The Deception of Love by Kellz Kimberly

Nylah was going to start working on your relationship, I had to cut things off with Elle.  There was no way I could let that secret out.  If it ever got back to Nylah that I was fucking her best friend we would never have chance in hell.  I called Elle, but it went straight to voice mail, so I left her a message saying that we couldn't fuck with each other anymore.  I figured she didn't need to know anything else, so I just left it at that.  I was feeling like a man today, shit, fuck that, I was the man.  I was the mother fucking boss.
     
    Nylah
    I'm not gonna lie, Jacob called at the perfect time.  Nick was in some sneaker store looking for a pair of Jordans, so it gave me the perfect opportunity to talk to Jacob without Nick being all down my neck.  I told him that we could link up when I came back to Brooklyn, and I had every intention of getting up with him as soon as I got back.  Nick came out of the store with about six pairs of sneakers.  I just shook my head.  He had the nerve to say that I went crazy when I go shopping.
    “ Why you looking at me like that?” Nick asked, walking up to me.
    “ Cause you say I'm bad, but you went in there for one pair of sneakers and came out with six.”
    “ Ma, this is nothing compared to the damage that you did today.” he told me.
    “ Whatever, nigga, let’s get something to eat.  I'm starving.” I told him.
    We went to a hot dog stand that was outside of the mall.  We got our food and hopped in a cab t o get ready for tonight.  We sat the bags on the floor of our hotel room and got in the shower.  We didn't have much time to get ready, so we just got in together.  I got out of the shower first, cause if it was up to Nick we would have been sexing the whole time we was in the shower.
    I looked at my phone and saw that I had a text from Jacob.  It said that he just wanted me to know that he was thinking about me, and that he couldn't wait for me to get back.  Instead of replying, I just erased it and threw m y phone on the bed.  I lotioned my body and decided to wear an all black pants suit with a pair of Chanel pumps.  I wanted to look classy for when I met Nick's connect.  For me, this was a big deal.
    “ Ma, you look real cute,” Nick said slapping me on my ass.
    “ Thanks, I want to make a good impression on your connect.  It has to be about something important if he wants to meet me.” I said.
    “ You mean she.  My connect is a woman.” he told me like it is nothing.
    “ Wait, hold up, you mean it’s a bitch that wants to meet me?” I asked just for clarification.
    “ Yea, it’s a woman; her name is Jay.” he said.
    I couldn't believe this shit.  The whole time I thought it was a nigga that wanted to meet me, but it was bitch.  All I know is that Nick better not had slept with he r ass, and this was her way of putting me on blast, cause best believe she her ass was gonna get blasted.
    “ This better not be no shit, Nick,” I told him.
    Before he could respond, there was a knock at the door.  I opened it and let Trey and Diamond in.  I g uess they could feel the tension in the room, cause neither one of them said anything.
    “ Ny, calm down, there is nothing going on between me and Jay.  I barely even see her.  Whenever we talk, it is by phone.  So, you have nothing to worry about.” he said sounding sincere.
    “ So, why does this bitch want to meet me then?” I asked him.
    Shit, I needed answers, and I needed them now.
    “I don't have a clue why she wants you to come with us.  The only way we are going to find out is if we go over there and find out.  Now, can we leave, please?” he asked, walking out the door.
    “ Come on Diamond, we riding together tonight, fuck him,” I told Diamond and walked out the door.
    Me and Diamond jumped in a cab, and Trey and Nick got into another one.  I didn't realize that I didn't know where we was going until the cab driver asked me where to.
    “ Diamond, can you text Trey and ask
