" What did you want me to do ? I was scared. " she said.

THE FAIR,
After shopping and dinner , Don took me to the fair.
" Today was the best day Don " i said, holding his arm as we walking back to the car.
" Why is that ? " He said smiling
" You gave me all your time and attention. " i said.
" You deserve it ma. " He said, bringing me into a kiss.
" I love you Don " I said.
" You know I can't say that." He said.
" Fucking pitiful , Two years of me being by your side , being loyal and you can't tell me you love me ? " i said, tearing up.
" Loyal ? You mean LYING and disrespecting me ? " he asked.
" If you were loyal, you wouldn't lie. My trust already fucked up and you know this. I can't tell no woman i love her and don't even even trust her. " He added.
" you said you trusted me.." i said.
" maybe if you would've just told me the truth, I'd be ight but you took us back. " he said.
" You tell me how much i mean to you but you don't love me ? " i asked
" You just say that shit to make me feel special huh ? Am i just pussy to you ? " I added on.
" You just pussy ? You live with me , I give you what you need and want, Amina. " he said.
" I spend my time with you knowing i got shit to do , business to handle but you just pussy ? " he said, slowly raising his voice.
" That shit means NOTHING. " i said.
" you talking crazy " he said laughing a bit.
" you just keep me around so i can fuck you , buy me shit so i can fuck you , tell me all this bullshit so i can fuck you. " i started to raise my voice a bit , huffing.
" I can get pussy from anywhere , round the damn corner' " he said.
" Go get it. " I said , walking away.
He grabbed my arm and pulled me back. He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes.
" Amina, it's nothing like that. You know how it is. Before i even say i love you back , I just wanna know if it's real " he said.
" I'll wait on that. " i said pushing him back.
" You always wanna move so quick , never let shit— Im done talking about it." I said, walking away.
" Amina ? " I heard a voice call my name, It was my ex, Tariq.
" Tariq, I almost didn't recognize you. " I said.
" It's been a min " he said, laughing a bit.
" Who this ? " Don said walking up behind me.
" Don , This is my ex, Tariq and This is my boyfriend, Don" I said.
" I had a lot of shit to go through dealing with your bullshit , Lucky if i don't lay yo ass out right here. " he said, pushing up on tariq.
" It's good , I never meant to hurt her the way i did and I apologized as long as i could. " tariq said.
" sorry ass nigga " Don said, shaking his head.
" As much as i hated her for cheating on me with you , Im glad she did. She seems happy. " tariq said.
" Hold up.." Don said.
" You cheated on this nigga with me ? I must be hearing shit. " he said laughing.
" shit crazy. " he started to walk away.
" damn, my fault amina. I didn't— Its okay" I cut him off , running behind Don.
" The shit you do in the dark always comes to the light. " He said.
" Don— Shut the fuck up , Ion wanna hear shit from you" he said.
" You was just going off on me bout how i was runnin' game on you but i found about this shit ? I don't even think i could trust you at all, matter fact you can't be trusted." He added.
" Don— say a fucking word to me and i'll do you like your ex did, Im taking you to yo friend shit and ion wanna hear shit from you no more." He said cutting me off.
Tears filled my eyes.
We got into the car and he pulled off.
