What I Learned In L.A. (Sequel to What I learned at Hope Springs)

True Lies

Brittany

Sunday Funday turned into an entire week. I loved it. The beach was so realxing. I took a deep breath as I put Chris last bag inside the car. He was moving so slow this morning. "Chris! Come on!" I yelled. He was taking his time walking to the car. "What's wrong with you?" I asked as he reached my side. "Just got this weird feeling, and before you ask, I took my medicine." he said. "hey, calm down." I said placing a hand on his shouler. "Maybe we shouldn't have stayed this long." 'You needed to relax, leave that shit here, we'll be home in no time." I told him. "It's just that, I called Jas, and she ain't picking up her phone." "She's fine." I reassured him. I grabbed his hand, "Get in the car big baby." I said opening the door for him. Chris climbed in, I quickly pulled out my phone scrolling down to Micheal's number. He hadn't been answering his phone in a couple days either, but I didn't want to tell Chris that. I climbed into the car starting the ignition.

"What if she had the baby?" Chris asked as we pulled up in front of his house. "She didn't have the baby, why would she have the baby and not call you." "I don't know. "Look Mike's here, now if she had the baby, he would have called." I said. Everything in me hoped my statement was true. We got out getting Chris' bags going in the house. "Baby!" Chris yelled. I scanned the living room for signs of life, there was a tee shirt thrown across the couch and one shoe randomly lying on the floor. "Aye Chris make me a sandwich love, I'm starving."I told him, right now I needed a distraction. "Okay." he said jogging to the kitchen. I went upstairs, I mean I knew what I would find but I wanted to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me.

At the top of the stairs I heard light moans. I shook my head and followed the noises. I made it to the room taking a deep breath and opened the door. There was Micheal on top of Jasmine. I went over pulling him off the top of her. "Shit Brittany, it's not what it looks like." he said. I just stared at him, "Find a shirt. Let's go." "Brittany, I'm so sorry." Jasmine said. "Bitch shut up. You need to get your ass up before Chris notices all of ya'll shit downstairs."

I went into Chris dresser grabbing a tee shirt throwing it at Micheal. He walked out the room with his shoe in his hand. I followed him downstairs. He quickly switched shirts with the one on the couch, and put his other shoe on. "Aye Brittany, you want turkey or ham?" Chris yelled from the kitchen. "Turkey." I said staring at Micheal like he lost his mind, cause his ass definitely did.

"You find Jas?" "Yea, she was upstairs in bed." "Mike where were you?" "Bathroom. I was in the bathroom." he said nervously. He's a damn idiot. "How was the trip, did ya'll have fun? everybody relaxed?" Micheal asked. "Yea, I was just ready to come home, I missed my baby." Chris said. Jasmine finally showed up downstairs. "Hey baby." She said going straight to Chris kissing him on the mouth. All of a sudden I felt sick. I gagged, and threw up all over the floor.

Micheal

Brittany just threw up all over the floor. I ran to her aid, "babe, you okay?" "Get off of me Micheal." She said kind of pushing me away. "B, you okay?" Chris asked. Letting go of Jasmine. "You wanna go upstairs and lay down?" "I'm sorry about your floor Chris." "Our floor." Jasmine said. Brittany glared at her, "come on let's get you home." I told her. I tried to get her off the floor but she snatched away from me again. She finally stood up on her own. She walked over to Chris, "call me later." She told him. "Ok, you feeling okay?" He asked her. She didn't say anything just kissed him.

He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. Neither one of them stopped. "What the fuck Chris?" Jasmine yelled. "Brittany that's enough!" I yelled. I went over to her snatching her away from him dragging her out the house. She snatched away from.me once we got outside. She went to Chris car swinging her foot under the bumper making the trunk pop open. After she grabbed her bags from the trunk, she walked over to my car climbing in. "I can't believe you just did that?" I said. "I kissed Chris, you fucked Jasmine and she's pregnant! All the shit y'all gave us about how much time we been spending together and the entire time y'all been fucking?" She sighed like she was so tired of me.

Chris

"What the fuck Chris?" Jasmine yelled at me. Shit I didn't know what was going on. "Brittany that's enough." Mike's voice boomed through the house. I let go of Brittany's waist and for a split second we stared at each other. Micheal came over and snatched her away from me and drug her outside. I just stood there blowed, what the hell just happened. "Are you serious?" Jasmine asked. "Why would you kiss her?" I chuckled. She don't need to be questioning me. I went back to the kitchen grabbing my sandwich from the counter.

Jasmine followed me in the kitchen. "Chris What the fuck was that?" "Ya know, I thought I was tripping. Ya know you wasn't picking up the phone, wasn't responding to messages. I looked over the fact that there were clothes scattered everywhere, but I found a empty box of condoms just sitting here on the fucking counter." "Chris I-- "shut the fuck up Jasmine, every since I could remember, you been giving me a hard time about Brittany. How much time we spend together, why we're so close, we must be fucking...how long you been doing this shit, huh?"

She didn't answer me and that just frustrated me more. "Answer me!" I yelled. She jumped. Chris I'm sorry." She whispered. "I was hurting I had stomach pains and you weren't here. I needed you here, I thought I was in labor." "It was Sunday Funday." I told her."We knew about your stupid day, why do you think we didn't call!" I shook my head. I chuckled, "how did it happen. Did he come on to you?" She looked down at her feet. "Oh shit, this is really something, you ain't saying shit so you came on to him?" She still didn't answer me, She just stood there crying. "Man get the fuck outta here Jas."I said taking another bite of my sandwich and pushing pass her.

"Chris, let me explain." I heard her say. She came up behind me placing a hand on my shoulder. "Fuck off me!" I yelled turning around towards her. "Baby just talk to me." She begged trying to grab my hands, I grabbed her by both of her arms, "don't fucking touch me! I swear to god I will fuck you up if you touch me again!" I yelled. She snatched away, ultimately falling on the floor. "I'm sorry." She kept saying as she cried. I really didn't care about that, I just finished my sandwich.

Jasmine

Chris walked away leaving me on the floor crying. He was pissed. I.didn't know what else to do when he was gone. Micheal was everything that I needed and wanted at the moment, so no, I don't feel bad for finding comfort in another man's arms. Besides Brittany found comfort in Chris arms all the time, regardless of them sleeping together or not. I picked myself up from the floor grabbing my car keys. Chris didn't want to be around me so I decided to go into the office at the store and check out some things.

A few hours passed when I realized that there were signatures needed on the forms of some deliveries that were sent here from Mike and Chris's store. I compiled all the forms together putting them in a folder, I'll just drop then off so I won't have to worry about it later. Once I got there, I was greeted by an associate. "Hey Ms. Jas." "Hey Sweetie, I wanted to leave these here for Micheal, Chris is under the weather I didn't want to bother him about it." I sat the forms on top of the desk, "he's actually in the back if you want to speak to him. Conference room #3." She said. "Ok." I said grabbing the forms from the table and walking to the back of the store. Conference room 3 was Micheal's personal office, where held his one on one meetings. I knocked twice before hearing him say come in. I turned the knob walking in.

"Hey." I said nervously. I didn't know what he would do or how he'd act since Brittany was back. "Hey. You okay?" He asked. I shook my head yes, knowing I wasn't, I was so confused. I closed the door behind me and walked over to the couch and sat down. He came over and sat down next to me, taking the firm's throwing them on the floor. He pulled me close to him kissing my lips. In a swift move he pulled me on to his lap, my shirt almost over my head instantly. He large lips sucked on my neck and I'm sure he was leaving several marks. I thought about everything. I thought abit the hurt it wild case them, the heartache of trusting us so much only for us to betray them, and it didn't phase me. My back was lowered  on to the couch, Micheal lingering over me waiting to attack, and I was all for it. I undid the buckle to his belt, and unzipped his pants. I slid my hand into the boxers he wore and stroked him, causing him to moan against my neck.

Micheal's answering machine bleeped and the girl from the front of the store came on the speaker. "Mr. Nguyen, Brittany is on line 2." "Tell her I'm on a very important conference call, I'll call her back when it's done." He lied and I pulled him close to me kissing him. I don't know how long this lie would continue, but for now it would.
