Still Adjusting (New Adjustments part 2)

19

"Again? Y'all know each other?" My dad asked.

"Oh yea, we go way back. Freshman year was it?" Jada said still smirking.

"You go to Quenton High too? That's nice." Tiffany asked.

My dad laughed at ushered us all to sit down and eat.

"This looks amazing. did you cook all of this?" She asked him.

He started cheesing like he really did make it. Everyone knows damn well this nigga can't cook. He got this steak, fresh green beans, and brown rice from his favorite steak place uptown. Lying ass.

As soon as I started eating my food, I felt someone rub up against my leg. I looked up and Jada was staring right at me smirking. This hoe is going to be the death of me. All that drama she started with Dria  and she has the fucking nerve to...man I'm getting myself all worked up. Let me calm down.

I kicked her and her knee.

"Ouch." She said.

"Honey are you okay?" Tiffany asked her.

"Yea, I'm fine." She said looking at me.

"So Trey, I heard homecoming went well. Was it fun?" She asked me.

"Yea, it was koo."

"Who did you go with?" Jada asked.

I narrowed my eyes at her. "I went with my lovely girlfriend.Dria? You might've seen her around campus...with me."

"Oh, haven't seen her."

"Well I'm glad it was fun. But that after party I heard got a little out of hand. Jada even got in a fight with someone." Tiffany said.

"What? With who? Do you know her?" My dad asked.

"Nope. Just some crazy chick." She responded.

"Well y'all know I do not approve of fighting but did you at least get a few hits in? Who won?"

"Of course I did. But yes, I definitely did. You should've saw her face." She smirked at me again.

She had makeup on to somewhat cover her bruises. If she thinks I'm going to keep my mouth shut while she talks shit about my girl, she has life fucked all the way up.

"Let's get something straight before I lose my temper. The fight started because of you. You did not get one hit in. And she's not crazy, you are." I told her.

"Wait, what's going on? Trey did you see what happened?" My dad asked.

"Yea I did."

"Why didn't you stop it or something?" Tiffany asked.

"Because she deserved it. Listen dinner was good but I have to go. Nice meeting you Tiffany. Forrest I'll see you later." I got up from the table and walked out to my car. I can't stay here and act like there's nothing bothering me. Fuck this shit man. I started my car and just drove.

*A few hours later*

RING

I grabbed my phone off the table and answered it without looking who it was.

"Yea?"

"Trey?" Dria said.

"D?" I asked in disbelief. After a whole week.

"Yea, I'm sorry I ghosted you. I just needed some time and then things got kinda crazy but it is still no excuse. I just wanted to say..." She stop for a few minutes. "Hm can you open the door? I don't wanna do this over the phone."

Then there was a knock on the door. She hung up and I opened the door.

"Come in." I told her.

"Thanks. I just wanted to apologize. I was beyond pissed and I took it out on you without giving you a chance to explain." She paused and tears started falling from her eyes. "I'm really sorry and I missed you like crazy and all I wanted to do was call you and talk to you for hours but all I could see was you kissing Jada and..."

"Baby you don't have to apologize. This is all my fault and I'm sorry. I mean you were being petty, a week, really?" She smiled a little as I wiped away her tears. "No but for real, you know I would never do anything to hurt you. Baby I love you. But what I did was fucked up and I'm sorry. I will explain everything if you give me a chance."

"Yea, okay." she sat down on the couch and I shut the door and sat next to her.

I relayed what happened, making sure I got everything correct. She nodded at times indicating she was listening and occasionally asked questions. But then the big question came.

"But why did it take you so long to pull back? I was standing there for a hot minute watching.Do you still have feelings for her?" She asked looking a little sad.

"Do you still have feelings for her?" She asked looking a little sad.

Do I still have feelings for Jada? We got together and had a pretty good relationship. But then she played me. Cheated throughout the whole thing. Didn't have the balls to tell me or break up with me. Dria never cheated and I'm confident she never will. She's different and I love her. She would never hurt me and she's been with me through a lot so far. She hasn't folded on me, even tho she has every reason too.

"No, I don't. Any feelings I had for her are long gone. I don't want anything to do with her, I swear. when she kissed me, I was thinking if the kiss felt the same. I regret every second of it because I didn't want to kiss her. I wanted to kiss you. Her kiss was cold and dull. And baby look." I moved a little closer to her and held her hands in mine. "I want you. I don't have any excuses for what I did and you deserve to be pissed. But baby I love you more than you'll ever know and I would never do anything to hurt you. You have to understand that. I'm not blaming you for the way you feel and I know it is all my fault and I-"

She cut me off with a kiss. It was a passionate kiss.

"All I needed was a yes or no to if you still had feelings for her. Everything else I already know babe. Just chill." She said then laughed a little.

I hugged her tight and buried my face in her hair. "I missed you so much." I whispered.

"I missed you."

*KEVIN'S POV*

"You  can't do this! You will ruin your life Kevin, why don't you understand that?!" My mom yelled as I started packing my bags.

"Because my fucking life is already ruined! She stole my freedom from me! I will not sit here and act like everything is all good when it's not. I will make her suffer just like I have."

"You stupid ass child! You are the reason your life is a mess! If yo dumbass would've left her alone a long ass time ago, you won't be where you are now! But you can always turn things around before it gets worse. You have a way out. Just take it?"

I looked her in her eyes and a few tears fell. I hate to see her all broken inside and this is all Dria's fault. I swear I will make her suffer. I swear it!

"This is exactly why I'm doing this. Seeing you hurt like this is breaking my heart. Momma ima make this right for you. I promise you that." I kissed her forehead and left. Time for my revenge.
