Even though her hard front kept her from shedding tears in the faces of those who wanted so badly to hurt her, it still didn’t stop the hateful words. Words really do cut deeper than most actions. Only a handful of girls actually tried to result to physically attacking her but they soon figured out that was a mistake.
Years after elementary passed is when she started to appreciate her bigger size because she had the boobs before the stick figures she came up with. Having a big booty was in style while other girls tried to pad their front and back to compare themselves. The resentment of being teased in elementary didn’t vanish just because the boys found her attractive. Oh no, it became worst because she wasn’t planning on giving them the time of day. They only wanted one thing and she knew that from jump. Her daddy kept her hipped to the game of the ratchet mouth hoodlums that wanted to cozy up next to her.
Shutting them down on numerous occasions caused them to revert back to calling her names. Instead of calling her out on being overweight they would now call her stuck-up, snooty, and most importantly a grade A bitch. Whenever it was said out loud, Danni would hold her head up high and give it some flavor. ‘The best bitch. I can give ya mama pointers if you like.’ That always shut them up. Who likes ‘yo mama’ jokes? Especially in front of other people that were sure to laugh. Needless to say, she never dated anyone her age. Anyone she saw was always a good two or more years older than she was. Secretly of course. Even those handful of prospects only lasted so long since she wasn’t putting out or opening up.
Meeting Lamont in college was something straight out of a typical romance novel. Boy meets girl. Girl tutors boy. Boy is popular. Girl is not. Boy pursues girl after countless refusals. They finally start to date and the rest is history. The only thing is lacking is the vows they made seem pointless now as she lets her suspicions get the best of her. It is true that she could be asking for trouble by looking. ‘Seek and you shall find’ is the saying. So be it. She needed answers.
Upon opening the saved email, Danielle thought for sure this was some type of joke, spam, or something else sinister. Just when she was going to delete and forget about it, the name of one of the pictures caught her attention. The files name was Lamont&her.jpg. Instantly her heart started to pound, ears started to ring, and hands began to itch. Anticipation was going to kill her if she didn’t appease her curiosity. Saying a small prayer to herself she braced herself trying to calm down her breathing. Quickly she locked the door to her office for she didn’t want to be interrupted or heard by anyone if this made her angry. Why hadn’t she read the attachments the first time? For sure she would have opened it up then.
The first picture was of him walking down a hallway of an expensive hotel it seems. The tux he wore was very familiar for he just wore it during their anniversary party. The time stamp on the picture confirmed that for her. Another frame showed the snow white beauty walking down the same hall casually looking behind her. The next shots were of them both disappearing behind the same door which could have been completely innocent. ‘He said he went to talk business with some colleagues.’ Danielle was steadily trying to convince herself that this wasn’t what it seemed. Deciding to send the video to her tablet instead of opening it on her computer, she wanted no evidence that she was doing personal stuff on a business portal.
The video showed them talking, smiling, and gawking at one another. Which could still be innocent until Snow White approached her husband of five years in an unprofessional manner. She was so close to him and he did nothing to put space between them. If anything he pushed up on her harder. From the camera’s angle in the corner she couldn’t tell exactly what was happening for
