Chapter 16

I sat on my porch with my knees against my chest, hugging Gilbert's jacket close, thinking about what Betty told me.

"I blew him, he was on the phone with my husband while I did it, it was so sensual he couldn't keep quiet".

Did he really do that?

I mean how could he do that? How could he do that to me? To us?

I scoff at my worry. I really shouldn't believe a word that comes out so betty's mouth, she's obsessed with gilbert.

Maybe it's not true at all....maybe she was lying.

I look up from the ground as I hear a car engine near by.

There's only one way to find out.

I see Gilbert's yellow car park in front of my house. He turns the engine off and gets out of the car with a smile on his face, jogging over to me.

I get up from my sitting position and stand on the porch.

He smiles at me when he reaches me but I don't smile back. I can't.

He leans in, obviously to give me a kiss on the lips, but I move my head to the side so he kisses my cheek instead.

He furrows his eyebrows and pulls back trying to read my expression.

"Is something wrong babygirl?" He asks worriedly.

The nickname that I had grown to adore now stings as he says it.

"When you made that delivery to Betty...did you do something with her?" I asked him slowly, hoping that she wasn't telling the truth.

Gilbert's eyes widen as he becomes unable to hold eye contact with me.

My heart drops.

"You did didn't you?"

He shakes his head "I-I didn't want to, s-she came onto me, I tried to push her away, I promise" Gilbert said.

I scoff and let out a humorless chuckle "yeah based on what she told me, you didn't".

"She's the one that told you that?" Gilbert asks looking angry for a second, not at me, but at her.

"Yeah and for a good reason too, since you seemed intent on keeping it a secret" I snap at him.

He looked nervous as he tried to grab my hands "no no no, no babygirl please, let me explain".

I sighed as I moved my hands out of his and used them to keep him a distance away from me.

"No I promise you, I tried to push her away, I love you, I wouldn't ever do that to you, I made it clear to Betty that I didn't want it".

His eyes were pleading. I felt my stomach churn at the thought of Betty on her knees pleasing him,I've never pleased him in that way. Me and Gilbert haven't tried that yet, maybe that's why he cheated, I didn't please him the way he wanted to be pleased.

I don't understand why he would do this if he spent these last few months chasing me.

But..through those months he was still with Betty. I was wrong to trust him, I told myself I wouldn't and this is exactly why.

I felt like crying, but knew that it would be stupid to cry over a boy who probably didn't think he'd get caught when he let Betty touch him.

I knew what I had to do next.

I ran a hand through my hair with a sigh "Gilbert, lets break up".

His eyes widened as his expression contorted into one of panic "no, no, please you have to understand, Blair, I love you".
