It was really sad for Tom, and hard for me to as I felt his pain. I felt I sorry for him, actually. But at the same time I kind of really admired Jamaal for taking charge of the situation so easily. It must have really hurt Tom when Jamaal ridiculed our pet name, I thought.
Then I thought that Tom wouldn’t be calling me honeybear any more, like, never ever again, Probably for fear of getting bitch-slapped, I thought lol. It was quite funny that Tom wouldn’t ever be calling me that name again. Actually, I thought it was a stupid name. So no more honeybear was a good thing for me.
“Well do ya bitch? Wanna take it outside?” Jamaal said again to Tom.
My husband shook his head, defeated. “No” he finally said.
“Sit back down and say sorry to my lady for calling her a bitch” Jamaal said, finally releasing Tom’s hair. “No one calls her a bitch except me”
“Uh, I’m uh, sorry, Rachel, for saying that” my husband said.
“What Tom? For saying what?” I said
“Uh, sorry for calling you a bitch Rachel”.
“Thanks Tom. I appreciate it. It’s best to keep things civil now” I said.
I know I keep saying it, and it sounds stupid now, but I was still really mad with Tom about the dress. I wondered if I should get Jamaal make Tom apologise to me for ruining my dress too, or even give me money for a new one.
“Jamaal look what Tom did to my dress” I said and showed Jamaal the stains on my dress.
