The ride to Nyla's place had been silent from the moment they got in the car together, with the only form of contact being the two of them occasionally looking at each other. For the entirety of the silent ride, Nyla had been mentally preparing herself for something to pop off. She couldn't understand what was taking him so long to say something but she knew when he did, Monte wouldn't hold back on her.
The car came to a halt at the light, and it felt like the tension between Nyla and Monte was increasing. All that was on Nyla's mind was how much Monte had seen. She was unsure about it since he hadn't spoken a word since he found her with Mari. The only thing she had to go off of was the looks he gave her, but even those were unreadable. "Baby, can I-" Nyla broke the silence but was immediately cut off by the loud honking that came from the car. "Just shut up. I don't feel like hearin' you talk to me 'bout that shit, just shut up." Monte waved her off, unwilling to hear what Nyla had to say since he felt it was bullshit.
"We eventually have to talk about it though. I'm not gonna sweep it under the rug because I can see that you're visibly upset," she began, observing his facial expression and taking note of how tense it was, "Nothin' happened between me and Mari. W-We was talkin' briefly but got caught up in a longer conversation."
"Brief conversation? It always seems like y'all are havin' a conversation, especially after I told you to stay away from him, ain't that right?" Monte's laugh was bitter as his foot gradually set down on the gas pedal harder. He gripped the steering wheel while his mind was intruded with images of every time he caught Nyla with Mari.
Nyla couldn't deny how guilty it all seemed from the outside looking in, but she couldn't be upset at Monte's anger. Especially after what happened between her and Mari. She felt even worse for lying about it but it scared her to think about what would happen if she came forward to Monte, someone who was known for blowing little things out of proportion. So what would happen if she told him something huge like that?
