Charade

Chapter 3

I zoned out. I couldn't think straight anymore. We just met up after a couple of years and she's telling me she loves a girl that everybody around town knows is the biggest hoe ever. Blue was known for playing females left and right. Being one of the best basketball players around here and having the best scholarship to UCONN, she has females begging at her feet. However, I would think Jas has some common sense and know about the real Blue.

"Since when were you gay Jas. I could have swore you were straight."

"I thought that you knew. But I don't know. I guess it happened when I met Blue about 5 months ago. She kinda changed me, but I always saw females as attractive. She broke me out of my shell."

"So basically she's your first?"

"Basically, yea."

"Oh ok. Now it makes sense why you stay. There's a deeper connection." Now I know my chances are running slim.

We continued the conversation while eating our food. She kept telling me about all the good she made her feel. All I heard was trash. Some friend I am. She finally told me that she thinks Blue is cheating with a old friend. She saw a Twitter post of them and they were joking around. She showed me and I wasn't shocked but I put on my best charade. I looked up from the screen and saw the true hurt for a moment. She must have saw me looking and quickly covered her emotions. That's sad. She's been through some serious things to cover her emotions like that.

"Jas. You eventually have to talk to her about it or this suspicion will eat you alive. If she means this much to you, then you guys need to work somethings out. I never liked you sad and I hate it when you are now.", I checked the time, "I hoped I helped you out and I would love to stay but I have to go to work. Text me ok."

She looked sad but nodded her head. I walked to her and gave her a hug. It felt way to perfect now. I let her go and walked off. I don't know how long I can keep up my charade but I'm a try extra hard. Off to work now.

...

All throughout work I received notifications. Most were Instagram likes, but one stood out. It was a text from Jas. Honestly, I didn't think she would text me at all. But here I was after work staring at my phone thinking it was a dream. I replied and we kept a simple conversation during my drive back home. As soon as I pulled up in front of my house she text me saying 'I talked to her.' Well D. Let's see how good of a friend you are. Then she sent one after 'Can I call you?' Fuck! Now this is bad. I told her yea. Seconds later she was calling my phone.

"Talk to me Jas."

"Well I talked to her and we argued. She basically said that we need a break, but before she hung up I heard another voice saying 'Baby get off the phone'. So I texted her after she hung up and told her to forget me and everything we had. She only replied with an ok."

I could hear her voice cracking as she told me what Blue did to her. It pissed me off. Who in their right mind would want to hurt a truly amazing girl like Jas.

I tried my hardest to comfort her over the phone but I planned to see her tomorrow. I pray I can do more than just tell her words.

"D. Can I tell you something?"

"Anything baby girl."

"To be honest. If she apologized and begged for me back. I would in a heartbeat."

Two heartbreaks in one day. That has to be a record. I didn't reply to that comment and with that she told me goodnight and hung up. She fell in love with the wrong one. She fell in love with the one that knows you're wrapped her finger and uses that to do whatever she wants knowing you'll always come back.

If only you knew Jas that I can treat you way better than she can. I can show you what a person does when they truly love you for everything about you and not just for your body. If you only knew that I want to do so much for you and keep that beautiful smile on your face for as long as I'm around.  If only you knew how I really feel about you.

With my new hatred for Blue in the back of my mind and Jas in the front. I drifted into a deep sleep.
