Right Beside You

Joanna

"You dirty little liar!"

I shouted at Jarred as he ate the rest of the chocolate cake that my mama dropped off last night.

"JoJo I can explain"

Jarred replied with a mouth full of MY chocolate cake.

I held my hand up and said.

"Sir, don't you dare try to mean girl me. I not Janice and you for sure are not Katie"

I stormed off to my room and closed the door. My mother had made me a chocolate cake as a congratulations gift for finally passing the state board pharmacy tech exam. I'm now a state certified pharmacy technician which means more money honey.

It also means I can work for any company in my state with no issues and get paid them dolla dolla bills yo!

I ate most of the cake last night and some more today, because it's so fucking good, and I asked Jarred to cut me a piece and he said I had eat it all. I should have known I couldn't trust him when it came to my mother's cake. We have got into several times behind her cake.

"Peaches! Open the door please"

Jarred whines as he repeatedly knocked on my door.

I roll my eyes and get up then unlock my chair, swing it open. Jarred stands their in all his handsome glory holding a chocolate cake with one slice missing.

I snatched the cake from him and walked over to my bed and began to devour it.

"When you were taking a nap. Mama dropped off another cake. She made two this time because she knew we would fight"

Jarred whispered out as he sat next to me on the bed. I laughed then handed the plate to him so he could have some.

Jarred and I have been thick as thieves since we were little.

I have always had feelings for Jarred but never acted on them because I always allowed my insecurities to get the best of me. In doing that I ended up dating a jerk named Donell for three years and he broke my heart completely, giving me some bullshit ass excuse that there was a lot of lust inside of him, and he needed some time alone.

I knew he meant he wanted to be single and just fuck on bitches. How can you claim to love someone so much but in the same breath pretty much say they're not good enough. Jarred molly waped Donnell's trifflyn ass, to make matters worse my dad felt that Donell could do no wrong in his eyes.

When we broke up my dad told me that a man needs to be able to make sure he has no regrets. He went on to say that I should just wait for Donell, and just continue to live my life, when he was ready to be a good husband to me.

My mother was furious and they haven't been right since. My mother is very old school in some of her beliefs, but she has always wanted better and more for me.

She never really cared for Donell but she saw I was happy or so she thought. Once Donnell and I broke up, I realized how toxic he was. He would constantly make me feel bad because I happen to be very tall for a woman, I stand about 6'0 even. And I'm thick as well, he would make snide comments about my weight or height saying it's not normal for me to be as tall as him.

He would get pissed off when I wore high heels as well.

Him constantly putting me down made me feel small and affected my self esteem. When he broke up with me it took me a minute to get over it, Jarred never left my side and would always tell me how beautiful I was and that he thought that I was a wonder at my height and weight.
