Three months later.
So much time has passed and life has been a bubble of bliss. Ian and I are still going strong but lately, I feel as if he is pulling away. When I asked him about it he said I was looking for a fight.
"Baby, is there anything wrong with us?"
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me if I'm wrong, but lately it feels as if we're not connected like we used to, are you comfortable being with me?"
"Where's all this coming from Rina!?" he raised his voice and YEAH he called me Rina! That hurt so bad...what happened to 'sweetcakes'
"Woah! Why are you shouting? It was just an innocent question. No need to get all riled up about it." I raised my voice as well.
He sighed and enveloped me in a hug. "You're being insecure because I'm about to leave, but sweetcakes there's no need to worry about us okay. I'm very comfortable with you." Ahh, there it is... 'sweetcakes'. A very huge smile developed after that and we were okay again. I was just tripping. But you have to understand, he's about to move halfway across the world and expects us to still be normal? He's moving to a country with so many opportunities, when I say opportunities I'm talking about girls.
The same old fights have been happening between me and Khalil. What is even worse is that we've been partnered up for this assignment on a house and it's been fun, but working with him is hell. How can someone have such a huge ego! Zoé finally broke up with that Riley chick. She wasn't great for her, she was just looking for someone to get her off. Such a bitch.
Today I'm finally moving into my new apartment and I'm so excited. Like a kid who just got all the sugary things in a store. Zoé and Ian are helping me carry my boxes inside.
"So...this is where you'll be living from now on huh?" Zoé asked but you could hear she's sad.
"Yeah. It's beautiful isn't it?" I smiled looking around.
The apartment was beautiful. The walls were painted in white, the kitchen was the size of my old dorm room...which is pretty big, which means more baking! The living room was okay too, it was fully furnished which was a blessing upon blessings.
The apartment had a great vibe to it, it's sort of a place where one could meditate and relax. It's a very peaceful place and I love it. I took the room at the end of the hall because the other one was already occupied.
Lucky for me my room had great lighting and a perfect spot by the window to curl up and read a book. This is totally the best apartment I could ever get. It's affordable and it is within walking distance to campus.
"I'm gonna miss you so much!" Zoé cried out.
My heart feels sad with her..."Aah c'mon Zo. You can come every day if you want to," I tried to make the situation better.
"I'm not that crazy babe. I could totally use some space between us. I'd like to have my hookups without feeling guilty about making you horny."
"Oh my gosh, Zo! I can't even-" I burst out laughing, I'm certainly going to miss her living with her.
"Alright, y'all I'm out. I'll see you tomorrow Ri, love you girl," she left waving her hand comically.
"So we can finally have privacy," Ian said, smirking.
"Oh yeah. You can finally twerk for me without worrying about Zoé bursting in," I joked.
"Aha! You're one crazy girlfriend but at least you catch my drift...although it won't be me twerking, it'll be you."
"Ahh good sir, what is it you see me as? Entertainment?" I tried that British accent and laughed at how stupid I sounded.
"Well I see you as the best thing that's happened to me...but you are entertaining," I slapped his chest and pulled him towards me kissing the dear life out of him.
"Argh guys can't you do that somewhere else!?" a voice I wasn't intending on hearing until Monday filled up the room.
"Uhm what are you doing here?" I asked.
"What do you mean? I live here. Ian knows that," he answered my question gesturing to an Ian who's really quiet now.
So you see, Ian was the one who showed me this apartment and everything and it seems as if he didn't mention one important detail of all of this. That I'll be living with Khalil. The only human being I loath. The one person in this entire world I can't stand and my boyfriend was quiet about it!
"IAN. Why did you not mention this to me?" I clenched my teeth as I spoke. I'm trying to remain calm. Keyword ' trying '!
"Uhhh...well you see, what happened was I thought this would be a great opportunity for you two to set aside your differences and get along you know," He smiled pointing to the both of us and I crossed my arms over my chest.
"But I told you I don't like him!" I'm really trying to remain calm but what was Ian thinking? There's no way that Khalil and I could ever live together.
"Well I don't like you too, we've got something in common," the douchebag says.
"Nobody was talking to you, asshole!"
"Well, I definitely don't want to talk to you either."
"Then shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Wow. Ian seems pretty pissed right now. "Now the both of you will learn how to live with each other and talk properly like normal human beings instead of acting like little peasants! Do you understand?"
"Okay woah, I don't know who you are talking to like th-" I try to finish but Ian cuts me off.
"I said, do you understand?"
"Yeah," Khalil and I replied in unison.
"Good. I'm taking off sweetcakes now. I'll see you later," He gave me a peck on the lips and did that bro shake with Khalil and left.
I go into my room and slam the door like a pissed off teenager, well I am a pretty pissed off teenager. I unpack my stuff and reorganize the room, cleaning it from top to bottom and making sure that everything is up to my standards.
Once I'm done I hear my stomach grumbling, I go into the kitchen and luckily I had bought groceries just in case. I take out some chicken and defrost it. I cooked enough food for two people(why I'm that generous, I don't know) I called out for Khalil.
"Khalil if you're hungry I cooked enough food for two."
"Are you trying to kill me?" He enters the kitchen shirtless and his body is just so amazing to look at. He has a great body and he looks so hot right now, he has killer muscles that show he works out. His six-pack looks so good and to top it off it's as if he has an enhanced V. He is a walking god, it's a pity he's shitty.
"Honestly if I wanted to kill you, food wouldn't be the approach. I would stab you to death but only after torturing you slowly and painfully," I said smiling at him.
"Woah 'sweetcakes' no need to be so aggressive."
"Don't call me that!" I leave the kitchen for the living room.
Khalil follows after me with his plate of food "Why not. Doesn't it sound better from me?" he asked, smirking.
"No! It makes me want to vomit." I gagged.
"Well at least there's an advantage with staying with you," he said getting up.
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"You can cook." And with that he leaves me alone, he probably thinks I'm going to be his maid. He's yet to see hell.
My alarm rings at six o'clock to wake me up from the deep slumber I was in. It is time to face the world again I guess. I get out of my bed and go into my wardrobe to get my towel and toiletries and leave the room for the bathroom. I go over to the bathtub and open up water to fill it and brush my teeth by the bathroom sink. When the water has been filled, the room is a little bit steamy, I get in and soak my body. It feels so good. I don't know why my muscles hurt so much but this right here is heaven. After I'm done bathing I wrap my body with the fluffy towel Zoé bought me as a 'house warming present'. I get out of the bathroom and bump into Khalil. He is in nothing but his boxers only and looks really cute after he just woke up but is very grumpy. "Watch where you going, Rina!" "Good Morning to you too Khalil," I say with a smile and leave him, I am not going to let him ruin my day by his negativit
The party is going great and the atmosphere is fun, but what has me worried is the tension I'm sensing between Ian and Zoé. What the hell is going on here that I don't know. Thuso also seems to be looking at him with pure disgust but when she looks at me, it's a look of sympathy. I get up from Ian's lap to go grab some water, I feel no need to drink alcohol because I feel shit is about to blow up and I need to be sober for it. "Where are you going, baby?" Ian asked me while holding my wrist. "Why does it matter to you!?" Zoé asked angrily, woah! "I wasn't talking to you Zoé, mind your business!" Ian spat out and Zoé got up to stand in front of Ian. "You know what Ian, you're full of shit! I can't believe you outta all people would do that, how could you be so cruel and selfish. Screw you!" "Okay...what is going on..." but none of them answer me "Zoé? Ian? Why y'all f
"We were just giving Riley what she asked for," K answers with a smirk. "Well you gave me more and I'm glad. That was truly heavy." "Whatever man. I'm outta this game!" Ian answers and gets up but not before looking at me as if to say something but he doesn't. Everyone leaves, Khalil and I stay behind. "So, do you think it worked?" He asks, breaking the silence. "What?" I am confused because I'm still recovering from what just happened. And as if he knows his smirk just grows bigger "I'm that good huh?" it wasn't a question. More of a declaration that I laughed and punched his arm."Shut up!" He gets up, then helps me up. We part ways once we get into the kitchen. I sit on top of the marble counter lost in my thoughts which is when I smell some alcohol fanning my face. I look at the source and see Ian pissed off. Why is he? "So tell me how long has i
So it's been two weeks since Ian left for New York and it's been really hard walking around as if I'm okay when I'm not. Well, Zoé and Thuso have been there for me but it's not enough and Khalil has been behaving although he has his days of just wanting to piss me off. Nothing new there though. Well, the semester is about to end which means it's time for me to go home, super excited about being around family, happy energies will help me heal right? Well, I do hope so because a girl is hurt! Got heartbroken the same way by two different guys. Somebody should really help me choose boyfriends because I suck at it! We are all in my apartment and by all I mean Zoé and Thuso and we are just chilling. Talking about what we'll be doing during the holidays, oh and I probably forgot to mention Zoé and Thuso are living together now...and they're the most beautiful couple I've ever seen. I pray for eternal love in their relationshi
Sunday morning and I feel exhausted from the restless night I had, I couldn't sleep. I kept on thinking about what I saw and what he said, argh how could he affect me so much? It's so annoying! I'm lying here awake whilst he snores up the whole apartment. He is so loud! "K! Keep it down man!" I shouted from my room and his response was only to snore much louder. I got up from my bed and banged on his door which ended up opening. He was sprawled out on his bed like a starfish only in his boxers. He looked so yummy just laying there and for a moment I felt like...and his snores disrupted my train of thoughts reminding me that I'm annoyed. I stomp over to his bed and pick up a pillow that was on the floor and hit him with it. He wakes up in shock and looks at me weirdly. "What the hell Rin..." He stops his sentence as he looks at me hungrily. Why would he..? Ohhh shit! I'm only in my shirt and panties. Okay Rina you can do
When we got to the mall we decided to eat first. All we seemed to do was eat but yeah we decided to eat seafood and to say it was weird to eat raw fish is an understatement.Y'all have to understand, I'm a black person and we don't normally do raw meat unless you grew up in an elite group.It wasn't so bad to eat that kind of food, it's definitely not something you fall in love with at first taste or sight. But it seemed as if Khalil enjoyed watching my face scrunch up in disgust whenever I ate. He kept on laughing and even took a video of me. He even imitated me, jackass!After eating we went to the cinema where we spent another thirty minutes fighting about which movie to watch. He wanted to watch some romantic movie but I wasn't for it. I wanted to watch Bad Boys For Life, I mean how many years have we been waiting for that one!?As we finally came to an agreement, the person at the till seemed amused w
You think I'm crazy, I am.I love you like I love Cray Cray I do. I love you like I like to get high.I doI sang out loudly with SZA on my speaker. I swear when she writes her songs it's as if she has me in mind. But the song I love the most in the 'Comethru' album is 'Bed', everything she says there is exactly how I feel.So dark yet sexy and she is sexy. I was so into singing and dancing along with SZA that I didn't see K standing by my doorway watching me amused.I turned around screaming and all he did was chuckle. "What the hell you creep?!" I yelled at him trying to calm my too fast-beating heart down."Well, I was coming in here to tell you to keep the noise down but then I saw you dancing I thought I might as well enjoy the show. Have to say Foxie, you sure do got moves.""Cause I'm me, I'm me revenge is my thing.
Day 1It's only been one day. One day! And I'm ready to run away. Here I was thinking I would be on vacation with my family. I imagined sweet paradise and peace full of laughs and happy tears, but noooooo. This family can't just let me enjoy a bit of rest!I got here yesterday after 16:00pm and went to sleep right away, I was too tired and not really hungry because I'm still not used to flights. They make me anxious and grumpy and extra tired. To say they were very happy to see me would be an understatement, they literally jumped on me and now I've got a limping leg.It's 11:00 am and they woke me up at 06:00 am. I thought I only had to do that when I was going to school not when I have to visit my family. Makes me extra Frumpy. All they wanted was breakfast as if they couldn't do it themselves. Lazy People!As I'm still complaining my mom walks into the kitchen with a grin on a fac
