Old Friends

Avoidance

Tia's POV
A week has gone by since the party. Trevor has texted and called a few times but I haven't responded. I've been feeling so guilty about cheating on Chris. I know I should tell him but I don't want to hurt him and honestly I don't want him to break up with me. I know before I wanted a break but I do love Chris. I also didn't mention to Trevor I have a boyfriend. I should of told him when we were catching up but I didn't bring it up.

Trevor's POV
Tia never let me know if we could chill later last Saturday and it's been a week since I've talked to her. I really missed her and I enjoyed her. I really missed that body and all the fun times we used to have. It annoys me that we haven't talked because this is what always happens. We end up cool and we kick it then she just ghosts me. I don't know what's up with her. I know she wants me just as much as I want her. She's always avoiding us and making up excuses. I'm not about to chase after her though. I can have any girl I want even though Tia is the girl I want. I would love to invite her to a game but I really want to take her out to dinner or something. I would like to spend time with her but since she hasn't answered none of my calls or texts I'll let her come to me. I know she will. This is how it always goes with her.

Chris's POV
Tia's been acting weird all week. I went over last night but I didn't stay because I can tell something is up. She didn't even ask me to stay so I know something is up. Ever since that party she's been quiet, distant, and suspicious acting. Whenever I ask if she's good or is something bothering her she says she's fine and nothing is wrong. I need to figure out what's up with her though. I would ask Kay but I don't have time for her because she probably won't tell me anything. She will only go back to Tia telling her some lies or something. I text Tia asking if she wants to come over to my place.

Tia's POV
Chris texted me asking if I want to come over. I look at my phone and sigh. If I don't go it will look like I'm avoiding him. I really have no valid excuse for me not to. I get up to get dressed to go over to his place. As I am getting dressed my phone rings and it's Chris calling. I answer. He asks me again and even asks if I can pick us up some food. I tell him I'm coming and I ask him what he wants. Once I'm all ready I grab my phone, keys and wallet. I was out the door. I drove to pick us up some pizza and wings then headed to his place. I get to his condo and he lets me in. He kisses me and I kiss him back. I feel so bad right now. I think I'm going to tell him after we eat. I can't keep lying to him. I know I was wrong and I'll have to deal with the consequences.

Chris's POV
Tia got here with the pizza and wings. I'm happy because I was hungry. She still seems quiet and like something is on her mind. I would ask her but she'll probably only say she's fine. We sit, eat and watch TV. It's a little quiet so I just start talking so it's not so awkward. I could tell she wanted to say something but it just wasn't coming out. After we ate I was chillin'. Tia looks at me and says, "we need to talk". When a woman says that it can never be good.

Tia's POV
After we finished eating Chris is just chilling so I tell him we need to talk. The expression on his face said it all. He knew this wasn't good. I'm thinking about how I am about to tell him I cheated on him. I really have no clue and I am actually scared to say it. He's looking at me waiting for me to say something. Umh...I start. "Umh I...I'm sorry Chris". I look down and start playing with my hands because I'm nervous about how he will react and what he's about to say.

Chris's POV
Sorry for what I ask her. I look at her waiting for her to say something else. She's just sitting there and I know she's done something now. Ever since that party she's been acting weird. She probably got with someone else. I'm starting to get pissed so now I just want her to say what she did. "What did you do Tia?" She's still just sitting there and playing with her hands. I know she must feel bad but she did it to herself. I want to hear her say what she did.

Tia's POV
I can tell Chris is getting upset. His tone and body language have changed. I look at him and finally say something. One of the players kissed me I said. He's sitting there like he's thinking and I know he's pissed.

Chris's POV
I'm siting here and she tells me a player kissed her. I don't hit women but I so just wanted to slap her. He kissed you? Who kissed you? Is that all that happened I asked her. I really can't believe she'd let someone else kiss her.

Tia's POV
He's asking who and if anything else happened and I really don't want to say but if I don't I know I will only get myself caught up. For some reason I can't bring myself to say it. Trevor and no, he just kissed me. That's all I say.

Chris's POV
I'm really mad but it was just a kiss. I want her to know how mad I am but I'm not gonna leave her. I love her too much. I just sit there and ignore her because that is foul. She knows she'd be pissed if I was out here kissing other girls.

Tia's POV
I can't believe I just lied to Chris like that again. I really told him nothing else happened. I don't know why I just lied like that to him. I am not ready for Chris and I to be over. If I would of told him I slept with Trevor it definitely would be over and if he finds out I know Trevor that'll only make matters worse. He looks at me and I know he's really hurt and mad. He just sits there and ignores me. I just leave him be because I know he's mad. I don't say anything just let him calm down. There will definitely be no more parties for awhile. I'm hoping Chris doesn't find out about Trevor and I. I really need to talk to Trevor to let him know that night was a mistake, and that we can't hang out or do anything together because I have a boyfriend. I know back then Trevor had feelings for me but I guess he hasn't fully moved on judging by what happened last weekend. I decided I'll text him later when I'm alone. I don't want to sneak around behind Chris's back so I am going to make sure Trevor knows what happened can never happen again.
