secreto de amor . (SLOW UPDATES FR)

chapter 14

you stood in the doorway for a second as you watched your boyfriend being face deep in someone else's pussy. you wanted to cry and lash out but he wasn't worth it, none of this was.

the girl on the bed noticed you and screamed which made zayvion come up and look at you in complete shock. all you did was stand there with the straightest face and arms crossed firm over your chest. the girl scrambled to put her clothes back on and rushed past you and out the door, leaving a naked zay and you in his bedroom.

"who was that?"

"she was..um, nobody. look, baby i'm sorry, she just—" you rolled your eyes.

"if you didn't wanna be in a relationship anymore, you could've just told me." you seemed aloof to everything but a storm was brewing inside. you were angry and sad but you didn't see a point in lashing out and showing it when you could just walk away.

"i wasn't expecting you to stop by—"

"don't. i'm tired, zayvion. don't call me, and i'm blocking you on everything." you left and never looked back.

"welp, looks like we not going to the mall anymore." tia commented once you told her what happened with zayvion. you didn't want his presence to affect how you moved from now on but know that you knew he was still in the area, you'd be lying if you said it didn't bother you or wasn't on your mind. "i thought he fell off the face of the earth for real."

"me too."

"well as long as he don't try anything, it should be okay."

"right." you hummed

tia noticed that you were a bit more down and she knew it was because of zayvion. "girl," she threw her arms around your shoulders and hugged you tightly from behind. "i don't like seeing you like this..."

"like what?"

"sad over an old nigga. why be sad over him when you can be happy about..." she waited for you to finish but you never did. you smiled instead because you knew who she was referring to.

"i'm not sad over him, i just knew i was better off not seeing him." tia understood where you were coming from, she just didn't like the energy change.

"i know girl." tia got up from the bed and put her shoes on, indicating that she was about to leave. "i'm finna go to work, first day. yay..." she said sarcastically.

"good luck pooks," you got up too to walk her out the apartment. you got to the door and hugged her before saying goodbye. jean wasn't there currently because he was also at work. today was your last day off for the week so you really didn't know what to do until connie texted you.

after you responded and later asked connie to send you his address, you went back to your room to slip on a hoodie while you kept your sweats on. you grabbed your keys and headed out to connie's. when you pulled up, connie was already outside waiting for you.

"hey pretty." he greeted as you got out and locked your car.

"hey.

"how was your day?" the both of you made your way into the apartment and connie closed the door behind you.

"pretty good so far. today is my last day off so i didn't know how i was gonna spend it."

"so i came just in handy, huh?" you rolled your eyes before sitting down at his island.

"whatever."

"there you go with that nonchalant shit. i swear, almost nothing moves you." you raised a brow, thinking he was realizing that he had some kind of effect on you. 

"almost? what's the exception?" connie walked over, moves some of your braids away from your neck, and places a soft kiss in the area. you forgot how nice it felt to be kissed there and you could almost melt into a puddle as you felt your body heating up.

"i can literally feel how hot that made you."

"why did you do that?" your hand rested right where he kissed.

"to see your reaction. why? you want me to do it again?"

"um..." you couldn't find words and it was like your brain wasn't even aware of itself. all this and the feelings that you had for connie was supposed to be deaded by now, especially why you got to remembering the girl you saw him with in the store. "no. no thank you." you said quietly.

"you sure?" you nodded.

"i do have a question tho..." you knew he'd probably lie or make up something about it so you were doubting even asking him about it. "i went to the store with jean a couple days back and i saw you in the store with a girl, who was that?"

"my sister, sunny. she and my brother moved back down here to stay with my mom for a little while. we went to the store because she wanted me to make chili." sister. that explained why the touching wasn't really romantic.

"oh."

"and she likes to touch and hug and shit so that's probably what you saw. why are you just now asking me about that?" you shrugged. you were scared he'd lie, that's why.  "you were probably overthinking, you look like a terrible overthinker."

"how can somebody be terrible at overthinking?" connie rolled his eyes.

"no, i mean you probably do it a lot." he was right but you really didn't wanna admit that he was so all you did was hum and be quiet for a few minutes "anyways," connie walked over and picked up two controller from his tv stand. "wanna play the game with me?"

you and connie had been playing various multiplayer games on his playstation and he even taught you the ways of a few new ones. it had been for about 2 hours though so you got bored of that.

"i didn't know you had siblings."

"yeah, sunny and martin are sixteen and twins. normally they live up in new york with their dad but they came down here to stay with mom for a while."

"are you close with them?" connie nodded.

"yeah i'd say so. i just wished i thought about more space for them before i bought this place.." he looked around before landing his eyes back on yours.

"they speak spanish too?"

"no actually. i'm only fluent because my mom and i stayed with my dad in puerto rico for a while before moving here. and when we moved here, my parents separated and my mom met their dad and had them. but then he moved to new york when they were 12 and wanted to take them so he did."

"so you were born.."

"in puerto rico yes." you thought that was interesting. everything connie had told you so far was interesting because it gave even more insight on who he was. "my mom is afro-latina and my dad is, well..latino."

"cool."

"right. aren't you hot? you've had the hoodie on the whole time, you gonna take it off?"

"i hadn't planned to." you wrapped both of your arms around your own torso.

"and why? you not hot?"

"i am but i don't have anything under." you said the last part quietly and obviously connie pretended like he hadn't heard you.

"what?"

"i don't have anything under."

"oh, well you could've said that. i have a tshirt you can put on, hold up." connie got up to get the shirt but it was a bit too oversized and you liked oversized clothes.

"don't you think this is—"

"it's fine, don't worry about it. you're not hot anymore right?" you shook your head. "good. you hungry?"
