian didn't say anything.

"You know what I have to get back to work. I'm glad you're okay", she said as she walked out.

Carey looked at her. "You okay?", she asked.

"I'm fine", Diamond said as she walked away.
