Chapter 11: Still Playin?

When I woke up I was in bed with Manny all hugged up on me. I could feel his chest moving up and down, it was a peaceful thing to watch. I get up out of the bed cause I had to take a mean piss, I look at my phone, it's 3:21 am. I walk out of the bathroom and notice Manny's phone is lit up. I look at the ID and it says “Trina”. I had half a mind to wake Manny up and ask him what the fuck was this, but I didn't. Instead I looked at the text message.

Trina: Can you get away tonight?

I couldn't believe my eyes, I just stood there and started cryin'. Is he really steppin' out on me? Why would he do that? I guess I was a fool to believe that he had changed. I almost just went to jail for this nigga! I guess I wasn't too quiet about cryin', I seen Manny wake up.

“Bae, what's up? Why you cryin'?” He asked me shocked.

I couldn't even muster up words. I just stayed there looking at him. That's when his phone vibrated again. I looked at it and it was Trina again.

“Is that my phone?” He asked. I still didn't say anything. He got up from the bed and charged at me. I pushed him back and he fell onto the bed. I looked at the next text message.

Trina: That night is gonna be special.. I just know it..

I couldn't do it, I couldn't take it. That just tore me up. I threw the phone at Manny and went to put some clothes on. I couldn't look him in the face, he was so ugly to me at this moment. He reached for me but I pulled back.

“Will please--” He started
“Please what nigga!!?!?” I looked at him like he was from some asylum.

I got up to go out of the dorm room and of course he tried to stop me. “Baby wait, please tell me what's wrong!!” He pleaded, I think he was about to cry... wow.

“Why don't you ask Trina!” I said turning around.
“Willie, that's really not what you think--” I slammed the door in his face before he could say anything else.

I walked out of the dorm hall and I heard him running after me. I called Ebony and told her to come and get me, that's when Manny caught up to me.

“Baby, let me try to explain.” He started.
“You have nothing to explain my dude.” I said not looking at him. The look on his face was one of defeat. He fixed his mouth to speak but nothing came out.

“That sure is some explaining playa.”
“Willie I promise it's not like that.” He said to me. I seen a tear roll down his face. This is crazy, no one's ever cried over me, but I was not about to give into that.
“So what is Trina to you?” I asked. I seen Ebony pullin' up.

“I can't tell you..”
“Are you fuckin' kidding me!?!?! You up here cryin' and askin' to explain yourself and you're not gonna tell me what you got goin' on with some sideline ho!!?!?” I scream at him. I didn't say anything.

“You ready to go Will?” Ebony said through the passenger window from the driver's seat.
“Yup, lets peel out!” I said opening the door.

“Willie!!? Please!! I just can't let you know right now.” Manny tried again.
“You should be able to tell your boyfriend everything.” I said rolling the window up. I told Ebony to drive off. She did as I asked and I didn't look back once.

I guess once a playa always a playa...
