Chapter 15 Alicia
I walked inside of Above All Nail if they felt he wasn’t worthy, they would tell you.”
“I know, I just don’t—” My words halted when I looked up to see Nora coming out of the massage room a few feet away.
Just when I was about to call out to her, Leo stepped out behind her, confirming what I already felt in my heart to be true.
Immediately, my heart dropped. It felt like I just got stabbed in my heart repeatedly, and it was twisting with each intimate touch he gave her.
“What’s wrong?” Rae asked with a worried look on her face, then followed my line of sight to see exactly what I saw.
Leo took Nora’s hand and kissed the back of it while smiling at her.
“Oh, hell nah,” Rae said, taking out her phone and snapping pictures of the two of them.
I was too in shock to understand what she was doing.
I shouldn’t have been shocked though. I had known it already.
The event happening at the same time was just way too coincidental for me not to have known they had run off together.
Still, my heart dropped at seeing them together.
The way he wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her neck while she giggled like a gay man with a bag of dicks made my eyes sting from the hurt he caused me.
They caused me.
Before I could say anything, Raeley was out of her seat and storming toward them.
“Rae, no. Don’t do this!” I whisper-shouted as I ran behind her, but it was too late. She was already approaching them as I watched their giddiness disappear upon seeing me. They both looked busted.
“What’s up, Cleo? Hey, Whora. Fancy to see you two here, . . . together,” Raeley said sarcastically.
“I—Ali—” Nora started, but I put my hand up to stop her.
“You know, I figured you two hooked up behind my back. It was way too obvious that you conveniently stopped answering my calls and transferred from Thomas it was because you were my very best friend, and I knew I was still in love with your husband.”
I looked at her as if this bitch had lost her mind.
“Sounds like you were just being a pussy-ass bitch to me. How the fuck you call my cousin your best friend, but fucking her husband behind her back, all because you were still carrying around some bitch-ass, high-school feelings! Like, bitch, is you serious?”
“I love him!” she cried out.
“Nora, baby, don’t.” The way he stood in front of her protectively and wiped her tears sent me into a blind rage. I grabbed the vase of flowers from a nearby table and slammed it right over his head.
“You dirty son-of-a-bitch! How dare you! I gave you everything, you selfish piece of shit!” I screamed.
I then lunged for Nora, but she hurriedly ran off, and Leo grabbed my leg, making me fall before I could grab her.
“She’s pregnant, Ali! Don’t hurt her!” Those words landed heavily on my chest as I yanked my ankle from his hand. His hands felt like acid on my skin after hearing those words.
“You got us fucked up!” I heard Rae yell, and she raised her foot, stomping on his knee.
I sprang to my feet, and together, Rae and I stomped his ass out.
Nora had to have gone to get security because, before I knew it, we were being escorted out of the building.
They made us wait outside while they grabbed our things, then told us we were banned for a year.
