Not My Parent's Favorite

Chapter 32

Randall

I tried to get in touch with Jeffrey, however it seemed as though he had blocked my number, which gave me the indication that I needed to prove he was the one to let Marianna know about he and I as well as Dion. Dion hadn't said anything about conversing with her, but I can't assume that he hadn't. All of this shit was happening at the wrong time, I didn't want to draw attention to myself with my Father already having the media after his ass, the last thing I needed was to have my marriage broadcast all over for the public to see.

Marianna had left for the day taking the kids to her parents while we cooled off for a while. I knew she was upset, especially since she had left the house, which is something she normally does not do. Fabian called me asking if I could come for a visit, as much as I wanted to, I decided to slow down a bit before things got over to Dion. I knew he would be dramatic if they did.

Dion was in a different mood when I arrived, he seemed more quiet than usual which worried me a bit as he is never quiet. I walked into the condo as he sat quietly on the couch, he didn't even acknowledge me as I walked in.

"Are you mad at me too?" I asked. I was at the point if I was going to get caught up, I might as well lay all of my cards out on the table.

"What do you mean, too?"

"Marianna is upset at me."

"About what?"

"What do you think? Did you tell her about us?" I spewed at him. He shot me a look; he was upset I accused him of doing such a thing.

"I could have a long time ago, Randall. Why would I wait until now to say something?"

"I figured you were mad at me because my Father was out with your Mother."

"We squashed that the last time we spoke, didn't we?"

"Yeah, but,"

"No, uh-uh. We ain't going there."

"Well she got the info from somewhere."

"Maybe Jeffrey?" He blurted.

"How do you know?" I asked, looking at him. He cut me a look that led me to believe he knew more than what he was saying.

"Jeffrey has been very talkative."

"How so?"

"So much so Marianna called me." I looked at Dion and examined his face to see if he was lying, but he wasn't. I had been with him long enough to know, he was telling me the truth.

"That bastard!" I yelled. I knew Jeffrey was behind all of this shit.

"Why didn't you tell me you were with Jeffrey before me?" Dion asked.

"Does it really matter?"

"Yes!" He yelled.

"How in the fuck does it matter? He was before you!" I raised my voice.

"It's nice to know if I have to compete with a jealous lover or not!" Dion snapped at me.

"He's not my lover! I never slept with him!" I screamed back.

"Then why are you being so secretive about him?" he asked.

"Because, he's jealous of you." I admitted.

"Of me?!" He was taken back.

"Yes. Jeffrey and I were in a relationship before I was ready to be in a relationship." I started. "I didn't want to admit that I had feelings for him but I admired his courage to be out and proud. But my Father would never allow me to be out and open like Jeffrey. So I ended our relationship before it really got started. We were never intimate with each other."
