The Lies we Live

. I’m not sharing you with Dre, can you honestly tell me you’re not still sleeping with him, I don’t know why your still with him anyway. Reality set in, I can’t keep this up. I will have to choose! Rocco, we need to have a conversation about why I was so upset the other day. The doctor called me in to redo my ultrasound. The last tech was new, and her measurements were off. Well, it turns out she was at least a couple of weeks off, give or take a week which means the baby could be yours or Dre’s. Cynady! You have to be kidding me, Rocco said as he shook his head in disbelief. I can’t tell you how sorry I am Rocco. I never meant for any of this to happen. How could you be so careless Cynady! Careless, Careless, I said! I didn’t even want to sleep with you without protection! I never should have told you anything! I gathered my things and walked out the door and didn’t bother to close it behind me. I got halfway down the sidewalk when I heard the door slam behind me. He got some nerve calling me careless, I stated as I sat in my car. I was about to drive off when Rocco came running out of the house to stop me! Wait! Cynady! I continued to drive off as if I didn’t see him. My cell phone immediately starts to ring and its Rocco! I disregarded every call. I know he don’t think he can talk to me any kind of way and expect me to be ok with it! After the 10th time he called me, I blocked his number. My cell rings again and its Dre. I answered it not really wanting to talk to him either. Hello. Hey baby, I know you said you were going to stay at Kim’s house, can you tell me why she’s here looking for you, Dre asked. That would explain why she wasn’t home. I’m on my way home anyway, I quickly stated. Kim hasn’t stop by in months and tonight she decides to stop by, without calling no less. I finally made it home and Kim was standing outside. Dre was standing in the door. Why are you standing out here Kim, I asked? Girl Look at yo man! I don’t trust myself around all that sexiness! I see why your pregnant, Kim stated! Kim you don’t have any sense, I said as I shook my head. Dre walked to the car to help me with my things. He’s a gentleman! And he’s rich too, you a lucky b. I cut Kim off before she could complete her statement, don’t call me the B word, you know how I feel about that. I wasn’t, I was about to say you’re a lucky black woman, Kim stated. Sure! I said. Kim followed me in the house. This is a nice house, she stated as she looked around in amazement. I’ll be in the room babe, Dre stated and bent down to kiss my belly as usual. I asked Kim to give me a minute while I get out of my clothes. I was wearing a pair of maternity jeans that was cutting off circulation. I think my butt was growing just as fast as my stomach. Dre helped me up and accompanied me to the room. Cynady, is there something you want to tell me, Dre asked? What do you mean Dre? You told me you were at Kim’s house, but you were never there, Dre pointed out. How do you know, I asked? Your car came with a tracking device. Wait, you’ve been tracking my movements? I didn’t activate it until you left the hospital. I couldn’t understand why an ex would act the way he did unless he was still seeing you. Cynady, are you still sleeping with him? No! how could you even ask me that! Who lives at 4312 Brook lane? What! You’ve been spending a lot of time at that address. Wait a minute! You just said that you just activated the tracking device today! How would you know if I’ve been spending a lot of time at that address, I asked? Let me rephrase that, what I meant to say is, you never gave me a reason not to trust you until today. Are you going to tell me who lives there, or do I have to guess, Dre asked? Since, you have all the answers you tell me. Cynady get rid of your friend Now! When I saw how serious Dre was, I told Kim that I was really tired and if she could come back in the morning? I was about to tell you I had to leave, Todd is trying to get back together and told me to come over his house, Kim said. I gave her a hug and walked her to her car. Dre met me at the door, he had a look on his face that terrified me. I was so afraid of what he would do.
