It had been three days since that random girl answered Brandon's phone. After Hakeem consoled me in the parking lot, he took me home and of course Brandon wasn't there. In fact, he didn't come home until about midnight like he's been doing this past week. I didn't confront him right then and there though because I knew he would just lie to my face and say I was tripping. I was going to play his game, so I could catch him in his lie.
I didn't tell anyone about it mainly because I was really embarrassed. I literally spent four years with this man, stuck with him through thick and thin and this is the thanks that I get? His behavior lately and the woman answering the phone would be enough for any other woman to leave, but I wanted to know with who and why? I wanted to know what was wrong with me...why couldn't he stay with me?
I was currently in our bedroom working on an assignment that was due later on tonight, but my phone rang on my bed causing me to lose focus. Bestie4theRestie💗 flashed across the screen making me laugh because Hakeem and I had an argument about why his name was just Hakeem in my phone.
"Yes?" I answered the phone.
"Well damn hello to you too," Hakeem sounded so offended.
"My bad," I laughed. "Wassup?" I asked him.
"Shit nothing much. Just tryna check up on you since you ain't been answering my texts,"
"Sorry I've just been busy," I partially lied.
"Oh sorry to bother you then,"
"No you're fine. I appreciate you calling though,"
"It ain't a thing. You straight though? You seemed really upset the other day," he sounded concerned.
"I'm fine Hakeem. Just some personal stuff. You know?"
"Yeah I get that. If I need to beat a nigga ass just let me know. Unless it's a female...you can handle that," he said making me laugh a little. My phone rang again, but it was just Hakeem switching it to FaceTime.
"What?" I answered.
"I just wanted to see your ugly ass face," he laughed.
"Boy fuck you and your big ass nose," I laughed along with him.
"Aight you got jokes, but the second someone mention that fat ass gap in your teeth you gonna start crying," he joked with me.
"Aight let me stop. I like my gap anyways," I giggled.
"Anyways I gotta question," I got serious.
"Wassup?" He leaned back against his couch.
"I got this friend who asked me for advice earlier, but I told her I'd get back to her. I just wanted your opinion," I told him then he nodded for me to continue.
"Basically her and her boyfriend are having issues. She thinks he's fallen out of love with her and is cheating on her,"
"What would make her think that?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
