I broke the kiss “Michael...I..I have to go. I'm sorry." I ran out, my eyes filled with tears. I was running like a little girl who just had her دل broken. My دل was broken and confused, I just couldn't stay in there with Michael. I finally realized that I loved Michael and know one else “Nesha! Wait!" Michael called as I jumped in the truck and drove off, leaving him standing in the middle of Isis' driveway and looked at me leave. I drove ہوم and got ready to meet Asad's parents “Where have آپ been?" Asad asked as I کہا I was with Isis all day. I put on my black فیتا, فیتے dress and high heels with my bowtie around my neck “How do I look?" I asked as I presented myself to Asad “Love the way آپ look. آپ look so ravishing lovely." He kissed my cheek. I smiled and grabbed my wallet while Asad got ready to leave “Ready love?" He asked as I nodded while we linked arms and walked together. We drove to the party and we were the talk of the town,everyone was talking about how good we looked. We sat down with his parents as we greeted them, we held each other's hands as we talked to his parents “So...Mom and dad, this is my girlfriend Nesha." I shook hands with his father but his mother lifted her head and ignored me “I don't talk to women who are from the projects." She pointed at the small tattoo on my wrist that had the projects on it. I got it three years پہلے because I was born in Brooklyn in the projects “Does that mean I have to be ashamed of where I come from?" I asked as she nodded Yes “If آپ come from a low down dirty neighborhood, then yes." She gave me a ھٹی, ترش look and told Asad to pick a better woman "..And from Yale university, okay?" She sarcastically شدہ تبصرہ as her husband told her to stop as I told no "Sir, I'm sorry for آپ and I hope that one دن she'll realize that God don't like ugly." I walked out with Asad following me “Nesha, wait. I'm sorry for that. She can be a hard case." He کہا as I turned around "She did مزید than that, Asad! She hurt my feelings. She was being prejudice towards me!" I called for a taxi cab as Asad got down on one knee "Nesha? Before آپ leave let me ask آپ one question." "What?" Asad took out a box and opened it "Will آپ marry me?" He asked as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I couldn't except it so I کہا what he prayed wouldn't be کہا "No. I'm sorry Asad but I have to think things through. This is moving too fast." Asad's smile turned into a furious look as he grabbed me سے طرف کی my arm "I don't take no for an answer. Gimme your hand!" He forced the ring on my finger as I tried to snatch my hand away. Asad slapped me as I looked at him like he was crazy "Boy آپ must be Godamn crazy!" I kicked him in his batteries and punched as he fell "Come'on now. If آپ quick enough to slap a bitch. Be quick enough to get up, come'on." I took off my heels.

I grabbed him سے طرف کی his hair and dragged him into the تنے, ٹرنک of his truck "You gone learn not to put yo hands on me again. آپ bastard." I took his truck keys and we drove home.

I was tricked سے طرف کی thinking Asad was a sweet man but my پچھواڑے, گدا was fooled. That's probably why his last one got away with the delivery man. She was fooled سے طرف کی him and when she finally saw the real him...out she went. I drove ہوم and dragged Asad out the تنے, ٹرنک "Don't ever mess wit a woman from the projects." I کہا as I punched and kicked his face and body then dragged him into the house and threw him on the floor, I squatted down while I lifted his head up سے طرف کی his hair and whispered "Now go and get your shit and leave. NOW!" Asad ran to action as I found a نشست and a drink and watched him run out with his stuff "Oh. And in case آپ get lonely" I کہا as I took off the ring and my panties "just smell those drawes and put on the ring." He cried and walked out while I smoked a cigarette and drunk some wine. I called Michael as he gasped at all I told him "What's wrong with you?" Michael asked as I chuckled "Nothing much just the fact that if a man touch me. They funeral coming." I insisted.

"Well other than that. Can I come over? I'm already five منٹ away from you." Michael whispered as I bit lip.

"Sure, I do need some company." I کہا while taking off my clothes and putting on some sweatpants and a sports bra.

"Okay, but my girlfriend's with me though." Michael کہا as my دل broke a little.

"That...that's okay. She can come too." I کہا as we کہا goodbye and hung up the phone.

I put on a شرٹ, قمیض and slouched in the chair as I played Prince's 'Joy in Repetition' and cleaned up. A knock approached my door "Who is it?" I asked as a voice answered "Michael." I opened the door then Michael and his girl walked in. I greeted as we all talked "Well, me and Lisa met at a party and in an twinkle of an eye. We got along so well." He کہا as Lisa kissed him while Michael kissed her back while I sat there feeling like the third wheel "An twinkle of an eye, huh?" I asked while looking at the floor, feeling lonely. I thought this would be different with Michael.
