I knew it. He was judging me. This is exactly why I didn't want to tell him but he was going on and on about how he thinks he was put in my life for a reason. I don't disagree, but it was definitely time he knows about me! It wasn't even the person I truly was. He met the real me but it was a factor in my life in which I played a part and I had to inform him. I finally lifted my head to look at him. It was no reason to fall into shame when this was my truth. If he felt uncomfortable about it and no longer wanted to continue what we have, I would be completely fine with that but also heart broken.
He was staring off into the nights sky as if he was thinking hard about what he had just heard. My body was tense and shaking from the pit that formed in my stomach. The only thing I didn't want out of this was for him to judge me. No one was perfect and it wasn't his place to try to play God with me. But that's humans for you. "Axel?" I called out to him but he ignored me. I sighed before reaching for his hand. He snatched it away from me and I felt my heart shatter a bit. Why was he acting like this? "Axel, let me explain please.." I begged. I shouldn't have to be. He didn't know what I went through. It wasn't against my will and it never began that way either. I just wish he'd allow me to explain..
"Tommie, I can't believe you right now. That is something you must tell someone. I mean, we had sex!" He started off calmly before ending in yelling in my face. I jumped at his voice staring at him unbelievingly. Did he think I had something? Was he really serious right now? "Are you saying that I'm infected with something Axe?!" I yelled back as he shook his head clenching his jaw. I chuckled in disbelief. This always happened to me whenever I chose to be real with someone and honestly I don't know why I even do it. MiMi and Katrina never judged me! They knew I would never go that route on my own will and yet he didn't think that maybe something was deeper than just that.
I scoffed picking up my heels and placing them back onto my feet. I couldn't sit here with him and I honestly didn't want to be around him. He was showing me his true colors and as much as I didn't want to believe he was an asshole, it was evident. Once my heels were back on my feet, I grabbed my purse and hopped out of the trunk carefully. I didn't know how I was going to get home but I would find a way ASAP or have MiMi come get me. "Where you going Tommie?" He asked as I began on the trail walking the road. I ignored him as I felt tears well up in my eyes. People like me didn't deserve what all I got. I was someone who cared and looked out for others. Strong and independent. Spiritual believer and stayed far away from trouble yet it always found me.
"Tomasina!" He yelled again followed by catching up to me and pulling me into him. I struggled in his arms as he held me tight. He wouldn't let me go until I forcefully slapped him across his face. He held in face as he stared at me in disbelief. "Fuck you Axel. You really think I just up and became a prostitute? Or maybe I was forced into it huh.. You didn't even ask me how. You just assumed I'm this slut right and I got a disease right? Yea. This shit is over between us." I looked him up and down as he held his face, still looking at me. I turned on my heels as I continued on my walk towards the road. I was fuming with anger. How could I like him so much? I was hurt.
