It had been three days since I last talked to and heard of Ken; his selfish antics towards me made me distance myself away from him, and thanks to Stefan's company, I wasn't half of feeling the void of loneliness.

Even though I had gone through 72 long and angonizing hours, the other half of me was feeling the urge to call Ken and make up with him. Yeah, even though he was the one who stood up one me, I still wanted tosort things out. I had to understand that Ken's job was time-consuming, and my complaints weren't going to make anything better. Ken was a successful man, and not all African American men had a real stable job as well as his, so my choice of getting mad was completely out of the question.

But, something still continued to irk me in the back of my head.

Even though my anger towards Ken was uncalled for, I still couldn't get my head out of the fact that Ken stayed the night with Toni. No, it might've not been at his house because I knew he  wasn't that disrespectful, but knowing that a beautiful temp was alone with a taken man sent chilling sparks down my spine. Ken didn't know how much I loved him, and to think that he might've did something with her would immediately crush me to my soul.

"What're you thinking about?"

I transitioned out of my inner mind, and looked up at Stefan who was sitting with his legs stretched out comfortably on the table. I hadn't realized I was in a zone until I saw that was staring hard at the floor underneath me. 

"Nothing important," I said, holding my curled legs tightly.

He gave me a smug look, "Mmhm, stop lying girl, and tell me what's up. You like you've been watching a ghost ever since the movie started."

I licked my lips, and looked up at the movie, Love Don't Cost A Thing running smoothly through each scene. It was now in the evening time, and the bright lights coming from the T.V. made it easy for Stefan to notice my silent  presense. 

I sighed, "Stefan, I've been thinking," I continued, then paused to look at Stefan staring solidly through my eyes.

"Thinking about what?" he asked, urging me to continue. He picked up the remote from the handle beside him before turning down the volume to hear me clearly.

"I've been thinking about apologizing to Ken," I blurted, running my head roughly through my newly permed hair. 

Stefan immediately grew stiff after those words came out of my mouth. I didn't know what he was thinking about, but the grim expression he had on his face told me enough. 

Several minutes later came before he said anything, causing my wanting for him to reply grow thin. His silence was killing me, and I was dying to know what he thought, but as time soon passed, my patience was already on E. "Stefan, say something," I urged.
