So I meet this guy. He says his name is Jay. Cool. Jay got manners, got a job, always “good morning beautiful,” always calling… giving “grown man” energy.
We vibing for a minute. Going out, taking pics, meeting friends… whole little relationship.
One day we in the store and the cashier like, “ID please.”
He hands it over.
…and I’m looking at it like…
Who TF is MARCUS??
I said, “Why your ID say Marcus?”
He goes, “That’s my middle name.”
Now I tried to accept it… but my spirit said mmm nope.
Fast forward—we at his place. Mail on the table.
Envelope says… Marcus ______.
I said, “So why your mail got your ‘middle name’ on it too?”
Now he irritated like I’m annoying him.
Sir… YOU the one living a double life 😭
Then BOOM. Facebook suggested friend pops up. It’s him. Same face, same dimples.
But the name?
Marcus ______.
And the profile pic is him… with a girl… and a baby… caption: “My lil family ❤️”
Y’all I froze so hard I turned into WiFi.
I click the page and it’s not even old pictures. It’s RECENT.
Like anniversary posts. Matching pajamas. Family photos. The whole “Blessed” package.
So I call him. Calm. Too calm.
“Hey… who is Marcus?”
Silence.
Then he goes, “Why you stalking me?”
STALKING?? Sir you posted your whole life publicly. I just used my eyes.
I said, “So Jay don’t exist??”
This man said: “Jay is who I am with you.”
OH… so you’re an actor.
Long story short—Jay was a stage name because Marcus had… issues.
Like legal issues. Like relationship issues. Like “don’t Google me” issues.
I blocked him.
Tell me why he text me from a new number like: “Hey this Jay.”
I said: “No baby… this Marcus.”
Moral of the story: if they say they’re “private,” make sure they’re not just HIDING. 😭
