Hate That I Love You

Damian

I was getting tired myself after baking all those rolls. My phone vibrated in my pocket. When I checked it was Mona letting me know that she had left and thanked me for inviting her to such an exciting party. She left the 'drooling" emoji at the end of her text. I don't know why she said it like that, but alright. Hopefully, I can meet up with Leila afterwards, because I'm definitely in the mood to take another edge off.

I might have to keep my distance since her fake ass boy toy is around, so I need to be real stealth. I was on my way to use the bathroom until I heard, "let me go." I looked at one end of the hallway and saw the photoshoot on the left and to my right I see Lorenzo gripping Leila by her arm.

I strode closer and closer when I heard him pretty much call Leila a bitch. It was up at that point. "Ayo! Who the fuck you think you talkin' to?!?"

I watched as Leila roughly snatches her arm from Lorenzo. "Ohh, Damian. Cuginooo. Me and Leila were just having a discussion, so be a gentleman and stay out of it."

"Nah." As soon as I was close enough, I moved Leila out of the way just in case. "I don't think so."

Lorenzo squinted at the both of us. "Are you serious? Are you fuckin' him?" Leila was hesitant. When I saw the look on her face, she seemed shaken up after he just had his hands on her. I don't know what he told her before I came, but I'm sure calling her a bitch wasn't the only thing he said. "I should've known you would cheat on me, too. I thought you were different."

"Cut the fucking act Lorenzo. As if you ain't still fucking Ava. You ain't slick, dude. I saw your car. Look, you've been a snake and will always be one. Quit playing and be forreal."

Lorenzo ignores me and looks back at Leila. "So that means you got your memories back. Damn. I was afraid for this. I should've bought more."

"Excuse me?" Leila confronted. More what?"

"Fuck it. We're in the open now. Since we're exposing truths. You know those pills I was giving for those headaches a while back? Yeah, they weren't just for sleeping, honey. It's zolpidem. A heavy drug used for sleep.... And amnesia."

Me and Leila were left in shock.

"Whewwww! That felt good. Y'all don't feel a rush? Shit, I do."

"You're crazy."

He laughs hysterically. "Very, but at least I got what I wanted. Well, half of it at least. Damn, you know I really could've abused that pussy down to the ground, but you just had to dive into my business, huh Leila. That's why I kept giving you those pills. The more you questioned, the more I gifted. You would never be back with Damian if I had just followed schedule, but I fucked up...... Oh well!"

"I should kick you in your fucking teeth." I threatened.

"I'm supposed to be scared of you, Damian?"

"You can feel how you want, but there's three things in this world that I don't play about. My respect, my family, and sure as hell my future wife." I removed myself out of my jacket.

"You really wanna do this here? In front of everyone?" He smirked.

"Does it look like I give a fuck?"

"Damian." Leila's sweet voice calls out to me. "No, baby. Please. Not here." She wraps her hand around my left arm. Fuck. It's been a while since I got my hands dirty. I've been waiting for Lorenzo to be my next victim ever since my mother's birthday party. Now that I know this big ass bomb he just dropped, I have to let it go? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

"You're lucky. She just saved your life." I allowed her hand to interlock with mine as we attempted to return back to the party.

"There's plenty of things I'm grateful for when it comes to Leila. Especially that... sweet and tight  pussy of hers." I cut my eyes back to him and snatched my hand from Leila's as I stride my way back to Lorenzo.
