“Trina, don’t even…I know you, and there’s no way you gave up the goodies to some guy. I want details.”
“Chris and I had been apart over a year when I met Jamal.”
“Jamal…uhm, please tell me he was fine.”
She was silent, but the memories of Jamal were still there. “He was uhm…not like Chris.”
“That’s not telling me anything. Not like Chris could mean anything…short, light skinned, skinny, bald…what?”
“You got the bald part right.”
“Excuse me?”
“He was a little taller than Chris, dark like black licorice with strong hands and uhm…”
“Oooo Trina.”
“I was so nervous. He was very patient and it was okay.”
“Oh.” Trina heard the disappointment in Zoë’s voice. “I was expecting a little more.”
“What, did you think I was going to tell you he was better than Chris? Or that he made my toes curl and sexually took me to a place my husband never has? Or that intellectually he surpassed Chris? Or that when I’ve been pissed off with Chris and he insisted on making love, I zoned out and pictured myself with Jamal?”
“Yeah.”
Trina was silent at first. “The answer is yes.”
“Oooo Trina, all this time you’ve been having fantasies about your ex?”
“Not all the time, only when Chris ticked me off and I didn’t wanna be bothered with him.” Zoë started laughing. “What, like you haven’t done that?”
“No, I haven’t. Jordan takes care of business and, I don’t need to pretend I’m with someone else. Seriously girl, if that’s what you’ve been doing, then there’s a bigger problem.”
“Zoë, it’s not…”
“What led to the fight?”
“He’s been harboring resentment about this all these years,” she confessed.
“What? I don’t get it.”
“He’s still upset he wasn’t my one and only.”
“How long have you two been married?”
“Eight years.”
“Girl, he has issues.”
“He made me so angry, I told him to go get a hooker, and then we’ll be even.”
“Trina, you didn’t?” she gasped. Trina was sounding more like her and Kyla.
“I did. I apologized about Jamal even though I did nothing wrong, and he said he understood, that it was in the past. Instead, he’s been holding this inside.”
“Why did you apologize? For that matter, why did you tell him?”
“I didn’t want him to be surprised on our wedding night.”
