🖤8🖤

The next morning I was woken up with the scent of bacon and ham.

I waltz into the kitchen greeted by Seth. "Good morning, princess." He says to me putting the freshly cooked bacon on a plate.

"Good morning my sweet." I greeted him and gave a good morning kiss.

"Sleep well?" He asked.

"I'm going to be honest, I didn't."

"Why?" He asked.

"Well.."

"Don't worry, you don't have to tell me.."

"I'm gonna tell you. Last night with Aryia kept me awake for the most part. Seeing him again was like reliving bad memories, in-fact..the only bad memory I have was with him.."

"Am I allowed to know?" He asked.

"Not yet..I'm not ready. Just respect that..please?"

"Of course, you know I will." He smiles as he divides up the bacon between the two of us, and gives me the fried ham slices.

"Thank you, it smells amazing by the way."

"I tried for you." He gets up out of his seat, and head to the Keurig. He pulls out two mugs and pours the coffee handing one cup to me the other being for himself.

*knock knock knock*

I could see Seth's face and mood drop just like that, and I guarantee I know why.

I get up from my seat and walk to the front door, letting Aryia in.

"Good morning!" Aryia greeted. "I'm sorry I came over early but I'm busy with a lot of stuff for the rest of the day and I wouldn't have made time for our talk so...here I am." He smiles.

"Good morning, Aryia. What's behind your back?" I asked trying to peep.

"Actually, they are flowers for you." He says smiling and holding out the bouquet of flowers.

"Oh, I think they are lovely. But I'm not for sure how my boyfriend will feel about other men bringing me gifts." I said handing the flowers back to Aryia. "I simply can't take them."

"Can't take what?" Seth asked peering his head out of the kitchen.

"Aryia says he brought me flowers but I told him I cannot accept them because I don't think you would feel too good about that."

"You're right, I wouldn't." Seth says now coming into the room with Aryia and I. "Yea so how long is this man gonna be here anyway? I got a video with Josh that I have to leave for in an hour."

"Not too long I promise, let's sit in the kitchen." I suggested.

Aryia sits closest to our kitchen window, Seth in his original seat and me in front of my untouched coffee.

"Your coffees black..why? Didn't he put the creamer in there for you? I bet he didn't put the two ice cubes in there either."

"I'm sorry what?" Seth asked.

"Guys maybe let's no-"

"You heard me. As her boyfriend shouldn't you be the one buying her flowers? Shouldn't you know how she likes her coffee prepared and then do it for her? Shouldn't yo-"

"Aryia that's enough. Seth does more than enough for me. He's bought me flowers plenty of times. The only reason I don't have any now is because I told him I didn't want a big deal for our anniversary. As far as the coffee goes, he only just sat the coffee in front of me and then you knocked on the door." I defended my boyfriend.

"Oh come on, you're kidding me."

"She's not. I'm not either. If you can't respect our relationship or our lifestyle then you have to get out." Seth clenched his teeth.

"Seth, my love you can calm down.." I say rubbing Seth's arm.

"I'm just letting him know his place.  Now if you'll excuse me I have to leave. Call if you need me, see you soon i love you." Seth says planting a kiss to my lips and leaving out the front door.
