Reality (Sequel to Future)

Chapter Thirty

*Devin in MM*
Did I just hear him right? Take out Chresanto?...As in kill him? Hell no. I pushed Devin off of me.

"Devin, what are you talking about?" I asked.

He frowned at me as if he had no clue why I had become so upset.

"He's the only thing standing in the way of us being together. I could take over his business and make us twice as much money as he bringing in right now"

I was in shock. He was really trying to do this? Just get rid of Chresanto and start a family with me like it was nothing.

"H-He's Deon's father" I said.

"Deon ain't even gonna remember that nigga, man. I can be his new daddy"

I twisted up my face at him.

"I'm not leaving my family for you, Devin. That just can't happen"

"Why not? I was close last time"

"Last time?" I repeated.

"Yeah. I'm the one who sent them niggas to jump him"

Hearing it from Chresanto was one thing but actually hearing the words come out of Devin's mouth was a whole other thing. It made me realize how naive I had been all this time to think that Devin, a man that I had only known for a few months, was incapable of doing something so ruthless. And the fact that I had just slept with him even after Chresanto told me about what he did made me feel no better. What the fuck was wrong with me?

"You told me you didn't do that" I said in shock.

"That was before I knew you loved me back" he said cupping my cheek affectionately.

Back? He loved me?! I smacked his hand away.

"I love Chresanto, Devin, not you"

"That's why you're still fuckin' with me even after he told you to leave me alone? That's why we just finished fuckin' for the second time?"

"I was vulnerable and desperate" I said storming into the bathroom and grabbing my robe and wrapping it around my naked body. "I-I was drinking. You knew I was"

"We ain't do nothing here that you didn't already wanna do, B, and you know it" he said following me.

"It's Bahja!" I shouted.

I was driving myself crazy. I wished that I would've just let him leave. This was way more than I had bargained for.

"You should leave" I said trying to keep calm.

When I said that he looked...hurt to say the least.

"How could you want me to just leave after what we did?" he asked.

"It was just sex, Devin. You were here at the right time and I just...this wasn't supposed to happen. And I'd like you to leave now"

"Bahja, I-"

"Now, Devin"

He chuckled sarcastically and shook his head as he began to put his clothes back on.

"I can't believe you, man" he mumbled.

"What?" I asked.
