Once I pulled up at the Cafe my mom called my cell. I didn't answer. I hated talking to my mom when I was upset. I needed to clear my head of everything. I entered the Cafe and spotted Patricia sitting near the back by the windows. She stood up and hugged my neck. I took a deep inhale of her perfume. "Sit down, sit down," Patricia said. She was extremely joyful and jumpy. "What's going on?" I said. She held out her left hand and flashed her sparkling, brand new diamond ring. "He proposed last night!" She said. Great, I thought. Fucking great! As much as I wanted to hide my disappointment, Patricia noticed I didn't react. "Erica....say something!" "What is it that you want me to say?" Her face turned red and she gave me a mean look. "I knew you'd react this way..." She dropped her head down and began to cry.
"I'm sorry...I-" "Just stop." She interrupted. I don't care what you or anyone else thinks about Dominic and me. I love him and I am going to be his wife in three days. Whether you like it or not..." "Three days? God, I can't believe what I am hearing right now." "Why can't you be happy for me?" Patricia Said, holding back her tears. "Patricia listen...-" "Mami! Te amo mucho bebe!" Dominic said, as he walked over to us and grabbed Patricia. "Hey Baby! Te amo Papi!" She kissed him and looked at me. I starred at him and rolled my eyes in disgust. "Aye, yo I'm tired of you rolling ya fucking eyes at me every time I come around, you got a problem?" He said. "Yes, I do have a problem. I can't stand your no good, conceited, lying, cheating manipulative ass." I snapped. "Erica stop! What the hell is wrong with you?" Patricia said.
"I can't take this...come on baby let's go" She said, pulling Dominic away from me. I watched the two of them leave as I stood there thinking about how fucked up things had gotten. Patricia may have thought that she was happy, but she was much more deserving of a better lover. Dominic cheated on Patricia more times than I could count, and she still took him back. He was a no good, puerto rican dope boy from Brooklyn. He didnt have any true intentions of doing right by Patricia. How could she be so stupid? I felt as though I was losing her to Dominic. She would always let him get inside her head. Fuck him!
