This Feeling

Chapter 7

"Kennedy, just leave. Your lies are not going to make up for the fact that you cheated on me."

"Look me in my eyes and tell me you don't love her."

"Kennedy, get out!"

"You can't even deny it! It's whatever though. I'm done." She walked out into the living room to retrieve her dress and handbag.

"Raggedy *ss b*tch!" I yelled as she left and got onto the sidewalk.

"N*gga, fuck you!"

"F*ck you too!" I slammed the door shut. I better not see that b*tch again. I grabbed the sheets off the bed and threw them into the fireplace.

I looked at all the sh*t I bought her. I'm going to sell all of it and get my money back. I gotta win somehow.

I need to see Nicole. I picked up my phone to call her.

"Hey Dewayne. What's up?"

"Can you slide through?"

"Right now?"

"Yeah. Please?"

"Okay. I'm on my way somewhere, but I can make a quick stop. You okay?"

"Yeah, I just need to talk to somebody."

"I'll should be there soon."

"Thanks."

I lit up a blunt up and opened up a bottle of Bacardi, taking it to the head. I sat on the floor with my back against the couch as I watched the flames of the fireplace. I'm not going to cry over that h*e.

Luis called me to check if everything was fine. I thanked for his help. After we finished talking, I sent him the rest of his money via Zelle. I may not have liked what I saw on the cameras, but he did his job and deserved his money.

After 20 minutes, I heard a knock at the door.

"It's open!"

"Why is the door unlocked? What's going on?" Nicole walked into the living room, confused at my state.

"Kennedy had the audacity to bring a dude into my house and try to f*ck him on my bed."

"Are you serious?"

"I almost choked the life out of her, but I realized my freedom wasn't worth it."

"Thank God your senses kicked in. I'm sorry that happened to you. I know you really loved her."

"I should have listened to you."

"You had to see it for yourself. You can't take the blame. It's her loss. But this drinking is not going to make the pain go away." She took the bottle from me and placed it on the table.

"I know. I'm just glad I found out she was cheating before we got serious."

"You'll be alright. You just need some rest and find something to take your mind off of it."

"Where were you going when I called you? It sounded like you were driving."

"I've actually been at the warehouse all day logging in the new inventory for the next drop. I was going to stop at the hair store to get some edge control before meeting up with Kyle. We're going for dinner at that new spot near the aquarium."

"Yeah, I heard about that place."

"Have you eaten?"

"Nah, that sh*t made me lose my appetite."

"You still need to eat."

"I'll order a pizza or something later."

"Okay, if you say so. Are you going to be okay on your own?" She helped me up.
