Page 41 of Loving a Libra
“All her shit is gone, bruh. I mean everything.”
“Damn.”
“That’s all you can say is damn?”
“Nigga! I’ve been saying a lot of shit for a long time, and you chose not to listen. I don’t know why you’re surprised. She should’ve left a long time ago.”
“Damn, nigga. That’s how you feel?”
“How do you expect me to feel? I’ve watched you do her dirty since day one, and I been warning you to chill since day one. If you want sympathy from me, I ain’t got shit for you.”
I ended the call and was low-key pissed Maurice had called me with that bullshit. I looked at Devyn, and she was grinning like she’d just won some money, which caused me to smile as well.
“That was hilarious. Did you hear the desperation in his voice?” she asked.
“I couldn’t miss it. He’s stressed the fuck out and deserves every bit of stress he’s feeling and more.”
“Do you think he’ll press you when you see him?”
I shrugged. “If he does, all he’ll get is, ‘I stole your girl right from under your nose, got her pregnant, and I’m about to change her last name.’ I got nothing to say to his ass.”
“Whew! That would be cold.”
“Just say the word, and he won’t have to press me. I will voluntarily share that information.”
“Nah. I still want to be a little more subtle. I’m sure his next move will be to go to my job. Besides HR, only two people know I changed hospitals, and I trust them not to say anything.”
“It’s against the law for them to give that kind of information out anyway.”
“True. Let’s keep his ass guessing a bit longer.”
As we were talking, I got dressed. I needed to stop byERLto check on a few things since I hadn’t been there in a few days. I also needed to stop by my condo to pack a few things to bring home, because all I had was what I’d packed for D.C.
Devyn walked me to the door, and we embraced.
“Are you planning to wait up for me?”
“I’ll try, but I’ve been exhausted these past few days.”
“Our little nugget is already kicking your ass?” I rubbed her still flat stomach.
“I guess so. If I’m asleep, you can always wake me up.”
She reached between my legs and grabbed my dick.
“If you keep playing with me,ERLwill have to wait until tomorrow.”
“You go take care of your business and hurry home.”
“Damn! That sounds good as hell coming from those sexy lips.”
We kissed, and when our lips parted, she said, “I’ll be waiting.”
“I love you.”
“I love you more.”
I waited until I heard the locks on the door before heading to my car. Once inside, I said a prayer, asking God to give me the patience and strength to deal with Maurice if he was still on that bullshit.
