I awoke to the sound of banging on my door. I sat straight up, feeling the pain in my lower back from sleeping on the floor. My heart started to pound and my pulse picked up about a hundred more beats per minute. Who the hell would be banging on my door like that? Only three or four people actually knew where I lived. The first thing that came to my mind was Aamir. It had been to quiet to be true. Deron sat up and looked at me as if he was waiting for an answer. ?I don?t know?? I answered without him saying a word. ?Should I answer the door? Should I act like I?m not home?? ?Are you serious?? he questioned like he couldn?t believe how shook I was. ?Hell yeah!? I paused as I started to get up off the floor. The last thing I needed was to open the door and get punched in the face. The way Aamir had been acting, there was no telling what he may do if he found me. Deron ran over to the window seal and grabbed his gun. Oh, it was so sexy! Even in a time of possible distress, he was still sexy! The banging continued and I refused to open the door. He ran up to the door and stood on the side of it. It was like he was doing a raid or something. I backed up down the hallway into my bedroom. I didn?t want to be a part of whatever was about to go down. I ran to the window to look out to see if I saw some suspicious outside. Nothing. Everything was quiet, except the banging on my door. I peered back out into the hallway to see what progress Deron had made. None. He was still posted up on the side of the door, listening to the consist banging. Normally when someone is banging on your door they are yelling something too. Well, that wasn?t happening in this case. I walked back out and into the living room. I ain?t answering that door, they just gonna have to keep bangin?! I told myself as I stood in the middle of the room. ?Look out the peep hole,? he whispered as he nodded his head toward the door. ?I ain?t lookin? out that peep hole?you do it!? ?Girl, if you don?t get ya ass ova here and look out that damn peep hole, me and you gon? have some problems,? he whispered back in a more forceful way. The last thing I wanted to do was have a problem with him; he was too damn fine for that. ?Ok,? I agreed walking slowly over to the door. The moment I got close enough to look out the peep hole three loud bangs hit the door. I looked at Deron and he gave me the ?girl you betta look? look. So I looked. ?The whole is covered,? I gasped looking at him. ?Aight, stand back,? he told me as he took his place in front of the door. I moved as far away as possible. He held his gun with one hand and swung the door open with the other one. With his gun drawn and pointed directly at the door way he had the most stunned look on his face. ?Trinity?!? I yelled out not understanding what was going on. ?You know her?!? Deron yelled back at me, not taking his eyes, or his gun, off of her. ?Yeah, that?s my homie?s friend.? ?Aight,? he answered lowering his gun. ?Why was you bangin? on my door like that?? ?Bitch you know why!? she screamed as she entered my apartment pointing her finger at me. I couldn?t believe what I was hearing and seeing. This bitch had lost her damn mind. Didn?t she just see my latest sexual encounter pointing a gun in her face? ?What the fuck are you talkin? bout?!? ?Trevor, bitch! That?s what I?m talkin? ?bout!? she continued to yell ?He told me all ?bout how was tryin? to talk to him yesterday. I knew ya ass was a fuckin? ho! I mean you fucked Jay after only knowing him for three hours!? I couldn?t believe Trevor?s bum ass would tell her I was trying to get at him when in fact he was the one all pressed about me. And not to mention she just put me on blast about Jay in front of Deron. This bitch was about to get exactly what I had been holding in to give Aamir when I saw him; an ass whooping! ?You need to back ya ass up and get the fuck outta my apartment. Ya corny ass nigga came over here tryin? to talk to me. I sent his ass packin? and instead of actin? like a real man and takin? it for what it was worth he gon? run and tell you some bullshit! Get the fuck outta here!? Deron hadn?t said a word since Trinity entered the apartment. He was either shocked that I slept with someone else on the first day meeting them or he was enjoying the fact that I was holding my shit down. ?Just to let you know, ya bitch is a fucking ho!? Trinity yelled at Deron. She was really trying to mess up my shit with him and it may have been working. Trinity turned around and walked out of the apartment, but not before slamming the door. I looked at Deron and he looked at me. He unloaded the bullet he had cocked into the chamber before opening the door and tossed his gun on the floor. He just stood there looking at me.
