I took a leave of absence from school and for a week, I didn’t leave my home and barely left my bed. I answered no phone calls although I received many. Alex had kept his promise and I had not heard from him nor had he come back. I imagined he was living it up with his wife, kissing and pleasing her just as he had done me. I had something that she would never have though. I knew his secrets and in my mind that made me better than her.

A call from my lover confirmed that she knew about her husband and me. He’d come in with the scars of his infidelity like wounds from a war and had confessed in an effort to hurt her like she’d hurt him. She’d left message after message on my phone, threatening to fuck me up when she saw me. Then her husband’s phone calls came and when I finally decided to pick up the phone, he apologized.

“I want you to know how sorry I am. I was drunk and you know I love you. Why do you have to always make me regret falling in love with you?”

“I didn’t ask you to fall in love with me,” I answered. “And what does that have to do with you trying to kill me?”

“I wasn’t trying to kill you. I wanted to scare you.”

“You punched me in my fucking face and shot at me. I’d say you were trying to kill me.”

“Why you have that other nigga in the pad I bought for you, Vix? That shit ain’t kosher.”

I could tell he was in his office at work. I could hear Coltrane playing in the background and he always played that in his office.

“So you only bought me this place to keep tabs on me and with the stipulation of not having sex with other men?”

“Something like that.”

“You never said that to me. If you had I’d still be in that hotel room looking for my own place.” I sighed, shook my head, and stood to go look at my face in the mirror. The swelling had gone down but the bruises and the pain were still there.

“You really thought I’d be okay with another nigga in the house I bought? Don’t be stupid all your fucking life, Vix.”

I frowned at my phone and hung up. Screw him if he thought he could change me and keep tabs on me just by putting me in a house. He was fucking with the wrong one and if he thought I was stupid he had another think coming. I checked to make sure the deed was really in my name and it was. I’d embarrass his ass and take him to court if he tried to take the house away from me. It would ruin his image and the career he built. I’d make sure of it. He’d pissed me off and I felt as if I hadn’t been in a good mood since Alex walked out of my place.
