Fooled by Perfection

Chapter 57: Everything in a Nutshell

Shonda's POV:

Sunday morning, when Dezman came out of his room, I decided to be nosey and ask him about Ciana. I had been trying to give them both some time to calm down before I started asking questions.

*Dezman*

I don't know how she's doing. I haven't talked to her. She hasn't been responding to my messages or anything. That shit is starting to drive me crazy.

*Teek*

That's why they do that shit, 'cause they know it's gon' fuck witchu. They do it on purpose, dog. They know we would rather deal with it on the spot and be done with it.

*Shonda*

Well, she ain't gon' be ready to see yo' ass yet. I'ma check on her, though. I know she ain't 'ight, but she needs to know that stress is not good for her or for the baby.

*Dezman*

You know that she tried to tell me that she couldn't have the baby now.

*Shonda*

She said she was gon' abort the baby?? I think it's too late for that now, but I don't know.

*Dezman*

She didn't say those words exactly, but I mean, what other way is there?

*Teek*

She's just pissed off right now. I don't see her doing that for real, even if she can.

*Shonda*

She probably just said it out of anger. She wanted you to hurt, just like she was hurting, and she probably knew saying that would do it. I really hope she doesn't do it, though, 'cause I feel like she would end up regretting it one day. There's nothing but good times and happy memories connected to that baby. Yeah, what y'all are going through now is bad, but y'all love each other, and that feeling isn't going away any time soon.

*Dezman*

Y'all think she gon' forgive me for this?

*Teek*

Yup, I do now.

*Shonda*

I really don't know. I wasn't there to see her reaction to it.

*Dezman*

She was pissed the fuck off. She was saying that I tricked her and that she doesn't even know me now. She is worried that she is gon' get into trouble. She even slapped me in the fucking face.

*Teek*

I know I shouldn't be laughing right now, but I couldn't help it.

*Dezman*

I'm glad you find that shit funny.

*Teek*

'Ey, that shit ain't funny, but I just can't see lil ass Ciana slapping you, dog. You took that shit, huh?

*Dezman*

I had to let her have it. I deserved it. That shit ain't faze me, but I tell you this: a woman in rage will do some crazy shit.

*Teek*

That's crazy.

*Shonda*

I gotta say, I would not expect Ciana to do that, but I am not mad. You definitely deserved it.

*Dezman*

I already admitted that.

*Shonda*

I know. I guess we're just gon' have to see how mad she really is.
