Look
Away
by Aundrea Townsend
"Hello, it's Lisa, it's very nice to
meet you just wanted to make
you aware that your man is
cheating."
I look at the phone stare in a
shock, Lisa just gave me news
that stopped my heart. I picked
the telephone back up, scared to reply, cause I don't know what was next so I
first let off a sigh. "Lisa this can't be true, me and Jack are darn near new, we
just made this thing official, I just made him my boo and...." She stopped me
mid sentence, I didn't even get to finish, she heard my voice snicker and
decided she'd suggest some tissue. "Look lady know, I don't need you on my
phone, I'll speak to you later after my MAN arrives home." (Jack walks
through the door) "Jack what's that on your neck? I see you haven't slept,
your eyes look mighty low can I ask you where you've gone?" He says,
"baby, baby please I've been working 6 to 3, do I have to arrive home with
your voice nagging me?" I let off a silent laugh, I headed up to the bath, start
thinking of the call from just earlier before, couldn't think of it anymore
before he came right through the door, he began to speak my ears tuned in to
see, what this was all about before he let a word out, there was a woman in
my house.
"Baby you know I love you, but this here it just won't last, I've decided to go
another path, I'll see my own way out." Wait, did I hear just what I thought I
heard, I turned off the water as I peeked outside the gloomy glass door, I
looked to the left and there it was that whore. No tears fell from my eyes I
just blinked a couple times, reminisced on his lies and let out a quick bye.
He said, "bye, now is that it? I thought you would be pissed, maybe you
didn't love me like you said you did." Now he's judging my love, when he
wants to leave, funny how men can turn it all around on a woman so easy.
