Not Your Side Chick

Chapter 7

Naudia P.O.V

I sat behind my desk eating my sorry excuse of a lunch. Being a teacher on a teacher salary wanting expensive things to leave me no choice but to cut things out of the budget. This month it was food. I guess I really can't complain, maybe all of this not eating will allow me to lose a few pounds. My phone pinged and shook me out of my thoughts. It was Marco. It turned out my one-night stand ended into a spontaneous dating life. We didn't want to rush into a relationship. He is young and so was I. He was just getting established in his career and I barely started mine. 

We went on random fast food night runs. And we've had sex in virtually every place imaginable. And we get high and have the best talks. I can't lie and say that I don't want our relationship to be more. I could see us living together and establishing our lives together. The only thing that stops me from asking him to take it further is the fact that I don't know anything about him on a personal level. His friends, his family. Does he have a kid? What are his aspirations?

The other thing that's keeping me from taking things further is Jerome. My strong love hope and desire to be with him is pulling me closer. I want him so bad. I need him. I need to know what it feels like even if it's just for a mere moment.

From Marco(received @12:32)- Sorry for the late notice but I can't come over tonight. Something came up.

To Marco(sent @12:33)  - It's cool, is everything ok?

From Marco(received @12:34) -  Yeah just some family stuff. Raincheck?

To Marco(sent @12:35) - Raincheck but you owe me big time. I was looking forward to you coming over.

From Marco(received @12:36) - Sounds like someone misses me.😌

To Marco(sent @12:37) -  Boy bye nobody misses you.😳

From Marco(received @12:38) -  It's ok daddy misses you too.😘

To Marco(sent @12:37) -  Boy bye I have to go get my kids.

From Marco(received @12:38) -  I can give you some kids anywhere you want it😜💦🍆

To Marco(sent @12:39) -  Goodbye Marco🤦‍♀️

The End Of The Day

Rilley and I sat on the school steps. She had fallen asleep and was laying on my lap. I was trying to carefully grade papers without waking her up. A black Jeep skirted to a stop in front of the steps.

"I'm so sorry my brother and his girlfriend got into an accident and are at the hospital and I didn't know that his little girl was still at school. Thank you for not calling special services." I put my pen and folder in my bag before carefully picking Rilley up. "It's ok we do this waiting game every day although I do want to speak to the parents about..." I looked up and couldn't believe who I saw.

"Marco?"
