Chapter Five

Dressed in a mustard colored pantsuit, I was ready to go to the comedy show with Carlos. Unfortunately, though, he was already late. It was a quarter to seven and this wasn’t like Carlos not to be on time.

All the news Rachel had broken to him must have delayed him. Earlier, I’d watched her rush into her apartment and pace the floor like a madwoman. She kept leaving messages for Carlos to call her back, and when he did, I saw her snatch up her cell phone and plop down on the couch.

“Where in the hell have you been?” she barked.

I couldn’t hear what he’d said, but whatever it was caused her to roll her eyes.

“Look, whatever, Carlos. I told you that I wanted you to cancel your plans with Ashley tonight and come see me. She’s such a bitch, and per our little conversation today, she’s pregnant with your child. So much for you not having sex with her anymore. I thought the two of you didn’t get down like that, or at least that’s what you told me.”

She paused to listen to whatever he was saying. This time, she pursed her lips and tapped her feet on the floor.

“Don’t be mad at me about it, and why are you hollering? I’m just telling you what she told me. She also told me that she’s seeing someone named Terrance. Maybe the freaking kid is his, but either way, you need to find out what’s going on. I’m so pissed right now. You should have heard the way that bitch talked to me today. I’m more convinced now that she knows something is up. She’s never been this cold.”

I sighed from the bullshit Rachel was spilling to Carlos and sipped from the cup of green tea. It was such a pleasure to see Rachel so unstable like this, and her demeanor kept a wide smile on my face.

She didn’t end her conversation with Carlos until six fifteen. That was why he was late and he didn’t knock on my door until five minutes after seven. I moistened my lips with my tongue and straightened my suit jacket before opening the door. When I did, Carlos looked me over from head to toe. His right eye twitched and the expression on his faced looked as if he had been to hell and back.

“I don’t approve of the color you have on. Go find something else to wear,” he said.

“But we’re already running late, Carlos. You said that you didn’t want to be late, didn’t you?”

“Bitch, late or not, go do like I told you to do.”

Sprinkles of his spit dotted my face and he shouted. I walked away from the door and went into my bedroom to change clothes. This time, I put on a short black dress that was strapless. A tiny slit that was in the front revealed my thigh, and the dress looked melted on my curves. Surely, he would love this.

I went back into the living room where Carlos was sitting on the couch with his suit on, smoking a joint.
