Trevante Rhodes: looking down, voice low I need to tell you something... I have a wife.
what..i look at him as if i didn't hear him right
he nods his head slowly I know... It's hard to believe, I know... But, I've been married for three years now.
I look at him surprised what..?
he looks down at his hands, avoiding eye contact Yeah... It's not something I'm proud of, but I've been married for two years now.
oh…well…I wish you the best of luck she stands up and leaves quickly as her eyes get teary
he panics as she gets up, standing up and quickly grabbing her wrist Hey, wait! Don't go. Let me explain.
i chuckle You know what i thought this was going somewhere but Im actually happy for you!
looking at you surprised, raises an eyebrow Happy? Why?
I look at him shocked and disappointed w-what?..but…you said we would be together forever..
Trevante rubs his face, looking ashamed as he speaks
Listen, I know this may come as a shock to you but I can’t change the fact that I’m married. And I did lie to you about our future together.
I don't believe him so I say No way
sighing, looking into your eyes Yes. It's true. I've been hiding it from you for weeks now. I know you're probably hurt right now but I'm sorry.
I feel like I got shotI’m sorry what?
sighs and rubs his face Yeah... I know this may be hard to hear, but it's the truth. My wife is back home in Texas. We've been married for a couple years now.
I smirk. okay that's fine but not what I expected to hear.
looking up at you, he frowns Why are you not upset? You were just about to tell me you love me and now I drop a bomb on you like this?
i throw 500 dollars on the table and walk out of the place not giving him another glance
he chases after you Hey! Wait!
catching up to you outside Please, just let me explain. I can explain.
What? I looked at him shocked So what's happening here then?
Trevante rubs his head, looking visibly stressed Look, I know this is gonna be hard for you to hear but I just need to be honest with you. I enjoy spending time with you, more than any other person I've met. But I'm already married, and I don't plan on leaving my wife.
I choke on my drink and start coughing furiously.
immediately reaching out to pat your back, trying to calm you down
Hey, hey, it's okay. Drink some water. It'll be alright.
