ParkCrest View - The Love Chronicles Volume 2 Read online

  “ Well girl what happened to that fine ass white dude from your building? Hell he's had you on lock down for a month now. I thought you really meant it when you said it was over with Darien” Trevonne asked trying to sound sincere.

  “Well now I wont lie and say he wasn't a nice distraction Tre....But Darien and I have four years together and that's kinda hard to walk away from. So I mean I'm not saying we'll absolutely get together right away. Who knows girl it may just be a steady sex thing , if we do something though, I’ll keep you posted.” Jazzlyn said smiling.

  “What about you girl ? When are you going to fall in love and settle down?” Jazzlyn asked sweetly.

  “Shit I'm not even looking right now. Most of these men out here are no good anyway! I'd rather just stay by myself” Trevonne said

  “ Stay by yourself? Who are you trying to fool? It's me your talking to. I know your hot ass like to stay with a man up in that bed back there” Jazzlyn said pointing towards Trevonnes bedroom. “ What are you trying to say Jazzlyn?”Trevonne said starting to get pissed. “ I aint trying to say shit Tre....I'm saying it. Let's keep it funky. We're amongst friends here. Well except Kita and if she's cool with Sherica she's cool by me . You know damn well you stay with a dick on reserve....Even when the dick don't belong to you! So who you fucking heffa?” Jazzlyn asked leaning in laughing.

  Sherica sat with her fork mid air wanting to burst out laughing. Even though she loved Trevonne like a little sister she was prone to doing shady shit,like sleeping with men she knew were in relationships . That's my girl but hell...What she want me to say? Real is real. Sherica though as took another bite of Jazzlyns mac and cheese .

  I don't know what the hell is going on here, but something aint right! Kita thought to herself taking a sip of her rum and coke. “ Well ahem..I will agree with you on one point Trevonne sometimes these men out here on the dating scene aint worth a damn! The bad thing for me is , I messed up a relationship with a good man because I didn't have it together.....Along with a few other things. To be honest I'm still in love with him. Right now I'm in the process of trying to iron out a few issues I had going on at the time and I have high hopes that once I do, we can get back together. I know what we had is real so I'm not going to give up on us.” Kita said

  “ That's cool Kita well I mean if it's something you could possibly work out, you’re already going in the right direction. As long as both parties are willing. I wish you luck in this love game sis!”Jazzlyn said “ Darien and I were together four years prior to our break up and I truly believe..That in this day and time you should look at all options before you just call it quits. On that note ladies I'm going to head on out. I'm going to meet up with Darien so we can have our little heart to heart”Jazzlyn said walking into the kitchen to throw away her paper plates and cup. Afterward Jazzlyn freshened up in the bathroom before leaving. As she was coming out of the bathroom Trevonne was leaving her bedroom.” Hey girl I'm on my way out gimme a hug!” Jazzlyn said and she hugged Trevonne.....Rolling her eyes at the same time. I don't know how long I'll be out tonight but do you want to meet up at Cool Beans for lunch? So we can catch up just you and I? Let me know OK, we'll just play it by ear. I'm out though. You know how Darien is he's already blowing my phone up.” Jazzlyn said.

  Second Time Around ?

  Jazzlyn walked into the lounge and saw Darien sitting at the bar. Here goes absolutely fucking nothing she thought to herself as she walked up to him.” Hey Darien” Jazzlyn said smiling and thinking to herself what the fuck am I doing here with this joke? “ Hey Baby!” Darien said smiling and leaning in for a kiss. Jazzlyn quickly inched away and hit him with an air kiss.” Let's go to a booth so we can talk. You look beautiful as always “ Darien said looking Jazzlyn up in down. Damn he thought aint nothing like a chocolate sista in all white. Jazzlyn knows I love it when she wears her hair in a twist out . I know she got all dressed up for me. That's whassup!

  “So Darien you've been calling me for awhile. Here we are. I'm finally ready to speak .Keep in mind, if you're not going to come at me with complete honesty I'm going to get my ass up from this booth. Do you understand ?” Jazzlyn asked. “ I understand Jazz. I'll admit when we first broke up I was like fuck it. This time apart though has really made me think about some of the things you said. I realize I have some things I could have done to make our relationship better and I'm willing to do whatever it takes.” Darien said.

  “Darien have you ever cheated on me?” Jazzlyn asked “What! Why would you think that? You know I love you.”Darien said “ Darien can you just answer the question without all that extra stuff ? I have it on very good authority that you cheated on me while we were together. I don't give a damn about what you've been doing while we were apart, but while we were together and I was giving my all to you, all day everyday,were you cheating on me?” Jazzlyn asked . Darien stared at Jazzlyn going over his mind how to answer the question. I know damn well Trevonne aint told her shit because for one she wouldn't risk losing me fucking with her ass or Jazzlyns friendship.” Jazz I don't know who the hell you're getting your information from, but they need to stay the fuck out of my business. As long as we've been together I aint never cheated on you and that's my word!” Darien said.

  “See that right there is the problem Darien. When it comes to me, just how solid is your word ? Like I said, I heard it on very good authority that you did cheat. I feel like if we're going to try to salvage any part of our relationship we need to start anew. On the up and up.” Jazzlyn said . This negro is dumb as hell she thought to herself looking at him running the lies he could tell her through his head. He's too dumb to realize the authority I heard from is him! He's so pathetic it's almost funny. Here I am wasting my time and I can barely concentrate because I'm so fucking mad at Tyson right now! Let me wind this shit up and get my ass home.

  “OK Darien I see we’re not making any progress here. So I'm done.” Jazzlyn said standing up to leave.” Wait a minute Jazzlyn....You finally met up with me only to ask if I cheated on you? You expect me to cop to some shit I didn't do? Then you think if I did admit some shit I didn't do.....I'm supposed to believe you'd forgive me for the shit? . I'm a lot of things Jazz but I aint never been crazy.” Darien said. “ Like I told you before I aint never cheated on you. I put that on everything!”Darien said.

  “OK then Darien. It was nice seeing you.” Jazzlyn said walking away.

  “Jazzlyn wait...Damn!” Darien said frustration in his voice.

  “Another time Darien.” Jazzlyn called over her shoulder as she walked out.

  Revelations

  Jazzlyn walked down the corridor to her apartment and paused in front of Tyson’s door. You know what fuck that, she thought to herself . I may as well start calling everyone out on their bullshit. Tyson came to me with his “ Oh I don't lie. I'm honest” bullshit and turned out to be a nothing but a liar as well! Since I have to live right next to him I may as well clear the air Jazzlyn thought knocking on Tyson's door.

  “ Well damn!” Tyson said opening the door.” I thought I was going to have to send a search party after you.” Tyson said “ Come in.” “ Hey Tyson.” Jazzlyn said “ I got your messages today but I had a lot going on.”Jazzlyn said. My GOD this man looks good she thought...Why the hell does he have to be no good too? “ It's cool I understand. I'm glad you came by though I wanted to see you. Tyson said smiling. “ This aint your first time here Jazzlyn “ Tyson said laughing “ Why are standing at the door ? Come in and make yourself comfortable.” Tyson said walking into his living room. Jazzlyn followed him saying “ Well Tyson I really didn't plan on staying very long I just wanted to ask you about something” Jazzlyn said crossing her arms.

  Tyson turned around and looked at Jazzlyn. It was clear she had something on her mind. Damn she looks good he thought. I've seen this look one too many times though .My mom,sisters and a few ex's got this look on lock! She has an attitude about something, somebody has pissed her off. I know I haven't done anything so m
aybe she just needs to vent he thought.

  “All right then. Do you want to sit down or you're just going to stand” Tyson asked. “ I'm fine standing. Tyson with everything you know I went through last month with Trevonne and Darien why would you lie to me too?” Jazzlyn asked . “You made a big point of telling me all about how straight up you are and what a stand up man you are and here it is I find out your ass is a liar too. “ Jazzlyn said getting angrier by the second. “ I mean I know I haven't known you very long but I really thought you were better than that.”

  “ Hold up now. First of all Jazzlyn. I don't know what the hell you're even talking about. When you decide to knock on this door right here” Tyson said pointing to his front door “And to come in my place accusing me of what.... I don't know. You need to explain yourself a little better. What the hell is wrong with you ?” “ Tyson you're gonna stand in my damn face and lie? Straight face and all. Hell I saw you! You know what ? Fuck this you muthafuckas are all the same. Liars and cheats. I don't even know why the hell I thought you might be different. Maybe the one thing Darien did tell the truth about is you. I'll bet your ass does go around trying to fuck every black woman you see!” Jazzlyn turned to leave.

  “ Oh no you don't ! Turn your ass around and deal with me man to woman. You aint gonna storm your way into my place, call yourself cussing me out and then leave. That aint the way this goes "Tyson said laughing. “ Your laughing ? See what I mean immature ass little boys. All of you.” Jazzlyn said.

  “ No baby. I'm very mature. That's the problem with you right there. First off Jazzlyn I don't have to lie you. Yes we've been seeing each other the last month but we don't have shit in stone. So whatever I want to do regarding any woman I'm free to do. Just as you are. Two you didn't see me do shit....Because I haven't done anything. If I was seeing other women I'm not the type of man who would do it behind your back. Your ass standing there quick to throw dirt on my character but you the one wasted four years of your life with a man who wasn't shit ! Let's keep it real baby. Dude wasn't shit before you found out he was fucking your best friend. From the day we started speaking when I carried that gang of groceries in the house for you......Mind you when his ass was sitting up in your place doing what ? Playing play-station ? No job ? No place ? Let me remind you Jazzlyn, I aint never had to lay my head at your place or ask you for a dime. Another thing. I aint fucked your best friend. Matter of fact I don't do lushes so she could never get none of this any damn way. So before you start with all your accusations you better be making them to the right one “ Tyson said angrily. “ It's real funny you can walk your ass in here accusing me of shit Jazzlyn but you've yet to confront the people that have actually done something to you. Get your priorities straight. Don't you ever compare me to your ex-man. Are you losing your mind right now ?” Tyson asked.

  “Tyson you talking a lot of shit but the truth is I saw you.” Jazzlyn said pointing her finger at him. “ No doubt about it I saw you with another woman today! So you can stand here all righteous talking all that shit right now. But it doesn't mean shit when I caught you” Jazzlyn said wanting to cry.” I just hate I trusted you and I'm angry with you because you knew what was going on with me and I feel you took advantage of my situation."

  “ Jazzlyn you keep saying you “ saw” me...What did you see me doing ?” Tyson asked. “ I saw you today at Quigglys Market . Walking your ass around the store with the sista with the short cut and the big booty! You two looked friendly as hell to me. I'm not up for the bullshit games Tyson from you or anyone!” Jazzlyn said.

  “Quigglys Market ? Today?” Tyson asked. “Yes today Tyson don't stand here playing games with me” Jazzlyn said “ You can't deny it , because I saw you with my own two eyes.”

  Tyson walked to his bar and picked up his cell phone and made a call. “ Yea, I need you to come over here real quick. Thanks I'll see you in a few.” Tyson turned back to Jazzlyn “ You know what anyone else coming at me like this I would have let the shit go. But the whole way you just came at me? I'm letting you know off the top. You were dead wrong coming at me the way you just did . I am going to ask you to give me a chance to defend myself . There's something about your ass I like …... A lot. So just sit your ass down and we're going to clear this up in just a few minutes.” Tyson said.

  “ Tyson I really don't see the point. I mean you may think I'm tripping because we've only been dealing with one another a short time but seeing you with another woman, when for the last month every time I'm around you I felt like I may had finally met someone special that shit hurts” Jazzlyn said shaking her head “ I saw you with her today and look at me....I got mad and flipped. I even went over to Trevonnes tonight and made her believe I was going to take Darien back. I know she's over there scared as hell I might be fucking him right now. Then I went out and met Darien for drinks and he really thought I may take him back. I even asked him point blank if he ever cheated on me. Which of course he never admitted. Then you . People just expect me to believe them over my own damn eyes!” Jazzlyn said. “ I'm going to be done with all your asses because you have me acting out of my character. Before I do that and stoop to all of your level I'll remove everyone of you from my life.

  “Jazzlyn I know right now you think I'm trying to bring some extra drama to your life but I'm not” Tyson said. They both heard the knock on the door “ Hold on just a second” Tyson said going to answer the door. “ Damn I'm glad you were home Brianna!” Tyson said “ Well shit I was on my way out to get my drink on at the club when you called sounding all serious. What the hell is going on over here? Please don't tell me imma have to put my foot up Kitas crazy ass because I will do it. Your ass better have my bail money ready too!” Brianna said.

  Laughing low Tyson said “ You'll see in a second” They walked back down the hall into the living room where Jazzlyn was sitting on the couch. When she saw the same female she'd seen Tyson with at the store earlier in the day. “ Oh hell no !” Jazzlyn stood up saying. “ I know you didn't call your woman over here! It is not that goddamn serious. Tyson I don't know what kind of women you're used to dealing with, but I don't play these type of silly ass games. No disrespect to you sista ….You can have his ass. You're calling women over here like you got a damn harem and we're about to have a fuckin menage a trios. You asked to explain yourself and I was going to let you, but your ass has gone too far now. You are not all that Tyson” Jazzlyn said throwing her purse over her shoulder and heading for the door .

  “ Ummph! I guess so!” Brianna said “ You sure she aint on that last ones level Tyson?” Brianna asked already figuring out somewhat why Tyson had called her over. “ Excuse me? Honey you do not know me so I would suggest you keep your comments towards me as respectful as I've kept mine towards you. That can change in a minute if you want to take it there. “ Jazzlyn said.

  “ Jazzlyn meet Brianna. Brianna meet Jazzlyn. My sister Brianna” Tyson said. “ Your sister? “ Jazzlyn said looking back and forth. “ Tyson I was born at night but it wasn't last night OK ?” I'm going to leave you two right here with your foolishness OK? I do not have time for this.” Jazzlyn said. “ Isn't this who you saw me at the store with ? By the way Bri....Jazzlyn said you have a big booty. “ Tyson said laughing . “ Don't hate “ Brianna said looking at Jazzlyn “ Hell you got me over here interrupting my evening out. I hope old girl is worth it. Mama was talking mess when you left today too because you didn't take any food with you. I should put a foot up your ass too while I'm here, because your own sister can't get invited over on a good day. But I guess when you gotta prove the family ties to these newbies you can call me over then can't you!” Brianna said. “ Close your mouth Boo. My brother is not a liar. I'm his sister,not a woman he's creeping on you with. So now that' we've solved this little mystery. Can I hit the club now? Brianna asked looking back and forth at Tyson and Jazzlyn. “ You are pretty though. I can see why my brother told us about you today at lunch. I'm gonna also give you a few points for digging in his ass when you
thought he was out with another woman” Brianna said laughing and heading towards the door. “ Bye you two!”

  “ Bye Bri, thanks for coming by. Love you” Tyson said. “ Love you to baby brother.” Brianna called back before she shut the door.

  “ So are you ready to talk to me now instead of throwing accusations and you don't even know what you're talking about ?” Tyson asked looking at Jazzlyn who looked dumbfounded.

  Better Than Nothing

  “ Hey Darien. I'm glad you came by” Trevonne said “ Do you want a drink?” “ Hell no I don't want no damn drink. I just met with Jazz a while ago and she was asking me did I ever cheat on her. What the fuck did you tell her Tre? Jazz aint never questioned me like this about cheating on her now all of a sudden she talking about she got it on good “ authority” I 'm cheating?” Darien said “ So who the fuck could be telling her some shit like that but your ass.....Look at me when I'm fucking talking to you!” Darien said .
