Amira
I felt tears cascade down my cheecks as I stood in the gym alone.
Ivory trained me every morning on Tuesday to box. Instead I could see Trustee, the gym owner sitting down reading a magazine while sipping coffee. After I had dropped London and Paris off to school I literally been here for three hours
I called Ivory phone for the millionth time just for it to ring and ring. I was getting mad. A feeling I didn't feel to often with him.
My neighbors always preached for me to not get too comfortable. Ivory was known to be a hoe and disrespectful to everybody but not in my eyes. He probably didn't see it but he was romantic and affectionate. Ivory always said he wasn't no "Prince Charming ass nigga" in his words but I thought so. I sat down and rolled my eyes deciding to leave a nasty voicemail.
"You better bring your behind to this gym Ivory!" I yelled into my phone. I could see Trustee holding in his laugh and felt a little embarrassed but I kept going on in the voicemail " I know you see me keep calling you! Fuck you Ivory! You really stood me up and not even tell me what's going on! We over!" I hung up and my phone started ringing right back in my hands
I barely knew how to work this new iPhone he got me but I knew today seeing "My Everything" calling back
"Hello" I felt my stomach twist in butterflies.
Here I'm suppose to be mad but this stupid boy had this insane effect on me
"This Amira right? Well look this is Mo. short for Monica. I been fucking with Ivory for years and we were suppose to get married.I broke up with him and see he started dating you. I wasn't tripping even though it hurt but when I seen these positive pregnancy tests I knew I had to get my man back because my baby deserves a family. We're back engaged and I'm so sorry you was dragged into our On and off relationship. I'm being a woman about this. Ivory told me to call you personally after we was done you know.. making up"
"What how? I can't believe him. A baby?" I felt my heart rip into pieces literally. I started crying like a baby and I swore I heard this Monica girl chuckle
"Don't cry Amira" she said sympathetically
"Aye Monica. Bring ya hoe ass on yo!" I heard Ivory shout from the background and it felt like I was shot with bullets . She ended the call and I just sat and cried my eyes out. I trusted him wholeheartedly. I let him touch not only my mind but gave him my virginity. I felt like the stupidest person alive
"Hey don't cry Amira. I don't know what's going on with y'all two but I never seen him so passionate about any female ever. That boy eyes light up when you around. You been taming his crazy ass down. He was a mess before you came into his life. I watched him fight people everyday in the streets. Pistol whip and just act a damn fool. The police love his ass. But You balance him out. This love game ain't easy but I know y'all will get through it" he tired cheering me up but all I did was get angry .
"He hurt me really bad Mr. Trustee. From the beginning he was too much for me. All these girls chasing after him. Now he's back with his fiancée and they having a baby"
