Material Love Part Four

“Hello Ophelia how are you today you’re looking lovely as ever”, Devon said, looking at Tonya out the corner of his eye. This was making him sick; he was so tired of pretending he didn’t know what to do.
“So I see you brought your wife some flowers how nice”,
“Actually they are for you; I thought you would like some pretty flowers on this pretty evening.” “Evening don’t you mean night, evening has been long gone and no you thought wrong; I don’t want any flowers from you. Your wife is the woman you need to be buying flowers for you think I’m stupid but I’m not. I know you haven’t been coming home until wee hours of the morning and my daughter didn’t tell me. I have other ways to find out what’s going on up in here.”

Devon stood there for a moment trying to contain his thoughts, he started pacing back and forth, he so much wanted to go off on this old hag but this was his wife mother and his elder and if his father found out he was being disrespectful to his elder he would be in a world of trouble. Before he could turn around and face his mother- in- law his wife was in his face with her pleading eyes. She knew he wouldn’t be disrespectful but he would give her an ear full of his nice nastiness.

“Mother please don’t speak to my husband in that manner he hasn’t done anything to you he was trying to be nice and this is how you treat him.” Devon stepped back he couldn’t believe his ears little miss princess taking up for him this must be some kind of game they running. Tonya never goes against what her mother says so what the hell is going on he thought to himself.

Ophelia looked like she could have split her daughter in half
“How dare you speak to me in that tone! Girl I brought you into this world and I will surely take you out of it. All I have done and sacrificed for you. You better realize who’s always going to be there for you because it surely isn’t your dear husband; he could care less about you.”

Devon had had enough “It’s time for you to leave Ophelia if you can’t respect us more than this in our home then you must leave.” 
Ophelia turned around like I know this motha just didn’t try and dismiss me like that, that’s alright this is my daughter house too and I know she won’t tell me to leave. sheshe thought to herself.
“This is my daughter house too and if she wants me to stay then I’m staying. Baby girl do you want momma to go or do you want me to stay?’’
Tonya didn’t want to go against her mother but she was on a mission and she had to do what she had to do to get closer to her husband. I’ll just call momma tomorrow and smooth things over then she thought to herself.

“Mother, I agree with Devon I think you should leave and we’ll talk about this later when everyone cools down if that is fine with you” still trying to please her mother as much as she could.
Ophelia looked Tonya straight in the eyes “You dare go against me for this low budget attorney how dare you!  Well I tell you what when your world comes crumbling down don’t call me” Ophelia was walking to the door with her head held high, then she suddenly stopped and turned around with a wicked grin on her face. Um and by the way missy ask your loving husband what keeps him out in the wee hours of the morning” then she smirked and said “OPPS did I just say that” and open and slammed the door behind her.

Tonya quickly turned around and looked at Devon. He tried to clear his face as fast as he could to prepare himself for the question he knew she would ask.
“What is she talking about Devon?”
