Chapter 7

Dominique drove for close to fifteen minutes in complete silence. She wasn’t sure what to say, so she didn’t say anything at all. If sitting beside each other in the bar was awkward, riding with Kaleb in her passenger seat was even worse. She could feel the tension in the air. It was so thick; you could cut it with a knife. Not able to take the silence any longer, she lifted her arm and turned on the radio. When Jazmine Sullivan’s, In Love With Another Man, off of her Fearless album started to play through the speakers, she quickly hit the FM button. Dominique had forgotten that she was listening to that song earlier that day while she was, once again, lost in her thoughts of Kaleb. After changing the station to a hip-hop one, she sat back in her seat embarrassed, hoping that he hadn’t figured out that the song was for him.

“Once you get off the freeway, turn right,” Kaleb spoke. “Then at the BP, you make a left.”

“Okay,” Dominique replied, as she got off the highway.

Ten minutes later, they were pulling into the front of Kaleb’s apartment. Dominique shifted the gears and put her car in park as she looked up at the tall building. It looked to be about twenty stories high and had a dark colored awning in front of the entrance. Dominique could tell that it was expensive just by looking at the outside. There was beautiful shrubbery decorating the building, and she could see that each unit had a balcony. She was so caught up in looking at the structure; she didn’t realize that Kaleb was staring at her until she turned her head.

“What?”

“Nothing, just thinking,” he responded, still watching her.

“Thinking about what?” Dominique asked, even though she wasn’t sure if she wanted to know the answer.

“Do you want the truth or a lie?”

Without thinking, she blurted out, “The truth. You already know I can’t deal with the lies.”

“Why did you just shut me out like that?”

Dominique dropped her head. She already knew that this was what he was going to say. Unable to come up with the words, all she could do was shrug her shoulders. She knew she was wrong dead wrong to disappear on him without even attempting to give him an explanation. It was no doubt selfish of her to do so and unfair to Kaleb, who deserved to at least know that she was going to try to make things work with Deondre. It wasn’t his fault that she was confused as hell. At the time, Dominique thought that by ignoring his calls, somehow he would come to the conclusion that she was ending things between the two of them. Not once did she think that since she had done it on numerous occasions, that it wouldn’t mean anything. She didn’t believe that Kaleb figured that she was just doing her thing as usual and continue to call.

Finally, she whispered, “I don’t know. I guess it was my way of running away from the obvious.
