" oh that must be the pizza, i'm hungry as fuck."ayanna mumbled as she grabbed the cash from the counter and walked to the door.
" hi- whatchu doing selling pizza ?" she asked jerking her head back seeing keyontae standing at the door. It was the middle of the afternoon on a monday and he was standing there looking like a lost child.
" selling pizza ? who da hell seeing pizza?" he jerked his head back at her assumption.
" hm hmm" the pizza driver cleared his throat making his presence known and yanna handed him the money grabbing the pizza box about to close the door on key.
" wait! can we talk ?" he asked stopping the door with his foot. Yanna shut her eyes contemplating if she wanted to let him in or not.
She instantly thought of they're child and how she would be impacted if she shut the door on him. So, stepping away from the door she let him inside.
" preciate you." he said and stood in the middle of the living room while she sat at the counter stool eating her pizza.
" go ahead" she said then proceeded to stuff her face with pizza.
" first I wanna start by saying I love you and I'm sorry." he paused watching her facial expression which didn't change.
" I know I keep saying that but I'm really forreal. My life done flipped without you in it and shit ain't been the same. I've changed baby, Not only for you but for my kids, my momma and my g-ma. I want y'all to finally be proud of me and I want to finally do something right."
" i know this is long overdue but I appreciate you. These past couple of hours and weeks made me realized nobody has ever been there for me like you have. Ain't nobody ever been in my corner so close and dependable you are and I'm forever grateful baby, I swear." He said walking up to her grabbing her hands and placing a soft kiss upon both of them.
" why now after all this time ?" she asked grabbing trying to snatch her hands but he wasn't letting up.
" within the time we broke up , I been in and out of jail , hooked on drugs and shot. Every single time I thought of you and I promise I ain't doing that shit again. I learned my lesson bae." he said.
" keyonate it's not just about what your saying out your mouth, It's about how your going to show that. You can't keep saying you appreciate and love me but i can't feel it. You say you sorry and you love me but do you really ? because you got a fucked up way of showing it Rashard!" she said and occasionally poked his chest with some words.
" i really do baby I promise, that's why i'm
here actually. I leave tonight to go to Rehab, im starting all over. for me...." he said ayanna couldn't help but see the sincerity in his eyes.Which she's never seen before with him.
" one last day with you would make my day. I don't care If we watch a movie, I watch you work or we go to the park. I just want you baby."
" Nah I don't think that's a good idea key." ayanna shook her head sniffling a little.
" oh" he mumbled a little disappointed with his head down.
she watched as he dropped her hands and walked away towards the door ready to leave.
" I got a better Idea" she said grabbing his hand and leading him to the sofa then sitting next to him.
" talk to me."
