Who Do You Love? (Short Story)

Chapter 3

Brieyon had been doing so good dodging Derrick. She was very proud of herself for how well she was progressing without him. She was finally getting back to her normal self until she messed around and ran into him at Foot Locker one day. She just so happened to be hanging out with G. She tried so hard to get out of range so that he wouldn't notice her but it was too late.

Derrick has already seen her and G out together.  She could tell by the look on Derrick's face that he was not happy about it at all.

Derrick looked from G to Brie Then back at G with a mean mug. "Aye Brie, Let me holla at you real quick" He looked back over at her. With the look on G's face she could tell he was even more pissed than she was. She knew then that G knew exactly who Derrick was. She watched his nostrils flare out as his breathing got heavy.

"Nah Bruh, this my lady now. Whatever you need to say to her can be said while I'm right here." G grabbed onto Brieyon's waist and pulled her closer. She was really at a lost for words and hadn't thought about what she would say to Derrick once she finally saw him again. She just stood back and watched her man defend her.

Brieyon and G had officially been dating for a little over 2 months now. She thought everything he'd done so far had been really impressive. She would hate for him to lose this battle with Derrick so she stayed quiet and watched everything play out.

"Whatever man, Brie you gon let him talk to me like that?" Derrick asked while grabbing onto her arm. She snatched away and G stepped in the middle of them, pushing Derrick back.

"I don't know who the fuck you think you are, but you gon back up off my lady before I fuck you up B!" G became even more pissed. At this point, Brie knew G wasn't backing down and this would not end well for Derrick.

Derrick threw his hands up in surrender and backed off. The staff in the store came over to deescalate the situation. "You got this bodyguard ass nigga tryna protect you but it's coo. This ain't done!" Derrick pointed at Brieyon.

"Yo bitch ass better be done! You got unfinished business with her we can take this shit outside My Nigga. What's up?" G was still trying to get at Derrick. Brie was using every bit of her strength with the help of 2 workers to pull G out of the store.

"Let's goooo Baby! He ain't nobody and he ain't talkin bout nothin." Brie continued to pull G out. "I got you Dude!" G pointed at Derrick and flashed a devilish grin. Brie was really embarrassed that they had just made a whole scene in Foot Locker. All she wanted was a new pair of sneakers.

Later in the day, G thought it was a good idea to bring the situation back up. They were enjoying the day at a Mongolian grill. Breiyon was personally over the whole situation but G still wanted to drag it.

"Where'd you find that bitch ass Nigga at anyway?" He asked giving her a chuckle.

"We went to high school together, but he was such a sweetheart when we first met. Like, I don't even know what happened." She shrugged. She still had no idea where she even went wrong in their relationship. Maybe it really wasn't her, maybe it was him. Maybe he was fighting demons that Brieyon never even knew about.

"Well Sweetheart was bouta get his shit knocked wit his sweet ass." He said and she bursted into laughter. G was always talking shit but she loved it because she would often talk shit too.  "I don't even like to talk about him to people. It's so embarrassing." She shook her head.

"Don't let his dumbass decisions reflect on how you view yourself as a person. I really don't like the nigga though. Honestly, I wanna beat his ass. If he can put his hands on you, he can take this Big Boy heat." G threw his fist up.

"Well it's all over now. I ain't gotta worry about him no more and neither do you. He definitely is a waste of time & bond money. We good!" Brie looked him in the face. It was so hard not to. His face was just so perfect to her.
