Chapter 19 #3
“He couldn’t stop talking about the blue-eyed baddie, which was crazy to me when you have a nigga you claim to love so much.
Since you wanted to hate on me because of niggas I wanted, I decided to test out the dick you’re so crazy over.
You don’t deserve a man like him, and now that I know what that dick feels like, I hope he finally leaves you for a bitch who will appreciate him,” Valor spat with venom laced in her tone.
“Bitch!” Lyric lunged toward Valor, but I wrapped her in a bear hug to stop her.
“Aye, bitch. You gotta get the fuck out of my house. I don’t know what the fuck the two of you have going on, but you need to raise the fuck out of here before shit gets ugly. I don’t put my hands on women, but I will shoot a bitch for playing with me.”
“Call me when you’re ready for another round. I could tell by how fast you got hard that she isn’t taking care of that dick the way she should. You need a real bitch on your arm.” Valor winked, then turned and ran out of the room when Lyric tried to jerk out of my hold.
Once I heard the front door slam, I let her go.
I got ready to say something but was stunned by Lyric’s fist punching me in the eye.
It burned so badly, my eye started to water, and it pissed me off.
While I stood there hunched over, her ass hopped on my back and began to punch me wherever her hits landed.
My vision was fucked up in my left eye, so I was at a disadvantage. Eventually, I was able to pull her off me, but it didn’t go the way I thought it would.
“You need to leave,” Lyric murmured as she stood there with a despondent expression on her face.
“What the fuck do you mean? I ain’t do shit!”
“Are you kidding me right now? I walked in on you fucking one of my best friends, Essex! I’m not one of those dumb-ass bitches you can run game on.
She was dead ass wrong, but you’re supposed to be my man.
How could you do something so fucked up?
” Lyric’s voice cracked, and it finally hit me that this was much worse than I thought.
“Oh, come on. I’ve never even given that bitch a second glance in all the years she’s been your friend. Why would I purposely fuck somebody close to you when there are plenty of bitches I could fuck who would gladly keep a secret?”
“You are unbelievable. I’m gonna get out of here, because if I stay any longer, I might really kill your ass.
As much as I want to act like I’m surprised, I knew this day would come.
Shit with us was always too good to be true, and I knew the other shoe would drop eventually.
I wish I had never gotten involved with you in the first place.
” Lyric tried to walk off, but I grabbed her arm to hold her back.
“Wait a minute. We need to talk about this. You’re reacting off of emotions without trying to hear what I have to say.” The fact that I was standing there pleading with her with a fucked-up eye and bloody nose pissed me off.
“I don’t want to talk right now. I’m not in the right mental space to deal with any of this. I’m gonna pack a bag and go stay with my brother for a little while.”
“And then what?” I swear, it felt like I was living in the mothafuckin’ twilight zone, and I was waiting for someone to jump out and tell me it was all a prank. The blank expression on Lyric’s face was a humbling reminder that it wasn’t.
“I can’t think past right now. I’ll call and see if granny can keep Noodle for a few extra days; that way you can go see her whenever you want.” Her statement blew my mind, and I chuckled angrily as I stared at her.
“My daughter has a home, and it ain’t with my granny. If you aren’t in the right space to take care of her, then I will, but you’re not about to pawn her off on someone else.”
“Yeah, okay. I’m not gonna argue with you, so do what you want.”
Lyric walked out of the room and headed into the spare room.
I could have chased her and begged her to stay, but I was tired both literally and figuratively.
No matter how hard I tried to love her, she pushed me away.
I was tired of fighting to love her while she fought me in return.
Mentally, I was drained, and I wanted to believe maybe a few days apart would do us some good.
After she gathered her things, I helped her carry her bags to the car.
I let her know to call me if she needed something, then turned to head into the house.
Her lips were poked out, and I knew her ass was disappointed because she thought I was gonna chase her and beg her to stay.
I was done with all of that shit. If she wanted things to work, she would have to put in some effort.
I watched her pull off from the window, then headed back to my room.
My head shook when I saw all of the damage they had done to my room.
In all of my years of fucking bitches, I had never experienced anything like that before.
I still couldn’t even believe it happened.
I planned to catch up on some rest, and then I would be paying her homegirl a visit.
It was obvious she thought that I was someone to play with, and I needed to make sure she understood how dangerous her decision was.
