The Secret

The words just slipped out of her mouth even though she didn’t mean to say them. “Well, he told me he only wanted to hit it and quit it.” She really didn’t mean to say it but she was jealous that he was committed to her best friend even though he knew that she was in love with him. Tyler had been her crush since the 9th grade and all of them were now in the 3rd year of college. Tyler, Shauna, and Alexis had been friends since the 1st year of middle school. Shauna and Tyler went together on and off for about 2 years, but she didn’t really love him. She just went with him to say she had a boyfriend. She never thought that he was that attractive, but in the 9th grade, Tyler grew braids, got fronts, and had a deeper voice. Shauna quickly fell in love, but Shauna could see that Tyler had moved on.

As Alexis regrouped for a minute, Shauna tried to apologize. “Alexis, I didn’t mean to say that I was just-----” “There is nothing you can say Shauna, you’ve said it all so now, get out of my house!” “Alexis, just hear me out for a second.” “Okay, 1. Time’s up. Now, get out or I’ll call the police.” “Okay, Alexis I can’t believe you are going to let a man ruin our relationship.” “He’s not just any man Shauna, he’s our best friend. And I can’t believe you would try to break up our relationship over jealousy. I was jealous when you two went out but I never tried to end it or spread rumors about Tyler but when I get him you say he has herpes and other bad stuff. I don’t think I can forgive that Shauna. I really don’t know because you really hit me hard right in my heart. You just don’t understand that you had your chance and he moved on and you don’t want him but you don’t want any other woman to have him, not even your best friend. That’s very selfish and we may become friends again but maybe not as close as we used to be. But for right now, can you please quietly leave my house.” Shauna left and she left with her half of the relationship.

The next day Tyler called her up. “Hey Tyler, what’s up?” “I heard about the fight and I wanted to make sure you were okay.” “I’m fine but please don’t call me until the situation is over because I don’t want your girlfriend suspicious.” “Well, she’s going to have to be suspicious because I’m coming over right now.” “I don’t think that’s a very good idea.” She said this but Tyler had already hung up. 30 minutes later, KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! “Oh my god, he was serious?” She quickly stopped talking to herself and opened her front door.

“Wow, I’ve never been to your house but this place is fat just like your ass!” “Um, thanks Tyler.” “Why are you acting all uncomfortable around me? We’ve been best friends since the 6th grade and now all of a sudden after some little spat that you and Alexis had, we are awkward around each other? That’s some bullshit and that isn’t cutting it. If you are going to act all dumb then I guess I should leave.” “No, Tyler. It’s just that since Alexis is your girlfriend, I think you should be comforting her, not me. That’s all I was saying.” “Well, if you feel that way maybe I should tell you that Alexis and I broke up, and you are mighty enticing right about now.” “Tyler I think you are very very sexy, but I can’t. I’m sorry, Alexis and I might not be friends right now but I couldn’t do that to her.” “Didn’t I just tell you that we broke up? Let’s just fuck and get it over with. I’ve been wanting to do this since the 9th grade. So just let me have one night of pleasure.”
“Alexis told me that you guys have great sex together. So what are you talking about?” “No, she has great sex all by herself. I fake that bitch out. I don’t love her; all I wanted to do is hit it and quit it.” “Look Tyler, maybe you should leave and we’ll talk later, okay?” Okay my queen.

The next day, Shauna called Alexis up to confront her. “Alexis, I know we aren’t talking right now but I know that was you last night.” “What the hell are you talking about you psycho?” “I know that that was you and not Tyler over my house last night, telling me that you and him broke up and that you wanted to fuck me. I know that wasn’t Tyler.” “Actually, I was over my mother’s house, all the way in Hawaii.” “You were here earlier yesterday and it takes way longer than a few hours to get to Hawaii and back. And you don’t even drive on planes, so you drove all the way to Cali and then got on a boat and you’re back already? I think not. Stop lying, I know it was you because Tyler has been over my house before so Ha!” “Yeah whatever Shauna. It was me but I’m going to catch you trying to push up on Tyler one day or another.” “So if that was you at my house, was that you on the phone?” “Yes it was, but before I hang up, how did you know that it was me?” “The only reason I knew it was you was because you said I only wanted to hit it and quit it.” “Oh.”

Alexis called up Shauna the next week. “Hello?” “Hey Shauna, this is Alexis.” “Um, I know that but why are you calling me? I thought we weren’t friends.” “We aren’t but I have something very life-changing to tell you.” “You’re pregnant?” “No I’m not. But if you want to know why I said you are very enticing and you have a fat ass, just listen.” “I noticed all of that because ever since Tyler and I have been together, I think I’ve become bi-curious. But now I think I’m full blown lesbian.” Shauna was very quiet for about a half an hour. “Shauna, are you there?” “Yes, I’m still regrouping though.” Shauna hung up the phone. “Hello?”
