Swapped

Chapter 27

Taylor

Enough was enough! I went home and had myself a very good cry. I never felt so disrespected in my entire life. Rock was playing games. So I waited a few days and  I called him and I told him to call his new girl over, it was time for a conversation woman to woman. He agreed to call her and she agreed to meet with us. So I did my hair up and beat my face and slid in some jeans and a white tee and headed to his place. When I got there he answered the door looking sorry and pathetic to me. The attraction I had to him had completely dispersed. “Taylor" he said
I quickly responded "don’t touch me” I said holding up my hand. He had me all the way twisted. His little friend walked up behind me just then and he looked at her “Crystal” he said. She nodded and we both entered his room. Now I have never been the one to be involved in any drama but I wasn’t tolerating any disrespect from this broad either. She sat on his bed and crossed her legs. I looked at him as I grabbed a chair and slid it out. He looked at the bed and then slid out a chair at the table.

“I asked you to meet me here because I felt it was time for us to have a conversation. I don’t know you and I wasn’t aware that Rock was with you, nor was I aware that you were pregnant. I don’t know what he told you about me either” I said.

She cleared her throat and began “Nothing, he told me nothing. We have been seeing each other and I never heard anything about you. We were arguing because he was dancing rather provocatively with another female at a party and I was upset, but he knew I might have been pregnant at that time. So he was calling me back to back and then it just stopped” she said and I could hear the emotion in her voice. I knew how she felt I went through the whole pregnancy thing alone so I could feel her pain. At the same time her voice was annoying as fucked. She sounded like Elly May from the Beverly hillbillies.

“When did he stop calling you” I asked?

“Thursday” she said flatly.

“Oh when he ran into me at Walmart” I looked at him and he and he held his head down not giving eye contact to either of us.

“So let me just say He and I were together for three years and then I dropped out because I was pregnant. I will be re-enrolling, but I just need this clear before hand because I don’t need any drama. I don’t want Rock.” I said firmly. He finally looked up and glared at me. “He disrespected me in a way I have never been disrespected before. My Daddy  told me daily I’m was a Queen and I refuse to be treated any kind of way. So I’m not going back and forth over him. If you want him you can have him all I expect is for him to take care of his child.”

“Taylor” Rock said facing me “Look I’m sorry it was wrong and I know it was but I do love you. I love you to Crystal” he said.

“You don’t treat people you love like this Jason, you don’t have them fight other women and argue and… I just don’t understand how you could change up on me like that. I love you and I would do anything for you” she said crying. There it is I thought to myself this broad not going anywhere. I can’t do this.

“You can’t have your cake and eat it to Rock. Not with me anyway, I’m not having it. You can see your son any time, but we are done. That is pretty much all I had to say” I grabbed my purse when Crystal says

“Do you have anything to say Jason,” to him. I don’t care what he has to say because I honestly felt broken at this point. I loved him I really did and my son looked like him so now I was stuck looking at his face for the rest of my life, but he truly showed out with this situation.

“Crystal I know how your family is going to act when they find out you pregnant and I want to marry you to save you from that experience. I do but” he said pausing and I swear I wanted to put my foot through his chest. Really Nigga right here right now your going to propose to this bitch wow! She perked up and looked at him hopefully. “I love you Crystal but I can’t do that for you because I love Taylor like I’m in love with her and I will continue to pursue her even though she saying it’s over and if I’m with you and she changes her mind I will leave you for her. I swear I hate saying that to you but I can’t lie to you know more. I don’t want to hurt you but that’s the truth. I will raise your child though and be there for you but I’m in love with Taylor” he said. I had to resist the urge to smile. He about to go through hell boy he don’t even know I hope he didn’t think this would be easy. He going to have to prove himself worthy to me before I consider taking him back.

“Your words don’t mean anything to me anymore Rock. You told me you loved me then you had sex with her” I said.

“When” he had the nerve to ask me? I glared at him.

“She just told you she didn’t want you stupid and your going to say that to me! You a real jerk Jason” Crystal said yelling at him.

“Let me ask a question Crystal, if he and I were together would you leave him alone” I asked? Just as quick as I asked the question “No!” she spat out “I will be here for you Jason because I love you" she turned her head to look at him, "and there is nothing you could do to ever push me away. Why come you can’t see that” She said crying and yelling at him. She was all red in the face with snot pouring down her nose. She wasn’t even cute, she was just light skinned with okay hair. Her nose was all narrow and pointy, bitch aint even have lips like really, now she did have a donkey butt and an okay figure but her neck was so long you could use it as a landing strips for air planes. Really Rock I wanted to say you stuck me in the same category of cute with this homely looking bitch and on top of everything else she had a horse mouth, bitch look like she could bite through concrete. I was done because the more I stared at her the more I realized how beat she was, and her crying was making it worse she was looking like a new born rat, it was not helping. I stood up and dismissed myself “You guys sound like you have a lot to discuss. Handle that, and please don’t call me with no bs. If it’s not regarding Jason don’t call my phone” I said.

“Wait! Baby tell me please is there anything I can say right now that will make you change your mind? Anything Taylor I promise I will never cheat on you again or look at anyone else it will be just like it was when we were together please!” He grabbed my arm and pulled me to him “please” he begged. It was hard but I pushed him away. Nah he crazy if he think he going to play me for a fool twice. I pushed at his chest and pulled myself away. I turned and walked out the door. Walking away from him was hard. He was the father of my child and I wanted him in my life for both of us but my pride was to strong to handle what he was dishing out. I slid my sun glasses on and held my head up. Rock loved being in love but he aint really know what it was and I was not about to teach him. He just wasn’t ready for what I had to give. I left the campus and went home to my mama. Soon as I walked in the door and took my sunglasses off she looked at me and said “Come here baby” and I did I walked into her outstretched arms and lay my head on her breast and cried like a did as a child. She wrapped her arms around me and rubbed my back giving that comfort only mama could. “You are strong honey and you will be okay” she said.

“Mama I wanted my son to have what I had. Two parents in the same house that love and respect each other” I said.

“Love don’t come easy anymore. You have to work at it, but it take two people to do it together. You can’t give that man your all if he not giving you his. Now I need you to keep doing what you are doing and your man will come along when God see’s your ready” I nodded my head in agreement and just like that I put my feeling for Jason on the back burner and focused on my son. I had to be the best me I could be and I knew my man was out there waiting on me and I would wait on him. In the mean time I was just going to pray for me and for Jason to one day really see the woman that he just let slip through his fingers.
