"Damn Rae." Kasim sighed as I finished telling him the story of what transpired between Dominic and me two weeks ago. I had been locked away in my hotel room for the entirety of these two weeks not talking to a soul outside of brief text messages with Mari and Kasim. They were the only two who I had been in communication with because I knew they wouldn't judge me.
I know I was in the wrong for my part in this but I wasn't in the mood for the judgment I knew would come with me telling Dreka what went down. She never knew how to be impartial. It was always all or nothing with her which was annoying. As a friend, it's completely fine to tell me when I'm wrong and call me out on things you don't agree with but she would always go too far. I wasn't in the mood for that so I was avoiding her calls.
I was also avoiding all calls and text messages from Chris. I wasn't sure if he was calling to cuss me out behind Dominic or tell me he wasn't interested in being my friend anymore because of it, so I was just dodging his calls until I could face whatever he decided to throw at me. I felt bad about it, but the guilt of this situation was eating me alive. I wasn't ready to deal with that just yet.
"I can't believe you kissed that nigga Rae! Like damn, not you joining the creep squad." He joked, making me push him on his shoulder as we lounged on the sectional in the seating area of my suite. I had splurged and got a luxury suite since I didn't know how long I would be here. Money was good from me working with HG so I had the income to be able to afford living here for now. I also had a decent amount of savings from when I was working since Dominic refused to let me pay any bills concerning the apartment. Instead of using my checks to buy frivolous things, I saved them.
"Kasim shut up! I already feel bad enough." I sigh looking down at my hands that were placed in my lap. The last two weeks had been extremely hard on me emotionally. I would cry myself to sleep every night and lounge around depressed all day. I had lost count of how many times I had called Dominic but each time the phone would ring a few times and then go straight to voicemail. I was surprised that he hadn't blocked me yet but my calls were still going through fortunately which gave me hope that maybe we could fix this in time.
"I ain't tryna make you feel bad Rae Rae." He pouted as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder making me lean into him resting my head on his side. Over the past few months, he had become a safe space for me. He was always there for me when I needed him and I appreciated that more than he could ever know. "But I gotta be honest wit you and say kissing that nigga was out of pocket. You better than that. That grimey shit not even in your character Rae." He sighed disappointingly, making my eyes blur with unshed tears.
