Kari

42.

"Space?!" Rya yelled over the facetime call we were currently having, turns out Bryson ended up taking them to Cuba

"Girl, I need to think" I shook my head slightly stressed "First it was Faven then my cousin, like they came out of nowhere"

"I guess but that is the exact opposite of what you do in a relationship"

"Why, I don't have anything to say to him and I rather not be around him" I shrugged

I did miss him though

"Cause that is what relationship are all about having those unwanted, uncomfortable conversations"

"Even if you think you don't need to" Rya finished I sighed "I'm good Rya, seriously" I spoke with slight attitude wanting to drop the topic Rya nodded

"Well besides that drama, guess what" Rya began smiling I gasped "Y'all fucked!"

"Kari! No stop saying that!" Rya dropped her smile rolling her eyes causing me to laugh, she lifted her left hand in the camera smiling again I gasped

"He didn't!"

"He did!"

I squealed jumping around my room like a twelve year old girl "O my— let me see it again!" Rya showed it again "That rock is huge sis"

"Right! He did his big one"

"What was the proposal like?" I asked sitting back down on my bed "As soon as I walked into our airbnb the house was decorated, then we went to the balcony mind you we by the beach"

"Tell me why there was candles on the beach saying marry me" I gasped "I turned around to see Bryson on one knee, I was an emotional wreck that's all I can say" Rya chuckled causing me to laugh

"Did he at least record, I would have loved to be at my bestfriend's proposal" I immediately got sad but knowing Rya this is how she wanted it, she was really big on a private proposal

"Yes just for you" She grinned "See this is why I love him!" I pointed into the camera "Girl you did not like him at first" Rya brought up the first time I met Bryson

"I was in a I hate all men era give me a break" I waved her off "Mhm" she hummed my phone buzzed I looked up at the notification

Babe🫶🏾: Open the door

I frowned "Let me call you back Ry"

"Okay" I hung up getting up from my bed leaving my room to the front door I looked in the peep hole seeing Kareem at the door holding flowers I sighed stepping back opening the door

"Kareem" I sighed he ignored me walking in I rolled my eyes closing the door and turning around to face him he looked me up and down taking in my appearance

It hasn't even been 12 hours

"These fa you" He handed me the flowers "Thank you" He nodded sitting on the couch "Kareem I said space that means no contact" I sassed setting the flowers on my coffee table

"Go put them flowers in the vase" He ignored me "Kareem!" I rose my voice he looked at me his eyebrow rose "I'm not yo son shorty"

"Then stop ignoring me like you are" I placed a hand on my hip "Space Kareem, space"

"I can't do this space shit" He shook his head "It's not about you" I frowned at him "You right it's about us"

"What the fuck is space finna do for us?" he pointed between us I crossed my arms at my chest "Shit is childish Bk"

"No it's not! You call everything childish" I scoffed picking up my flowers going into the kitchen Kareem quickly followed me

"Then explain to me what space means"
