After we went inside and went to our table, we waited for the waitress to take our orders. When she finally came, Anthony and Janiyah both ordered big meals, but I asked her to bring more bread to the table. I could eat their bread all day long.

"You need to eat." Anthony said before ordering Janique a plate.
"I'm fine."

"Bread is not a meal."
"That's a matter of opinion."
"Alright, Janique, if you say so."

The food arrived at the table and Anthony made Janique eat or take it home it was her choice. As for Janiyah she didn't leave a crumb."

After Anthony paid the bill, they left. Janique had her food in a carry out box, which she planned to dispose of as soon as she got home.

"And don't throw it away." Anthony suggested to Janique as if he read her mind.

"You're gonna eat that damn food." He said getting a little angry.
"Okay...okay dang." Janique replied.

She didn't see what the big deal was. But, then again, it didn't take much to make Anthony upset.

She took all of Janiyah's stuff and put it away before giving her a bath. She put her to sleep and went back out to the living room to entertain Anthony.
*****
She hadn't seen Anthony all day and she was worried sick. Keisha was blowing up Anthony's phone just to get his voicemail every single time.

He hadn't said anything about where he was going when he left that morning. She didn't know whether she should be scared or upset.
"Please answer the phone, Anthony," she begged, pressing the call button.
"Yo, wassup, this is Ant. I can't pick up the phone right now, but leave a message and I'll be sure to get at you later on. One"

She decided to leave a message anyway. "Look Anthony I've been waiting for you all day to come home. Where are you? Call me as soon as you get this message bye."

Before she could gather her thoughts, her phone rang. She answered it without looking at the caller ID. "Anthony?"
"Naw, this ain't Anthony," Mariah said. "Why you answer the phone asking for him?"

"He isn't home and I haven't seen him all day. I'm trying to figure out here the hell he is." Keisha said with anger in her voice.
"Mmm I told you that husband of yours is no good." Mariah stated matter of factly.

"It's not that. He's just-"
"He's just no good. Kiesha, you need to stop making excuses for him. And don't think I didn't see the bruises on your neck the other night."

"Girl those were just hickies." Keisha said as a lie to herself more than Mariah.
"Bull shit I'm not stupid. You need to leave him but no one ever listens to Mariah until it's too late."

"Because Mariah is always giving unwanted advice."
"Well, you should want my advice. My husband is downstairs making me dinner right now, and he never puts his hands on me."
"Is this what you called me for?"

"No I just wanted to see if you wanted to go shopping tomorrow but I think you needed to hear this more than that."
"Yeah whatever."

"Kiesha, if I didn't love you, I wouldn't say this stuff to you, you know that, right?"
"Mhmmm... I'll call you back later." She hung up before she could respond.

Keisha knew Mariah was right but nobody ever wanted to hear the complete truth. That's why Keisha lied to herself and said everything was okay. That was her way of coping with the obvious.
