Our Parents Pain Came With Love

Chapter 64

-TIARA
The minute I close the door behind him and turn to him he slaps me across my face, I hold my cheek which is burning so much and feels pink because of the slap he just gave me
“I won't say this to you again. Play far from Mercy”
He says and then walks to the tap. I am still in awe that he slapped me, we do have rough sexy where he chokes me but he has never hit me before. He walks over to me after drinking his water.
“I’m sorry”
He says and then pulls my hand away from my cheek, he cups my face
“I’m really sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. Let me make it up to you”
He says and then makes me look up at him, he plants soft kisses on my lips and then he moves his hand on kisses me on my cheek
“I’m really sorry”
He says and I nod
“You forgive me?”
He asks and I find myself nodding. He looks like his normal sincere self
“Let me show you just how sorry I am”
He says and then picks me up and places me on the counter then slowly starts to kiss me with ‘I’m sorry’s’ in between his kisses from my face down to my neck. We are disturbed when there's a knock on the door
“Ignore it”
He says and I giggle
“It could be important”
I say pushing him away and jumping off the counter
“Wait for me in the room ok?”
I tell him and then walk up to open the door, I wait for him to disappear and then open the door
“Mercy what are you doing here?”
I ask her, the door is half open and I can't lie I am stunned to see her at my place now. She looks like she’s been crying, her eyes are red and all puffy
“I need a friend”
She says and sniffs in between, I turn my head a little and then return my attention to her
“Now is not a good time”
I say and she sniffs
“I’m sorry for just showing up at your place unannounced. I didn’t know who else to go to, he’s cheating on me Tia. Yanga is cheating on me”

-MACELLA BROWN
After Aya’s crazy suggestion I decided to let my emotions run wild and cry the tears I’d been holding back and then request walk out of the bedroom whilst requesting an uber to Tiara’s place. I’ve been there maybe once since she and I met. I pay and then get off and head inside her complex, I spot Yanga’s car parked outside her block but I focus on the matter at hand, yes I’m pissed right now and knowing that he left me at his place to come to this girl only angers me more. I can't believe I’m about to do this but lets hope Aya’s suggestion plans out. I walk up the stairs and then knock on her door, she opens after a while and after telling her what happened she lets me in and closes the security door behind her.
“I’m really sorry for showing up unannounced”
I say in between my sniffs
“It's ok. Can I get you water?”
She offers and I nod, she walks over to the tap with the glass that was on the counter top and she washes it before pouring me water from the fridge
“What happened? How did you find out?”
She asks, I begin to narrate everything to her leaving out that it's her and starts crying all over again. She brushes my back
“Oh honey I am so sorry”
She says, if I wasn’t so mad I’d probably laugh at this situation. She comforts me until I’m calm
“Ice cream?”
She offers and I nod
“May I sit in the lounge please?”
I say and she thinks for a second before smiling and nodding
“Of cause friend”
She says and I walk to the lounge and make myself comfortable, I really don’t know what the end game here is but I really hope this all works out. Yanga has messed me up really bad and after today I don’t think I ever want to see him again. She walks in with bowls of ice cream and teaspoons then she hands me mine
“Do you know who the girl is?”
She asks me and I shake my head no
“No, I don’t even want to know her”
I say and she nods
“What happened to your cheek?”
I ask her because it's pink and she has five fingers plastered on her cheek
“Nothing, got in an argument with the wrong person that’s all”
She says and then touches her cheek
“Are you sure it wasn’t your boyfriend?”
She shakes her head
“No, he’s not abusive in any way”
She says and I nod
“What happened?”
She shrugs
“Lets focus on you for now. So what are you going to do?”
I shrug
“I don’t know, he doesn’t know that I know”
She nods
“Maybe pack your things and go back to school?”
She suggests and I nod
“Probably, I just… I never thought he would do this to me you know? All I did was to love him. I don’t even talk to my male classmates out of respect for my relationship with him and then he goes on and cheats on me? Is it me? Maybe I don’t satisfy him anymore? I don’t know”
She brushes my thigh
“A man will cheat even if you fuck him until he cries. You could do everything right and he would still find a reason to cheat. You can't blame yourself for his cheating honey, he messed up and he should be the one crying and not you. He doesn’t deserve your tears at all”
She says and I nod
“Cry until you good and pack up your things and leave him because he doesn’t deserve you one single bit”
She says and I nod
“Thank you Tiara. Thank you for being my friend”
She smiles
“You don’t have to thank me”
She says with a smile
“May I take this?”
She offers and I nod, she takes my bowl and heads to the kitchen with it.
“May I use the ladies?”
I call out to her standing up
“Of cause, go ahead”
She responds, I get up and then walk to the bathroom and clean up my face trying to calm myself down by splashing water on my face. How long is Yanga planning on keeping up with this charade? When I think I’m calm enough I walk out of the bathroom
“You have to leave, she’s in the bathroom and will be out any minute”
Tiara says to him, I tiptoe my way to the kitchen and then stand by the door way
“Are you certain she didn’t see my car?”
He asks her
“I did”
