Sweet Revenge

"What did you just call me?" Dre asked Lisa.

They were in her bed of silk white sheets hugged up tightly.

She had called out a name that sure wasn't his. Obviously someone else was on her mind. Lisa sobered up after realizing her mistake and turned to face him.

"What?" She asked.

Dre sat up slowly and tried to make sure if he had heard her correctly.

"Don't play with me Lisa, I ain't in the mood for nunna yo' mind games. Did you just call me by my best friends name?" Dre asked.

Lisa sat up after Dre climbed out of her bed.

"You and Eric act alike I just happened to mix you two up," Lisa explained.

"You just happened to mix us up for the first time, while we laid up in YO' bed? I guess he holds you the way I do huh, kisses and caress you the way I do huh?" Dre said calmly.

This is how Lisa knew Dre was angry. His voice was already deep, but it was soft and low which sent chills down Lisa's spine.

"So what exactly were the two of you doing last night when you said you had to call me back and didn't. What did I interrupt while he was supposedly playin the game witchu?" Dre asked, " I may be naive, but I'm not stupid. You played the sex game and obviously he won."

"Stop talking in metaphors, Dre." Lisa said, "Okay I slept with Eric. But he just happened to catch me at a vulnerable time, while I was mad at you."

"OH so this was revenge huh?" Dre began to yell.

"No it wasn't but it damn sure could have after the way you pissed me off earlier that day," Lisa yelled.

"Don't make me out to be the bad guy, you cheated when I have been nothing but faithful to you. How could you..." Dre held in his words, " I hoped you enjoyed it. Now try findin some from another nigga, cause what we have is officially over. I hope yo ass is pregnant too."

Dre slammed Lisa's bedroom door as he grabbed his coat and headed out.

Dre's cell rang before he reached the corner of Lisa's street in his red jeep. He looked at he caller ID and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dre, can you stop by to get me after you leave Lisa house? Cause my dad is straight trippin'."

It was his best friend Tia.
Dre didn't deny her and told he'd pick her up in a few minutes. Tia is Eric's girlfriend. But revenge is the furthest thing from his mind. All he could think of was how much Lisa had hurt him after giving 3 years of his heart to her. He tried his best to keep tears from his eyes, but it wasn't easy, and to tell Tia that her man cheated with HIS girl was not easy either.
Dre pulled up in a matter of minutes as Tia stood up on her porch and approached his red truck.
"You alright?" Dre asked.
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm just stressed that's all, plus I'm pissed cause my Dad is drunk and he kept touching me. I kept resisting and he got mad and left me alone," Tia explained, "I'm afraid to stay the night cause of what he might do to me in my sleep."
Tears began to cascade like two caravans in a race down her cheeks.
"Yo' all that matters is that you alright and you got a friend like me," Dre said, "I'll never let anything happen to you. Not while I'm breathing and able to move."
"Thank you, Dre, can we leave now?" Tia managed to ask.
"Guess what? Ya' boy single now." Dre said.
"What happened to Lisa?" Tia said after she stopped crying.
"She cheated on me, so I dropped her in a heartbeat."Dre told her.
"With WHOO?"Tia asked.
"I'll let you know when we get to the crib."Dre told her. "But as for now, just relax. You safe now."
Tia looked at Dre with admiration. She then took a deep breath.
"Yeah just let it all out." Dre said.
But she was breathing deeply because within her heart beats a consistent desire to kiss his lips. A desire to feel his hands caress her all over. But they were strictly friends....
