      Me and Gabrielle were cuddling on the couch in our apartment watching a movie on Netflix when her phone rang. She looked down at her phone on the coffee table to see who was calling her. It was obvious she didn't want me to know who was calling her. She got up and went into our bedroom and took the call. I became suspicious right away.

      I always hated it when a woman I was dating turned her back to me whenever she took a phone call. Especially when you can hear a man's voice on the other end.

      I could hear her talking on the phone, but she was talking low. Is it another man?

      I couldn't take it anymore, I needed to know who she was talking to. I got up and eased into the bedroom. She didn't hear me come in, she still had her back turned to me. Now she was whispering. I crossed my arms, watching her, suspicious. When she felt my presence I scared her. She jumped so hard she almost dropped her phone. Her curly hair almost smacked me in the face when she turned and faced me. Her eyes were big, mouth opened, and she put her hand over her heart.

      I said, So who’re you talkin’ to on the phone?

      She looked like she just got caught sticking a knife in my back. Her face softened up on me. I'm talking to Eli, Cory.

      I wanted to grab her and shake her until her head fell off. The fuck you doing talking to him for, I thought we talked about this.

      I should have known!

      He needed my help with something," she said. She held the phone close to her chest so that he couldn't hear us.

      So why you sneak off to come back here to talk to him?

      Because I didn't want to interrupt you watching the movie. She really must think I'm stupid.

      Bulshit. You snuck off back here because you didn't want me to hear you talking to him.

      Now she felt stupid. Right.

      I know damn well I'm right.

      Now she's trying to avoid confrontation. And because I knew this could turn into an argument when it's not worth an argument at all.

      Now she was guilting me about my quick temper.

      Now I could hear Eli talking. My bad Gabby. Is everything all right? I'm not causing any problems am I?

      She smiled and said, No, Eli, it's nothing wrong, everything's fine, he's okay.

      I shook my head. No, I'm not okay. I thought we talked about this.

      Still, she's kissing ass and apologizing. No, Eli, he's fine, he just didn't know who I was talking to.

      I was about to snatch the phone out of her hand and talk for myself. "Why does he keep checking on you to see if you're okay, I'm your boyfriend. Not him."

      She sighed, staring at the floor. She wished she never answered the phone. She put the phone on speaker. I gave her a look, daring her to keep pissing me off.

      She stared into my eyes. "Eli, we're on speaker.

      He said, Yeah. My fault Cory man. I just didn't know what was going on. I didn't know you were home -

      Yeah, I am home and yeah I am here with my girl.

      Like I said, I apologize for that. We're just old friends talking, that's all.

      Yeah, whatever.

      Ain't nothing going on between us.

      Gabby wanted this shit to be
