I waited for him to come back for about 20 minutes. You can guess I was livid.

The whole time he was out there she was yelling and he was trying to silence her.

His phone wasn't far from my side so of course I took the incitive and took it into my hand and snooped. 

47 missed calls from an unsaved number

22 text messages from that number as well.

Sadly, his phone was locked. Now all I have is more questions that need answers.

A burning sensation rose within me, and not the good one.

Chresanto came back and I barely even glanced at him.

"She's gone." He said calmly.

"Good." I said while getting up from his bed and walking past him.

"Where are you going ?" He said before grabbing my arm and halting my movements.

"She's gone so that means I can leave too. " I said before cutting my eyes at him and snatching away from him.

"What? Chas, you can't be serious."

I ignored him and put on my socks and shoes.

My purse was now on my arm along with my car keys.

"What did you do with my jacket and my coat Chresanto."

Strangely he began to laugh.

"You really think I'm about to let you leave me like this? C'mon now come back to bed."

"Chresanto where did you put my shit." I said in a louder, more demanding tone.

He plastered a sinister smile upon his face and walked toward me. He removed his shirt in the process. Each step he took forward, I took backward like those girls in the movies.

And I eventually felt the wall behind me. Great.

He roughly placed his hand on the area near my face, making me jump. Then he placed a sweet kiss on my cheek. My body craved his touch but my mind rejected it.

"Get off of me!" I gritted through my teeth .

"Calm down. " he said calmly. He removed my purse and tossed it to the side along with my car keys.

"I just don't want you to leave me. " He said lowly. Placing his forehead on the wall near me.

"Please."

I sighed, and rolled my eyes to the back of my head. I was a sucker for his pouting.

I placed my hand on the back of his head and asked him, "Who was she? And be completely honest with me or I'm leaving you Chresanto."

He looked up at me and sighed. "It was Toni. "

I cringed at her name. I absolutely hated Toni with everything in me. And for her to show up the way she did meant they had something going on. They had to.

"What did she want ? Dick?" I laughed.

"You're laughing but that's exactly what she wanted. I told her that whatever we had going on was over awhile ago and she came over today unannounced. I promise you Chastity I'm not talking to her anymore."

I rolled my eyes again determining if I should believe him or not. This does sound like something she would do. But I don't know.

"What did you guys have going on ?" I said while looking down. I probably shouldn't have asked.
