In His Mind

GIANNI

I looked at my phone as my blood boiled. I threw it across the room and screamed trying to let some of the rage out. I can't believe he did a fucking interview with her. I can't believe he said she was his first love. All that bullshit had people coming for me and I was livid.

"Can you really be mad?"

I snapped my head towards Rayna who was still watching the video on her phone.

"Are you serious?"

"Gia be real" Rayna shrugged "He could've let her air your shit out. You was his side chick that he cheated on his first love with. Instead they didn't even mention you. Michi has definitely changed I will say that"

"Fuck that bitch! She was the reason we broke up in the first place! She was always trying to get him"

"Or you were always in some older nigga face" Rayna rolled her eyes "My cousin head was so far up your ass but you didn't appreciated it because you liked attention from niggas who could buy you shit. I'm not finna sugarcoat it so you can feel better. At the end of the day I don't like the bitch but you was trash back in the day"

"Whatever. Fuck you Rayna"

"I'm not finna let you act like my cousin did you wrong when he didn't. Hell I could've jumped on Beyonce's internet like yo people did and told it all but you my girl. All I'm saying is cut him some slack. He made sure you weren't disrespected. Hell Michi talk like yall cordial or something. So I'm not seeing the problem"

"The problem is she's fucking back in our lives! The baby wasn't even supposed to be his! He was supposed to leave that bitch alone and we be happy! Now? Now I have to deal with them spending time together! Deal with her slick comments and bullshit! She aint fooling nobody! She wants him back to play family with her bastard baby"

"Aye" Rayna snapped "That's my cousin's daughter! Don't get fucked up too. You can't be mad. Devonte told everybody he fucked Michi and that was his baby. We all believed it. It was a lie. Get over it. Be mad at Devonte"

I didn't say anything else because she was pissing me off. She didn't understand. I decided to just bounce. I started driving and decided on my next destination. Being back in the boot gave me time to think of a plan. I wasn't about to throw away everything I built with Rashaad and that bitch definitely wasn't going to take it away from me. I decided on my next destination and stopped before preparing to make the slight drive. I turn my location off before I hit the road again.

Michiko and Rashaad's interview played over and over in my mind. How could he say all that bullshit about her. We were first loves and he was the first man to really love me for me. I know he was mad but for him to embarrass me was bullshit. I did everything I could for us. I dealt with cheating and all kinds of bullshit in college. Everything he wanted I did. Every fuck up he mad I forgave. I was in full tears when I finally pulled up. I locked my door before getting out and heading to the side door. I knocked and waited until he opened it.

"I figured you'd be here eventually"

"Shut up" I pushed pass him going to his man cave

"How you figure I was here?"

"It's your off season" I rolled my eyes "You always come here"

"Gia what do you want forreal?"

"I need stress relief"

"You married. What happen to this being done once you got engaged?"

"I don't care Devonte! Damn! You gone fuck me or not?!"
