Sariyah Meet Alcoholism

Sariyah

"Daniel!" I pushed through the crowd of people to get to Daniel who was at the bar talking to one of his friends.

He just looked at me and rolled his eyes. Okay? "Digg. Come on I want to dance with you" I said pulling his hands.
"Go dance with Trevor"

"Excuse me? Diggy come on"

"No! Get off me!" He yanked his hand away from me.

"Go ask Trevor to dance with you. After all you guys did fuck"

"Diggy!" He hovered over me and I could smell a strong sense of alcohol on him. I covered my nose because of the strong stench.
"How much have you been drinking Daniel!?"

"That's nonnneee of youuur business" He said kissing my nose and blew in my face. Disgusting.

"Diggy! Come on! I'm taking you home. You are belligerently drunk!"

"Girl chill..." He swept his arm around my shoulders. I turned him around and started to walk to the entrance with him.

"Daniel you aren't driving!" I stood on my tippy toes holding the car keys away from my body.

"Daniel get on the other side."
He grabbed my waist and kissed my neck. "Come on girl" Diggy squeezed my ass. "Daniel stop!" I pushed him off and he walked to the passenger said and got in.

Daniel and I stumbled in the door. I tried to keep Daniel from falling. I walked him over to the couch and laid him down. He held me down with him.

"Daniel let go of me"

"Nooo... Stay with me"

"Diggy..."

"Please?" He said with pleading eyes. I laid down right next to him putting my arm over his chest. Diggy started to close his eyes and fall asleep. I rubbed his chest to sooth him and before I knew it Diggy got up throwing me off the couch and threw up on the floor.

"Alright come on"

Puke doesn't faze me anymore. When you have a child who has a disease were every once in a while she throws up nonstop, throw up is normal thing in my household. We walked to my room and he sat down on my bed. "Just take your clothes off and get in the shower. I'll get you clothes to sleep in and make you some coffee" He just nodded his head and went into the bathroom. Immediately I went to go clean up the throw up. I then made him some coffee and put it on my night stand.

I started to go through Diggy's suitcase to find something for him to sleep in. I took out a black tee and black nike basketball shorts for him to the wear. With all that stuff two red circular things fell out. I picked them up and read them. "1Year Alcohol Free! : New Jersey Rehabilitation Center"

Diggy is an alcoholic? That explains his drinking tonight. But why didn't he tell me? Why didn't I tell him I slept with Trevor?
I put them back in his suit case. I heard the shower cut off so I went back to the kitchen to go get my coffee while he changed.

A few minutes later I came back in a Diggy was almost asleep. I got into bed next to him and he shifted and wrapped his arms around me. I held him and rubbed his back as he drifted to sleep. I didn't yell at him for not telling me a drinking problem or for the way he acted at the club. He didn't need that. All he needed was for me to be there for him right now.

When I woke up I have stripped my condo of anything with alcohol, including Diggy's stuff. If he's going on this no alcohol journey, then I am too. Although, I don't drink.

Diggy

I woke up and my head was pounding. I low key started to freak out because Sariyah wasn't next to me but I heard foot steps approaching her bed room door.

"Hey I figured you be up" She came in with a warm towel and a brown smoothie in her hand. She put the towel on my head and the smoothie on the night stand.

"This is a recipe I found that gets rid of hangovers"
I pulled her by her waist and laid her down so I could burry my head in her neck. I'm being a big baby today. It's kind of like when you get sick and all you want is your mom.

"Why didn't you tell me about your drinking problem?"

She played in my hair and asked casually. I really didn't want to give her an answer to that...

"Why didn't you tell me you slept with Trevor?

"It was before we started dating. When you didn't talk to me for almost a year because of Ron. Me and Ron weren't completely dating and Trevor and I were both hurting and it just kind of happened" She moved me off of her and sat on the bed indian style and just looked at me.

I got up and paced back and forth.

"I didn't tell you because ... I-I was scared"

"Scared?"

"I-I just love you so much a-and I didn't want you to think that I was one of those guys you used to date. That I was just another nigga who came in and acted like they loved you and did you wrong. I wanted to be everything that those dudes weren't and I thought by hiding it was okay, because when I'm with you I don't feel the need to drink. I guess you can say you're the solution to my problem. I realized that ... That I am just another one of those guys that did you wrong and I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to leave me"

She just stared at me then put her head down. She got up off the bed and walked over to me and grabbed my face and made me look down at her.

"I love you... But I am upset that you didn't tell me... But just because you have a problem doesn't mean I'm going to love you any less. Diggy I have my doubts too... Although they may seem little like... If I cut my hair will Diggy still love me... So I understand. But Diggy, now that I know. I want you to try again. I want you to actually go to your AR classes, because your brother told me this morning you don't go to them. You can do this Digg... I believe in you ..."

"I can't..."

"Yes you can"

"I've been trying for 4 years Riy!"

"You just gotta keep trying then!"

"I can't do it without you..."

She smiled and kissed me slowly and passionately.

"Alright. We'll do this together"

"Can you fly down in 2 weeks? I'm actually going to a therapist and I would like you to be there for my first session" I grabbed a hold of her waist.

"I would love to" She wrapped her arms around my neck.

"I love you Daniel... We can get through this okay?"

"With you by my side, no doubt in my mind that I won't get through this" I'm not usually one to be corny but I'm serious. I can't do this without Sariyah.

I kissed her. She kissed back. This soon turned into a make-out session. She backed up and sat on the bed. I laid her down crawling on we her, not breaking or kiss.

Sariyah's arms released from my neck and moved to the hem of my sweats.

Our make out sessions started to get more aggressive and intimate. Could this be? Me and Riy have had penalty of oral sex but never actual sex.

I know Riy told me she wanted to take things slow. So I stopped.

"Keep going..." She whispered.
