"So you wasn't gonna tell a nigga" Kareem looked at me with anger in his eyes my mouth gaped open

"I- I was, Apparently I did" I shook my head "When did I tell you?" My face turned into a frown "Yo birthday dinner when you were off your ass" Kareem scoffed leaning against a walk since my couch was now gone

"Uh yeah, I'm moving to Washington" I looked at Kareem he kept his eyes on me waiting for me to continue "I got a job offer out there to work for secret service"

"Congratulations" Kareem mumbled I smiled small looking down "I'm sorry" I said softly Kareem chuckled "You sorry that I had to hear from your drunk persona rather your sober persona"

I sighed "Kareem" I walked towards him he stood up straight "Its coo Bk" Kareem spoke nonchalantly making me frown

"Kareem" I whined he shook his head "I wish you nothing but blessings out there" He walked around me I felt my eyes water

"Kareem" I said again turning around watching him walk to the front door "Ma, I can already see it" He turned around facing me "You gon keep talkin to that nigga, then catch feelings"

"I've been through this shit before Bk, a nigga starts giving you attention and you like cause y'all crave that attention then you catch feelings next thing you know you entertainin the nigga" Kareem went on I immediately thought about Faven cause that's exactly how she ended up cheating on Kareem

"You gon be in one state and imma be in another" Kareem looked at me "Where that nigga live at?"

"Washington" I spoke low he scoffed "Yeah I'm coo Kari, I'm not gonna do this back n fourth shit"

"If we meant to be I trust God that we will have each other again one day, but right now I have to let you go"

"Your attention and mind is not on the same page as mine" Kareem went on I felt a tear fall down my face "I love you girl I really do but I can't do this, I can't sit here and put in the work when you not doing the same"

"I am putting the work in Kareem!" I semi yelled he shook his head "You wanna fuck that nigga huh?"

"Kareem stop cursing at me!" I yelled now tears pouring down my face "You wanna have sex with that nigga?!" He took a step towards me I looked up at him not answering him he chuckled

"Do you Bk" He walked to the front door again opening it stopping in the door frame "Blessings and Prosperity Kari, Imma keep you in my prayers" With that he left leaving me in my apartment alone now sad and lonely

I was feeling guilty, extremely guilt

i was working on us, on me so I could be better for us but the timing of everything just wasn't right
