Chapter Ten- Cheating Heart.
" I can't believe this." Marcus started as he joined Miguel on the couch, the next mourning.
" I can. I knew Jhon was a jerk."
"what are we gonna do. I want to tell her."
" me too. I just can't believe that he's actually cheating on her after all the praise Charity gave him.Right in front of Boston U;" he laughed a bit" the bastard's making it real easy for a guy to..." he smiled at the brilliant idea that came to him.
"easy for a guy to what ,Miguel?"
"for a guy to use it against him."
"you can't."
" why not this is exactly what old Jhonny boy deserves."
" yeah, but what about Charity."he said" I know whatever you have planned is gonna be foul, and that just might hurt Charity in the process. I don't want to do that she's too good of a girl, man."
"you think I do! look we could go right now and tell her that we saw him cheating but do you really think she's gonna believe us, with all that Destiny told her she just met us Marcus."
" as much as I hate to say this, your right."
"this is the best way, to expose him for good.Yeah Charity will be hurt what girl wouldn't, but she doesn't deserve not to know."
" so what are you gonna do?"
"that girl he was with, that's Jennifer remember her?"
"do I." Marcus smiled.
"how's about we give her a call.Tell her a bit about Jhonny."
"yeah, but how's Charity gonna find out..."
"chances are she's going out with him tonight.All I have to do, is tell Jen to come visit him before that."
"what if this backfires."
"it won't."Miguel reasured as he picked up his cellphone, and dialed Jennifer's number."hello?" the voice answered." Jennifer, long time no see."Marcus shook his head while he laughed. " yeah,so what's new." he waited for a response"oh, really new guy.Do tell?"
" how you feeling Charity?" Destiny asked in a concerned tone, as she sat beside her.
"alright." she smiled"I was probably over exagerating everything yesterday."
"yeah."
" I think I'll go call Jhon."
" oh...okay."she said as she wactched Charity dial the numbers."Jhon?"
" oh hey, ba---"he siad refraining form calling her babe.
" how was business last night."
" very good."
"are we still on tonight?"
" you know it."
" good."
" I got to go."
"alright bye.I love you."
" me too." Jhon said as he hung up.
" who was that?" Jennifer asked, laying beside him.
" oh, that was my mom."
"hum" she smiled as she went back to sleep.
Silly Jhon, maybe he of all people should of learned that two timing never ends up being ignored. In any case with Miguel, making sure Jhon get's his just desserts he'll be sure to learn.
" it's all set, she's gonna meet him infront of Boston U."Miguel said as he turned off his cell.
"you know I still have a bad feeling about this."
" everything ill work out."
"it better."
" have any of my plans, ever failed?"
" remember the fifth garde, and that girl named Kris."
"that was only that one time.I mean resently."
"bubble butt, Betty..."
" okay who asked you!?" he hissed.
"you did." he laughed.
" I guess all we have to do know is wait."
10 Minutes into waiting...
" I can't take the suspense!" Marcus exclaimed as he jumped up from the couch." it's like watching one of those reality t.v shoes or something."Miguel laughed." you should be worried, if this thing doesn't pan out, it's all comming back to you."
"well, if it does I was justified Jhon was the one cheating."he started as he sighed, while looking at Marcus" but if your're that worried, we can take a little walk to the front see if everything going as planned okay?"
"sounds more like it."Marcus said, as he walked towards the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" okay, how do I look?" Charity asked while walking out.
" very good."Charity smiled as she went over to a mirror." you really love Jhon don't you."
"yeah, with everything I have."
" that's beautiful. It really is."Charity faced, a dissapointed Destiny.
"what's wrong?" she asked as she moved walked closer to her.
"it's nothing, I just kinda wish I had what you do...a good man that loves me."
"well, I haven't known him for too long, but Marcus seems like a great guy."
" oh please" Destiny said with great attitude.
"no you c'mon.You know Marcus and Miguel aren't as bad as you think."
" I don't think were talking about the same guys here."
" I do...I think that way past their cadly ways, are some real good guys." she started, while she took Destiny by hand and walked her to the door." you just have to dig deep."she smiled, causing a chain reaction for Destiny.
"you're truly one in a million, girl that's all I have to say."
"I better get going...we'll talk tomorow more okay?"
" alright, have a good time!"
" I know I will."she said, as she left.
" okay, I see Jhon...and Jennifer."Miguel said with a touch of remourse in his voice." I really don't like that I have to do this."
"I don't like that I have to watch you do this."Marcus said as he stood behind Miguel." but, it's all for the good.It's just that Charity..."
" I know." It was the first time, that the two were acctually solem, and compassionate about their actions, funny that they've only known Charity for a about a week and they were already so found of her emotional being.More than they could say for most of the girls they knew.Making sure, that Jhon and Jennifer outside they decided to leave, they didn't want to whitness what would happen next.
" well look at this cute little thing!" Marcus smiled, as they passed Charity in the hallway.
" yeah, you really look good." Miguel added.
"thanks "Charity said as she smiled.
" so where you off to?" Marcus asked,seeing as Miguel couldn't really talk (verbally paralysed.)
"I have a date...Jhon."
"course you do."
"how about you two?"
"nothing really, me and Marcus are just gonna take it easy tonight."Miguel finally added.
" it's about time!" she laughed,causing another chain reaction." I really better get going , don't want to be late."
"right." both said exchanging looks." you," Miguel pasued before he continued"take care."
" I will" she trailed as she headed towards the doors.
" you like her."Marcus smilled, as he watched Miguel.
" yeah, she's alright."Miguel replied while they both started down the halls.
" you know what I mean."Marcus staretd.
"no I don't you like her too."
"obviously not the way you do." he smiled,as they continud to walk.
"sure Marcus." he said sarcasticlly, as they continued to walk.
"how does that song go again...oh yeah," he started"Miguel and Charity sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love then comes marriage..."
" your so immature."
" yeah, this from the man who watches SpongeBob."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Charity was making her way down the steps as she saw Jhon, she quickened her pace to get to him.Until she heard."I really had fun last night Jhon."she stayed behind the nearest bush.
" so did I," Jhon started.
" look, I'm a be real honest with you Jhon, I don't like playing second to this girl who ever she is.Thought you really liked me."Charity's eyes widdened, as she was tooken back with all she was hearing.
"I did too, just give it time."
" how much time."
"look, I'm meeting with her tonight.I was going to end things, you have nothing to worry about she's nothing to me anymore." he said as he went over to touch her face.The words piereced through Charity's heart, and then confusion wondered through her barin.How long has he been doing this? why? Finally she walked away form the bush and towards Jhon and Jennifer.He tunred around to see who it was and there Charity stood, quickly he unhanded Jennifer.
" who is she?" jennifer asked.
" yeah Jhon why don't you tell her who I am?"
" Charity..." he started." can we talk?"
"not until you tell me who she is?"Jennifer protested, but Jhon ignored her as he focussed on Charity.
" business right?"Charity, said in a weakened tone as she stared at Jhon." all this time, I thought that you acctually loved me.I sat there like an idiot and believed you after you said you had'business' or you were busy doing a 'paper' I really should've known better.How could you?"she asked as she gave Jhon a piercing look.Jhon didn't answer, he just looked to the ground."I should of known" she repeated" you did this to all the other girls you dated before me.I thought it be different with us, I thought I knew you." she said as she turned around and tried to walk away, he stopped her.
" look, I'm just real confused right now...I never ment to hurt you this way but it just wans't working out.We need a brake,"Jhon said, as Charity stared at awkwardly." I'm real--"
"save it" Charity quipped."I don't ever want to see you again.Ever" she thundered, as she faught her tears,"hope your happy." she finished as she turned around and left, going towards the steps she began to run and quickly. While opening Boston U's doors she thought of were to go, she couldn't go back to tthe dorm room Destiny was their, and she didn't want to just stand in the halls like a fool.She walked aimlesly down Boston U's hallways, before she found the girls bathroom she walked in and opened up the nearest stall.She closed the door, and ducked to the ground to make sure no one else was with her."Stupid!" she breathed out and she clenched her fist, and landed it against the bathroom stall, her tears started to fall as she did so.Quietly, she began to cry on by herself in the isolated bathroom.
" I can't believe this." Marcus started as he joined Miguel on the couch, the next mourning.
" I can. I knew Jhon was a jerk."
"what are we gonna do. I want to tell her."
" me too. I just can't believe that he's actually cheating on her after all the praise Charity gave him.Right in front of Boston U;" he laughed a bit" the bastard's making it real easy for a guy to..." he smiled at the brilliant idea that came to him.
