secreto de amor . (SLOW UPDATES FR)

chapter 29

friday, november 24

after the events of thanksgiving/your birthday, everything went back to normal, kinda. your dad and his family went back to wherever without saying a word and your mom was back to herself. the only thing was that you were still wondering if you'd get to meet connie's family.

"yeah they're still here. they'll be here until next week." you were on facetime with connie while getting ready for work. luckily he was off the rest of the week and didn't go back until monday. "shits crazy man. but everyone is surprisingly getting along."

"do the twins get along with your dad?"

"oh yeah, he's good with kids anyway. as long as they aren't his..." he trailed. "anyway, what time you said you go again?" you checked the time and quickly picked up your phone.

"oh shit! i gotta go now, i'll talk to you later, kay?"

"okay, by—" before he could finish his sentence, you hung up and left for work. work was pretty chill and everything so you expected to be satisfied with a good day until someone unexpected came in.

"y/n." briana, zay's current gf and your new step-sister, popped up at your job and you mentally rolled your eyes and what bullshit you'd run into this time.

"can i help you?" she was interrupting you as you were sweeping up your section, getting ready to close.

"are you still fuckin with zayvion? tell me if you are so i can get tf on." you looked up at her.

"you came here...to ask me that?"

"well is it true?"

"no, i'm not fuckin with zayvion. he's my ex and i'm done with him. why you ask?"

"because for one, at the party he almost got into a fight and you were in the middle of it. second, everytime we fuck, he calls me by your name. are you two still fucking or not?" you were surprised but whose name your ex was calling during sex with a new bitch was really none of your business.

"there's nothing going on between us, briana. i promise you that. just leave me alone bout that man please." and with that briana left. you were almost positive she was gonna wanna fight you but she didn't. you guessed she figured out how stupid it would be for her to do that over a nigga you don't even think about.

you got off and you were overwhelmingly tired for some reason and just wanted to get in your bed. but connie texted you, saying he wanted to see you. you were already in your car so you just went straight to his place. you were there so fast, connie answered the door half dressed.

"damn you didn't even text me back."

"i was already on the way, yknow who showed up at my job today?" connie looked around like he was actually trying to figure it out. "zay's new bitch. she come up in there when i'm getting off asking me if i'm fucking her man. first of all, how you know where i work? second, why you come up here to ask me that dumbass shit? if anything, she need to check her man because i have nothing to do with what they got going on." connie just sat there looking at you and listening, absolutely adoring how you spoke. "and it doesn't help that she's my step-sister—"

"sister??" the definitely caught connie's attention.

"yeah her mom is married to my dad."

"oh shit..."

"but i don't even see my dad like that anyway so it doesn't matter."

"can you stay?" you looked at him.

"stay the night?" he nodded as he put your legs in his lap, rubbing them. "why?"

"because i miss you. like a lot. like a lot a lot, like—

you giggled. "okay we get it."

"you miss me?" you wrapped your arms around connie's neck placed a kiss on connie's cheek.

"always." he smiled before pulling away and standing to his feet.

"you're so lovey dovey now. i love it."

"where you going?"

"to get you something to sleep in, you coming?" you stood up too and followed connie to his bedroom. you laid down on the bed as you watched him pull out an oversized tshirt and some old boxers for you.

"i'm gonna go get a pizza, don't leave town." you rolled your eyes as you watched him leave. in his absence, you showered and changed into the clothes. after that, you chilled out on his bed, scrolling through tiktok.

connie came back shortly with the pizza and the two of you started eating on it, occasionally having some conversation in between bites. connie got up to use the bathroom and left his phone. you never cared to go through or touch a dude's phone. it probably would've saved you the heartache if you did but you never cared to reach for connie's phone and he trusted you not to.

but something in you shifted when his phone started ringing. normally you wouldn't blink twice but something told you things were different. you looked to the side to make sure he wasn't coming before leaning over to see who it was. zina was calling him but she wasn't saved as anything more than her name. after it rang, texts went through and there was one that caught your eye so you picked up his phone.

zina
can we talk?
