"Alright, um Camille. This the third time I've called. Damn, you turned me into a stalker," Adrian laughed. "But nah, I had fun last night.  Hit me back. I love you, babe."

Aftisn sighed and slipped his phone back into his pocket. He was confused on why his girlfriend of eight months, Camille, wasn't answering his calls. He decided not to trip over it, thinkin maybe she was just busy like last week.

"Ight Maxine, I'll see you later. I think ima head out a lil' early today." He smiled charmingly at his co-worker.

Butterflies sparked in Machine's stomach at the sound of his words. "O-okay, Adrian. Talk to you later."

Maxine had a helpless school girl crush on Adrian. Ever since he had began working at her father's barbershop, she fantasized about being with him. Unfortunately, it felt like he never noticed her.

Meanwhile, while Adrian was on his way home, Camille was lying in bed. The only problem was she wasn't alone.

"Baby, pass me the remote." Chris yawned.

Camille obediently passed him the remote as she sat up. "You know, Chris. I've been thinking."

"Uh-Oh." He joked.

"Shut up." She slapped him on his chest," I'm not telling you anymore."

"C'mon crybaby. Let me know what's on yo' mind." He persisted.

Camille crossed her arms and pouted. "Nope. You should've never made fun of me."

"Damn, babe, I was just playing."

"I wanna know what we're doing. Like, what are we?"

"We chillin',  baby. You know that." He answered as he kissed her on her forehead.

Although, Camille felt defeated, she accepted his answer with a nod.

She glanced down at her phone and saw all the missed calls from Adrian. She liked him, but nobody could take the place of Chris in her heart. She didn't see any other man. She didn't want any other man.

Later, after Camille was done meeting Chris's needs, she finally found time to see Adrian.

"Damn, baby, you wasn't answering yo' phone all day. What you have goin' on?" Adrian questioned.

"Danggg," Camille joked. "You all in my business, boy."

Adrian scoffed with a smile."Yo' business is my business."

Camille playfully rolled her eyes," Okay, daddy, I was busy at work today."

Adrian frowned. He had called her job today, and they said she wasn't there. He wasn't dumb. He knew she was lying, but he kept it to himself.

He didn't say much after that. He just started thinking about what she said. Why would she lie about her whereabouts?

Camille got up to go use the bathroom, leaving her phone on the bed. That was the dumbest thing she could have done unless she wanted to get caught.

Suddenly, Camille's phone lit up. Adrian laughed a bitter laugh at the name on the screen.

"Chris." He said aloud, just as Camille was walking back into the room.

She knew she fucked up when she saw the look on his face. Immediately, she began to explain herself.

"Baby, I was gonna tell you." She tried.

"Tell me what? Hm," Adrian roared. "Tell me you was cheatin' on me with a nigga you swea' broke yo' heart?"

"I gave you my all, Camille. You really gone play me like 'dis?"

"I'm so sorry, Adrian." Camille sighed.

Adrian shook his head and started gathering his things. Before he walked out the door, he turned to her.

"Fuck you." He hissed.

As Adrian sat in his car, trying to cool down, he glared at the house of that bitch one more time.

As he continued to glare, he made a vow to himself,"I will never love another woman again."
