“You ask her yet?”A woman’s voice rang through the phone from a distance.
“Mom,” Chris yelled back.
“Go on and ask.”She snapped back.
“Fuck,” he breathed in the phone.“Princess, my mom wants to meet you tomorrow.She’s cooking dinner, and she’s inviting you over and breathing down my fucking neck.”
His voice was low, so she couldn’t hear him but that did not stop me from almost losing my mind.
“What the fuck?”I exclaimed.“No, no.That wasn’t the deal, Chris.I’m not meeting your mother.Fuck.”
“Princess, calm down.”He snapped back.“Calm down.It’s just dinner.I had lunch with her today and she wanted to meet you, is all.Nothing major.I’m not proposing.We’re good.The same thing.”
He was good, but he wasn’t that good.There was no goddamn way I was meeting his mother and that was final.
“No!”I yelled back and then hung up the phone.
My next call was to Alexus because I was about to freak all the way the hell out.She didn’t answer, but I called right back two more times.
The phone picked up and Alexus greeted me.“Hey girl, you alright?”
“No.No, no.”I was shaking my head as shivers ran through my body.
“Camila?”I could hear my friend calling me through the phone.
“Yeah, I’m here.”I answered.“I know this is yours and Devin’s date night and all that mushy shit, but you won’t believe…well, I can’t believe…”
“Believe what?”She asked.
“Girl, a guy that I slept with,” my voice was slow and measured.“Well, you know.Uh, Chris.He’s uh...”
I paused as I begin to think about the past six months and being with him.As friends.Who was I fucking kidding?We might have been friendly, but it was more than friends.
“Well, he wants to date, and I told him ‘no dating.’I told him ‘just friends.’No nothing.He doesn’t listen, and I don’t know what to do.”I rushed out.
“Wait… so, let me get this right?”Alexus began to repeat her words back to me.“Ms.Camila Doyle, I only sleep with a man once because I’m not trying to have that talk.You meet a man who wants to be with you, and not only have you slept with him once, you can’t get him to stop?Did I get all that right?”
I blew out a frustrated breath because I should have known she was going to be no damn help.
“Fuck, why did I call your sarcastic ass?”I shook my head.
“Because you know I’ll tell you the truth, is why.”She laughed.“How’d you let this guy in?”
“I don’t fucking know,” Camila sighed loudly.“He’s a damn alpha, and I guess after he put that heat on me, I folded like an ironing board.Girl, I’m so serious.”
I could hear her giggling like a school girl and figured her man Devin thought we were both bat shit crazy.
“Well, then, what’s your next step?”She asked.
“I’m about to call him and break it off.No more fucking, meeting for coffee, Lazy Sundays, and no more of that man’s head between my legs.Holy shit!”I exhaled loudly and with a light whistle as the flashback reminded me how good it really was.“Whew!”
“That will do it,” She laughed again.
“Yeah, I’m going to break it off.”I sobered.“I won’t be sharing my catastrophic life with him; therefore, he needs to go.I’m not meeting his mom tomorrow, and I’m not going away to the Poconos next weekend.Okay, thanks Alexus.You’ve helped me a lot.I’m calling everything off.”
Then, I hung up the phone.
It had to be done.
