Page 75 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

2489397676: Heyy stranger! I was starting to think you fell off the face of the earth. I haven’t even seen you in the dispensary with your brothers.

Me: Yeah, I have been busy making money and being with my girl. Golden told me about Aspen’s party.

I needed her to hurry up and respond. I made sure to sound just like Halo so she wouldn’t think anything was wrong.

2489397676: he said you weren’t coming because Story won’t let you.

Me: Naw, I’ll be there. Are you getting a room or are you not staying the night?

As I waited for her to respond Halo texted his phone from mine.

My Boo: This retarded driver drove past the light to turn. He added an extra three minutes to his arrival time.

Me: LOL! Patience babe.

I rushed and replied then went back to Dallas thread.

2489397676: I’m staying the night. I was going to sleep in Aspen’s room. But I can get a private one. If you want me too.

I needed to be smart about my next reply. I could not come on too strongly because Halo wasn’t like that. At least not if it wasn’t me, or so I think. Dallas could be forward out of desperation or because he has made it okay for her too. My fingers shook when I texted my response. This was about to either shatter my heart or silence my overthinking.

Me: I feel like a fucked-up nigga if I say yeah to the room

I sent the message and the waiting felt like an eternity.

2489397676: You are not fucked up Halo. To be honest, I can’t get what we did off my mind. I meant what I said, I haven’t told a soul not even Aspen. Just give us one full night together Halo. You won’t regret it.

I dropped his phone on the floor, my eyes became blurry from my tears and I stood up. My balance was shaky, so I had to sit down and try standing again. It all made sense, everything did.

“Boo, I got the food.” Halo announced.

When I heard his voice, it dragged me back to reality and I was able to compose myself. I picked up his wallet then walked out of his room. He was sitting the food on the table and about to take it out. I sat his wallet on the table with the condom on top.

“You and Dallas had sex.” Those words coming from my mouth stung hard.

Halo looked at the stuff in front of him and he stopped moving. When he looked at me, I could already see the lies coming from him. My eyes dried up and anger ran through my veins. “You told me that you always carry the same two condoms Golden gave you when y’all were sixteen. Suddenly, one is missing.”

“I don’t know what’chu talkin’ about but you way off boo.”

I closed my eyes as he talked.

“Golden needed a condom and didn’t have one so I---

“Halo, please stop lying to me.” I opened my eyes and tears fell from them. “Just stop and tell me the truth. Tell me what I already know, do not stand here and treat me like I am being dramatic or crazy.”

He did not say anything, he looked at his wallet and condom again. Seconds felt like hours then he finally looked at me. It was all in his eyes, they went downward and he looked defeated.

“Boo, I fucked up bad, but I swear to God on my life---”

I turned around and walked towards his room. Halo was on me like white on rice. His arms went around my waist, and he tried to stop me.

“Get the hell off me! You fucked that bitch and had me looking stupid!”

“Listen to me! It was a mistake! I was drunk and high. On my fucking parents grave that bitch don’t mean anything to me!” He protested.

I laughed through my tears and kept elbowing him in the chest hard. Halo’s arms fell from the pain, and I was able to break free.

“When!? Tell me when y’all had sex.”
