“You should have seen the look on her face when I told her about all the men I’d been with.”
“Did her eyes pop out?”
“No, but when I described how Sean had made love to me, she almost fell to the floor.”
“What! Have you been hold
ing out on me?”
“Listen. I told her he had made love to me like no other man, when he showed me how to love myself. Girl, all the color drained from her face.” They both laughed.
“I can’t believe you said that. Oh my God, what I wouldn’t have given to see the look on her face. Then what?”
“We were fine. She said once Sean and I are married, she wants all us girls to go on a spa vacation. She said Chris is an idiot and not to pay him any attention. Speaking of which, have you spoken to Trina lately?”
“No. What’s up? Is she pregnant again? I know they’ve been trying.”
“No. She left him.”
“What! I need more coffee.” Zoë didn’t drink alcohol, but she was a coffee junkie. Stressful conversations required strong, black coffee. “Wait a minute. Okay, you said Trina left Chris, when, why?”
“A couple of weeks ago and I’m not sure why. She called Sean and asked him to check on Chris because she hadn’t heard from him in a couple of days.”
“Is he all right?”
“Sean said physically, he’s fine. Mentally and emotionally, he’s not sure. He tried talking to him, but he wasn’t receptive.”
“Chris is an idiot. Where’s Trina?”
“She and Tyler are staying with her parents.”
“I’ll call her and let you know what I find out. Welcome to the family, girl.”
As soon as Jordan left, Zoë put Jordy down for his nap and called Trina. She waited impatiently as the phone rang. Trina finally picked up on the third ring.
“You left Chris?” she didn’t wait for her to say hello.
“Zoë?”
“I’m sorry, yeah, but I’ve been waiting all night to talk to you. Kyla told me last night. What happened? Are you all right? Do you need anything?” she was firing questions like a machine gun.
“Zoë!” she shouted over her rapid, high pitched voice.
“Oh, girl, I’m sorry.”
“That’s okay, I should have called you. I left him a couple of weeks ago. Tyler and I are fine. We’re staying with my folks. I’ll be back at work on Monday.”
“What happened?”
“Chris is…uhm…before…you know Chris and I were apart for a while before we got back together.” She got quiet. “I was with someone else before Chris,” she blurted out.
“I’m sorry, did you just say you gave up the goodies to someone other than Chris?”
“Yes.”
“Oooo, Trina. I need coffee.” She refilled her coffee cup. “Tell me everything.”
“It was just a guy,” she replied softly.
