I got out of bed. Antonio wasn't there. I went and showered then did my makeup and got dressed. I ended up wearing this,

Then put my hair in a side braid. I went downstairs. Antonio was sitting at the table alone.
Kendra: Where's- Antonio: They went to my moms. Kendra: what? Antonio: Yeah. I thought we could give them a couple days Kendra: Oh ok.
Then my phone was ringing. It was Hermann.
Kendra: It's Hermann Antonio: Go ahead
I answered.
Kendra: Hey what's up Hermann? Hermann: are you busy today? Kendra: I don't think so. Hermann: Antonio working? Kendra: He leaves in about ten minutes. Is everything ok? Hermann: We had a medical emergency with a family member this morning. Would you please go to Molly's for the shipment coming in then set up we have a party today. Kendra: Ok yeah I can. Hermann: Thanks. I'll stop by later. Kendra: Sounds good.
He hung up.
Antonio: I have to go to work. Kendra: Ok. Bye. Antonio: Bye
He kissed me.
Antonio: Love you. Kendra: love you.
He left. I went upstairs in Evas room. I opened the hidden door in her closet and pulled out my guitar. I took it downstairs and wiped the dust off then washed the table. I grabbed my bag and phone and guitar then went out to the suv. I put the stuff in then I got in. I drove to the gas station and grabbed a sandwich and then a large iced caramel coffee. I paid and went back out to the suv. Then went to Molly's. I ate then went inside. I cleaned and got the shipment in and put it all away. Then went and sat down on a stool behind the bar. I pulled my guitar out and tuned it with the tuning app I had on my phone. Then I played simple songs. After about 45 minutes no one had showed up. Then I played this song,
A slow clap.
Hermann: That was beautiful. Otis: She's been teaching me guitar. Gabby: I like it. Hermann: We have a karaoke night tonight. Want to- Kendra: Nope no thanks I'm good. Otis: Aw come on they'll love you. Kendra: No. No No Otis: Your gonna think about it.
I went to my suv. I got in and drove home. I sat down on the couch and watched a show. Soon 5 rolled around. I got up and went to make dinner. I put dinner on the table. I texted Antonio. He didn't answer. He walked in.
We ate. Then I went and sat down on the couch. He sat down. I leaned against him. He wrapped his arm around me.
Antonio: Are you ok? Baby what's wrong? Kendra: I'm ok. I'm fine.
I I took a deep breath. Then tears rushed to my eyes. I got up. He grabbed my waist.
Antonio: Woah woah woah hey
I pulled myself away from him and went to the bathroom.
Antonio: Kendra
I shut the door and locked it. He tried the door.
Antonio: Kendra hun unlock the door.
I started to cry.
Antonio: Hey what's wrong baby talk to me let me in.
I didn't say anything. I sat there.
Antonio: Kendra.
I sat there a few minutes listening to him trying to get me to opening the door. Finally the crying stopped.
Antonio: Kendra let me in.
I washed my face and fixed my mascara. I opened the door and he fell into the bathroom because he was sitting against the door. I looked at him our eyes met. I stepped away and he grabbed my ankle causing me to fall.
Antonio: Oh shit I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that
He picked me up and carried me to the couch. We sat there. Soon we fell asleep.
