Page 38 of Her Loyalty

"Nah, I couldn't let that happen." She shook her head and I nodded slowly.

"What's really fuckin' me up though is I knew some shit was gon' on, Dej."

"I just knew it." I blew smoke out my nose, clenching my jaw.

"Why you say that?" She asked.

"Yo, the night she left her phone in the spot, you was acting weird as shit when you found it, that was clue number one. Then, she came all the way back here to get it. Mind you, Tiana always complaining about having to go home or her moms gon' say some shit."

"So that same day, before she left, we got into it and I was pressing her about spending more time with me."

"She claimed she had to be home so bad but when it came to this phone, she ain't even think twice about it."

"She came back to get it?" She asked amused and I nodded.

"Ain't even acknowledge me though, just came here and asked for the phone." I scoffed, shaking my head.

"Mind you, this shit was ringing all night but I'm like na' I ain't gon' answer her phone. I ain't gon' be on no weird shit. I trust my girl.." I scoffed, throwing her phone in the cup holder.

"Man, fuck her. For real." I spat.

"Pause. You still got it?" She laughed, referring to her phone.

"Yeah.." I trailed off.

"Had to get the drop on this nigga." I explained to her and she raised her eyebrows.

"So you ain't gon' give it back?"

"Nah, I am. When I'm finished with what I need to do though." I shrugged and she couldn't help but to laugh.

"So she let you take it?" She went onto ask, geeking now.

"Man.." I trailed off, looking away from her.

"T know not to play with me, bro." I mumbled, looking out of the window.

"I'a really go there with her." I threatened, just talking shit.

"Have her ass never wanting to see me again."

"That's wild though." Dej went on laughing.

"That bitch really crazy, man."

"Yo." I shot my head in her direction.

"Watch your mouth." I told her, sighing deeply.

Though I agreed with her at the moment, I couldn't let her disrespect T like that. She was my girl for five years, I had to respect her.

"My fault, bro."

"You right. That's my fault. I'm just upset for you." She expressed and I simply nodded.

"I feel you.."

Trailing off, I looked out of the window, tryna figure out my next move. Talking about this shit wasn't doing nothing but making me angrier. I was just ready for somebody to get touched at this point.
