Page 13 of Her Loyalty

"Yeah.." She trailed off, standing to her feet.

"She left it in the bathroom. Unlocked." She went on and I shook my head.

"Well damn. Whatchu gon' through her shit for?" I spat as she raised her eyebrows.

"Because I was being nosey but I should've minded my business from the start." She scoffed.

"Why what's up?" I asked, curious what she was rapping about.

"Nothing, kid. I'm just about to go to the bar. I'll see you later." She went on to say, confusing me. I said nothing else as shewalked out of the house and I sat there with T's phone in my hand.

I debated on going through it but I quickly decided not to because I wasn't no weird nigga. I never went through her phone before and I trusted my girl, if she was hiding some shit from me, that would be on her. She already know how I get down.

I don't take kindly to disrespect.

30 minutes later

7:30pm

"Tiana, why are you late? I told you to be home by four o'clock to help me set up."

"I told Connor to tell you guys I was held up at a friend's." I rolled my eyes, looking over to Connor, who was currently turning red from embarrassment.

"Stop that disgusting rolling of your eyes." She demanded.

"And who is this friend anyway?" She eyed me and my attire as I looked away from her.

"A friend from school." I lied through my teeth and she nodded slowly.

"Very well. Go upstairs and freshen up. We'll get the table set."

"Connor's parents will be here any minute." She said and I nodded, making my way out of the kitchen and the hot seat.

Making my way upstairs, I walked up to my room and dropped all of my things onto the floor. I sat down on my bed, reminiscing about being with Dom.

I missed him already and I was ready to go back.

Deciding I would call him, I grabbed my jacket and looked into my pockets, not feeling my phone anywhere.

"What the-" I stopped all together, thinking of the last time I'd had it.

"Shit." I facepalmed myself, remembering I'd sat it down in the bathroom back at Dom's place.

"Oh my god." I panicked, standing to my feet and grabbing my car keys.

I had to go and get it before he went through it and saw something that I knew he wouldn't like. I couldn't risk it.

Dashing out of my room, I made my way back downstairs and into the kitchen.

"I have to go. I left my phone over at Stephanie's." I said, making up any name as I walked into the kitchen.

"What? My parents will be here any minute." Connor bitched and I cut my eye at him.

"Well, I left my phone. I'll be back." I fussed as my mother looked over to me.
