CHAPTER 9

After scrambling for a parking spot at the hotel, I sat in the car for a few minutes thinking. If pussy was what I wanted, I could easily call Ginger or Candi up tonight for that. If reconciliation was what I wanted, I had no business reconciling with Jada and I knew it. And if peace of mind was what I went there for, I knew there wasn’t a chance in hell I was going to get it. But something inside of me just wouldn’t let me leave.

I hopped out of the car and went to her room. When I knocked on the door, she opened it and walked away. I locked it and leaned against the dresser looking at her sitting on the bed with attitude. It was after nine o’clock, so I tried to understand why she was upset.

“I apologize for being late. The movie took a li’l bit longer than I expected.”

“And I guess you’re going to apologize for hanging up on me, too. I could tell that bitch was in the car with you by the way you were talking.”

“Jada, the only other person besides Desmon who was in the car with me was Kareem.”

“Yeah, right. If you’ve moved on with your life then fine, go right ahead. I just want you to know how much hurt you’ve caused me,” she said, starting to tear up. “I thought we were going to be together forever. I never knew it would come to you choosing someone else over me.”

“Why do you feel as if I’m choosing somebody else over you? This has nothing to do with anybody else. When are you going to come to your senses and see that?”

“When you stop fighting with me and allow us to be together again. If there is no one else, then what’s holding you back? We’ve had many ups and downs, especially while we were in L.A., but we always managed to get through it. We had each other after your parents died, when my father died, when you wanted to drop out of school, when I wanted to; we’ve always had each other to lean on. Why does that all have to change?”

“Because, Jada, it does.” I went over to the bed and sat down next to her. I held her face with my hand and rubbed her soft cheek. “Do you even know how much you hurt me by sleeping with Donovan? I feel less of a man right now, because you stripped me of my pride. Made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. Now, I came clean to you a long time ago about my wrongdoings in L.A. but you never told me about you and Donovan. When I kept asking you what was wrong, you knew your attitude at the house reflected your feelings for him. You can’t tell me listening to him fuck other women didn’t the least bit bother you.”

“It didn’t, Kiley. I swear to you my sleeping with him was all about making you jealous.
