Koria : core-ree-uh
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I woke up in Tahj's guest bedroom, confused as to how I even got here. A yawn and stretch came together and then I got up. Donte blew my phone up, and I had a few messages from Ty.He was pleading with me for whatever reason. I tend to just delete his messages, he and Harlo have been laying low. I didn't care as long as Harlo didn't bother me shit was cool.
From previous times of being here I had a toothbrush and stuff already so I did my hygiene and entered the living room.
To my surprise, Tahj and some chick were cuddled up on the couch. Luckily I'd gotten dressed because I was getting ready to head out anyways and handle my own shit at home.
"Morning!" She nicely stood up, the blanket falling and her very showing, fully developed stomach made my eyes widened. "I'm Becca" she introduced herself.
"Hi, Koria" I smiled doing the same while trying to get an answer from Tahj with my eyes but he was being very avoidant.
"Yeah Tahj told me a lot about you"
Funny, because I've never heard a thing. I only smiled not really wanting to engage in small talk and I'm almost positive she wouldn't want to either if she knew what happened last night.
"It was nice to meet you, but I gotta go. Tahj walk me out please? I need to talk to you about the Josiah situation" I said whatever excuse came to mind.
He got up still avoiding my eyes and we walked outside to my car. "Wow" I broke the silence.
"She just showed up" he tried to plead.
"Regardless... I feel like I should've known you had a baby on the way... no?" I asked. "Y'all look happy" I trailed off.
I'll admit that my feelings were hurt. Just from the fact that he said nothing about her or the child. I just always felt like we were close enough to tell each other shit.
"I-"
"What?" I asked because for the first time he had nothing to say. "I wouldn't have fucked you Tahj"
"I don't regret it" he said quickly looking over at me.
"You should" I snapped back. "I just don't get why you didn't say anything to me, I don't know my feelings are hurt though Tahj"
"Koria" he spoke my name softly.
"I mean it's fine because I didn't want anything with you or anything but I just wish I knew. That's all" I sucked it up and tried to get into my car.
"Nah we need to talk some more" he sucked his teeth.
"You're not even talking, and talk about what exactly?" I asked. "Nothing happened, no love lost. We still cool. Whats left unsaid is spoken trust me"
