Page 92 of Halo: Tales Of A Hitman

“You are the one who thought of the name silly.”

“But you are the one who loved it. You gotta come.”

“Halo. Although I am here with you it’s still awkward between us. We can’t pretend what happened didn't happen. I never imagined I’d be sitting across from you again.”

“What made you say yes?” I don’t think I ever held my breath as much as I did.

“I’ve spent so much time replaying our relationship in my head. If I’m being honest, I felt used. Like I came into your life, fixed you in some way only for you to become healed then run off with someone else.”

Her words were stabbing the hell out of me, but I liked that she was telling me this.

“Story that is the furthest thing from the truth. I swear to God, I never used you at all. When I opened up and told you my secrets it did fix something in me. But it was never So I could run off with some other woman.

There was nothing you did that made me fuck up the way I did. It was all me. I allowed people like Golden get in my head about not being experienced, having female friends and I was insecure about you not telling me you loved me the same time I told you.

While my brothers were dating, having sex and being regular teenagers. I let all that pass me and I never thought I would be with any woman. That night of my auntie and uncle’s anniversary party.

I blew your phone up and then you did not answer. I assumed you were ignoring me and I started overthinking. Story, I apologize for what I did. On my parent’s grave, if I could take it back I would. I’m still not over you and I never will be.” I have been sitting on those words for three years.

Story picked up a clean napkin and wiped the corner of her eyes because she was crying.

“Halo, you tore my heart out my chest when you cheated on me. Then you did not tell me, but you were caught. Was that your only time or did you cheat---

“Oh God, that was the only time. I never flirted or even kissed anyone but you. Even now, I’ve still only kissed you on the mouth. Your pussy is the only one that has been in my mouth.”

Her eyes bucked wide.

“Real shit.” I added.

“Have you fucked Dallas since?”

Shit!! I did not think she would ask me that. My instincts were to lie but all that would do is come back and bite me in the ass.

“Last summer at a kickback I let her suck my dick. But before then, there was nothing. I don’t even go to Lazy Daze even now. But from time to time, I’ll bend her over.”

Story started laughing while she ate. “You know what, I’m not surprised. Dallas has wanted you by any means necessary. She’ll be pregnant soon.”

“No, the fuck she won’t!” I turned my nose up and spoke louder than I should have been. “I have never and I mean never been in anyone raw but you.”

“It’s okay Halo, you don’t have to explain to me. I’ve moved on too and had somewhat of a relationship as well.”

I got jealous as all hell when she shared that with me.

“Don’t look at me like that Halo. It’s been three years.”

“Do it look like I give a damn.” I said through tight lips. “What’s his name?”

She found my reaction funny, but I had yet to crack a smile. “His name is none of your business. We aren’t even together anymore for good reasons. Actually, and I can’t believe I’m telling you this but. I had an abortion a month ago.”

On my entire life, I wanted to burn the restaurant down with us inside of it. I never would have thought she was about to tell me that information.

“You let a nigga cum in my fucking pussy and get you pregnant.”

Story put her margarita down and wiped her mouth. “It hasn’t been your pussy for three years Halo. We are talking and catching up. You have no right to be mad when you just told me that you’ve been fucking the same bitch you cheated on me with.”

“I ain’t tryna hear…Story, that’s always gone be my pussy and…I swear to God. When I find out who it is I’m killing him. You hear me, he’s a dead man. Quit fucking laughing Story, ain’t nothing funny.”

She was laughing so hard that she snorted. “I am about to crack a rib laughing at you. Listen, you can make all the treats you want. I’ll never tell you his name and like I said, you have no right to be mad.
