Bet On It. (Short Story)

"There's no way I could stray, gotta stay with someone like you."






Sienna

"Ok, Mrs. Patterson, I'll see you next week at ten, right?" I smiled.

She nodded her head blowing into a Kleenex. "Please go home and think about going on a vacation. You need it. You've been working hard ever since you're husband died. We'll talk about that some more next session. Have a great week."

"Thank you Dr. Marshall. I don't know what I'd do without your wisdom." She smiled.

"Your  very welcome, see ya next week." I said walking her out. After she left, I plopped back down in my chair and sighed. I love my job and all, but sometimes I just want to quit. It really does get depressing trying to help depressed people that don't want the help, just want to waste they money on sessions that they're so one minded to open up and let go of the past. It's sad and for that, I'm actually thinking about doing something else. Honestly, this was my moms dream for me. She died of cancer last year and now I'm living with the debts of HER dreams not MINE.

"Whatcha thinkin bout baby mama?" Cairo asked steering me out of my thoughts.

"Nothing, what you doing here?"

"Brought you lunch." He said holding up a chiptole bag.

"Mmm chipotle."

He laughed. "Here." I took the bag from him and took my bowl out, yass Lawwd! I was about to crush when I noticed he was about to walk out.

"Where you going?" I asked stuffing my mouth.

"Gotta go hit up the trap."

"Oh, ok. See you later then."

"You still need me to pick you up or Lace got it?" He asked.

"Pick me up."

"Iight, what time?"


"Seven. Don't be late."

"I gotchu ma." He smiled walking out.

I just nodded and kept eating my lunch.

Cairo

"Yo Cai, what you doing here?" Gerald asked.

"Lookin over some shit, I can't check on my shit now?" Yes, Gerald was Sienna's older brother and was older than me, but he's my right hand man, so I honesty don't care how I talk to him sometimes.

"Nigga, don't push shit with me, I'm still vexed bout what you did to my sister."

I sighed. "I'll be in my office." I wasn't tryna hear his opinion on my relationship with Si. We ain't together, and she don't want to be together, so I'm done trying. I'm just gonna support her. That's it.

I sat back in my chair, kicked my feet up, and lit a fat blunt. I was almost finished when I heard a knock and told whoever to open the door. It was one of my hoes that work for me. Trina? Tina? I don't remember her name.

"Sup?"

"Nothing just came to see how you was doin." She smirked.

"I'm under the weather, wanna come fix it for me?" I smirked back.

She didn't say anything else, just got on her knees and did what she had to do.

"Damn ma, that was good and all, but I ain't tryna fuck you. I just wanted the top." I shrugged.

"It's fine daddy, glad I could please you."

I nodded my head, and she left. I checked my phone to see five missed calls and ten text from Sienna, it was eight. Shit! I forgot to pick her up! I rushed out the trap to her job. She was walking outside looking angry and tired. "Shit." I mumbled. I got out the car walking toward her.

"My bad Si, I got caught up with sum." She didn't even acknowledge me, just walked right past me to the passengers side. I sighed,helped her in the car, and got on my side. The drive was silent, I was thinking of ways to apologize, while she prolly was thinkin of ways to kill me. When we got to her house I helped her out. Walked her to the door where she tried to close it, but I stopped it with my foot. "Stop Demitrius." She said using my middle name.

I pushed the door enough to slide in and looked her directly into her eyes, she looked like she wanted to cry. "You boutta cry?" I asked.

"No, now she leave." She said walking away. I grabbed her arm.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You!"

"What?"

"You hurt me all the time and I can't just let go of these stupid ass feelings that I have for you. You were late picking me up from work for what reason Cai?" She asked.

"I was working."


"Bullshit! I smell the perfume all the way over, and that shit is cheap!" She spat.

I sighed. "So what you want me to do Sienna? Huh? I can't wait for you forever, I wanna be with you, but you said nah, now that I'm fuckin with someone else you crying and carrying on, speak up, I don't know what you want,and last time I checked I don't read minds."

"I don't know what I want. I want to hate you, but I love you too much. I never wanted any of this to happen, but now it is and I can't control it anymore." She cried.

"So what do you want baby?" I asked wiping her tears.

"I don't know. I.....
