"Thank goodness I always keep an emergency makeup kit" he smiled, standing up
*1 hour later
Despite what happened, I'm managing to enjoy myself. Of course I'm still hurt, but I can cry whenever. Tonight is just for me.
"This is the most beautiful photography studio I have ever seen. My daughter and I will be enrolling in classes first thing Monday morning" a woman said to me
"Thank you, I'm glad you like it" I smiled
"It has so much color, normally they're all boring and dull."
"Yeah, I wanted to try something different" I said
"Eden!" I heard Chris's voice
"You need to leave" then I heard Felix's
"Excuse me for a second" I sat my water down and rushed over to them
"Why are you yelling?" I asked Chris
"My bad baby, Felix's buggin'."
"Ain't nobody buggin'. You need to go before you get your face stomped in, fucking cheater" Felix said
"Cheater?" Chris chuckled "Baby get yo friend"
"How dare you come in here acting like everything is ok?" I asked, folding my arms
"What you talking about?" He asked
"Let him through Felix, I got this" I said "Let's go to the office" I said to Chris, not wanting to cause a scene
"Call me if you need me" Felix said
Once we reached the office, I closed and locked the door.
"Ohh, you wanted some alone time" Chris smirked, about to wrap his arms around my waist
I scoffed and pushed him away "Nigga please, after the stunt you pulled? You're fucking single"
"Stunt? Single? Where is all this coming from?" He asked "I know I'm a lil late, but that ain't no reason to break up with me" He chuckled
"And then you're gonna sit there and act like you don't know what I'm taking about!" I raised my voice
The event is pretty loud, so nobody should be able to hear us.
"Because I don't! What the hell"
"This" I tossed him my phone
I sat at the desk and watched him while he watched the video.
"What the fuck" he scrunched his face up in confusion, stopping the video
"Exactly, what the fuck. How could you do that to me?!" I stood back up
"That's not me" he shook his head
"Oh please." I scoffed "Unless you got an identical twin that neither one of us know about, that's your dumb ass"
"E, I'm telling you-"
"A bunch of lies, you're telling me a bunch of lies." I pushed his forehead, making his head jerk back a little
"You better chill the fuck out" he warned
"You better chill the fuck out" I mocked him
"At least let me try to explain" he touched my arm
"If you didn't do anything, what you trying to explain? Fucking liar" I jerked away from him
"Because you clearly don't believe me" he mugged me
"It's you in the damn video! I see your face and all!" I cried, getting angrier
"Please don't cry" his face softened
"I don't know if you were drunk or what. Not that any of that matters" I tried to calm myself down "What matters is, you fucked another girl"
"Baby-"
"I don't wanna hear it." I breathed "Now you can either get out or I'll have security escort you out"
"Tuh, you know I ain't worried about no damn security." He stood up "But I'll respect your wishes" he said before leaving
Once the door was closed, I broke down again. I know I said I wouldn't let this ruin my night, but it hurts.
It hurts to know that the person you deeply care about can do you so dirty.
Chris
Once I left Eden's event, I headed to Candice's crib. This has to be her doing because I don't remember sleeping with her.
"Open up" I knocked on her door
"Who is it?" she asked
I smacked my teeth "Chris"
The door flew open almost immediately after that "Hey boss" she smiled
"Cut the bullshit, I know what you did" I walked in her apartment and closed the door
"What are you talking about?"
"You must've drugged me, fucked me, recorded it, and sent it to my girlfriend"
"Chris" she chuckled "Why would I do something like that?"
"Why wouldn't you? You sprung ass bitch" I pushed her against a wall and gripped her throat
She tried to gasp for air, hitting my arm so I could let go
"Stop fucking lying!" I said through gritted teeth "You know what the hell you did! All signs point to you" I tightened my grip "If I lose my girl over this, you a dead bitch" I let her throat go and she dropped to the ground, gasping for air
"I sacrificed-" she coughed "Everything for you! I killed my brother—just for you!"
"Quan got killed doing a drop" I smacked my teeth
"No" she cleared her throat "I did it...I did it so I could get closer to you"
"The fuck?"
"He was next in line to run the warehouse on 54th. I wanted to be your top girl!" she cried at my feet
"Why'd you leave after?" I asked out of curiosity
"The police started questioning me, so I moved until the heat went away from me" she sniffled
"Crazy bitch" I tried to pry her off my leg
"I love you! I'd die for you" she smiled
"Bitch, get off me" I kicked her in the face
"I love you!" she hollered as I left out
