Obsession

16.

A month had passed and Stephen had began to call home less often. Despite the thousands of text and calls that Raven would leave on his phone he never answered. It was like he had vanished.

She had tried tracking his phone but everything came up blank like he had fallen off the edge of the earth. She had called his father, his mother, his friends, and nothing. Nobody had heard anything from him. So as her last resort she made a called to her aunt down at the jail asking if she could check to see if her husband had been arrested. When nothing came back she became worried. Maybe someone had murdered him.

Fear plastered on her face she called her best friend Victoria.

"Fitchet funeral home you kill 'em we chill 'em. How may I help you?"

"Did you kill my husband ?"

"No. Not yet. Why do I need to?"

"No" she begins to cry knowing that she may never hear from him again.

"I haven't heard from him in almost two weeks."

"Maybe because he thinks you're sleeping with the help."

"Please stop."

Victoria laughs. Stephen had texted her last week asking if Raven had called her and let her know anything about what was going on at home and she told him no. He had went on and on about how he thought that the two of them were sleeping together because he had covered all the cameras in the house with tape and had been sleeping in bed with Raven more often. Victoria took it upon herself to relay the message to her best friend letting her know that Stephen was probably out somewhere cheating so that he could get back at her.

"But the crazy thing is. I'm not sleeping with him. He spends some nights with me but he keeps his hands to himself. David doesn't even really feel comfortable with being in the room with me. I still have to sleep with the door open when he comes to keep me company."

"If I was you I would use the IPhone glitch that's been going around and see what he's up to."

"What glitch?"

"Save your phone number as a new contact. Call him on FaceTime. Add you, the new contact to the FaceTime call. And it'll answer his phone for you."

"I'll call you back."

They hang up and Raven proceeds to try the hack. It works and she's disappointed in the conversation she's hearing from his pocket. The fact that he's standing around calling another girl baby and all this other shit hurts. She hears a bed dip and can't bring herself to hang up no matter how hard she tries. She needed to catch him in the act. She wanted a divorce as soon as he made his way back.

The girl moans loudly making Stephen cuss under his breath.

"Damn yo shit wet."

She begins to sob and shortly after is face to face with a shocked Stephen.

"Baby? How... how long you been on FaceTime?"

"Baby!?" The girl yells

"Nigga you said you was single."

"Shut the fuck up."

Raven shakes her head not wanting to ever be bothered by him again.

"I want a divorce. Don't even come home matter of fact."

"Divorce?! Nigga you married?"

Stephen back hands the girl and looks back towards the phone.

"I told you to shut the fuck up. Get dressed."
