MR.CHEATER 2

OCTOBER 20TH, 1999
A CONTINUATION OF MR.CHEATER
- NOT EVEN GONNA LIE... THIS CHAPTER HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DALVIN CHILE. WELL... MAYBE A LIL BIT

Lenora's heels click against the tiles as she skimmed through the produce section of her grocery store. A simple smile graces her lips as she clasped the ripe luminous red apple in her hands.

It was so easy for Lenora to smile these days. A year ago she had found out that her boyfriend was married and had also had other women he was spending time with. Glimpsing into his wife's eyes as she spilled out her pain towards the adultery; it pained her to this day.

Even though she didn't know, it made her step back from the situation. To the point that she had to take a leave from work for months to work through her depression.

It didn't stop Dalvin from contacting her continuously. Messages, calls, countless vases of flowers. He popped up at her job numerous times; faking tears and breakdowns to get her to take him back.

His letters were inked with words like "I didn't need to be married so early..." and "You don't miss us? I need you back. I'm sorry." His apologies went through one ear and out the other. The minute she opened her office door and saw him stand in her doorway with another woman. The love that ran deep for him began to dry out.

Sliding a few apples into a plastic bag and tying it; she slides over to the last bag of oranges. She sighs in relief, pleased that she was able to get the last one. The last time she was in, they were all out and she had to put up with the unbagged ones that had already gotten a little soft.

As she grips the orange bag, she looks at the hand that was reaching for them also. Looking up, her eyes blink quickly to Tionne standing in front of her.

The woman she watched with tears sprinting from her eyes was now standing in front of her with a whole new attitude. Her infamous light blonde hair was now a dim red, and her face had spread out. The aura she was feeling from her was wonderful. To say that she looked happy was an understatement.

"Wow! Lenora?" Lee's lips turn into a large smile as she turns to Tionne who was opening her arms; ready for a hug.

Lenora thought twice but she obliged; providing her an enormous hug as the two rock back and forth, smiling and giving small chuckles. It had never dawned on her that maybe Tionne still hadn't known what was transpiring between her and Dalvin.

And the last thing Lenora would do; is rubbing salt in a wound.

"Girl you look great!" Lenora comments; spinning Tionne around to get a full view. As she turns back around Tionne smiles once more and poses jokingly.

She was full of life and light; resembling a rainbow as she joked around with Lenora. She moved like she felt free. The two were sure that the few white people that were walking past were confused. But she didn't care.

She needed to be applauded.

"Me?! No, you look great! You dyed your hair all the way black?" Tionne picks up the piece of a mid-length black strand of hair that hung beside Lenora's ears.

Her elevated and sophisticated bun had been spun into a blowout with layers and a chestnut color to jet black. It was a sight to see.
