S'pose To Be

Dominique
Present Day

I stood in the locker room shower & cried. All of this shit going on with Daniel, then Jettie passed a couple months ago. I'm dealing with so much right now. And I haven't even spoken to Vera since I ran out of the hospital. I'm so hurt that she would do that to me. She knew how I felt about Daniel, so why did she do this. AND HAVE HIS FIRST CHILD!!!! I can't never have that with him; that's never going to happen for us.

Pull it together sister! I thought to myself, wiping my tears. I washed up & got dressed. I walked out of the locker room to Daniel leaning against the wall. I sighed.

"Babe..." He pulled me into him. I folded my arms. "How was I s'pose to know you liked a nigga?" I scuffed. "You was shuttin me out & shit..."

"Let me go.." I mumbled as he rested his face in my neck.

"Dominique..." He sighed, groaning in my ear. "I'm sorry."

"Very." I tried pushing him off of me, but he held me tightly, softly kissing on my neck. I sighed, letting the tears fall.

"I ain't wanna hurt you." He pulled away, resting his forehead on mine. He pecked my lips. "That's why I ain't tell you. I knew you'd not only hate me, but Vera." I finally wrapped my arms around his neck. "I swear I ain't plan on fuckin her, I was gettin tired of yo ass ignorin me. She gave me the attention I wanted from you."

"Getting attention doesn't involve you putting your dick in someone." I told him, then pushed him off of me.

"Yeah.." He sighed. I wiped my tears & left.

The whole drive to my apartment, I cried. All this time I thought Vera was being a little hoe, getting pregnant at 16 & by a nigga she "didn't know". But then again, she doesn't know Daniel neither.

"What is she doing here?" I groaned as I saw Vera's car by my parking space. She got out of her car as I parked mine, opening the door & sat on the passenger seat.

"Dominique I'm sorry." She sniffled. I scuffed.

"Get out of my car, Véronique!" I spat.

"It just happened!" She cried. I rolled my eyes. "He was talking about how much he loved you, and that you ignored him. And I was already in my feelings because Gavin got with that hoe Becky.." She looked over at me. "I swear it just happened. And then Jetter...."

"Stop!" I spat. "Just stop!" I got out the car & walked inside my apartment building. I don't need this. All I wanted was a simple loving relationship & I can't even have that because my sister wanted to be a little whore and have sex with my bestfriend.

"Fuck you cryin for?" I looked up & smiled.

"REESE!!" I gasped & ran over to hug him. My favorite person in the whole wide world; my big brother, Christopher. We call him Reese or Maury, because his middle name is Maurice & cause he loves Reese's candy. "What're you doing here?" I asked him, then Daniel came around the corner. I sighed.

"C'mon Niq." Chris shoved me into Daniel. I almost fell, but he caught me. "Talk to him." I turned to look as him.

"You knew?" He shrugged. "AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!"

"AYE!" He spat. "Watch that fuckin tone! And every damn body knew you liked this nigga, so we ain't tell you." I rolled my eyes & walked over to the elevator. I felt a presence behind me.
