“Second Chances… Featuring Delmar”

When we arrived to Corey‘s dinner at Copeland’s in Columbia, the guests turned towards Ty & I with distasteful regards in their eyes. The room was segregated; the conceited crew sat on the left side, as the gossip “queens” sat on the right side! Of course, Ty would direct me to sit on the right side with the gossip girls.

Following the stunt Ty pulled at the Gap, words barely escaped my mouth to his. The fraudulent moment pushed me over the edge, and I thought twice about hanging with him again. Any association with a thief could ruin my religious reputation. It is a hassle to remain ‘closeted’ no one will affiliate me with crafting. No wonder he’s always ragged because he steals that shit!

“Hey, how are you,” a heavy-set boy with a high-pitched voice greeted as I sat beside him.

“I’m good and yourself,” I smiled.

“Blessed, aren’t you the boy that used to talk to Raheem,” he asked.

“Yes, but that was a while back… why,” I asked.

“Nothing, just asking,” he said as his fat ass turned around and whispered in the guy’s ear sitting on the right side of him. How can people be so rude?

I turned to Ty on my left & told him the uncomfortable tension. He did not care; he was enthralled by the side conversations amongst everyone at the table.

“So what’s the tea, girls,” Ty asked.

“Girl, tea is the boy Deandre got the bug,” a light-skin boy with brown teeth said.

“The down-low trade, you know who I’m referring to. Tea is that he gave it to his baby mother and she’s telling him they must get married after giving the bug to her,” the fat boy said, as my eyes widened & I turned towards Ty. He pretended not to realize, but those peripherals saw every bone moving in my body. I could not believe my ears, I was hoped the former was untrue but living in Baltimore every rumor starts from a truth. If that boy gave me a disease, I swear I will find him & blow his brains out.

“What’s wrong, hun,” the light skin boy asked.

“Nothing’s wrong, I just think that’s sad if someone gave their child’s mother such a conflicting disease,” I lied.

“Yes for the vocabulary,” the fat boy laughed, as everyone joined in the chatter and laughed together. As time passed, I became comfortable with the people at the table and disregarded any feeling prior to approaching the restaurant.

“JEREMY,” Corey yelled from the table to run over to someone, and I prayed it was a different person with the same name.

“Bitch, is that the same Jeremy you were talked to,” Ty whispered pointing his finger. I lift my head & noticed “Mr. I want to marry a Guy” Jeremey.

“Yes, that’s him,” I whispered.

“Girl, I always thought he was cute! But they say he sleeps around,” Ty insisted.

“Are you serious,” I asked.

“Mmmhmmm,” he sipped his Mai Tai and shook his head. My heart dropped as
