My Kourt Pt. 4

This could not be happening right now. My bestfriend and my MAN?! The idea of them together just brought me to tears. I wanted answers and I knew just where to get them from. No, I wasn’t going to confront Kourtney because I would probably slap that ho! And going all in on Roman was not going to lead me to understand this façade, knowing his charming ass, he would probably just tell me what I wanted to hear. So, I drove to Jasmine’s place.

I knocked on the door and pounded on the door in frustration and confusion. She opened up the door with an attitude.

           “Who the hell is making all of this ruckus?”

            “Jas, we need to talk,” I said rubbing my pregnant stomach Kourtney’s phone in my other hand.

             “This is not a good time Marissa.”

I pushed my way passed Jasmine and wouldn’t you know it, Kourtney was sitting on a stool in Jasmine’s kitchen crying a river. What I didn’t notice right away was Jasmine’s friend Kirk. Now, they were all about to start explaining. Why the hell was Kourtney here crying? And does Kirk know about Roman’s infidelity? This whole shenanigan was out of character for Jasmine. She would have definitely said something by now.

            “Marissa, I told you now was not a good time.”

            “The hell it is…you both have some explaining to do,” I shouted.

“Jas, we can’t have this now. Kourt you really messed this up, you know that? We’ll never finish this case appropriately now,” Kirk stated, motioning his hands in the air.

           “Shut up Kirk, let me handle this,” Jas spoke. “Marissa, we…”

Cutting her off a tearful Kourtney stood up walking to meet me face to face. I wanted to slap her right then and there but I didn’t want to slap her without having more reason.

             “We have been lying you to for a long time.” 

Kourtney was trying to sound sincere but I didn’t feel like she was being genuine. Especially after all we’d been through together.

“Jasmine and Kirk are really detectives. They’ve been investigating Roman’s company for about 6 months now…”

              “Don’t tell her all the details,” Kirk complained.

              “You’re gonna tell me details Kirk, all three of you are.”

Jasmine spoke up, “our line of work is very protective and that’s why I mask it with a fake career. None of this was done to hurt you Marissa you have to understand that first and foremost.”

Jasmine, Kirk, and Kourtney went on for about an hour filling me in on everything but I was upset. My friends, people whom I’ve trusted had lied to me all this time. Jasmine and Kirk about who they are and Kourtney was involved in their investigation as a pawn. They were using her to get information from Roman but why not me? Especially since I’m in love with this man, I’m marrying him in a few months and baring his child. It was all making sense now though. This was the reason Roman was always working late. Why Kourtney was shying away from our friendship. The phone call Jas had the other day when we were dress shopping. I had been so blind and oblivious to it all.

The thing that was hurting me the most in that moment hearing their truth was that MY Kourt stood there and looked me in my eyes and told me she was in love with MY Roman. Once upon a time when we were in college I felt the same way about her…
