Page 43 of I Heard It All Before

“But you love a nigga though,” Cam said, shaking his head in disgust.

“I do love you, but I love me more. I’m sorry Cam, but broke just doesn’t look good on me,” Asha said, telling him exactly what he wanted to hear.

“Cool,” Cam replied as he walked away and went to the living room, with Asha following right behind him.

“Cool?” Asha yelled as she walked behind him. “Is that all you have to say after all the years we’ve been together?”

“That shit must not mean much to you either since you’re leaving.”

“You’re not doing anything to make me stay. I’ve been telling you to call Lo for months, but you’re too stubborn to listen.”

“Nah, I’m good on Lo. I don’t need that nigga for nothing,” Cam assured her.

“Who are you trying to convince Cam? I saw your bank statement boo. You’re a few dollars away from being in the negative,” Asha laughed.

“You’re right, but maybe I can save a little since I’ll only have one mouth to feed now. You need some help with your bags?” Cam asked, wiping the smirk from her face.

“Fuck you, Camden!” Asha spat angrily.

“Nah, you did that this morning, so I’m good,” Cam smirked.

“I hope you enjoyed it because you’ll never get it again!” she yelled.

“I don’t want it,” Cam said, hurting her feelings.

There was nothing that he could say to make her stay, but Asha at least wanted him to try. He was too nonchalant about everything, making Asha really want to hurt his feelings.

“Good because my new nigga is tired of sharing me anyway,” Asha smirked.

“Make sure you thank that nigga for me. He helped me out more than he’ll ever know,” Cam replied with a knowing smirk of his own.

“Fuck you, with your broke ass. And for the record, my man, not my brothers, is the one who makes sure I’m good. Unlike you, he’s not afraid to grind and make money. He’s making more money with Lo than you ever did,” Asha spat as she grabbed her bags and headed for the door.

“That’s what’s up,” Cam said, pissing her off with his uncaring attitude.

“And that apartment that your penniless ass couldn’t afford, I’ll be moving in there with him,” Asha said with a victorious smile.

“Congrats,” he replied nonchalantly.

Cam wasn’t the arguing type, so he let her talk and curse him out until she got tired. As soon as she had all her stuff in the car and left, Cam grabbed his phone and called Demi.

“Hey Cam,” Demi said, sounding excited to hear from him.

“What’s up with our apartment that we’re supposed to be looking for?” Cam asked.

“Huh?” Demi questioned.

“Huh, my ass. You said that if things didn’t work out with me and Asha, then you and I would be roommates,” Cam reminded her.

“What happened with you and your girlfriend?” Demi inquired.

“Meet me for breakfast, so we can talk,” Cam requested.

“Same spot?” Demi asked.

“Yep,” he answered.

“Okay, I’m leaving now,” Demi assured him before she hung up.
