“Just tell him Max!” Ebony demanded.
“You heard her. Just tell me.”
“It's not that simple Will.” She began.
“How can it not be that simple!?! Why would it be so har--”
I caught myself, I didn't need anymore to put it together. I don't know why it wasn't the first thing that popped into my mind. I guess I didn't want to assume and think that one of my best friends would hurt me. But at this moment, I knew better.
“You slept with him..” I said blankly. I knew I had it right. Max couldn't even look at me. Even Reed had a blank nervous expression on his face.
“Was it while I was dating him?”
She didn't answer.
“WAS IT!?!”
“Yes! Will I'm so sorry” She said breaking.
“The fuck you are! Don't talk to me anymore Max!”
“That's foul Max...” Manny said to her.
“I know it is Man--”
“DON'T TALK TO HIM!!” I said with all the anger in my voice. It made Max jump.
“Reed, you are the dog everyone told me you were. And let me tell you something, you might live in this city and go to the same school as I do, but I will never interact with you EVER!!”
“Yeah, it's cause you downgraded to a lame.” Reed said lookin' at Manny
“You obviously wanna get hit again. And fact is, anyone who hits their partner is lame. I ought to beat the living shit out of you for putting your hands on him.” Manny said palming his hands and rubbing them, he was getting angry.
“Calm down Manny. Lets just go.” I said starting to walk away.
“I love you Will!” Reed said as Manny and I walked away.
“You gon get it my nig, believe that!” Manny said to him.
“It's whateva man!”
I grab Manny and we walk out of the school to his car. I just throw my stuff in the back seat and slouch, I wasn't too happy. What kind of friend sleeps with their best friend's man?? What would be her motive to do that? As far as I'm concerned, Max is not a friend. My mind has just shut down with the events that took place just now.
“Where you goin bae?”
“With you, I can't look at her face!” I said breakin' down.
“Baby please don't cry over that dude OR that so-called friend of yours.” Manny tells me.
“Manny I just don't understand what would make her do that.!?!” I cried
“Willie, I really don't like to see you cry, just breathe baby.”
“I'm so hurt right now Manny. I just lost one of my good friends.” I said to him. Manny starts to slow down and pull over. He kisses me deeply and for that moment I forgot everything bad that happened.
“I'll be all the friend you need and more Willie. I made a promise, I'mma make you happy baby.” He said as he kissed me again. I loved his kisses..
“Let me take you out tonight..” he says
“It's a school night Manny!” I stated
“So, lets just have fun. Me and you, a movie then we can hit up the club. Come on please?” Dammit, see he knew how to break me. He'd look at me with big eyes and just shift 'em, then he would pout his lips.
“That's not gonna work Manny.” I lied.
“You sure??”
“Fine, we can do it!” I said as he smiled.
“What club are we going to?” I asked him?
“The Red Light babe, you know our spot!” He said with a smile.
I had a feelin' it wouldn't be our spot tonight though.
“You heard her. Just tell me.”
“It's not that simple Will.” She began.
