As I walked into Felisha's house I saw her sitting in the corner in a fetal position, rocking back and forth; crying. I never saw her like this. I walked over to her and tried to touch her but she moved quickly as a sign she didn't want me to "comfort" her. I sat by her on the floor because I didn't know what to say. She finally looked at me, her face was wet...covered with tears and her eyes were blood shot red.
"It took you long enough you dumb fuck." She said grawling at me.
"I came in, didn't I?" I remarked back.
"15 minutes later." She put her head back in her knees. I felt so bad, I placed my hand on her back. She jumped and shook her head. She turned to look at me again while resting her head still on her knees.
"You promised me you'd leave her." She stated as tears streamed down her face. She paused. "You said you wanted a baby with me."
I thought about it, one night when we were fucking, I was in the moment and I did say that....Shit.
"Um. I'm sorry." I kinda said it as a question.
"You sound unsure....Your lying ass ain't sorry. You wanted this, me- The fuck buddy and Monicka- Your comfort zone. I know Monicka is a virgin and doesn't plan on losing it until marriage. You being the guy you are, you can't stay away for long. You wanted the happiness and pleasure all in one bowl." She yelled at me. She was right, about everything. I felt hella bad.
"It ain't like that." I said.
"The hell it ain't....Shit can't happen if it doesn't involve your precious Mo, the perfect one....But if only she knew you were cheating. If only she knew how big of a hoe you were." She shouted out. She stood up and went toward the phone. I had a feeling she was about to call Monicka. I got up after her and walked to her. I grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"Who you calling?" I looked at her.
"Let go of me!" She said.
"Bitch, I said who were you calling?" I asked her, demanding an answer.
"No one." She replied a bit scared.
"No one has a phone number?" I started to get mad. She didn't say anything.
I got mad but I didn't understand why. I guess because I was having a baby with a chick I didn't even love. A woman with no plans in her life. I was mad because I wasn't having my first child with Monicka. I let go of Felisha and left the house without saying a word. As I walked out the door I heard Felisha crying loudly but I didn't pay any mind to her, I just left. I needed to clear my head. So I drove around thinking on what should I do. I thought about it and decided to just bluntly tell Monicka and deal with the consequences later.
Once I got to Monicka's dorm door, I hesitated to knock. But once I did she greeted me with open arms like she hasn't seen me in years. It made me feel more bad to tell her the truth. This woman really loved me, and I love her. But I go and do this.
"Hey baby!" She smiled at me. "I thought you'd be sleep by now hun, since you got to go to work extra early tomorrow." She closed the door after I walked in and sat at the computer. "What brings you by?"
"Um...We...I mean I have to tell you something." She didn't say anything else right away because she noticed I was serious. So she just gave me that okay tell me look.
I thought to myself it was now or never. I took a deep sigh.
"Felisha is pregnant." An excited look flashed across her face but she had a confused expression.
"Thats great!" Was the first thought she said. "Why are you first to tell me and not her?" She said confused. "But how...um, when did you find out?" She asked anxiously and more confused. She paused for a second. ".....Wait a minute. Why do you sound so disappointed and upset about it?"
I just looked at her, I didn't know how to answer that. She just looked at me, wondering why I haven't said anything yet.
"Ummm. Because." Was all I could think to say.
She looked at me like I was stupid. "Ummmm. Because what?" She said mimicking me.
"Because Felisha's baby might be mine, that's why I'm upset."
The room grew still. Felt like the walls were bleeding- that's how deep the tension was. Then all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain go across the front of my face....Monicka pounded the fuck out of me. I couldn't do nor say anything.
"Oh...you aint got nothing to say now huh?" Monicka noted as she was trying her hardest to not cry.
"I'm sorr---" She cut me off.
"Oh save the bullshit Tyrone Evans." Wow, she said my whole government. Yeah she's mad.
I tried to hug her and let her know I really was sorry but she pushed me away.
"Get out." She emotionlessly said.
"What? Wait..." I tried to plead with her.
"Just go, okay?" She told me.
"Naw, I'm not leaving." I replied.
"Yes, you are!" She yelled as she opened the door directing me to exit out.
I closed the door and locked it.
"Monicka I am not going nowhere." I assured her.
"Yes you are! You told me that you loved me!" She responded.
"I do!" I tried assure her.
"No the hell you don't." She said.
"Don't tell me how I feel okay." I said.
"I'm only stating the obvious Tyrone, you don't love me." She told me.
"I do." I kept trying to plead with her. I truly fucked up. How am I going to get her to stay?
"Then why did you cheat??? With one of my friends!!!?...Well ex-friend." She said.
"I don't know." I replied.
"I know why, its about the sex. Isn't it. Just because I wouldn't fuck, you were willing to go fuck someone else and risk our relationship. You are sucha dog face nigga!" She said crying. "Get out!!!"
But I didn't move, I couldn't lost the love of my life. And due to my desperation- I did something I regret to this day. I back handed her across her face, I watched her fall to the floor holding her face. She looked at me in disbelief. Her tears stopped because she was so surprised. I couldn't believe I did that, I didn't mean that.
"You hit me?" She started to tear up again. She looked up at me angrily. Then she bite my leg hard. I had on basketball shorts that night. So she bite through flesh. That pissed me off, so I bended down and slapped her again.
"Don't you ever do that again, you got it?" I demanded of her.
"Get out before I call the police!" She yelled.
I slapped her again and told her to stop yelling. I got down to her level and looked dead into her eyes while I grabbed her close to me.
"You are not leaving me!" I angrily whispered to her.
She spit in my face....Where I'm from that's a sign of disrespect. For a moment I forgot she was Monicka...I forgot she was a female...And I balled up my fist and I punched her straight in her mouth.
"You lost your mind Monicka!" I replied.
"No! You don lost your motha fuckin mind!" She shouted.
"Damn right, and if I lose you- I'm completely gone lose it." I told her.
"Too late." She mumbled.
"Speak up." I said slapping her again. I busted her lip wider this time.
"Why are you doing this?" She whined holding her lip.
"Because YOU ARE NOT leaving me!!!!! Got it!!!?" I told her without an option of saying no.
Scared, she nodded her head okay. I gave her a hug and kissed her on the forehead, told her I loved her. Helped her clean up and watched her go to sleep and left cause I needed to go to work tomorrow.
