will like it, it’s a comedy.” Carlisha buckled up her seat belt. She smiled at the fact of being chauffeured. It had been a while since she’d been a passenger in a vehicle.
They pulled up at the movie theatre at twelve-forty. Carlisha waited a moment in her seat to allow Roger the opportunity to open the car door for her, but he had already made steps toward the building before he realized she wasn’t beside him. Annoyed, she opened her own door and walked toward him as he waited.
“I have to pick up our tickets from the machine, can you get me some popcorn and Raisinets with a medium Coke.” Carlisha was about to make her way to the kiosk to retrieve their tickets, but stopped when she heard a female voice call out Roger’s name.
“Roger, Roger, Roger,” a tall, beautiful, heavyset woman said, walking toward them accompanied by another female.
“Damn!” Roger said under his breath along with a couple cuss words.
Carlisha stepped closer to Roger to take claim of her man as she watched the women approach. Roger tried to step away from her, but Carlisha caught him by the arm. She was curious as to whom these women were but she wanted them to know that Roger was hers and the father of her unborn child.
“Does your wife know you’re out on a date?” The heavyset woman roared at Roger then looked at Carlisha suspiciously.
The world suddenly stop spinning at that moment and it took Carlisha a minute to allow the woman’s words to sink in. “You’re married!?” Carlisha shouted yanking her hand away from Roger. “You’re married?”
“Look Nicey, this isn’t what it looks like, alright? This is my boy’s girl, he’s already in the movies she and I just walked in together, that’s all...” Roger looked cool and relaxed as ever making Carlisha look like the crazy one ranting and raving about him being married.
“Really?” Nicey said skeptically then walked off. Her silent friend was right on her heels.
“Will you calm down, damn!” Roger snatched Carlisha by the arm to get her to stop hollering like a maniac.
“Calm down! Are you married?” Carlisha snatched her arm back away from him bringing her voice down, they already had people pointing and whispering about them. She couldn’t believe how nonchalant he was about her finding out his big fat lie, she immediately felt like a complete fool.
“Yes I’m married. But that doesn’t have to come between us–” SLAP! Carlisha swung her hand flat on his left cheek which caught him completely off guard. She dashed away toward the exit not looking back. Nicey and her friend watched the whole scene while in line for their snacks.
Carlisha dug in her purse for her car key. She was thankful that Roger had given it to her after he drove, because he said it was too bulky for him to keep in his pocket. She sat in the car before allowing the tears to erupt. I can’t believe he’s married. I was helping him cheat on his wife! Carlisha agonized in her mind. Oh God! I slept with a married man and I’m having his baby. “How did I allow this to happen?” Carlisha buried her face in her hands as she sobbed. That’s it! I’m not going to get caught up again. I’m keeping my cookie to myself until I find my own husband. She brushed the tears from her eyes and started the car. She was done crying over Roger. But she looked toward the movie theatre disappointed that he didn’t even run after her.
Chapter 14
Pete was sitting in his car as he stared at the entrance of the grocery store. The car was still running but he had turned down the radio. He contemplated whether or not to go in and… ask Debra to go on a date with him. Pete knew she was working today, he had figured out her working pattern. He had convinced himself of a great approach last night – walk up to her, place his items to purchase on the conveyor and confidently say, “Hi Debra, I would love to take you out on a date, are you interested?” As he thought about it again
