Jasmine: Who’s That Peeping Through The Window
Why do men think they can screw over a good woman without any consequences? Did he think he could cheat on me, break my heart, and run off and be happy with the next bitch? Nah, my feelings just aren’t set up like that. I told Ace when he screwed me over that one-day shit was going to come back on him. Today is that day, and I’m the shit coming back on his ass.
I looked up, and I could see Ace walking out of December’s front door. One thing about Ace he cleaned up nice. He was looking like a GQ model with his fresh haircut and that perfectly tapered black suit he was wearing. I started walking up December driveway just in time to catch him before he could get to his car.
“Hey, Zaddy!” I said.
It was as if he saw a ghost. He looked at me with those dark brown eyes, and for one moment I forgot I was even mad at him. I stared at his soft lips and looked down at how that suit hugged his print, and I felt like I was going to pee on myself.
“What’s the matter Ace? Cat got ya tongue or did you realize you walked out on the best thing that ever happened to you?”
He just continued to stare at me, and he had every reason too. I was wearing a tight red dress that exposed my nipple rings. I had my hair parted like Pocahontas because he always told me it drove him crazy and I had on his favorite Gucci heels.
“Hey, what the fuck are you doing here. I got a restraining order against yo crazy ass!”
“Hahaha, restraining order. Shit that ain’t nothing but a piece of paper. Do you miss me Ace?”
“Miss you? Hell no I don’t miss you. What are you doing here?”
Damn Ace was sexy. He was, a cheating, lying, bastard but still, I could never get over him. He had a confidence about him that let everyone in the room know he was that nigga. Plus, he had an amazing way with words. The man could sell ice to an Eskimo; he was just that good.
“I’m here to take December out. That’s my new best friend,” I said.
“Stay the fuck away from December you crazy bitch.”
I heard him talking, but I was just focused on his lips. His mouth was magical, especially when he shut up long enough to let you sit on his face. The way that man worked his tongue was a gift from the Almighty.
“Crazy! I told you I was crazy when we first met Ace. I told you don’t break my heart because I’m crazy and I’m not responsible for what happens next. Why didn’t you listen? Didn’t I tell you to be careful with me?”
He froze for a minute, “I thought the shit was cute but you legit crazy.”
“Were you just in December house crying? Were you crying over that bitch Ace? Wipe the tears from your face and man up before you speak to me. How dare you be over here shedding a tear over losing this dingy bitch. The same bitch you cheated on me with. Answer me this, if you love her so much why did you hurt her? Where was your love at when you broke her heart? You don't want me to hurt her, but it's ok for you to destroy her? What makes what I'm doing different from what you have already done? Don’t worry I’ll make sure December lands on her feet tho.”
“Jasmine, what the hell is wrong with you. Don’t bother her please. I’m begging you she didn’t know anything about you. Don’t take it out on her.”
The nerve of this nigga to tell me not to take what he did out on her. He cheated on me with December, and now he was trying to protect her from me. Two years I spent in therapy crying over Ace ass, and his best answer to me was stay away from December. I was the best girlfriend any man could ask for, and he did me so wrong. I never cheated on him. I cut off all my male friends. I stopped going out with my homegirls. Shit, I lost my identity in my relationship with him, and he dogged me for some girl named after a month on the calendar. December, December, what kind of name is December anyway?
“Don’t take it out on her. Did she love and care for you like I did? When you came over my house, I always had a homecooked meal on the table for you. When we had a disagreement, I always took your side because I didn’t want to be the angry black woman. I just wanted you to be happy. I used to wake you up with blowjobs before you left my place for work in the morning, so you wouldn’t have an excuse to cheat at work. I never even pressured you to move in with me. I let you hang out with your friends as much as you wanted. If you wanted to try something sexually, I was always down. What was wrong with me? Why her?”
“Jasmine, let it go. It has been years now. Let the shit go. I’m sorry for what I did, but I can’t change the past.”
I hated when he told me what he couldn’t change. Fuck, be a man and tell me what you can do not what you can’t.
“Why did you lie to me Ace?”
“Lie to you? Lie to you about what?”
“What did you lie about? You told me your mother was sick with breast cancer and that you had to move to Las Vegas to take care of her. I offered to drive to Vegas every weekend to be with you and you told me mentally you couldn’t handle a relationship anymore. You even borrowed $5000.00 from me so you could help pay your mother’s medical bills. You know how hurt I was when I found out you used my money to move you and December in this place. You moved in with her, but you never even let me spend the night at your apartment. You faked moved to Vegas and start ignoring my calls. I cried for weeks, and the only reason I found out about December was your friend Speedy.”
His face turned up in anger, “SPEEDY!”
“Hahaha yeh Speedy. My momma always told me to pay attention to which one of your man’s friends has a crush on you. Be nice enough to him to make him think he has a chance at getting some ass, and he will tell you everything. I messaged Speedy on Facebook and told him how lonely I was since you been gone. One thing led to another and before I know it he gave me this address. Speedy sold you out for a picture of me in a thong.”
“Fuck that nigga Speedy. I’m a kill him!”
“Shut up! Why you always threatening to kill somebody? Ace, you wouldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight. You a lady’s man Ace. You ain’t a gangsta like ya cousin Curtis. My first impulse was to come over here and beat December ass, but I needed to really hurt you good. So, I have been watching you closely and waiting for the perfect time for revenge. I just wanted to wait until you fucked up, so I could make sure I ruined you for good. You slipped up a few times, but now you fucked up for good.”
“I’m sorry Jasmine. I was a different man back then.”
“You were a different man back then? When bih? Wait, oh ok I can see it now. Back then you were a dog and now you a dirty dog. You cheated on December just like you did me.”
“I was faithful but….”
“Nigga please, shall I tell her about Melody? She already knows about Panda. Oh yeh, how did you like that little visit Princess made to Panda house shit was funny right?”
“That, was you?”
He looked so confused. I know he was wondering how Princess found out where his favorite side bitch Panda lived. December and I laughed hard ass fuck as we watched Princess surprise him at Panda’s house. We just parked down the block and waited for the show.
“You don’t get it Ace. You broke so many hearts, and now it's time for you to get your heart broke. I am going to ruin your life until you learn not to fuck with a woman’s heart ever again. You will be the perfect boyfriend to the next woman when I get done with yo ass. Since December is the love of your life, then she is going to be my new best friend. Now run along little boy because me and my bff about to go out.”
“Please, I’m begging you Jasmine leave her alone. I love her, and I can’t lose her. Please, help me get her back.”
I raised my hand and slapped him. Then I screamed, “DECEMBER!”
“Wait, what are you doing Jasmine?”
“December open the door. Help me!” I started beating on the door.
“Fuck, Jasmine.” He ran off and got in his car.
December opened the door wearing a tight leopard dress, “Hey girl. Why are you screaming?”
“I think yo crazy ex-boyfriend was just outside of your house looking through the window. I got scared.”
She looked around over my shoulder, “Yeh, he was here girl. He told his ass to leave. I miss him, and I love him, but like you said he is no good for me.”
“Don’t worry girl. Just take it one day at a time. There is no need to keep wasting time and energy on someone who is toxic for you. I want you to do better. I don’t know your man, but from what you tell me he was crazy and didn’t deserve you. Besides he wasn’t all that anyway hahaha.”
She let out a laugh, “Yeh, I know. I could do better. I feel like crying tho. I don’t want to go out anymore.”
“Nah, you are looking cute bitch! It’s time for us to go out. Fuck em girl. He will regret the day he ever cheated!”
He will regret the day he ever cheated on me too. Tonight, is about to be a special night. December, I hope you ready!
