Divine's Time

25. brewing storm.

Time

I ran my fingers over the promise ring Divine gifted me last night with a warm smile. The pink colored gem from Pandora gleamed from the sunlight sitting perfectly on my smooth brown ring finger. Since we've made things official I have been in pure bliss.

Every day with him has been an adventure for both of us. This is my first real relationship. And this is his first relationship, since his brother's passing. It's new for both of us, but we are both so happy. As scary as it was, we both took a chance on each other regardless of the doubts of other people and even our own.

I rolled over in his bed at the sound of my alarm going off for me to get ready for class. In, between my first class I came over for a nap, now it was time for me to get back to it. I have been working on balancing school, work, and time with Divine, the best I could. But I can honestly, say leaving him is the hardest thing to do.

I stretched my limbs before sliding my jeans back on and stepping into my New Balance sneakers. I went into his bathroom and smoothed my 24-inch raw Indian bundles out with a paddle brush. After brushing my teeth I grabbed my backpack and walked into the living room.

"How'd you sleep?" Divine asked, licking his brown blunt.

"Thanks to you, great." I joked biting my lip. I walked over to him to plant a kiss on his wet lips.

"I was gone ask if you wanted to come to this party with me next weekend." He states.

My eyes wandered off thinking if I had time for that, "I don't know if I'm going to have time. I have a lot to do this month."

He nodded, "Well, if you can't make it. Is it okay if I just go with my homeboys?" He asked.

I chuckled, "I'm not your mom, Divine. You don't have to ask for my permission, but thank you for asking." I told him.

"I'm just trying to do this relationship thing, right this time." He admitted. "I fucked up a lot in my past."

"When you say fucked up, do you mean-''

"Cheating, yes." He finished. "I'm going to be different for you, Time. Like I promised last night, I'm not going to do anything to risk what we got, so you don't have to worry about shit."

I nodded, his cheating in his past relationships came to mind now and then. I'll be lying if I said I never worried about it, But, all I can do is take his word. And it was very assuring to hear that he acknowledged his mistakes and is actively trying not to make them again.

"Well, I trust you." I responded, I glanced at my Apple watch "I have to get going though." I kissed him again before exiting his apartment speed speed-walking to my car.

Once in the car, I drove a little faster than usual to the campus. As I entered the elevator I looked at my watch stressing out because I couldn't afford to be late again. I sped walked to the classroom door and was greeted with a sign on the door.

"Class Cancelled" I frowned and took my phone out to check my email. I cursed myself out as I read the email sent by my professor yesterday that he was canceling class, "I could've been sleeping." I grunted.

As I stomped away, my stomach burned at the sight of Omar walking up the hallway looking into his phone. I knew he went to FAMU what was he doing here on the Florida State campus?

As I walked further down the hall we got closer he hadn't noticed me he was laughing and typing away at his phone.

"Hey." I awkwardly blurted out snapping his attention away from his phone. He looked up and instantly put his phone away in his back jeans pocket.
