BANK'S POV
"Hey.", I say sitting down on the edge of the bed facing Alissa.
"Where've you been?", she asks ignoring my greeting.
"Meetings."
"What's this?", she says getting up to sit closer to me. She pulls out her phone and goes to a text conversation between her and Carrington.
"What?", I ask, confused.
"Don't act dumb, you know exactly what I'm about to show you", she says scrolling up past multiple long messages.
I gulped because I did in fact know what she was about to pull up, I had my fingers crossed hoping I was wrong and she was about to show me something else.
"This", she says showing me a screenshot of the group chat Chantel and I had, to which we accidentally asked Carrington.
"What about it?"
"What do you mean "What about it?""?, she says growing angry. "What did you do? 'Nothing more, nothing less', what is that supposed to mean?! And why is Chantel involved?!? Tell me Ricky what is Chantel doing?", She shouts, she looked more upset now instead of angry.
"Alissa, sit down let me exp-", I begin before Alissa cuts me off.
"Oh my God! Are you cheating on me with Chantel!?! What the hell Ricky?!"
"I'm not fucking cheating on you Alissa!", I say standing up, raising my voice too. She was taking two little text messages way out of proportion.
"Well then explain Thi-"
"You know what, if you're just gonna take things out of proportion without listening to my side I don't think I need to listen to what you have to say anyway!"
"Alright then, don't listen. What big move are you gonna pull now, huh?"
"Listen Alissa, you need to just calm down okay? You're confused and you have no context."
"I'm dumb now, huh?"
"When did I say that?!?"
"I'm going to Chantel's for the night", she says picking up Paris and walking over towards the door.
"Why? A few seconds ago you were angry because you had no idea what she's involved in.", I say with a smirk, not thinking about how much I was gonna regret this later.
"Excuse me?", she says turning to face me again.
"Nothing, nothing. You go have fun at Chantel's."
"You know what you said before? That I don't know what she's involved in, I'll just ask her, she'll tell me, I'm her best friend."
"Alright, you do that"
"Oh I will"
"Tell me how that's been for you lately. Because Chantel's just been telling you everything lately hasn't she?"
"Shut up Ricky, you don't know what she's going through. She'll talk to me she knows this is important", she says walking out slamming the door loudly behind her.
"But can you trust anything she says?"
