Chapter Forty Eight (editee)

48

After her scuffle with her cousin , Dekia went to take a ride to clear her head and calm herself down . Her mama called her auntie Dakota which was De'shara's mom over there and they were fussing at them for fighting over " foolishness " as they called it and Deki wasn't trying to hear all that.

Her mind was made up and she said what she said she was done with De'shara.

Her mom and everyone else thought she was only reacting that way because it was Zo but that wasn't the case . It was the principles of the situation. Deshara could've did the same thing to matthew or any other nigga that Dekia was with and she would've reacted the same way.

Because as her cousin , she shouldn't be pushing up on anyone that her so called favorite cousin was with .

And what really had her upset is the fact that she was the main one badmouthing zo and calling Dekia dumb for getting back with him but now she knew she was only doing all of that because she wanted him for herself .

At this point she was done with bitches first her bestfriend since elementary and now her cousin . She would be side eyeing Leila too even tho she was with Lo .

After leaving the house she went got her a daiquiri and went on the lakefront to enjoy some time by herself which she hadn't had in a while .

Since she got back with Zo he's been glued to her hip and lately Zoey has been clinging to her because of the pregnancy.

" Hey " She heard as she was sipping her daiquiri causing her to look back and roll her eyes once she saw that it was Matthew.

" How did you know I was here ? " She asked as he took a seat next to her .

" You posted it on your insta story " He said .

" Thought I blocked you on everything " She said .

" I made a fake page " he chuckled . " I wanted to apologize for what happened the other day , that wasn't really me "

" that's your apology? it wasn't really you ? " she scoffed .

" Yeah that wasn't me I blacked out for a minute . I never told you but I got real bad anger issues and when I was younger I use to get so mad I would flash out .. i've gotten better at controlling it the older I got but  that's why  I never wanted to argue with you or why I would just leave when you pissed me off "

" So what happened that day ? because it wasn't under control that day " She questioned .

" I think the steroids had a part to play in that .. that is a side effect of taking them " He said causing Kia to look over at him with a raised eyebrow.

" why the hell are you taking steroids ? "

" I wasn't recovering fast enough on my own . I was depressed not being able to ball so I took matters into my own hands " He explained .

" why the hell would you do that ? you know what would happen to you if you get caught ? how did you even get that ? " She fussed.

" I know what would happen but I couldn't see myself not playing basketball , my whole future is basketball and I couldn't be riding the bench with all these important NBA scouts that's going to be lingering around . " He said.
