Complicated love ( closed )

13.

The next day.
Cyn:

I kept replaying with Joe said in my head over and over again, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I wanted to go off on Erica so damn bad, but I didn't have proof that she was cheating on me. I decided to call my friend Fatima from back home, to talk about everything.

"Hey Tima, how've you been? I miss you so damn much."

"Hey baby, I'm actually doing really good, I miss you too, when are you coming back to visit? You know we all miss you."

"I miss you guys so damn much, I have so much to tell you, it's crazy."

"Girl spill, you know how much I love tea."

"Okay well I've been with this girl named Erica for a while. Everything was going good, and then she cheated on me."

The tone in her voice changed.. "She did what?! I'll fuck her up."

"She claims that the dude took advantage of her. But anyways, I met this dude named Joe, and he's super sweet. Real chill, I can talk to him about anything. But yesterday he told me that Erica was cheating on me again, and I blew up on him...."

"Oh wow....... Why'd you blow up?

"Because I know he likes me.... And I sort of like him... And I ... I just didn't want to believe that Erica was messing around again, because I don't want to look dumb. I really like this girl and I want it to work out so bad..."

"Cyn..... You've never been like this about anybody... What makes her so special?"

"That's just it. I don't even know. It's like she has some type of hold on me. I want her... Bad."

"I think you want the person who you think or want her to be.. In your mind you made her into this perfect person, but you're not facing reality, and seeing who she truly is..."

The line got quiet for a moment. "well Tima I have to go back to the shop, I'll call you later love you.

I hung up the phone, knowing that I was lying. I knew what she was saying, was the truth, but I wasn't ready to face it.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Later that night:

Erica came over, and was all over me. She brought food, flowers, and movies, and we cuddled up on the couch, eating and watching the movies.

Erica:

"Baby I've missed you sooooo much, I don't want us to fight anymore, I want us to be good." I said as I pouting.

"I don't want you to fight anymore either babe."

"Good, so we're good now?"

"Not until you promise me, that you won't see rich anymore." She said with a serious look on her face.

"Baby you know I can't do that, I have to work with him babe, don't forget that.

"Well I don't know if I want a relationship with you anymore..."

My eyes grew, and I felt my heart drop. "Cynthia you don't really mean that...."

"I do Erica. It's either me or him... You think I trust you after that shit happened?"

I felt myself getting angry. "I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED! YOU CANT BLAME ME FOR HIS SHIT!"

"I don't know who you're talking to... But you can leave with that attitude."

My eyes got watery, and I grabbed my stuff and headed to the door, Cyn was behind me. She held the door open for me, and slammed it shut right behind me.

I cried the whole drive home. I wasn't ready to choose between Cyn and rich..".
•••••••••••••••
Cyn:

Erica left, and I have no fucks about her leaving. I called Joey, and surprisingly he answered and agreed to come over.

Fixing myself in the bathroom, I heard a knock at the door. Opening the door, Joey was standing there with flowers, and I jumped on him, kissing him.
