"This man was a whole pimp? Nadi why do you have the worst taste in men, first it was Theo then that married man, Adonis stupid ass now-"
"Okay Lo, I get it." Nadi pouts and sits back in her seat then begins to look around the busy sidewalks. Her honey eyes soon shift back to her best friend who she thought would help boost her mood but all she did was make her feel bad about herself.
"But Silvester is different than them." Her dainty fingers reach for her glass of red wine that she'd been nursing for the last thirty minutes.
"Of course he's different, he was pimping women out at some point. The other guys were just imbeciles." Nadi tucks her lips and meets Sloane's dark brown eyes. She left out key information that despite everything, she still wanted to be with Silvester.
"He's treated me better than any guy I've been with, Lo."
"Okay and! The man was once a piece of shit and I don't know...I'm all for forgiveness but how exactly can what he did be forgiven?" Nadi simply shrugs because part of her did agree and understand where Sloane was coming from but still, she was going based off the Silvester she knew today.
The Silvester she knew was nothing like the one he described to her, but it was still a version of him that once existed and two years didn't seem like much time for someone to do a complete turn around.
The possibility is there.
However, if he were back in therapy and just now telling her about his past that meant that there was still work that needed to be done.
The million dollar question was, would she be willing to stay around while he continued to better himself?
Could she handle finding out more about his dark past or was she in over her head?
"He's trying, he's in therapy-"
"So you know how many men go to therapy only still to be fucked up mentally, what if one day he just snaps and now you're the next woman he's pimping out?" Nadi slouches in her seat at her best friend's question. In her eyes she knew Silvester well enough to know that he'd never do that to her, but saying that out loud would make her look insane.
"You've been dating him for MONTHS!! and now he decides to tell you, that doesn't seem suspicious to you??"
"Lo-"
"Answer the question. Nadi. That's not a red flag at all?'
"No-"
"Oh please! Is it the dick, money or you just being delusional?! Are you really going to sit here and act like you really know this man because you don't! All that time you've spent with him and you had no clue that he was that way, he hid it from you and you're over there thinking about staying with him....aren't you?" Nadi bites her bottom lip then shrugs. She didn't know how to answer the question and quite frankly...she didn't want to.
