Chapter 7
Markko and Langston
Both went to bed with many questions on their mind about their daughter, unable to speak to each other because both not knowing to say. With the hours winding down and their daughter on her way home, both ponder how to approach the situation. Langston was out in the living room sitting, when Markko came out and sat next to her. They then both looked at each other, not knowing what to say they just collapsed in each other's arms as Langston began to cry again. "Babe don't cry we will figure this out and if indeed our daughter is having an affair we will deal with this." "I keep asking my self where did I go wrong was it something that I said to her." "Honey you did nothing wrong we raised her right we will get to the bottom of this." With that, he then kissed her and held her in a long embrace as she continued to sob. Just then, the door open and Lexi walked in and she looked at her parents as she placed her bags to the ground. "Hi, Mom what's wrong? Why are crying did someone die?" "No sweetie." Markko said "Alexis could you come here please." "Ok you called me by my first name that must not be good whatever it is I can explain." "That's what I'm hoping." Langston's mood then changed she had a stern look on her face "Alexis where were you this weekend?" "I was with Kate?" Langston then got up now she is mad "Alexis Maria Rivera don't lie to me where were you?" Lexi saw the seriousness in both her parents' faces and realized that they knew "Mom …" "lexi how you could have an affair with a married man." "Mom, What?" Lexi then got up "I am not having an affair." "Well you need to explain your self young lady because I saw you with a man at the mall yesterday and I saw the ring on his finger and you two were kissing." "Honey let her speak." "Markko this is not the time to pick her side right now." "I'm not picking any sides I just want to know the truth just as much you do." "I know you see her as your little princess and she can do no wrong." They continued to argue and Lexi was getting a headache from it she knew she had to come clean now. "Mom, Dad stop yelling!" both parents then looked at their daughter "could you both sit down please I can explain everything." They then sat down both looking intently into their daughters eyes. Lexi began to pace the floor in front of them, very nervously, not sure, how to break the news to them but she had no choice she then turned to them. "I can explain about the man you saw me with. I am not having an affair, yes he is married but… to me…. the man you saw me with… is my… husband."
