Him

Chapter 16

Wesley's POV

I am in the gym room working out, playing my music loudly, hoping it can silence my thoughts. And suddenly my music turns down.

'Hey dude, what up? Why are you punishing yourself man?' Kyle asks. I am out of breath so I sip on my water and pour it all over my face.

'What are you guys doing here?' I ask.

'I believe we have a score to settle' Keith says, spinning the basketball on his finger.

Oh of course. Like fucking with our best friend's girlfriends behind their backs! I can't believe he hasn't even tried to reach out to me about this. He is just pretending like nothing is going on!

'Alright peeps, lets go play'

We walk out to the court and Rosetta is also here, with Sky. Perfect.

'Oh hey dolphin! Baby we need to talk. There is a lot of things we have to iron out' Rosetta walks towards me. Well she is a fine one to say.

'Not now Rose. As you can see, I am busy' I say and look back at Keith.

'Alright, let's make this a little more fun shall we? The one who takes this shot gets to ask anything they like and the others must answer accordingly, yeah?' Sky gives me a "Don't do it" look but I think she knows that she is just wasting her time.

'Bring it on' replies Keith. Keith! Out of all people. He doesn't know what's coming. And fortunately, as planned and expected, I score. And I rub my hands gladly.

'Alright, so this one is for my dear best pal. You ready?' I study his face.

'Psh, you talking to Keith the King man, I was born ready' he says and Kyle is waiting in anticipation.

'Alright, Keith the King. When were you... going to tell me... that you are fucking my girl behind my back' my tone changes from playful to intimidating in a snap of a finger. He looks like the cat got his tongue. I look over at Rosetta and her eyes are blown out, she is panting in panick, I can feel her heart play drums all the way from here.

Kyle's face looks like he just saw a ghost and Sky hides behind her hair. Everyone is in awkward silence. My hands are itching and burning to punch someone or something. I dig my nails deep into my paw and avoid the urge. Rosetta is not worth it anyway.

'You were never ready huh?' I slide my hands in my pocket and glare at him to instill guilt in him. I am happy for him, yes, but the fact that he felt it was okay to fall in love with a girl who is mine is the one disturbing my peace. How would I trust him to not try things with Cheryl, because there I would kill somebody.

Our bro code has lived forever and he just broke it. I am not going to end our friendship, neither am I going to go easy on him. He must know that what he did was absolutely wrong! I actually feel more hurt than angry right now. He is standing right there, speechless. It doesn't even seem like he is going to try to say something. I mean I know he is shocked but Hello! Say something, anything!

'Baby I can-' Rose takes a few steps towards me and I stop her right there.

'You are doing the right thing Rose. The only thing you have to do is change the direction of your feet and make them face the gate. Now!' I vent. She gasps but still doesn't move.
