The Betrayal
I thought today was going to be one of the best days of my life. I Mechi Amber-Lee McGraves am engaged to James Arnold Hemingway and we are throwing a huge party to tell everyone of our news. As I am getting ready to go to my engagement party I realized I left my family heirloom at my best friend Stacey's house. I called her to let her know I'm on my way but she never picked up her phone.
I finally made it to her house and her car is still here so I must have caught her before she left for the party. I knock on the door but receive no answer. The door is unlocked which is weird but I'm in a hurry lol "Stacey!!!" I holler but no answer. so I head up to her room where my family heirloom is, I had her keep it in her safe for me. It's an ultra rare bloodstone pendent necklace that's been passed down by my family for generations. As I make my way up to her room I hear some odd sounds , thinking she is hurt I rush in to help.
Stopping dead in my tracks I find James balls deep in Stacey, frozen in mid step I'm so hurt I can't speak, I can't think....God help me I scream in my head. Neither has noticed my presence yet.
Still stuck in my spot thinking of what to do, should I confront them or silently leave? f**k being silent I'm not about to be some meek little b***h girl.
"WOW, that's sure is some fake moaning there Stace, you did better on that prank call!!" I yell from her open doorway. James snapps his head around to stare at me while Stacey struggles and tries to cover them up but all the bedding has been knocked to the floor.
Laughing at their scrambling around as I calmly walk towards the bed while removing my engagement ring, I grab Stacey's hand while she shrinks back in fear " M. please it's not what it looks like, I..it just happened." she stammers out.
"Oh please Stace I'm only giving you what you rightly deserve." I say with a sick grin on my face as I gently place the ring in her hand. "I think you will be needing this now, I'm just. here for my pendant. It's still in the safe right?" I question her.
"What do you think you are doing giving her the ring I bought for you huh?" James rages all while still naked in her bed! "I thought that was obvious Jay, giving it to the rightful owner now that we will not longer be engaged nor together." I reply with snark.
"Do you honestly think I would wish to marry a man that not only cheats on me but with my childhood best friend at that! Are you really that STUPID!!" I demand from him.
"Damn it Mechi you don't understand what's going on right now how could you think betraying me by giving someone else the ring!?" James screams at me.
" I can see exactly what is going on here! You couldn't wait to stick your d**k into some other person. You selfish lowlife prick!" Now I'm angry and I'm done with this whole thing.
"I wanted to wait until marriage to give you my everything, to make it as special as I could, but Nnnoooo you 'have needs' that just can't wait!" I say to him. "And YOU when did you think to betray me like this Stacey, what have I ever done to you to think oh well this b***h deserves it?" I ask her.
"You don't understand Mechi it's not like that I...I ..I fell in love with him." Stacey exclaimed " He was there when I was going through that rough patch after me and Tyron broke up. I needed you but you weren't there! Too busy with what ever was going on with your life! But he was!!" Stacey cried out. "He was there for me not you!"
"Oh ok, so you mean all those calls and visits and plans to go out and do something all those times that you ignored me, every single time, that wasn't me coming to you to help you deal?" I reply. " That wasn't me trying to console you, I wasn't being a good enough friend!!!"
"Now see here Mechi you need to back off of Stacey she is still working through things!" James declared.
"Oh I'm backing off from all of you. I'm done with you both hope you f**k tards have a wonderful life together in hell!!!" I say with a sardonic smile.
Not speaking another word to either of them I walk to the safe and key in the code while their expletives fall on deaf ears I snatch my blood stone out of the safe leaving it open turn to walk away. "Here James I've left her safe open for you if that's why you are f*****g her to begin with, I know how much financial trouble your company is in." leaving with that parting shot.
As I'm drive around the city too pissed to go home and too sad to go to work I spend hours just driving and listening to play list after play list which usually gives me a clear head but it's just not working. "Damn I need a drink!" I think to myself. Remembering that new club I was trying to get Stacey to come out to Reign .
It's already late evening so I'll just grab a bite to eat while I'm there and find some fun.As I pull up to the building it looks like what you would expect from a club dark tinted windows, grey brick building, bright Vegas style sign with a crown and scepter.
Walking up to the entrance I notice there isn't a huge line out front which has me some what grateful and somewhat weary. Has the newness faded or is it just for certain people, I'm not sure but f**k it I'm here let's do this dang thang! No time to back out I'm already at the door. I present my ID to the bouncer.Damn he is huge, at least 6'5 and built like a lumberjack though I'm not saying that to him. No need for my head to get squished. He doesn't say anything just looks at my ID and nods his head at me to go in.
As soon as I open the door the bass hits me like a wave , no mercy , no grace period just beat after beat that enslaves me to the music. It's a weird mix of down and dirty pulses and upbeat tempo. Great for getting lost in time. The interior is a cool eclectic mix of rocker/steampunk with bits of a royal throne room mixed in. The stools at the bar are definitely steampunk with brass coloring and gears with soft aged leather tops. At least they look more comfortable than the high backed booths and look like mini sofa thrones.
I make my way to the bar, contemplating on if I'm in a shots mood or mix drink mood. As f****d as my day has been, shots it is. I flag the bartender down, who looks my way and nods, letting me know he'll be with me in a minute. I turn around to look at the dance floor as I wait. It's the biggest dance floor I have ever seen dark cherry oak wood lacquered to a high shine, man that must suck to clean. oops intrusive thought coming out lol. Lots of grinding and gyrating on the floor, man I can't wait to lose myself in the music just what I need a few good shots and to lose my thoughts on the dance floor!
