I couldn’t believe how long I’d been with this woman. We’d lived together and planned out our entire lives. Shit. She’d become a constant in Blake’s life just for her to be playing stupid ass games.
I nodded to myself and made my way back to the living room. As soon as I saw her cheating, lying ass face I tossed her phone on her chest and punched her right out of her sleep with a solid right hook with as much force as I could muster behind it. Shejerked up and I punched her ass again before she gained full consciousness and hopped up.
“Man! What the fuck is wrong with you, Jayme?” Reena screamed.
“Nothing. Get the fuck out.”
“What?”
“You heard me.” I pointed at her. “Get your shit and get the fuck out. Let Z take you in because this lease is in my name and I lived here before I met you.”
I watched her eyes widen slightly at the mention of Z but she schooled her face well.
“What the fuck are you talking about, Jayme?”
“I’m talking about your insecurity having nothing to do with Arris and everything to do with the fact that you were fucking around on me and feeling guilty.” I scoffed. “You ain’t shit for real. Now, pack your shit and get the fuck out before I have to put my mothafuckin’ hands on you.” I clasped my hands in front of my body.
She chuckled.
“We’re both women, Jayme. I’m not Arris. I’m not going to just let you put your fucking hands on me.” She took a step toward me and I squared up and popped her in her shit again.
If she knew I put hands and feet on my gang banging baby daddy, I didn’t know why she thought she was exempt.
This time, she hit me back.
The two of us immediately started fighting. I felt my leg hit the coffee table and start burning instantly although I did my best to ignore the pain. We tumbled to the ground. I hissed through my teeth when Reena grabbed me by my hair. I did my best to elbow her in the throat and we slammed against the entertainment center while we fought and rolled around.
I heard the front door open but I couldn’t be bothered to even look up at Arris.
“Ay, ay, ay!” He closed in on us.
I calmed down immediately and he got Reena’s hand out of my hair.
I smiled automatically at the sight of her bloody nose.
Arris shoved her toward the couch and offered me both hands to help me to my feet. He grabbed my face in both hands and looked it over.
“You good?”
“I’m good. Reena was just leaving.”
“Word?” Arris looked back at her.
“You’re not?—”
Arris cut her off. “Ay. I don’t know what y’all got going on for real, but I want you to know that it wasn’t a question. It was a statement. Get the fuck out. You can get the rest of your shit tomorrow.” Arris flashed the gun tucked beneath his shirt. “Tonight ain’t the night to argue your case. Let’s still make it a good one, alright?” He nudged his head to the door. “Go ahead.”
Reena shot up and glared at me around Arris who now had one hand on his gun and his eyes fixated on Reena. She let her eyes go from me to Arris and she spit in his direction, the blood from her mouth landing square on the tan carpet.
“Fuck both of y’all and fuck whatever I had over here.” Reena sniffed. “I never fucking cheated on you, Jayme, and the fact you’d just believe some shit Arris probably told you over me says a lot about how you viewed our relationship.”
“Okay.” Arris walked to the door and jerked it open. “Talk that shit on your way out though.”
He gestured toward it and Reena scoffed and shook her head.
“Don’t call me when shit don’t work out with that nigga again.”
“I won’t,” I said with a smile on my face.
