Snakes' pov

I woke up with a banging head, my hand instinctively went to hold my throbbing head, fuck! I probably shouldn't have drank that much last night. I placed my feet on the rug as I sat straight on the bed's edges. My bare chest on display, I took the aspirin, gulped it down with water. Lily! Where would I be without her? Just as that thought came I felt hands on my back, I didn't have to look to know it was the bimbo I fucked yesterday.

Me: Get dress, get your money and get out!
I said as she started nibbling on my ear lobe.
Mia or Mel started to run her hands on my chest from behind. I sighed and grabbed her hands, I tugged at her hands making her to land in front of me, in a kneeling position as I looked down at her.
Me: Listen Mila I don't like repeating myself.
I said as I held tighter on her wrist, careful not to bruise her but to make her feel some pain as a warning. I'm not her boyfriend!
She whimpered but nodded with eyes filled with tears.

Mesa: It's Bellamy!
Me: Leave!
I let go of her wrist. She got up and took her things before bolting to the door and slamming it in the process, that's the eighth time this week, if they continue to slam my door I will kill someone.
Me: Don't fucken slam my door Amelia!
I shouted, hoping she heard me, but I doubt it she ran out like Usian Bolt in this shit.
My phone rang, I checked the ID caller, Lilly.
Me: It's too early for lectures Lillian.
Lilly: Good you're awake, you must feel better now I assume?
Me: Yes Lillian, thanks for the pills, you the best you know that?
Lilly: I know, and stop butt licking me it doesn't suit you, okay now get up and head to the office you have a conference meeting at nine thirty.

I chuckled and nodded, forgetting she can't see me.
Me: Yes mam.
Lilly: Oh and also, call me Lillian once more and I'll shot you between your legs.
Me: Sure you would Lillian
I cut the call as soon as I said that. She hates it when I call her that, she says it's not her name and it makes her seem old.
I retrieved a paper on my dresser, the same white A4 I've accustomed myself with for the past three years. I ran my fingers along the letters as I sat back, resting my back on the headboard.

How I do I start a goodbye letter? Dear? It doesn't feel right. Anyway, if you reading this, it means I'm dead!

Ha! Got ya, I'm sorry that wasn't funny at all, but you probably know I'm not dead. Man, this is the most difficult thing I've had to do in my life, well except for dealing with you for all those months, that was a nut job.
Forgive me, forgive me for leaving without waiting for you to wake up. I couldn't stay any longer, it was unbearable for me to watch you lay there in that hospital bed unmoving, bruised up and on the verge of death. But it was more difficult to stay and wait knowing I couldn't forgive you for what you did.

I tried to find reasons to let it go, trust me I found many of those, you saved me, you loved me and you protected me. Those are just a quarter of many reasons why I should just forgive and forget but my stubborn mind won't have it. You idiot, you just had to drive drunk in the rain. You do stupid things sometimes. The doctors say the chances of you waking up are slim, what do they know anyways, stupid doctors! I know you love being dramatic, you'll wake up sooner than they can say they have degrees.

I'm sorry I won't be there when you do wake up, but you'll have people who love you, just know that I have always loved you, and I always will, I just hope this isn't the end for us, maybe one day I'll forget everything and I will come back. But if I can't, you'll know somehow and I want you to find someone who can love you and give you a family, by the way no one could love you as much as I do, hypocritical I know, but it's true I couldn't just leave right, I did think of doing a video though but I look like shit right now so a letter will to suffice. Bye Mndeni.

Your love
Monalisa.

I folded the letter and placed it on the nightstand. I don't know how many times I have read that thing, the first time I read it I got angry, how could she just write us away that easily, didn't our relationship mean something to her? But I couldn't find myself to be angry with her, I cried, laughed whenever I used to read it. But now I just read and smile.
Me: I'm still waiting for you, I'm waiting for the day you forget everything and come back to me my love.
I said as I clutched at the letter, just then my phone dinged indicating a new message. I took it and saw a text from Lilly.

Lilly: Get up and get to the office.
Me: I'm the boss I do whatever i want Lillian!

I put the phone on the nightstand and stood up, making my way to the bathroom. Another day with an empty heart and useless life.
