Someone Else's

As I lay in bed I thought to myself, "I can't believe I keep doing this." This nigga was knocked out snoring, spooning me from behind. And all I could think about was my bestfriend. I was fucking her nigga and I couldn't stop. I rolled over and started to wake him up. "Baby get up, get up Chris gone be here soon and Layla keep texting me about y'all problems n shit." he opened his eyes, groaned and stretched, "but I wanna stay here with you." I wanted him to stay too, but he had a woman at home. My bestfriend and I had a man on the way home, Chris. He kissed me on the forehead and got up to put his clothes on, "you're special to me." I just sat there inslience and watched his as he got himself together and left. An hour later Chris was home. He kissed me, I fixed his dinner and we headed to bed. I attempted to have sex with Chris, I mean his hands wasn't Raymond hands. His body wasn't Raymond body. His voice wasn't Raymond voice, I knew I owed him pleasure but he just wasn't my Raymond. I was falling for my bestfriend bboyfriend and falling out of love with mines. I touched his stomach and moved lower and lower, Chris moved my hand and rolled over aggravated. I was pissed even though I had just got some good dick, I couldn't help but wonder why Chris never wanted me. He was a good man, he tok care of home but he wanted nothing to do with me sexually. We would only have sex about once a week. I couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and turned. And I heard Chris phone go off, Which was very unusual. It read a message from Angel. "Sleep tight my love." My heart dropped my first thought was to wake this nigga up and start a fight, but another part of me didn't care because I had Raymond. Chris headed to work that morning and I usually see him off but I slept through him leaving this morning. I woke up feeling nauseous and ran straight to th bathroom and threw up, and then I started to realize that I haven't had a period this month. I thought to myself "no this can't be." I fumbled throught the bathroom cabinet and found an old pregnancy test. As I sat and waited on the results I tried to do the math and figure out whothis baby could be for. Because just like I figured the test came back positive. And that moment I knew I needed to come clean to my bestfriend. I hit the floor crying more tears than I've cried this whole year. I sat there trying to figure out my next move. I texted Layla "hun I think Chris is cheating on me and I'm pregnant." Layla instantly called me. "Girl are you okay? I know me and Raymond been having our problems and you know I think he been cheating. But not Chris too, he was supposed to be the good one." We talked for a few hours. She talked about Raymond and this mystery woman she think he has. And I told her about all my problems with Chris. And it felt good to vent to my bestfriend. I heard a key turning in the door and Layla I would call her back. Chris was home on his lunch, which was also unusual. He walked in and kissed me and asked me about my day. I told him I didn't feel well but I missed him and asked him about his day. Chris explained he hasd a business meeting at work and he needed to freshen up and he would be running late tonight. I sighed and pouted. He grabbed my face and kissed me. "I'll make it up to you I promise," and he went to get in the shower. Chris phone went off again. From Angel "Can't wait to see you." I was furious. I can't believe this nigga cheating on me. I was headed towards the bathroom and the phone went off again Angel: be there in 20. I thought to myself, be smarter than him. I'm going to catch this nigga. I put the location on his phone so I could track him. Chris got out the shower, he put on his clothes, he smelled nice and he looked good. I asked him if he wanted me to come with him. He argued no that I already said I didn't feel good so he would try and be home as soon as possible. He kissed me bye and got in his car, I waited a while until the location stop moving but he was constantly moving, I called Layla "I need you, I think I can catch Chris cheating, I want you to ride with me to follow him there." I decided when I got to my bestfriend house after we followed Chris I would come clean. Layla was at work but said the day was slow so she could leave, and would leave me at her house. I took a shower I slipped on some clothes, grabbed my keys, hopped in my car and checked the location on Chris' phone. He was finally still, the address was familiar. It was Layla's street. I didn't dail Layla's number. I thought to myself "no I just talked to Layla, this can't be right." So I decided to call her and just head that way. I pulled up and Layla car was already there, and so was Chris car. And the address matched the one on the phone. Even though I was fucking her man I couldn't believe she would betray me and fuck mines. I hopped out the car and went to the front door, the door was un locked. I went in and called Layla and Chris name. I heard Layla call me upstairs, I opened the door to her room to find Layla pointing a gun at Raymond. But the part that fucked my head up was Chris was naked behind him. Layla was crying hysterically. "Guess we found out who these niggas been cheaing with."
