Chapter Eighteen

Rashawn

What now?

I stared at the floor, lost and confused. When I had walked through the door, the last thing I expected to see was Dex and Izzy arguing. Dex hadn’t spoken to her like that before and I could feel the rage.

Just when I was about to break it up, Dex spoke and everything came crashing down around me.Everything happened so fast my head spun.

When the door slammed behind him, I didn’t meet Izzy’s eyes. My skin tingled from her gaze.

“Is it true?” she asked.

I opened my mouth and then closed it. “What were you fighting about?”

“Don’t change the subject! Are you gay now?”

“Of course not!”

“Well, if what he said was true, you’re something. Tell me the truth. Do you fuck him?”

“No.”

She glared.

“We—we kissed and did other things,” I muttered, looking aside.

She didn’t say anything for so long that I turned back to her. She was staring at me with furrowed brows. “Oh my God. Now I get it. No wonder he was trying so hard to…” She trailed off chuckling. “He didn’t give a damn about me. It was you. He wanted to turn you against me.”

I blinked. “That’s nonsense.”

“Is it?”

“Did he start filling your head with nonsense about my drinking before or after he had his tongue down your throat?”

I bit my lip, my face scorching. “He wouldn’t do that.”

Would he?

Izzy sighed and walked over to me. She moved in close, placing her hands on my chest and searching my face. “I love you. You know that right?”

My chest tightened. “Of course.”

“Then please listen to me. He’s using you.”

I looked away, shaking my head. She grabbed my chin and turned my face back towards her.

“He’s using you. I would never hurt you.” She pulled my face down and kissed me. I relaxed into her, taking comfort in her warmth.

The next morning the sun shone through the room as it rose, pulling me from my slumber. I opened my eyes and glanced down at Izzy. Her head was on my chest and her leg and arm were draped over me. Her body was bare, only covered where the sheet wrapped around her thighs. I reached down, brushing a lock of hair from her face. She licked her lips but didn’t wake up.

Staring at her mouth my mind drifted to Dex and I swallowed around the ache in my throat. I was still angry, but I also couldn’t erase the deflated and helpless expression he had. I glanced at the window as the sound of steps on cement and the whistle of the wind drifted through the window.

Did he start filling your head with nonsense before or after he had his tongue down your throat?

What Izzy had said stung and I didn’t want to think about it, but I couldn’t shake it no matter what I did. I maneuvered my way out from under her, scooting off the bed. I peered at her as she wrapped herself around my pillow, still sound asleep. Maybe she was right, maybe all of this was about him getting to me and driving a wedge between Izzy and I.
