Control

Chapter 5

Josh Pov

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." I yell when she closes the door. I call and make sure my guys are outside her house. Then I call Chris.

"What's up?" he says picking up the phone. I put him on the speaker. and pull out of Kat driveway

"I'm coming over. I should be there in like 10 minutes." I say.

"Ok... What's going on you sound upset? "He asks

"I will explain when I get there." I say hanging up. that shit just fucked me up and I know it did because when I got to Chris house missed his driveway and had to circle the block. I park and let myself in his house. I go to his refrigerator and grab a beer. he walks out the room.

"What the hell is wrong with you. look upset and you drinking a beer this shit serious?" he says. grabbing a beer.

"Katrina Brown is what wrong she then fucked me up in my head." I say taking a slug of my beer.

" Damn she pissed you off you said her full name. are yall fighting?" he asks.

"No, we ain't fighting. I ask her to give me until we finish this shit up with Davon give me a week give me until Friday. she asked for fucking space and that shit don't sit well with me at all." I say.

"You don't want to give her space it just a couple of days. it keeps her safe until we wrap this damn deal up. what the problem?" he says.

" That shit almost got you punched. I know your right but at the same time I don't know how to be without her hell I've never had to be without she always been there from every sense I can remember. she said she needs to find herself and keep her emotion in check for longer than an hour or two because I'm too up and down. what the fuck is that even supposed to mean." I say

"In all fairness she not wrong. You fucked her senseless. enough where she needs to go to the hospital. yeah, I heard and then you mistreat. That is trauma for her. guess what she also must learn how to live without you. She needs to learn what her emotion can be without you pushing her to pick you and you not picking her. Think of this as a vacation. Give her the space. you can text her every day and check on her but don't show up. Don't let yourself in her house. Don't bring her lunch. Don't drop her off at work. let her be for a little by herself. it could be healthy for both of yall." he says.

" I'll give her this week but after this week if she ever asks for something like this, I'm make sure she can't walk for a week." I say. I finish my beer and put in the trash.

"That is a bit of aggressive. it works." he says. Since it about seven I get up to head home. dapping Chris up.

" Aye you are heading over to the club later to open it with Zoe, right?." I say standing at the door. he nods. I close his door behind me before and hoping in my car. I pull up mine and Kat's text

Me: I'm not okay with what you asked for however I see it not my choice. I will give you what you want you have until Friday night. However, know that imma check in on you every day and I need you to always respond honestly. Also, imma order food for you since you are supposed to be resting don't be stubborn just take it.

Kat: Ok. I will just know I do love you.

Me: I know I love you too.

End of conversation

I head home and shower, fix me some food. After I eat, I roll me a blunt and smoke.

After I finish my blunt, I watch TV. For a bit and then go to sleep

Katrina POV

After the text I got from Josh. I take a bath to come my muscles before laying down and turning on Netflix to continue watching All American season 3. I know this is hard for him but it hard for me and I need him to understand I need this.

I got to sleep. I wake up the next day at 9. I sit up and take an Ibuprofen about 15 minutes there a knock on my door I open to see one of Josh boys. He hands me a Waffle House Bag. I take it to the counter and pull out a waffle with a hash brown bowl and it had a bottle of coffee from Starbucks.

I smile. At least Josh knows me and my order front and back. I take my food and go to my living room pulling out my blanket and covering while turning on the TV. I watch a little tv while I eat. Then I get on the phone and call Zoe.

"Hello." She says.

"Hey, do you want to come over and hang out I'm not really allowed to leave the house for the rest of the weekend." I say. She laughs and say she on the way. About 20 minutes later she pulls up with her overnight bag and like 10 shopping bags full of snacks. I let her in and help her put the stuff before sitting down.

"So how was yesterday, what did Ry say?" She asks.

"Josh fucked me so hard my uterus shifted and not my cervix is swollen too." She winces.

"Yeah. I'm taking Ibuprofen." I say.

"Where Josh at shouldn't he be here no offense because I love you." She asks

"I asked Josh for space. I need it my emotions have been all over the place this week because of him. I see that maybe a little space for the both of us will go a long way." I say.

"And he agreed?" She says.

"I mean not at first. But I guess he spoke with Chris and then he agreed but only if I agree to let him order food for me for the next few days and to let him check in on me every day." I say.

"Understandable. And you're, ok?" She asks.

"I need to learn to be myself without him. He's all I know; he wants what best but at the moment what he thinks is best isn't working for me." I say. She nods in understanding.

"Chris and I kissed last night." She says. I look at her.

"And we are surprised I seen this coming for a long time. I know me and Josh aren't exactly together, but we never haven't said we didn't have feelings for each other." I say.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." She say.

"What now?" I ask

"I don't know I haven't seen him since last night. And he been avoiding me too. When I went for inventory, he wasn't there're he normally is." She says.

"He will come around." I say.

We spend the rest of the day watching Movies and snacking. Zoe text Josh and said she was with me, and I was fine not to check in. Around 5 he orders us some pizza hut. He got us 2 large pizzas with wings with cinnamon sticks. We lay down and go to sleep. The rest of my weekend fly around just the same. On Monday Ali opens the salon and I just chill.
