CHAPTER THIRTEEN
My phone vibrated.
And then stopped.
Did the same thing over ten times back to back. Whoever it was was relentless and refused to give up. Had been calling since the night before. I turned over and looked at the time which read 9:12 a.m. After looking at the time, I finally decided to get up and curse out whoever was fucking with my sleep. Anyone who knew me shouldâve known I didnât even like to get up before noon most of the time. Besides, the new love of my life needed his rest too.
I crawled out of the bed and walked over to my purse ass naked. When I pulled out my phone, I couldnât believe that there were twenty-two missed calls. All private of course. Who the fuck could it be, I thought as I scrolled down the list. I had to find out who was damn near harassing me.
However, before I could do anything, the âprivate numberâ called again.
This time I answered.
âValtrex!â he said out loud. âYouâre taking Valtrex?â The question was rhetorical, one that really didnât warrant an answer, although Iâm sure he wanted one. The man on the other end of my phone was Dr. Khan, and heâd obviously found the bottle of medicine that I intentionally left on his counter.
Herpes.
That was my big secret.
Had the STD for a while now.
I took Valtrex pills every day to reduce my outbreaks, but it wasnât long before another one would erupt. My shit was like clockwork. A week at the most and I would be blistered up. It wasnât a pretty sight. Vaginal discharge, headaches, sore muscles, fevers, the signs were all there. I had recurring outbreaks about eight times a year. Yeahâ¦all because of one manâs dirty dick, I had
a disgusting STD that would be traveling with me for the long haul.
Damn.
âYou have herpes?â he asked again.
I hope he didnât expect me to feel sorry for his ass. Thatâs what the fuck he got for having unprotected sex with a patient. Thatâs what he got for trying to just give me a measly thousand dollars. And thatâs what he got for telling me about what heâd planned to buy for his wife. He needed to be taught a lesson.
Permanently.
âYes, as a matter of fact I do,â I admitted, not able to elaborate any further. I was well aware that although Brice seemed to be knocked out, every shut eye wasnât asleep. I had to watch what I said. âNow, it looks like you might have it too.â
âHow could you do this to me?â Kahn screamed into the phone.
âBaby, is everything okay,â Brice asked when he turned over and realized that I wasnât beside him.
I froze, then hung up the phone with Khan immediately. I didnât give a fuck that he mightâve been still talking, or that he was still trying to figure this whole thing out.
There was nothing else left to say.
He shouldâve given me what I wanted.
âIâm fine,â I answered, then walked back over to the bed.
