Coming Home

Chapter 75

Day Three cont..

Omniscient

Dr. Johnson was looking at the way Keira and Rashad was talking to each other, and she was just disgusted. 

Shaking her head, Dr. Johnson put her clipboard down and she looked at the both of them.  Feeling her gaze, the two of them stopped arguing and they looked at Dr. Johnson. 

"Dr. Johnson, I'm sorry for the way we're acting, but I swear-"

"The way that you two talk to each other is absolutely disgusting.  ShaKeira, you belittle him.  I can tell that one of the problems in the relationship is the way that you make him feel less of a man.   You can't do that Keira.  That's not healthy." Dr. Johnson stated. 

"I don't be meaning to though." Keira mumbled. 

"Yes you do Keira," Rashad said.  "Keira, I swear ever since you came back from North Carolina, it's been hell since. I honestly don't even know why I'm still trying."

"Wait a minute now-"

"No Dr. Johnson," Keira said. "I don't know why you're still trying Rashad."

"ShaKeira, you got some nerve. Ain't you the one who pregnant by my 1st cousin? You constantly bash, bash, and bash me about me cheating ONE time when you was out here fucking and sucking to get pregnant." Rashad said.

"You're unbelievable." Keira said. "I'm leaving."

"Run like you always do." Rashad said. Keira scoffed, and walked out of Dr. Johnson's office.

Rashad let out a huge sigh, and he looked at Dr. Johnson who was speechless. Without saying a word, Rashad got up and he walked out of the office as well.

Going back to the hotel, he saw August and Monique in the hallway arguing. Monique smacked him, and August looked at her and went back to the hotel room. Monique walked the opposite way and that's where she saw Rashad.

"Y'all good?" Rashad asked.

"Yeah," Monique lied. "He just in his feelings right now."

"What happened?" Rashad asked.

"...he wants me to make up with Mariah, but I don't want too." Monique shrugged.

"Now you know that's petty," Rashad laughed. "At the end of the day, you a grown ass woman. BUT Monique that is your mama and y'all been through to much to let something like this get in the way of y'all relationship."

"Like I told August, whenever I'm ready to make up with her, then I will but until then, I'm good." Monique said, and she walked off.

Rashad sighed, and he proceeded to walk to his and Keira's hotel room. Once he opened the door, he saw Keira on the couch sleeping. He shut the door, and grabbed a cover and put it on her so she wouldn't get cold.

Going into the room, he laid down and grabbed his blunt and his lighter off the dresser. He sat up, and lit up the blunt and started to smoke it.

Rashad thought about his family in Atlanta. He thought about his uncle that was getting out of jail soon. He didn't know how to feel. Apart of him wanted to be happy but another part of him didn't want to be happy. He was just in mixed emotions. And with things going downhill with him and Keira, he didn't know what to do.

Rashad started smoking when he was 16 years old. Smoking to Rashad meant that all his problems went away. He didn't really vent to people because all people do is judge. So instead of venting, he smoked. Every inhale and exhale was his way of venting.
