Raven

34

Raven was on her way to see Marco.  Everything Shelly told her was playing back in her head

"No, I fuck your man every night. "

"He makes love to me"

Her mind was playing all types of tricks on her,  but she was becoming more furious thinking about it.  She grips the stirring tight shedding a tear.  She gave this man chance after chance. Stay by him while he treated her like shit and disrespected her. She pulls up to the jailhouse shutting her car off.  She whips her tears getting out of the car.  Walking through the gates she tries to keep it cool.

20 minutes later Marco comes out smiling. Happy to see Raven.  He comes and sits down.

"Hey baby," He said seeing her look down "You good?"

Raven sits there playing with her jacket zipper.  Marco notices a cut on her eyebrow.  "What happened to your eyebrow? " he asked

Raven sits up still not looking at him. "You've been sleeping with her this whole 2 years? " She asked finally looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Marco noticed seeing her hurt "Look I can explain everything.  But I can't right now"

"Oh, you can't?  YOU CANT TELL ME YOU BEEN FUCKING THIS BITCH! " Raven yells.

"Raven it's not what you think"

"THINK! " Raven said getting up walking around to him slapping him "WE DONE!  I MEAN COMPLETELY! " She said about to walk away

Marco grabs her hand.

"Aye no touching," a male police officer said

"Man shut the fuck up, bro. Raven!" he looks at Raven "I didn't  have a choice"

"DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE?  WHAT DOES THAT MEAN" she said "STOP TOUCHING ME! FOR HER TO TELL ME YOU BE MAKING LOVE TO HER AND YALL FUCK EVERY NIGHT? "

"Baby," Marco said

Raven slaps him again "I'm DONE! " She said walking out.  Marco becomes pissed going back to his cell. 

Walking out with tears in her eyes.  She couldn't hold back.  She felt so hurt.  She pulled off getting herself back together. Her phone began to ring. 

"Hey, where are you? " Naomi asked

"Just leaving the jailhouse"

"You okay?  I know it was probably hard for you"

"I'm okay.  What's up though? "

"Grabbing something to eat,  just wanted to see if you wanted to meet me"

"Yeah.  Where? "

"The diner y'all use to work at. " Naomi said

"Be there shortly" Raven said hanging up and going to the diner.  She pulled up and got out seeing Naomi already inside. 

"Hey sis," Naomi said

"Hey," Raven said setting her purse down and looking down at first

"I'm sorry about what happened last night"

"Don't be sorry.  It's just bitches be jealous of you trying to steal something they couldn't have.  But she can have him now" Raven said

30 minutes later.

Naomi and Raven got up to leave.  Raven stops when she sees Llody in front of her. 

"Why are we always bumping into each other? " Raven said smiling.

"Maybe we were meant to be." Lloyd said smiling "How are you? " he asked

"I'm fine.  Just taking it day by day.  How are you? "

"I'm good now that I saw you"

Raven smiles as Naomi watches. 

"Look I know you have a man...

"Did," Raven said

"Well, now I know you don't have a man. Let me take you out" Lloyd said

"Maybe," Raven said looking at his lips then back up at him.  Which he notice. 

"Maybe or a yes? "

"I'll like that," Raven said as they exchanged numbers. 

"I'll text you when to be ready tomorrow"

"Okay.  Nice seeing you again" Raven said seeing him walking away. 

"Girl you sure you want to go out already? " Naomi said looking at Raven

"I mean my ex-man was fucking behind my back for 2 years and what 7 months? Yeah I'm very sure" Raven said

"Okay. " Naomi said as they both got in their cars and drove away. 

Raven pulled out her phone calling Eve. 

"Hey boo," Eve answered. 

"Lloyd asked me out"

"Like on a date? "

"Yes.  And I said yes"

"Wait.  Did you ever go see Marco? "

"Yes and I broke up with him"

"Raven you sure this is too soon? "

"You and Naomi said the same thing.  But I'm going on a date.  What's wrong with that? "

"You don't know this man.  At least you stayed with Marco to see how he was"

"I'm going on this date.  Bye" Raven said hanging up.
