Torn Apart (African American Romance) by Cristina Grenier

anyone, it was definitely now.
    “What the fuck is this?” David Jr. shouted to get his dad’s attention.
    David Sr. paused, releasing Tina’s head and allowing her to fall forward on the couch. He stared in shock at his son; he had never seen his son look so enraged before and he finally felt what he had known was wrong in the first place. There was dead silence for what seemed like an eternity, until Tina lifted herself up off the couch leaning back kissing the elder David on the cheek and saying, ”Daddy, can you get your huge dick out of me now? I think you two need to be alone to talk.”
    Before Tina could even turn around good enough to look back at David Jr. to smirk again, he had made it over to the couch and slapped Tina speechless.
    “Son, that’s enough! I raised you better than that !” David Sr. shouted at his son pulling up his pants and then grabbing Tina’s face checking on her out of concern.
    David Jr. stared in disbelief and lost his composure even more.
    “How dare you say anything to me about how I was raised! Maybe you have a point though—maybe this side of me does come from your upbringing. I can’t believe you are here fucking this bitch! My ex-girlfriend?! How the fuck can you do this? Forget about me, but how can you do this to mom?”
    “Watch your language in my house, boy!” David Sr. continued to scold his son instead of dealing with the situation at hand as Tina grabbed her red face scrambling to grab her clothes off the floor and get dressed the best and as fast as she could.
    “Fuck this! You talk to me now about this because you won’t get the chance later. You cannot possibly think this is right what you’ve done I’m fuck ing pissed. How long has this been going on?”
    “I’ve been fucking your father off and on for years you bastard. While you were away at college playing house with that slut, I decided if I couldn’t have you I’d have your father,” Tina shouted.
    “That’s enough, Tina!” David Sr. scolded her. “Leave me and my son alone so we can talk.”
    “So this is true? You’ve been cheating on my mot her with this bitch? The same whore who’s been fucking everybody in this town, including me? I just fucked her a couple months back. And then you bring her here to my mom’s home?”
    Tina tried to run toward David Jr. to attack him but his father grabbed her and dragged her out toward the front door as she screamed obscenities at David Jr. A few moments later David Sr. had stepped back inside the living room.
    “So how long?” David Jr. asked.
    David Sr. paused for a moment before answering.
    “Son, you know I have been doing some things that I should not have been doing for quite some time now. Tina hasn’t been the only one.”
    “Yea, I know but how long with her or anyone that I’ve been seeing?”
    “There hasn’t been anyone else that you know, son. I just got caught up with Tina. Why do you think I was so against you being involved with her anyway? I knew she was one of those type of girls.”
    “Oh, so those are the type of girls that are ok for you to be involved with and cheat on my mother with?” David Jr. asked looking in disbelief.
    “Son, you’re better than me. I know I’m shit for the things I’ve done to you and your mom. I never meant to hurt either of you. I’m sorry you had to see this.”
    “Again, how long?” David Jr. continued for an answer.
    “I’ve been seeing Tina off and on for years, son. It all started back when you left for college. She came to me for some counseling saying she was trying to move on past you and get herself together, then all of a sudden she was all over me and I just gave in. It’s been off and on ever since.”
    David Jr. could not believe what he was hearing. He felt betrayed, and all this time he had always felt like he was the one that had been betraying Tina. Even if he had initially hurt her, this turn of events and discovery was not deserved. His ego was even more bruised
