I’m going to be over in dresses.” Redhead Amber flashed me a look of disgust and she pranced away.
“You are just like my mother.” Sienna disclosed from her keen observation.
“No, Sienna that’s not true. Nothing is going on.”
“Yeah right, I saw you coming out the fitting room with that guy. I know who he is. He was Caleb’s little league coach.”
I had to lie. There was no way I could let Jack find out this way. I owed him more than this. I had to tell him myself. He couldn’t hear it from his daughter.
“Yeah he was the coach but he’s just a friend.”
“I’m not that stupid. You guys were holding hands.”
Damn! I’m up shit’s creek without a paddle, a life jacket or a boat. Think Bitch! Think Bitch!
“Sienna, we were not holding hands. He’s married. He’s just my friend. We were joking around like people do sometimes, being goofy.”
“Cry me a river Justin Timb erfake, you are a fake ass bird, chirping up a lot of bullshit. You pretend you care about my dad. You pretend like you care about me. My dad loves your fake ass.”
“Look girl, I’m grown. You are going to respect me. I’m not going to let you talk to me like this. I will pop you in the mouth.”
“And you will go to jail.”
“My brother has bail money. Please believe that little girl.”
“I hate you.” Sienna pointed her finger in my face. She turned away from me and I heard her mumble something about a fake ass SST.
What the fuck is an SST? Damn I feel like shit. I like Sienna. She’s hurt. It’s my fault. I know she likes me. I’m hurting too many people. This is hard. When I break up with Jack, I’m breaking up with Sienna and Caleb also. I can’t help that I love Mason. If I could help it I would have a long time ago.
My cell vibrated in my purse as I walked aimlessly about Macy’s. I retrieved my cell and saw I had a text from Elisha Willis, which was code name for Mason. I read the text message [I know that’s Jack’s daughter. Calm yourself. I’m in the Footlocker downstairs.]
I had been holding my breath. I exhaled and texted Mason back. [I’m on my way.] I shoved the cellphone back inside my purse and headed out of the Macy’s and into the mall.
Sienna is going to tell her father and then I’m going to have to tell him the truth. I have no idea how he’s going to react. Should I be scared? I’m not scared that he will physically hurt me. I’m just scared I will emotionally hurt him and in turn be emotionally hurt myself. Jack is the best stress and drama-free boyfriend any woman could ever have. He is really a Prince, the Prince of Denmark but the problem is I want the King, the King of the Jungle. Mason.
*****
I went to lunch with Mason and we really eat food this time. I didn’t want to talk about what just happened and he understood. We talked about other things. Mason was really trying to get my mind off the drama and I loved him for his effort. I was nervous, uneasy and panic-stricken thinking Sienna had called her father and told on me. There was nothing I could do about it. I was a big girl and I had to deal with the consequences of my slutty ass actions.
After lunch I went straight home. I showered and changed. My son was with my brother and his wife. He took Trey to a kid’s birthday party. My brother’s wife was pregnant with their first child but he had friends with kids. He always took Trey with him to the kids’ birthday parties. My brother was a good example of what a father should be. I hated how Lamar acted as a father. I blamed myself for getting pregnant by a man who just didn’t have the father gene.
I was sitting at hom e waiting for the bomb to drop, waiting to get my just desserts. I tried to be calm but I felt like a real snake. I didn’t want to hurt Jack. I didn’t want him to learn about my shadiness from his daughter.
Everything was put on pause when I got a surprise phone call. I was going to have a visitor. It was Karen. She called
