Hold Up

Yesterday...


I made a run to the mall in the middle of a day to pick up something that I had been meaning to get for weeks. Q and I had just got off the phone and I couldn't help but walk thru the mall grinning about our convo. I spotted a friend at the makeup counter in Nordstrom and went over to talk to her, 5 minutes into my conversation I felt a tap on my shoulder...


It was her, the chick from the bar/lounge that had cut her eyes at me all night.

TC: Hi, I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to you that night at the lounge, I'm Lauren.
Me: Oh, well nice to meet you, Q told me you and him used to work together? [Phony smile]
TC: [laughing] Work together? Why would he say that..hmm? No we dated....for a long time.

::I was trying not to show my obvious shock, but I'm so bad with facial expressions::

Me: Oh ok, well it was kind of loud in the lounge, maybe he did mention that [I lied].
TC: Yea me and Q have always had this on and off relationship...right now we're off, but we always find our way back to each other.
Me: Interesting...well you have a great day, I'm going to finish shopping.
TC: You too...oh and tell Q I said hi and I'll be giving him a call real soon.


PAUSE: No this biatch didn't! UGH. I wanted to scream, slap the hell out of her, and pull those long misguided tracks out of her head. Instead I bit my tongue and just walked away, besides she wasn't worth going to jail. [I have a clean record].


I immediately called Q once I got to my car and told him that I would be busy tonight and he didn't need to come over. He asked me why twice...and my response..."because I'm busy." I knew he was confused and maybe a little bit hurt, but I didn't care I was pissed. However, my boy told me not to play games with him and just tell him what happened, so I did.


I explained the entire scenario that had happened at the mall, Q assured me that this chick was absolutely no one important and just someone he'd...well....had sex with on more than one occasion in the past, but she was def nobody special. He was so mad that he wanted to leave work early and come over and explain in person, but I wasn't having it. Instead I went to a concert with my ABC [ace boon coon] and tried to forget about everything.


But I couldn't....


By the time I got home it was past midnight and Q insisted that I let him come over even if it was just for 5 minutes to explain. So I let him...[mistake].

I opened the door with a blank [purposefully] expression on my face and tell him to come in. He sits on the couch and starts telling me the truth about this [wack ass] broad.



Q: Look we never "dated" per say. I never took this chick anywhere besides star bucks or some local diner if that. It was sex, that's all it was and if she thinks otherwise then she's highly mistaken.
Me: So when was the last time you "dealt" with her?
Q: At least 6 months ago. When you saw me talking to her in the club I was just being cordial, it wasn't what you thought.
Me: Well she said you guys have an "on again-off again" relationship...is that true?

::crickets::

Q: Yes. Well it was true..but there won't be anything on again with her..ever again. Believe that.
Me: Believe that? Why should I Q, you lied to my face! You made me look like an idiot...why?
Q: The only reason I told you she was a co-worker is because I didn't want to cause drama and ruin your night out. I really had planned to tell you. Besides sweetheart, this girl is not anyone I would ever have a serious relationship with. I can name at least 7 dudes she's been with off the top of my head. She's grimy, she even tried to get down with her girl's man. Come on now..I don't want her...I want you.
Me: Well prove it...and don't lie to me again. There's nothing more in this world I despise more than a liar, just tell me the truth. I'd rather hear it from you than from someone else.


::pulling me into his arms and kissing my forehead::

Q: It won't happen again, I promise.
Me: Ok...


...We went to sleep, but I slept far on the other side of the bed.


FYI: To my fav person [ you know who you are] I'm glad I waited .
