I just stood there looking at him. I knew I didn’t hear what I thought I just heard.” Really, De’Anthony, that’s how you are going to play this. It isn’t my fault you cheated.’ McKenzie shakes her head, not even sure she wants to look at him right now. They’ve been together for a while now, and it was just that easy to step out on her. I mean, at least I was going to break up with him first, at the very least talk it over with him, but he didn’t even have the nerve to say anything to me. He was standing there looking at me like I was supposed to understand where he was coming from, not even trying to leave. So i make myself very clear to him.” If you don’t leave right now, I’m going to count to three and if your two-timing ” it wasn’t my fault’ having ass out of here I’m going to call Jayden, Gabriel, Marcus, and Christian and tell them what’s going on and see what they have to say.” She pulls out her phone to prove she wasn’t playing with him.
De’Anthony looks at her with a menacing expression on his face, then walks out. McKenzie slams the door, realizing she isn’t as pissed off as she should be, given the fact that she just broke up with her boyfriend and found out he was cheating on her all in the same day. She was, however, pissed enough to make good on her threat to call her brothers, though she texted them instead of calling cause she wasn’t sure how she would react telling them over the phone.
Hey, De’Anthony and I slip up. Don’t want to talk about it over the phone, so I am texting you. If you see him, though, kick his ass…
After sending the text to all of her brothers, she sat on the couch and tried to figure out what she should do next. On one hand, she feels that she should have seen what kind of guy Ant was turning into, and yeah, maybe she’s been a little busy with school, but the fuck. On the other hand, he is a grown man; I shouldn’t have to hold his hand and tell him every day that I love him, and because of that love, he shouldn’t cheat on me. I figured if he really was that unhappy, he should have said something beforehand. Just as McKenzie came to this conclusion, her phone went off.
WTF!!! What did he do? If he lays hands on you, we’ll fucking kill him.
She texted Jayden back.
No, he just told me he slept with someone else.
I doubt it was the only time, and the only reason I know.
Is because I called him over here to talk
And as soon as I said, I met this chick.
It all came out. I don’t want to get into it.
Right now, though, I just wanted
To let you guys know.
As soon as McKenzie ended her text to her brother, she got another one. Assuming it was De’Anthony either going to talk shit or try to kiss and make up, she was already getting upset. The name that was up, though, really gave her a surprise.
Hey, I don’t know if you remember me, but
We met at the coffee shop, maybe 3 weeks ago.
Ago. I just wanted to see how everything is.
Was going with you, since you haven’t texted me….
McKenzie looks at the text and figures if that’s not a sign from god, she doesn’t know what is. She does a little happy dance, then picks up her phone to reply.
Hey, yeah, I remember you, Yasmin, right?
I was going to text you right now. I had
a boyfriend, and depending on how this all
Played out, I figured it was best to settle.
Things with him first. How are you?
A few minutes later, she got her reply.
Oh, okay, yeah, that makes sense. I hope this plays.
out with us, getting to know each other better and
Seeing where it could lead. I thought we had a lot.
Of things in common when we last talked, or was
Is that just on my end?
After reading the text and not knowing how to reply, McKenzie just decided that telling her the truth was the best thing to do.
No, it wasn’t just on your end, but
I have never been with a girl before and
didn’t really start thinking about it until
Recently and diffidently, after we talked.
That’s why, besides the bf thing, I didn’t text
You, because I wasn’t really sure what to say or do.
My next text took longer to come, and just when I thought maybe I should have just faked it, my phone went off.
Well, I can see where you might overthink
The situation, but really whether you’ve been
with another chick or not doesn’t really
Matter to me. If you want to go slow and
Just see how you feel about the whole thing.
Is totally kewl with me. It’s up to you, though.
“Damn, I knew this was going to happen,” said McKenzie. She just wanted it to be easy, like Yasmin makes the decision and we just go from there… How am I supposed to know what I want if this is new to me? So I do the only thing I can do.
Can I think about it?
