Memories Of The Sun - Chapter 12 CHAPTER TWELVE

By Prescoviah Merilyn

“baby what are you doing here?” he asks quietly. Ashanti is still down.

What am I doing here? What are you doing here? Great, of course your here fooling around with my best friend…and I have been cheering you two on. How long has this been going on? But of course that does not matter because I was out of town.…and left you two lovebirds all alone. So how does she taste? Oh, your going to give me the ‘you should have called ‘ shit. Of all people, you choose to screw Ashanti … I was right about that freaking Audi outside, I knew it was familiar… It was yours idiot.. Mating in water with my best friend, my sister…you fish. And all you can say is what am I doing here?

I will answer your question. I came back, didn’t inform your ass….or your bitch’s here… who by the way has been my bestie. So I came to surprise her ass, only to find her pumping my boyfriend so hard in the shower! Yes he is my freaking boyfriend.…So it’s your turn, what are you doing here? My mind exhausted. God, I can’t breathe!

I help myself sit on the bed.

“Vaneessa” he is coming to me. Please don’t.

“baby it’s not what you think it is” he kneels down holding my hands.

“look baby… I missed you…a.. And I went crazy… You know how you freak me out.” Of course I freak you out to fuck my only friend.

I want to smash his face. I don’t want to listen to whatever he has to say. It’s not what I think it is? I have watched them consume themselves up for minutes.… twenty seven freaking minutes!

“baby I felt awful and came here… at Ashanti ‘s to have a cold shower… Yes.. A cold shower.. Right Ashanti?” she says nothing but keeps passing her fingers through her Brazilian wig. Bitches!

I get up, quiet and as I reach for the door. Evans pulls my hand. “Baby please say something, it was just a shower… with a friend… It’s not what it looks like.. Babe…I was bored, you weren’t there?” But Ashanti was? Wasn’t she?

Ladies, what do men think we are? A race of pancakes ? The weaker sex? I have heard unimaginable excuses related to infidelity over time from men. ‘it’s biological, am a man, so I should spread my seed… It’s just normal to have many women.’ ‘It’s just sex, nothing more.’ ‘I didn’t know what I was doing.’ And everytime, they do it, they act like they are not the ones to blame… It’s always our fault. For Evans he was bored… His father cheated too because he felt like Evans’ mom wasn’t the same… She had changed!

So you marry someone for over twenty years and expect them to be the same? What’s wrong with you men???? The stupidest sex. They came out kissing, legs wrapped around him. They were probably taking it to the bed or the floor if I hadn’t opened my mouth. But right now it’s not what it looks like. What is castration again?

“Vanessa please look at me.. ”

“Enough already!” Ashanti slams approaching us. She has been watching from a corner, now she is done. Let’s see what my Ajudas has to say.

“We did nothing wrong… You aren’t a couple, we all know that. You guys don’t love each other anyway, what’s the big deal? It’s not the first time… We have been doing it since highschool… So.” What????

She looks at me directly. Bitch still has the audacity.

“Look Vanny, we were going to tell you sooner or later… Am sorry you have had to find out this way… Evans and I love each other… He is marrying me.” Oh!

“Ashanti!!! ” Evans roars from her back.

“What baby, I love you, you love me”

I surge out, I can’t take it anymore. What a bitch! I can’t believe it! I never thought our relationship would break because of a man… And of all men the lunatic, Evans? And That bastard too, of all girls, Ashanti! I resent them both.

I storm out of the house and climb into my car. Evans is on my back, in towel… Poor Tommy has to watch this. I lock myself in.

“babe please open up”

”Stop banging my freaking car even if your the one who bought it.” I shout from inside. I wish I had carried my dad’s gun. Am set to kill…

When I reach home, I say nothing but ascend to my bedroom. I close myself in, then bury my body in bed.

Evans drags me away from Simeon yet he is here sleeping with my best friend? I don’t love him, yes. But it hurts.
