Clutching the wall for support, I stumbled out of the room.
Keon strode toward me, ready to catch me in his arms. But then, Kizzie ran off, her eyes red. Keon’s two brothers immediately rushed after her.
The momentarily warm embrace around me stiffened then, just as quickly, he let go. I crashed to the floor, landing hard on my backside.
"Go home by yourself. I’m going to check on Kizzie."
With that, he turned and ran after Kizzie.
That’s right. He ran to her.
The bystanders, who had been watching the drama unfold, snickered at my pathetic state, their eyes filled with glee at my humiliation.
"Considering she opened her legs for anyone, it’s no wonder her husband ran off with someone else!"
"Hey, gorgeous, drop me your LetsTalk. How much for a night? I can definitely afford you."
"She needs money? Please! Call her once and she’ll jump right into your bed for free!"
Clutching onto a railing, I slowly pulled myself up. Head down, I stared at my feet, forcing myself to move forward, step by step.
By the time I finally got a cab and made it home, the sky had already turned dark.
