I threw the pillow at Tez's face hoping to wake him up. Unfortunately, that didn't work. So I yelled in his ear:
"Who the hell is Tanya?"
"Baby what the fuck you yelling for?" he woke up saying.
"Don't answer my question with a question. Now who the hell is Tanya?" I completely ignored his question.
"Man why the fuck you going through my phone?!?" he looked at me like I was crazy.
"I didn't, she called and I answered. Guess what the bitch told me?" I was standing now.
"Man calm yo' ass down and Ion give a fuck what she said!" he was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Well Ima tell you anyway," I got in his face. "She said you fucked her a few days ago!" I pushed the hell out of his head.
"Man sit yo' ass down!" he threw me on the bed. "Now yeah, maybe I did fuck her a few days ago, but that was before I met you damn!"
I felt so stupid. I knew he was a hoe but dang! I should've never did it with him the second night if seeing him. I was probably just another number to him.
"Don't listen to nothing she say about that pregnancy though man and I already told you how I live and the lifestyle I live.
"I can't do this Tez...." I whispered.
"So you just gone give up on me and walk away? You gone leave when a problem comes up? You gone leave before we even-" I cut him off.
"Shut up Tez! I refuse to be one of your girls. I said I understand your job and what you do. I never said I approved of you fuckin' any and everybody!"
"Approve? Ion need no fuckin' body to approve shit for me!" he yelled in my face. "You know what...fuck you! I don't need this shit man!" he walked out of my room.
"Who's running away now?!" I yelled into the hallway and slammed the door.
(Quincy "Q's POV)
"Who's running away now?!" I heard from the hallway. I looked out and saw Tez storm into his room. I wondered what they were arguing about.
I walked up to Gyzell's room and was about to twist the doorknob when the door came open.
"Um...you okay?" I asked 'Z' once I saw she had tears on her face.
"Yeah...I...just...need some....time...alone." she said in between cries.
"You sure." I looked her in the eyes.
I hadn't notice how beautiful she was until now. Sure I thought she was pretty when I first saw her, but she was absolutely beautiful, even woth tears rolling down her cheek. I mean, sure Trish was fun, but I wanted 'Z'.
(Gyzell's P.O.V)
I had a feeling 'Q' was looking at my butt when I walked off. Sure he was attractive, especially with that black tank top and gray pajama pants, but I couldn't do that to Trish.
[1 Week Later]
"You gotta pick something cute, girl you gone be around my family!" Trish was acting like I had never met her family. But it had been a long time.
I hadn't talked to Cortez in a week and he hadn't came home either. I like the sound of that... "home". I could finally call something home. Not that place that I ran away from, now I have a stable environment.
But anyways, Cortez hadn't spoken to me, but Trish says that it's normal because he stays out for days at a time all the time.
---------------------------------------
When we got to the house, we went and got dressed immediately. I had on skinny jeans and a black tank top with a black blazer and blavk flats; while Trish had on pink ripped shorts with a white tank top && pink chucks. Once we were.ready to go we both just threw our hair into a messy bun.
We drove to the barbeque in my car. Yes. My car. Trish and Tez's mother let me have her gray Land Rover because her eyes weren't like they use be, and Trish had enough cars she said. So yep, we drove in "my car".
On the drive their we sang along with the music on the radio.
' I don't wanna give you the wrong impression
I need love and affection
And I hope I'm not
Sounding too desperate,
I need love and affection. '
We sang along as Rihanna- Loveeee Song played on the radio.
When we got to the barbeque, there were already a lot of people there.
"Hey uncle T." Trish said as she got out the car.
"Hey sweetie, who's this you got with you?" he asked observing me over his glasses.
"This is Gyzell, remember Netta's daughter." the sound of my mother's name coming out of Trish's mouth brought back memories.
"Oh yes I remember, you look just like her." he replied.
I was uncomfortable with the way he was staring at me.
I cleared my throat. "Um....can I use your bathroom?"
"Sure sweetie, upstairs first door to your left."
I went by his instructions and once I was through in the bathroom, I left out and accidentally bumped into this woman who appeared to be pregnant.
"I'm sorry." we said in unison.
"No that was my fault, I was rushing. My name is Tash."
"No that was all me, I wasn't looking. And my name is Gyzell." I smiled.
We had been walking around and talking for a while now.
"So this dude that you messing around with sound bogus girl." she said making her second plate.
"Yeah girl but he wasn't really my man so...." I replied.
"But still girl he suppose to be there for you."
"Yeah I know, but speaking of being there for you where is your baby daddy?" I asked.
"Girl he be trippin' sometimes but he's around." she said. "And girl I called him the other day and some broad answered his phone, but I know what type of person he is already so....."
"Girl I would've whooped her ass!" I laughed.
She laughed. "I would have but I can't." she said, pointing to her belly.
"Oh yeah Tash, what's yo' man name?" I asked, piling potato salad on my plate.
"Girl his name is-" she began. "Oh wait girl, there he go right there." she pointed.
I damn near passed out when I turned around and saw Cortez. I was froze and I couldn't move a muscle, once we locked eyes. He froze in his footsteps.
Then it all hit me. This was his babymama, Tasha, that I was walking around talking to. I turned around and looked her over and realized that girl on the phone that she talked about was me.
I was numb from head to toe.
