Where the hell are they? I thought to myself, How could Vickie be so oblivious to what's going on?

"Want me to make you another drink?" Vickie asked.

"Yes, please." I said, taking out my phone to text Lyla.

Where the hell are you?

"Here you go," Vickie said, handing me the drink, "What could be taking Lyla and Alex so long?" 

"I have no idea," I said, shaking my head. Suddenly, Lyla and Alex walked into the kitchen. Alex with the charcoal and Lyla with this grin on her face. I looked at Lyla and all she did was wink. I tried to hide my disapproval but it was written all over my face. Alex gave Vickie a kiss on her cheek after no telling what she and Lyla were just doing. I took a sip from my drink. I have to get out of here. I texted my friend, Stacy, to call me about some fake emergency. In two minutes flat, she was calling me. 

"Hello?" I said, playing it off, "Really? Right now? I'm on my way. Okay, okay. I am now," I said, as I ended the call.

Lyla said, "Is everything okay?" with a worried look on her face. 

"It's just some business I have to take care of," I looked at Vickie, "Vick, I really appreciate what you put together this evening but I - we really have to go." I got up and kissed her on the cheek. I didn't dare say anything to Alex. I couldn't respect her.  

I walked out of the kitchen towards the door in a fake hurry and Lyla followed behind. When we got into her car, I gave her the nastiest look.

"You're so nasty," I said, rolling my eyes, "Poor Vickie. You have no heart." 

She sighed and said, "Alex and I didn't do anything, A." 

"Who do you think you're talking to? Some bitch you just met yesterday? You keep forgetting? I know you, L. I know what type of person you are. I can bet my last fucking dollar that y'all did something. How can you just smile in that woman's face knowing what you're doing?" 

"Chill, A, damn. You act like you're Ms. Goodie-Two-Shoes over there. You're all "above it all" now but I remember just a few months ago, you were doing the same shit I'm doing now. The difference between you and I is that you played it like she was in love with you like you were in love with her and I call it like it is. Alex and I are just fucking, no strings attached." 

I sucked my teeth, "Whatever, man." She had a point though. However, when Justine and I got together, I didn't know she was engaged to another woman. I stayed with her even after I saw her and her fiancé at the mall, holding hands and kissing on each other.  I was so in love with her at that point that just about anything she had said or done to me, didn't matter. I had this belief in my mind that she was in love with me, too. However, she didn't and when I finally realized that, I was hurt. That's why I hate that Lyla and Alex are doing to this to Vickie. Someone who has always been a sweetheart to us.
