TEACH ME NOT 2 HATE LOVE

26

👧Tajea POV 👧

I didn't want to disrupt little Nik's sleep, so I met up with the trash about several feet away.

"Hey," he said casually, as if we were old buddies.

"What do you want, Travis? Correction scumbag?" The very presence of this guy set fire to my soul. That's not a good thing.

"Just come over here to tell you, you are looking gorgeous." Now he's just making fun of me. "You used to like it when I complimented you, remember?"

"Boy, just please get out of my face with that BS before I commit murder," I warned.

"For what it's worth. I'm sorry for what I did." Yeah, right, you are. And the devil is a good guy.

"Is that supposed to make it better?"

"I know it won't. But still, I want to say sorry." Liar, liar, pants on fire.

"Kill yourself, then maybe I'll forgive you."

"Don't be like that, Taiji." He called me by that nickname that he gave me, caressing my cheeks even the way he used to. The way I used to like it. But now that makes my skin crawl. It's like being touched by a venomous snake.

"Don't you dare touch me!" I struck his face and shoved him away from me. His boy choir around back, watching everything that was going on, made a childish Woooo! sound. Grow up, trash. Big, grown-ass man carrying on like children.

"Stop being a crazy b*tch. Here I am apologizing to you, and you are acting in such an unladylike manner." He seemed upset by my action, but he managed to contain himself. For now.

You know what? I don't have to deal with this sh*t. I attempted to walk away, but I felt his strong grasp on my hand before he pulled me closer to his face. "Don't you miss us? Miss me?"

The boy is more sick in the head than I am.

I tried kneeing him where it hurt, but he released me to dodge and laughed like a madman. He's showing off because his boys are here. But my mother always said, Show off, bring disgrace. "I see, you are still a stupid, uptight, classless b*tch."

"And yet you slept with me. What does that make you?" I retorted.

"I wasn't thinking straight that night. And if my memory serves right, you were the one who threw yourself at me."

"And I will regret that for the rest of my life."

"You're lying. You did enjoy it." The ego of this guy. SMH.

"Did you come over here just so you could humiliate me again in front of your friends?" My voice captures the attention of people far and near. Some stop to watch what the commotion is about. Others just go about their business. Even Kenneth got involved. Well, not physically. He just checked up on me to see if everything was well, and I tried to assure him it was, though he didn't seem convinced.

"Who is this poser? Your new BF." Travis decided to pick on the bodyguard and make fun of me and him.

"What is it to you?"

"Is he that much better than I am?" He asked.

"In bed. Yes. He's the don of vaginas. He rocked my world in every sense of the phrase." What am I saying? More like, What am I doing? Am I trying to make this poser jealous and angry? "Unlike you, he doesn't carry a toy gun. He's strapped with the real thing." He's not worth any of my precious time. But I'm so angry at him.

"And you're just a stupid b*tch!" His comeback was very poor. Did I hurt your manhood? You b*tch! How does it feel to be humiliated?

"I will admit, I was a stupid b*tch the day I let you get close to me. But I'm over that now." Not a hundred percent, though. But I'm getting there. "So, I hope you still have that video of us having sex. You know, the one you made so your boyfriends and you could have a jerk-off fest. It's the only reminder you will have of how good it felt to be with a real woman. A woman who once loved you even though your wiener is the size of a shrimp."

It's not that small, but it's not that impressive either. And besides, I don't care about that. I just want to hurt him badly. The way that he hurt me. So I'll use anything at my disposal.

"It's a lie!" He yelled, trying to persuade his friends, who were making mockery of him and his little Wiener. What a bunch of waste they all are. "She's lying!"

"But they saw the video." I throw more gasoline on the fire, and with a smile too. "It was like a little worm. No. You probably won't be able to see it under a microscope. I had to fake it."

"You lying, stupid b*tch!" The frustrated Travis came after me, but Kenneth knocked him down on his ass before he could come close to me. His boys wanted to get involved but hesitated when Kenneth reached for his gun, gearing up to shoot them down if the situation called for it.

Displeased, Travis and his gang left the scene.

Phew! I'm glad that's over. I couldn't let Travis get the satisfaction of seeing me cry. I am crying. It wasn't easy facing Travis again, I must admit. It just reopened the scars I thought I had recovered from. But I've managed to stay strong for as long as I could.

"Are you alright, Ms. Tajea?" Kenneth was concerned.

"I will be. And thank you. I'll appreciate it if you don't mention a word of this to Mr. Phoenix." If Kenneth hadn't gotten involved, I don't know what would have happened.

But most importantly, thank goodness little Nik wasn't awake to see this. By the way, it's time to take him home. It's getting closer to Nik's party time.
