I flung the empty pint of strawberry sorbet to the floor, the plastic container cracking against the rug, I literally felt like a prisoner. Almost a week has passed, and I still felt just as bad as I did in the beginning. I skipped out on work because I just couldn't bring myself to face Mateo; not without crying at least.
Sadness and a feeling of despair clung to me like a second skin, and as I stared at my lock screen—a funny moment of Mateo and I at Busters Burgers fooling around in the arcade.
It felt like my world was shattering beneath me. I missed Mateo so much, I wanted to run away to him, have him hold me in his arms, have him tell me that he loved me, and that regardless of how my brother felt; we'd stay together.
Mustering up enough strength to stand to my feet, I quietly packed my bag gathering everything I needed so that I wouldn't have to come back for a while. I then slipped my keys into my pocket and put on my shoes.
I quickly grabbed a hoodie from my closet and stepped out of my bedroom shutting the door behind me. As I heard the shower running. I hurried out. Tossing my bag into the backseat of my car before getting in, I wanted to see him.. No, I needed to see him.
I drove out of the neighborhood,praying to myself that he was home. Even though we spoke on the phone days ago, it wasn't the same as seeing him in person. I knew me doing this would piss my brother off even more, but I honestly didn't care.
He couldn't keep me away from him. —— Omniscient.
Pulling up to Mateo's. Cheyenne pouted slightly seeing that his car wasn't in its usual parking spot, she sat there for a moment contemplating on if she should stay or leave and try again tomorrow. As she reached her hand toward the ignition to bring the engine to life, she looked in her mirror to see him pulling up beside her.
Their eyes locked on one another's, lingering as tension thickened, Cheyenne's heart skipping a beat, her stomach lurching as she saw how bruised his eye was.
Pulling her bottom lip between her teeth she quickly pulls her key from the ignition and gets out, she briskly saunters toward the driver side as he shut it and leaned his back against the door.
"Chey.. what are you-" he says, barely above a whisper, only to be cut off by her lips crashing into his, her hands pressed against his cheeks. He shut his eyes, wrapping his arms around her as the kiss began to deepen.
"I'm sorry," She whispered as she pulled away as he laid his head in the crook of her neck, taking in her scent as she rubbed his back soothingly. "I had to come see you." She sniffled wrapping her arms around him as she began to cry, laying her head against his chest as her shoulders hunched up and down.
