Pt 4 - DECEIT

.........."Oh Mannie you're so screwed. Tiff told me that Ashley has been mad at you for months now. She said the first time she saw you and Valerie together she was talking all kinds of shit about how you could have done better and all that. Then when she heard that you bought a new house, as much as she tried to hide it, she seemed majorly upset about it. But what totally fucked her up was your new whip. She saw you driving your benz some weeks ago and that was when she exploded. According to Tiff, Ashley believes that you played her. She said you were pretending to not be financially stable. Then after you guys broke up, you waited barely four months and hooked up with the new girl and now you showing off all these good things. Shawtie feels that she invested time with you and I believe she's trying to collect her dues. Nothing a woman hates than seeing her ex doing way better after he leaves her"

I listened to all Shea told me in absolute disbelief.

"This bitch don lost her damn mind yo. Shea are you serious about all these or you just playing?"

" Mannie, I'm not about to play with something like this. If that bitch made you fuck her like you said and you did it without, dude I think someone's going to be telling you about her missed period real soon."

Oh my God, this can't be good. Just when things started going so well. All I needed to do was use my head for a few minute but no. I just had to let Junior do the thinking for me.

"So Shea what should I do bro? I' confused as hell right now." Shea thought for a minute, "Ok first things first, I know your dumb ass is probably planning a confession to Val, well forget it, Val is never going to find out about this and you ain't telling her shit aiight?"

I didn't want to hide something so big from Val, "But if I don't tell her and she finds out?"

"She is not finding out Mannie, plus we are not even sure if Ashley is really trying to do this crazy shit so let's just watch and see. If she tries something stupid, then we'll know how to handle the broad. Anyways dawg I really need to get back to my research cause I have a 10am meeting with my client. But make sure you keep me posted aiight?"

"I will Shea, you're the best. Thanks."

As I hung up the phone, my mind was racing. I was way more disturbed now than I was before calling Shea. There were so many things I wanted to do, so many things I had to do. But one thing I had to definately do was to hold off on that marriage proposal. Looks like Val would not be getting her beautiful ring as soon as I thought she would. I had to hold that off, at least till I was sure this nonsense was over with. Just as I finally nodded off, last thought on my mind is Val. How I loved her. I wouldn't want a family with anyone else but her. Deep within I knew for sure I would do anything to keep my relationship. WHATEVER IT WOULD TAKE. Having known Shea for more than 16 years, I knew his plan could involve some drastic measures.

But I love Valerie so much. I'll do whatever it takes.


Pt 3 - SHEA

"Sweet heart?" Her voice piercing my soul.
"You know when you said we would be open to eachother about everything? "
My mind is racing, what is she talking about? Oh no, that bitch didn't tell Valerie about our little mistake in my basement.
Cautiously I answered, "yes baby I remember." "Well Mannie, I just need you tell me the truth about something. Please do not lie to me." By this time I was so sweaty that I could barely keep my grip on the phone receiver.
"Well errr... well what is it?"
Gosh was I stuttering? What an idiot. I probably just gave myself away.
"Well Mannie, when you looked in the mirror this morning, didn't you kinda feel you needed a hair cut? Because baby you look like a bum. I mean I know you think you could rock that fro thing but it's not for you baby. I really think you should cut your hair. You look all sexy and mature when your hair is neat and low."
That's it? That's what you got me all worked up for? At that point, all I could do was breath a sigh of relief... "Aiight love, I'll go get a hair cut tomorrow. But I really wanted to grow my hair back and start braiding it again like I used to do back in college. My baby comes first so I will cut it for you."
"Ok thanks Mannie." That voice, oh that voice. So innocent, so loving, so so Gosh. And me? So undeserving of anything she gives to me, what a dog. I had to talk to someone about this. Shea, yea he would give me good advice.
Shea and I had become real close friends back in College. He could be described as a man whore. Anything about women, ask Shea. Wait a min, why ask Shea about something that concerns love? What would he know? But then Shea was not just my friend, he was also my fraternity brother from back in Nigeria. We had been members of a secret group known as the Black knives before we left Nigeria and coincidentally we both ended up at The University of Maryland in College Park. I would call him up.
After saying goodnight to Val, I looked through my address book. There...Shea and I dialed.
"Mannie !!!!!! The Boy fucking Wonder, Mannie freshazamiz himself? How the fuck you been dawg?"
" I'm aiight bro, look I know it's late and everything but..."
"You bet your ass it's late, it's fuckn 4am but I've been up for about an hour working on this huge case. Rich ass client got himself in some trouble with the law, but you know I'm the best, I'll get him out."
"Yea Shea you are the best. That's why I called you. Need advice man."
"Mannie you sound like you just had your dick chopped off. What's up?"
"It's that ex of mine. She's about to ruin me. Ok she came to my house and well you know shit led to shit and I fucked her."
"Well so, you fucked her big deal. Hope you kicked the bitch out afterwards, cheating ho."
(*Look who's calling another a cheating ho*)
"Nah Shea, I didn't kick her out but that's not the problem, I nutted in the bitch yo and I fucked her "without", brah ! I fucked the bitch without."
"And you think she's pregnant? Oh Mannie Mannie Mannie, you worry too much, she's probably on pills, WAIT A MIN....Oh shit I just remembered something. Mannie bruv, this ain't good. This can't be good. You might be in some shit dawg. You remember your ex's best friend Tiff? Well I hooked up with her like 2 weeks ago. Well we were talking and you came up in the conversation. And bruv it wasn't good. "
"Yo Shea slow down now.. What did she say?" "Well she said that your ex, Ashley, had told her that....................................
