"Listen, Love, we need to end things."
Listening to my boyfriend
I feel the bond between us shatter into fragments that tear my heart apart.
The familiar heaviness covers my chest, making it hard to breathe
I fight the panic and sadness as I try t...
Eric kisses me as he moves my hand and places it on his chest. He wipes away the remaining tears. "Love, I want you but not while your heart is somewhere or with someone else. "
With that, he just holds me tight and rocks me. After a few minutes, my face is wet again, and I hug him as if my life depends on it. That is how he rocks me to sleep.
The following day I wake up, and it is Saturday. I find a note on Eric's pillow that says he went out to play ball, and I can chill if I want to. He will be back by noon.
I contemplate if I should stay but decide to leave. I call Camila and ask her to pick me up. She says she'll be here in 30 minutes. I want to repay his kindness. I jump up and run to the kitchen.
I look in the refrigerator and see that Eric has eggs and sausage. I quickly make him French toast, scrambled eggs, and sausage, plate it nicely, cover it with tin foil, and leave it on the living room table in front of the game so he will see it when he comes in. I also leave a note.
Eric,
Thank you for taking care of me and my heart last night.
Call me sometime.
Enjoy your breakfast.
Love.
Eric's POV
My phone starts ringing at 8:00 am, I can hardly open my eyes. I was up all night rocking Love so she could sleep. I got up to use the bathroom and noticed that she was crying in her sleep. She looked so sad I just held her and started rocking her.
Then she woke up, and we almost had a moment, but I could tell she wasn't really into it because she wanted to be with me. I stopped her. I finally got her to sleep, and now the phone is blowing up.
"Speak," I say as I answer the phone.
It's my boy Troy " Yo, Kid, is you Ballin today? What's really good?" Troy is from New York and I swear every time he calls me, I gotta decipher what he is trying to say or listen for context clues, which is what I get next.
Then he told me to meet him at the gym. I look down at Love and tell him I will be over in a few. Man she is so cute, I don't know what she is going through but I would never hurt her. How could anyone... I kiss her on the lips and get out of bed. Once I am ready to head out, I leave her a note. I hope she is here when I get back.
We played a couple of games. After about two hours, I head home. As I open my door, it smells like a bakery. I call for Love, but I don't get a response. I walk to my living room and see a plate covered with tin foil and a note on top. Wow she made me breakfast I think as I sit down to eat with a smile.
