Page 3 of Pulse of True Soulmates

Scott asked Fatima to repeat herself. She ran it down again.“Look, not only are they fucking around, but they plan to move in together. Aeon, when is their apartment ready again?”

“It’ll be ready the week after next. Jordan, if you think this is a joke, call her, and I’ll dictate the conversation from her side.”Fatima knew that Aeon’s blood pressure was rising.“It might take her a few rings to answer since his dick is currently down her throat.”

It sounded like the phone fell.“Text us your address. We are on the way,” Scott instructed.He preferred live evidence. He knew something was up with Erin, but never in a million years would he have guessed this was it. After Fatima gave them instructions about where to park and where to come when they got there, Scott said they would be there in less than ten minutes.

“Oh, this is about to be entertaining,” Aeon hated to admit. “They better not tear my apartment up, Fatima. Your messy ass.”

Fatima laughed. “Shit, best friend, I already know your heart hurts. If seeing his two best friends beat his ass makes you feel better in the moment, then that’s what it’s going to be. We about to watch white folks, white folk.”

She knew she couldn’t mend Aeon’s heart, but she also knew that small instances of gratification would make her feel better at the moment. Plus, Troy needed his ass beat. Fatima also knew that her best friend was not a fighter, so the likelihood of her testing her hands on that Erin bitch were slim to none. It was a good damn thing that Fatima Lewis came out the pussy swinging.

Scott did ninety the entire way to Fatima’s house. He followed the instructions she gave them about where to park. When she heard the light knock on her back door, she answered it. “Hey, fellas. Please come in and join the party.”

Fatima and Aeon could agree that Scott, Jordan, and Troy were very attractive men. They were all active in the gym and were always well groomed. Scott and Jordan worked for a gaming company. They were able to turn their love of playing video games into a career. Troy wanted to follow their career path, but his parents refused to pay for his college if that was his plan. He followed his father’s career path as a lawyer.

“Hey, Scott and Jordan.” Aeon greeted them with a low, monotoned voice. “It’s been a minute. Sorry to see you both under these circumstances.” She glanced at the television. “Oh, finally. Jordan, please come see your best friend fuck your girlfriend in the ass.”

From the doorway of the room where he and Scott stood, the screen of the television couldn’t be seen. Scott was the first to step into the room to see the television. Scott’s heart broke for his best friend, and his anger was prepared to ride for him. “What the fuck! How do you want to handle this, Jordan?”

Jordan couldn’t believe this shit. His best friend since childhood betrayed him in the worst way. The fact that Troy was fucking Erin but still went with him and Scott to pick out the engagement ring that Jordan planned to present to her at her birthday dinner in a few weeks made the knife in the back a little bigger.

Jordan’s attention didn’t leave the television. Erin was getting drilled in the back door in the most disrespectful way. Just as painful as it was for Jordan to see, it was for Aeon too. Everyone in the room learned that Troy and Erin talked shit about the sex game of their partners in the commission of their sexual act. After another minute, Jordan turned his reddened face to Aeon. “Let’s go pay our exes a visit.”

“Ok, we can do that. Scott and Jordan, please don’t tear my house up. Anything you break, you will pay for,” Aeon told them. She worked hard for the things that she had.

Scott and Jordan had no problem with that. It was so much not a problem that they asked for her Zelle information. Within two minutes after they received it, each of them sent her fifteen hundred dollars.

“Well, damn, y’all about to go in there and fuck it up, I see,” Fatima said with a titter. “Let’s go before they finish. Not sure if Troy is a minute man.” She side-eyed her best friend.

Aeon didn’t talk about her sexual relationship with Troy often. He was her first and only, but in the last year, they hadn’t been as active as she would have liked. Now she understood why.

The four walked out of Fatima’s front door to take the few steps to Aeon’s door. After the door was unlocked, they all stepped into the house quietly. Troy and Erin were none the wiser because of their loud fucking. Aeon told them that she would be the one to walk in on them since it was her house. Jordan would be the secondary, unexpected surprise. She told the rest of them not to come into the room until she told them to.

With her hand on her doorknob, Aeon closed her eyes then took a deep breath. When her eyes opened, she was focused. She opened the door. “Well, what do we have here?”

“Ah! Oh my God!” Erin was mortified. She crawled toward the headboard, grabbed the sheets, and covered her naked body.

Troy was so shocked that he just stood there. This was not how he wanted her to find out about him and Erin. He genuinely cared about Aeon, but he didn’t love or want to be with her. Troy wasn’t sure if he ever really did. He snapped out of it when Aeon pushed his chest. “Ae . . . Aeon, what are you doing here?”

“I live here, stupid. Yeah, I’m not about to do all of this stupid shit. You’re in here fucking your best friend’s girlfriend!” Aeon glanced behind him at Erin. “Does your man know you’re in here being a ho, Erin?”

Tears flowed down her cheeks. She didn’t feel bad about what she did, but she did feel bad that she got caught. This was not how she wanted her boyfriend to find out either. In a perfect world, she and Troy would have already moved into their apartment. Neither of the parties were naïve with thethoughts that this situation had the potential to turn volatile. Erin lifted her hand before she spoke. “Please, don’t tell him.”

“Oh, I don’t need to tell him shit,” Aeon said venomously. With an arched brow and crossed arms, she stepped to the side to clear the doorway. “Jordan, look what we have here.”

Jordan walked into the room with his hands pushed into his pockets. His face was a very unattractive shade of red. When Fatima walked in shortly behind him, Aeon wasn’t surprised. Her best friend rarely listened to her.

Fatima walked in first with tight eyes. She bumped Aeon’s shoulder before she said, “I see you getting sassy in here.” She peeked at Aeon. “Are you alright?” She was worried about her heart rate. Aeon confirmed that she was fine at the moment.

Troy’s stupid ass still stood there naked with his limp dick swinging. When Jordan then Scott stepped into the room, the color drained from Troy’s and Erin’s faces. “Wow! When I woke up this morning, I never thought that I would find out that my best friend from childhood and my girlfriend were fucking behind my back.” He glanced over his shoulder. “Scott, did you see this coming?”

Scott scoffed. “I knew something was going on with Erin. A few weeks ago, she told you that she was hanging with Tara, but I knew that was a lie. Tara was out of town. I never thought it would be Troy.” Tara was Scott’s girlfriend.

Troy finally grabbed his boxers to put them on. Once they were on, he found his words. “Jordan, it wasn’t meant to happen, but it did.” His eyes bounced between everyone in the room. “We never wanted to hurt you or you, Aeon.” His eyes softened. “Jordan, I love her, man.”

The room was stone silent for a moment. Jordan’s head dropped. His shoulders lifted and fell at a semi rapid pace.Ah, shit!His head lifted. “Cool.

The same way that you love her, I need you to love this beat down.”
