Thick & Thin

Chapter Sixteen; Foolish Hearts

"Where the fuck is she?"

"What!? What are you talking about?" Kevin said confused; while following a furious Michelle around his new apartment.

Ignoring his presence completely, Michelle stalked into his bedroom; still in the process of finding some type of proof to what Kelly and Beyoncé had told her earlier that evening. Luckily for Kevin, Michelle had made it out of the movie theatre without running into him and his 'friend'. Kelly on the other hand was so worried about a scene being caused that she started faking stomach pains so they could leave before the rest of the crowd.

A day later, the two decided to inform Michelle about her 'no good' man. Just as they thought, she was devastated, but still resulted in running to him for confirmation.

"Michelle!!" Kevin yanked her arm back before she completely destroyed his bedroom, while looking for something to give him away; trinkets, another females underwear; anything that didn't belong to her- she had her eye out for. Unfortunately, she hadn't found anything out of place or suspicious yet.

"Don't play dumb Kevin." She pulled out of his grasp and took a step back. "I hear you like to take other hoes out and shit now! I just wanna know when the hell you were going to tell me about this." She said sarcastically and tried her best to read his facial expression but got no where. He was beyond perfecting his 'im not guilty' face.

"What?" he frowned; re-tracing his actions in the past few days at the same time. "Where'd you hear this from?"

"Does it matter?"

"Michelle!!"

"Fine, One of my girls said they saw you out with another female!"

"Your girls, huh?" Hiding his guilt very well, Kevin laughed it off while shaking his head.

"I'm glad you think this shit is funny!" Michelle folded her arms across her chest and glared at him.

"I'm just saying, is this the same one that's cheating on her husband, or the one that's so self centered, she can barely raise her child?" Kevin retorted purposely causing Michelle to cringe.

Her and Beyoncé both had a bad habit of sharing everyone else's business but their own with their significant others.

"That's not the point Kevin, it doesn't matter who told me, it's just the simple fact that I shouldn't be hearing anything, period. What the hell is going on?" she fumed; flinging her arms before letting them fall to her sides.

"That is the point when they're the ones telling you shit. If you ask me, they're just like your mother. They don't want to see you happy baby! Misery loves company, and you know that!" Kevin tried changing the subject to get the heat off of his back.

"Whatever! They're not like that." hesitantly Michelle defended her best friends.

"I'm just callin it like I see it." he shrugged with a smug expression.

"So you're trying to tell me that they're just making up shit and they didn't even see you?"

"Listen baby, The last time I went to the movies with anyone except you, it was with my sister." Kevin replied, calmly.

Michelle twisted her lips to the side, while folding her arms across her chest again from habit.

It was a believable story being as though, his sister actually attended the local University. They usually hooked up from time to time, according to Kevin. Michelle still had yet to meet this so called 'sister' though.

Taking note of Michelle's sudden persona, he closed the gap between them and lifted her chin. "Please don't tell me every time you hear something, you're going to believe it. You know how people are."
