Loyalty

23🧸.

Sharife POV

"Can you at least call me back Tessa, I missy you every day. I can't stop thinking about you. I know I fucked up badly and I sticked with my consequences but when you get this call please call back. Alright bye T" I said before hanging up.

"That was like you're 4th voicemail" Brandon Boston jr says. Brandon is one of my close friends. Even though we went to different schools and we managed our friendship when he came to play for my AAU team in the summer when I was a junior. Me and Brandon been through everything. Getting drafted, losing one of our Closest friend. We miss you Terrence. Everyday. I can call that guy my brother for life.

"So what?" I said wiping my face with a towel.

"That's your 37th voice message this week and it's Wednesday" Brandon says laughing. I mugged him and grab the ball and shoot it and it goes in successfully.

"Sharife you got to realize when to go take the step forward because if you don't you're going to miss out on a perfect girl" Brandon says. I glanced at him and rolled my eyes.

"This will be my first and last time taking advice from a guy who doesn't get no females" I said sighing. I'm usually not even like this. It's Tessa that got me like this.

I grabbed my stuff and we did our handshake before leaving. I'm going to take his word and go talk to her.  I called my flight attendant.

"Hello Mr.Cooper, how can I help today" she says.

"Can you get the jet ready right now, I want to take a trip to West Virginia today" I said.

"That's no problem, the place will be ready by the time you arrive" she says.

"Thank you" I said before hanging up the phone. I stopped at a red light and relaxed.

I'm going to get my girl back

Tessa POV

"Tessa can you please come outta your room for one second" Simone says. I been in my room for the past 2 weeks. I spent Christmas by my self this year and when I had to get food I'll just doordash me some.

"No! Leave me alone!" I said as I sit on my bed putting on Netflix.

"I want to talk to my sister-" Simone Whines. I hate when she acts like a baby she gets her way every time.

I open the door and go downstairs to the living room. I sit on the love seat and connect to the tv so I can finish my episode of All American.

"Finally" A simlar voice said from the kitchen. I rolled my eyes and realize who it was.

"Sharife get out my house! I don't have time for your bullshit apology. You did what you did and you can't go back!" I yelled at him. He acted like he wasn't fazed from what I said because he just sat right beside me.

"Tessa listen to me please" Sharife started but I stopped him from speaking.

"Sharife I don't know why you're in my house right now, Infact I don't know why your still in my face trying to pled your case with me" I said getting loud pointing my finger in his face. He chuckled before grabbing my neck and making me look at him.

"Never put your finger in my face again. I'm tired of you disrespecting me every chance you get like I won't fuck you up in this living room for Simone to hear you" He says lowly. If I wasn't mad at the Nigga right now. My panties would have already been swinging in the air.

"Nigga let go of me. I don't know where you're hands been. Probably could have been in Mrs. Kash dutty self" I said laughing at the last part.

"Ash and I was not a thing when I started talking to you, I jus don't know when I got her pregnant because it doesn't make sense since I made her take a plan B infront of me" Sharife says finally letting go of my neck and sitting down in confusion.

"Why did you cheat Sharife? We had a great relationship going on. Everyone was looking at us like we were a good relationship. Why would you such a thing to end it?" I asked as tears started to drop from my face.

"I didn't cheat, I came back to Atlanta and went to ash..." Sharife started but stopped once he was about to say Ashley.

"So you saw Ashley once you came back from Virginia, nice to know Omar" I said calling him by his middle name

"Lemme finish Tessa. Went to ash only because she said she had to talk about something, I was fully with you and drawn to you by the time so I went over to see if what she wants because that was the last time I was going to see her. I didn't even stay nor sit in her house. She jus got to the conclusion n we started fighting so I left" He says.

"So this could've continued over text or on the phone, you didn't have to go to her house Omar"
I said using his middle name again. He hates when I call him that so right now it would be helpful to do it.

"Stop calling me by my middle name" he said lowly with a bit of annoyance in his bass.

"Whatever you say Omar, are we done here?" I asked. He's taking like I'm going to change my mind. He gets up and wraps his hand around my neck squeezing it slightly.

"Sharife-" I gasped with wide eyes. I quickly shut up once he got towards my face.

"I told you mamas stop calling me that, you got to respect me" he says right infront of my face. I wasn't mad at him right now, I'll be letting him in this water park going on all the rides.

"Sharife you did what you did, It's going to take time before we can be friends again-"

"Friends? Friend- friends?? You want us to be friends?" He asks in two different tones. That's how I know he's mad.

"Yeah Sharife, How do you want us to be after you cheated on me. Not even with a bad bitch" I said.

"You know what? I don't want to be friends with you because I love you Ight. I love you enough that I have problems sleeping without you. Tessa you my rock. I need you Baby" He says as tears starts balling down his eyes. This is the first time I ever seen him cry.

He didn't even speak, he got up and wiped his tears, grabbed his things and left.

I sat there processing what just happened which made me start crying.

I miss my baby so much
