I was heading to my class when I saw Manny. My plan with him was to still be cool with him, but there was absolutely no way that we would get back together, anytime soon anyway. My trust level with him was gone, and I mean gone. If he wanted that back then he was gonna have to earn it!.
“Hey Manny.” I spoke. He looked shocked that I even acknowledged him, lol. “Hey Willie, look I wanted to say that I'm sorry, I want you to forgive me.” I looked at him, I couldn't look too long cause hot DAMN that boy looked good, lol! “Manny I forgive you, but please understand, we're not together anymore and you're gonna have to earn my trust back, as a friend.” I told him. He looked kinda disappointed. “I understand that and I respect your wishes. I just wanna know something Willie.” “What's that?” He looked at me deep into my eyes, like he was staring at my soul. “You still got love for me?” Dammit!! Why did he have to ask that??
“Manny, you already know the answer to that. I'll always have love for you. I really don't want to let you know that I still love you, but I do. But please don't think that just because I told you that I'm gonna let you back in easy, because I'm not.”
“I understand Willie. I'm gonna do what I can to have your heart back.” Manny said. I could tell that he wasn't just puttin' on, he actually meant what he was saying. “Yeah, you gon have to put in overtime nigga.” I said with a smile. “Yeah, no vacations neither!” He said, it made me laugh. I couldn't lie to myself and say that I didn't like being with him because I did. Even though I loved to be around him, he still did what he did. I wanted to know why, where, when, and how it happened.
“Manny, what went down with you and Reed?” He looked at me then looked away. “We gon have to do this after class.” “Alright, bet.” I said extending my hand. “Damn a handshake?? Wow, I really fucked up!” He said smiling, then shaking my hand. With that we both headed to class.
After that, BORING, class I was kinda nervous to hear what Manny was gonna tell me. I really wanted to know how it all came about, but at the same time, I didn't. I saw Manny sitting at a table and I took a seat in front of him. “How was class?” he asked. “I'm glad it's over, you know how that goes.” I said smiling.
“Alright, let me get this out. I'm sorry, I know I hurt you and it's gonna take a lot of time for you to forgive me, but this is what happened. I was out at the Red Light just getting drunk. I was at the bar when Reed came up to me. He started talkin' all types of shit and I really was too gone to be fighting. He told me that you and Frank got up together so I figured, well an eye for an eye.”
“Wait Reed told you what!?” I said getting mad.
“He said that you fucked Frank.”
“Why didn't you ask me? What would make you believe him??” I asked.
“I guess it was the drinks. He dogged you out Willie. He said there's no point in confronting you because you'll just lie about it.” he said starting to tear up. “God I was so stupid! I'm so sorry Willie.”
“Manny, look at me. I forgive you, but you gotta help me with something.”
“I'll do anything.”
“Good, cause I need you to help me get back at Reed.” I told him.
“Ok, you got something in mind shawty?” He asked. “Oh yeah, I do!” I said with a laugh, and strangely it sounded like the one from the dream. I stopped as soon as I realized that.
“You ok Will?” Manny asked.
“Yeah, better than before.” I said smiling. This was gonna be real satisfying.
