"Melissa!" Called Jerome as he started to fix up his trousers. I couldn't give that room the eye contact he wanted. I just looked away hiding my face from him, from her, from that evil room. My heart shattered into a million pieces. My stomach was turning as if there was a black hole sucking my guts and organs into it. I can feel eyes staring at me from where Ricardo was standing. There was to much energy coming towards me from all the different angles which was making me even more sick. Jerome walked up to me and touched my arm as if he was giving me reassurance. Just thinking about him and my sister made my heart throb even more. The touch from his filthy hands made me start to heave and I pushed him away so I could sick out that filthy touch out my system.
"I don't think you should touch her" Ricardo calmly said to Jerome.
"Come out my relationship Ric," Jerome instantly snapped back. Jerome bent down to rub my back while I was puking my guts out.
"DO NOT TOUCH Her Bruv" Ricardo flipped out then started stepping to Jerome. Jerome frowned and then stood up and then they was head to head acting like they was going to fight.
"That's my girl you know" Jerome reminded Ricardo.
"Stop" I weakly announced and they done what they was told. Jerome was trying to be as sympathetic as he can by trying to help me up but I refused to have his cheating hands off of me. Carla looked more irritated then sorry and I couldn't understand. Her betrayal as a sister just made the situation even worst. Melissa thought she changed after the talk they had but I guess Carla fooled her to make her think the impossible. I got up and walked into the bathroom to rinse my mouth meanwhile Carla tried to talk to Jerome.
"Don't you think you've caused enough now" Jerome hissed at her.
"Listen you it wasn't just me putting myself on the line between you and me. Remember the time..."
"Save the details" Ricardo butted in on Carla. I looked in the mirror and saw the state I was. I watched my puffy sore eyes expand and my face looking like it was dehydrated. As I was looking at myself I thought I was tired of looking like the soft victim. If I'm going to be a victim I needed to dominate and look like the strong independent young lady I really am.
"I can't believe you snitched on me!" Jerome fired at Ricardo.
"And I can't believe you are stupid enough to risk a strong relationship, with a world class, actually she's more special then that. Melissa is like an angel sent from above. Well... That's how she feels to me but you... You must think she's one of them girls who just look good on your arms when really and truly you don't love her, you don't care about her" Ricardo preached.
As I was about to go out there the conversations they had between each caught me of guard and I stood near the opening of the door I can ear drop.
"How can you say I don't love her? Other then this mistake HOW can you say I don't love her" Jerome said.
"Because you got in the mess and you knew it was wrong and you still didn't stop" Ricardo replied.
"She deserve better man" He added.
"What? Someone like you?" Carla butted in.
Jerome laughed at her.
"What you trying to say?" Ricardo said getting defensive and the Jerome stopped laughing and got serious.
"Your taking the piss!" He shouted at him.
"And on top of that you're suppose to me my..." He stopped. He took a deep breath because he realised how angry he was getting.
"I'm sorry but really really care about her. I can't help my feelings. But it happened for me to be in love with your girl" Ricardo said in a bold tone with his head up like he was proud to say the words that came out his mouth.
"I knew it" Carla said.
"No one wants to hear you right now" Ricardo said screwing her.
"Erm.. You are irrelevant" Carla fired back at him.
"You and my sister can go away and have a nice life. You lot suit and blah blah. So me and Jerome can carry on doing us". Jerome walked away like he didn't hear she just said.
"What do you take this for?"
I came out and slammed the bathroom door opened. They all looked at me with my puffy eyes and my face that looked very ill. I confronted my back stabbing sister.
"I'm not doing anything" Carla struggled to reply as she was a little intimidated.
"You're sleeping with Jerome Carla. You're suppose to be my sister, why would you do that" I croaked.
"Save the sad story Melissa. I'm sorry it had to be like this but I love him"
"What?!" Jerome snapped.
"I said..." Carla started to say.
"I heard what you said. I don't love you Carla" Jerome said defensively.
"Yes you do! You've said it to be before"
"When!"
"When we was getting it down".
I walked away. It was too much for me to handle.
"Baby I can explain" Jerome said softly to me. I sat on a chair and covered my face from the embarrassment. I felt Ricardo come to comfort me which I really needed.
"Carla I don't love you. What I'm about to say may not fix things or make this situation any better for all of us but this is why things got sticky in the first place" Jerome said but I still hide my face.
"Basically I went into a phase where I needed pleasure and cause I wasn't getting it, I started to go a bit crazy in the head. Carla had be trying have sex with me for a long time and I've always turned her down. I didn't want to tell you because I'm not evil like that and I didn't want to stress you. But the first time when she got me when I was going mad in the head. Everytime me and her was doing it I'd think of you throughout the whole thing. That's why I probably gave it to her really good and told her things like I love her but it's you I love Melissa"
I put my head up to look at him and he seemed really sorry and like he was telling the truth. Carla's face looked so angry and upset.
"I was going to... you know" I softly said.
"I know and I was waiting patiently. Just this had to happen and now I've messed up everything" Jerome said.
"So you was thinking of Melissa the whole time" Carla asked.
"Yes" Jerome assured.
"But it not like you and Melissa is going to have a baby" Carla added.
"What baby?" Jerome questioned.
"Me and yours" she cunningly said.
