"You have a collect call from....."
"Rodney."
"Press 5 to accept these charges or simply hang up." The operator announced over the phone.
Why in the hell was Rodney calling me? He got me fucked up if he thinks I'm about to talk to him. I wasn't about to be cooped up in this stuffy ass car and have a non irreverent conversation with his Ike Turner ass. I was running late from meeting up with my girl Wynter anyway. She finally contacted me and wanted to meet up at Radnor Lake State Park. We both enjoyed walking the trails and the beautiful nature, plus we needed a place to talk peacefully.
I got out the car and greeted Wynter with a big hug. Hell, I missed my best friend. She didn't look like herself at all though. Her platium blonde hair that she always wore down was wrapped in a tight bun. Her clothes were beggy and her skin was very pale. Wynter never let her golden tan skin get so colorless. Her bare face was still beautiful even without the makeup but you could see the tiny freckles you never knew she had. I knew something was up wit her though because Wynter didn't ever go without wearing makeup. She would wear a full face just to go to the corner store.
" Hey, bestie. What's up with the big clothes? Are you ok?"
I asked while we begun to walk the trail. I fired up a blunt that I had already rolled from the house. No one ever knew I smoked weed being a nurse in all, but it helped calm my nerves. Plus, this career that I really didn't like couldn't take the hood out of me. I smoked more now than I ever have before though.
" I should be asking you that Elleah. When did you start smoking?"
Wynter looked at me awkward while I took a puff of the blunt.
" I've been smoking. You wanna hit it?" I smirked, blowing smoke through my nose. She frowned her face up like smoking weed was so nasty to her. " Well suit yourself Wynter but to answer your question, I'm making it. Where have you been all this time though? You know we don't go a day without talking. I've been worried sick about you girl!"
" Well, I've been living in a hotel for the pass few months now. Aiden and I are in the process of getting a divorce." She replied in sorrow.
"What the fuck? A divorce? But y'all been together so long."
I was in complete shock. Aiden and Wynter was like two peas in the pods. He gave Wynter the world. I admired their love they had for one another and to find out they were getting a divorce stunned the hell out of me.
" Yes a divorce. Aiden's been having an affair and not only with women but men too. He's been cheating on me since we've been together with multiple people." She confessed sadly while she looked down at the ground walking.
" Bitch you lying, you gotta be lying Wynter. Aiden, Aiden?" I slapped her on the wrist, not believing what my ears were hearing. I was in total denial. I hit the blunt again but a little to hard because I got choked.
" I wish I was lying Elleah. Aiden confessed to me that he has a sex addiction and I wasn't enough to keep him satisfied. He's a member of some secret sex society too." She admitted to me shaking her head. I could see the pain and resentment in Wynter deep blue eyes.
" That sneaky nasty bastard! I hate down low men, I tell ya. That's how bitches be catching shit!" I snarled up my nose at the thought. I looked at Wynter's pale face turn flush red. I stopped dead in our tracks and threw my roach blunt in the grass. I looked at Wynter in her face.
"Wynter he didn't give you anything, did he?"
Wynter body language looked uncomfortable and tears immediately trickled from her eyes.
"Aiden gave me HIV and I'm 3 months pregnant with his child. I didn't want anybody to know Leah, I was to ashamed. Honestly, I didn't want y'all to treat me differently or talk bad about me." She replied vulnerably.
