giovanni (gee-oh-von-ee)
seven months later...
i swallowed down a bite of grilled sirloin. i looked up from my plate to notice my boyfriend rhys staring at me lovingly.
"what?" i smiled, i felt my cheeks heat up.
"you're so beautiful." rhys' accent tugged at his words warmly. i loved the way he spoke, especially in his music.
i smiled in response. even though we're celebrating our three month anniversary right now... i felt like i had known him for my entire life.
rhys and i finished up our lunch at aqua shard before we made our way to the car. the sun was just hitting him so perfectly that i couldn't help but take a picture.

rhys and i just rode through west london until it became dark. we pulled up to our flat and just sat in the empty parking garage. it had gotten dark so quickly. it was only 9 but it looked like 1 am.
smooth r&b rolled through the car, the likes of summer walker, aaliyah, erykah badu. rhys placed his hand on my thigh inching higher and higher.
"digga, boy you betta' stop." i didn't want him to stop.
my phone vibrated against my leg. i didn't want to stop what me and rhys had going on but i just felt compelled to look at my phone. that's when i saw it.

"ummm," i paused, "digga baby i got sum' important to handle do you mind if we come back to this later?" i admitted solemnly.
he sighed and shook his head yes. rhys hopped out the car and walked to the elevator. i climbed in the front seat and started up the car. i know exactly where oakley is right now.
i pulled up to oakley's flat and pressed his buzzer to be let up. he immediately buzzed me in and before i could even fully get off the elevator he was at his door waiting for me.
"hey." i stated.
"yo," he began, " lemme jus get straight to point, yeah. i know we haven't had a conversation in a minute. but i'm here now and i'm a changed person. you should understand that i've grown."
"grown how?" i interjected.
a silence fell on the room. i stood in his foyer uncomfortably. uncomfortable in my heels. uncomfortable with the way oakley looked at me. uncomfortable with the situation.
"why didn't you tell me to get my shit together, i would've changed if i knew about how much i hurt you..." he admitted.
"you can't make someone do something that they don't want to do. i couldn't make you love me if you didn't want to love me."
"i understand that. i know that i fucked up. but it's a new day, innit? you know i deserve another chance. "
"don't say that shit to me. i know you're the same person you were when we dated."
oakley hummed in response. he stared at me darkly. i couldn't read him anymore and i didn't know what he expected from me.
"let me make you fall in love again."
"no."
