Using her full name like that.
“Girl, fuck you,” I snapped. “I’m standing right here til she's done, and I dare you to move me.”
“Whoa, baby,” Kel stepped between us. “What’s going on? This not like you.”
“What’s going on is I’ve been blowing up your phone, and you’re not answering because you’re in here reminiscing with your ex about how her ass made you feel like you died and went to heaven.”
I knew I sounded crazy, but the words kept coming, spilling out like vomit.
“You know what? If you gonna act and move like a nigga, maybe I should just be with one.”
Kel’s head snapped back like I slapped her. Her eyes narrowed on me.
“Girl, that’s probably what you really want anyway,” Trisha muttered.
“Excuse me?” I turned to her.
“You heard me,” she said, standing ten toes. “You straight girls don’t really be gay. Y’all just be hurt ’cause a nigga broke your heart, then run to us to fix it.”
“Bitch, you don’t know me,” I shot back.
“You right. I don’t,” she said. “I only know what Kel tells me, and from what I heard—”
“Trisha!” Kel snapped, cutting her off.
“Nah,Kelly, let the little hoe talk,” I said.
Trisha’s voice got louder. “You need to be thanking this little hoe, ’cause I’m keeping your girl satisfied where you can’t.”
My heart dropped.
I looked at Kel. “What the fuck is this bitch talking about?”
Kel dragged a hand down her face. “Baby….”
I shifted my gaze to Trisha, knowing she’d tell the truth.
She smirked, flicking her tongue.
“I can teach you… so she won’t have to come to me.”
My chest tightened, but before I could even respond, she kept going, calm as ever, like she wasn’t about to blow my whole world up.
“She was just saying the other day she ain’t had her pussy ate right since me.”
The room went silent. Like… dead silent. My ears started ringing.
I turned to Kel, searching her face, begging silently for her to deny it, to laugh it off, to say Trisha was lying. Kel didn’t say shit. She just stood there, jaw tight, eyes low.
The silence said everything.
“You cheated on me, Kel?”
My voice came out low, almost calm, but it was shaking underneath.
Kel finally looked up at me, her eyes searching mine. “It’s not like that—”
“Not like what?” I snapped. “Not like you was over here getting your ex to eat your pussy?”
