In Love With a D-Boy

Chapter 14

My realization that I had been falling back into Tre's charm did nothing to help me focus of my relationship with Ty. It actually made every little thing he did annoying to me. I ran to Tre everyday as soon as I got out the car with Ty. He was like an addiction that I didn't know I had until it was dangled in front of me. When Ty and I did talk it was dry. Hey, how you doing, what you doing, nothing...We didn't have conversations like we used to and I was beginning to wonder did we ever have the connection that I felt so long ago or did I forge one to forget Tre.

"So I'm going to get my mom to drop us off at the mall." Ken said.

"Cool." I replied hanging up the phone and going to my closet. I changed my shirt and pulled my hair into a high puff. When we got to the mall, Ken instantly wanted to go to Children's Place.

"Hell no. You got something you need to tell me because I'm not going through this ride with you again." I replied.

"Shut up it's not me. Keem got a baby on the way."

"Shut up!"

"Really talk."

"Who would have sex with him?" I questioned with slight disgust and amusement.

"Look that's still my brother but I agree. That nigga sloppy." We laughed as we looked at the baby clothes. I suddenly started imagining a little boy with Tre's eyes and smile.

"EARTH TO NAY!" Ken yelled.

"Shut up I was not that deep in thought."

"You must of been because yo boyfriend just walked by." I looked at her confused and placed the hanger I was holding back on the rack. I smiled. "Lets go see what they doing."

"I didn't say he was with people." She replied.

"Well let's see if he meeting someone. Besides I kind of miss my bf and hanging out."

"I'm not trying to third wheel today."

"I came out with you so he would be the third wheel." I laughed pulling her behind me. We walked in the direction that Ty went but he wasn't in any of the stores.

"I'm thirsty can we please get something to drink." Ken whined. We headed into the food court and I noticed a group of dudes all sitting at the table. In the middle was my boyfriend.

"He right there. I'm going to sneak up on him."

"Ok Naruto." Ken laughed heading for the Chick-fil-a line. I walked around the food court so that I would be coming up behind him. As soon as I was with in clear view of him some girl walked over to the group. She was cheesing extra hard and looking toward Tyler but the kicker was when she sat down on his lap and hugged his neck and he held on to her waist. I froze waiting for him to push her off or anything. After 30 seconds I was done. My blood boiled. I had to be an idiot for ever thinking about spending my life with this scum. Once a dog always a dog. I stomped over as quickly as possible and slapped the shit out of him. He hopped up and drew back until he saw it was me. I stood looking at him defiantly, wishing like hell he would do it.

"What the fuck is wrong with you bitch?" the girl yelled from the floor.

"Shut the fuck up scank. This ain't got shit to do with you. Stay yo dirty ass on the flo." I yelled looking back at Tyler waiting for some kind of explanation as to why this trick was sitting all on his fucking lap. The girl bounced up from the floor and was running her lips. Pulling out her earrings and doing a bunch of extra shit that you don't do if you really gonna fight. One of Ty's friends grabbed her back but I just stood their staring at him. He stared back.

"Cool." I said finally breaking our stare down and walking away. He didn't have to say a word we were already done in his eyes. We had been done a long time ago. I didn't even look back. I just kept going. I left the mall and sat on a bench in the dark. Soon enough Ken found me.

"It's all good Nay." Ken comforted. "At least you didn't make the mistakes I made and find out before everything really went bad."

"But it hurts Ken." I broke down crying. I suddenly knew that I truly loved Ty. If I didn't I wouldn't have been hurting so badly. My heart felt as though it had been ripped out of my chest and I couldn't breath.
