Kyra
I watched the cars beside me, the people in them as we passed them. Some were alone, some with company, some talking on cell phones, even some eating. I was hell bent on keeping my attention anywhere but the left side of the car.
Cameron drove like a bat out of hell and I knew it would grow to bother me. Everything about him would grow to bother me at the moment.
"I trust you.." I mumbled never diverting my attention from what it was set on. I was sure Cam was looking at me and traffic had slowed due to rush hour in Miami. Everyone was fleeing from the city to their homes but everyone can't all at once so here we were. Stuck in traffic.
I'm far from stupid and I knew ams took this interstate on purpose so we could have an open window to talk. I was going to give him what he wanted; but on my terms. "That's not my problem."
I finally looked over at him and his eyes were glued on me. I chewed my bottom lip and sighed. "I kinda predicted that you would get tired of me but I never expected it this soon. I know you like me; I know you care about my feelings but Cameron you will never change..."
"What am I supposed to be evolving into Kyra? Everything's two steps forward ten back with you. I'm not perfect, you know that; you've been exposed to it. I'm not hiding shit from you. Stop looking for something you ain't gone get from me and accept me or this shit never gone work."
"I've accepted you Cameron! Flaws and all! I've fucking accepted you but what the fuck am I supposed to do next time you see a pretty face at a bar and I'm not there! Am I supposed check your cell phone?! Invite these bitches over for dinner on Sunday?!" I scoffed.
"You care about my feelings, but you only have regard for them after you've hurt them!"
"I'm not about to sit here and argue with you about this. You stay taking shit to heart! I'm not fucking Leah! I'm not even fucking you so why are you so bent out of shape for over a text? Who the fuck did I go to sleep next to last night?"
I quickly wiped the tear from under my eye and crossed my arms around my chest. "Who did you get a text from last night?"
He sighed and rested his arm against the window frame of the car leaning his head against his palm. "What do you want from me?"
"Is this really something you want?" He glanced over at me and sighed. He reached out his hand and wiped the side of my cheek gently. "Yeah, cause if I didn't, I wouldn't be fighting you right now. You know me well enough."
I nodded and wrapped my hand around his palm. "Cameron, please don't break my heart." I allowed my head to fall from his hands and I leaned back into my seat.
"Kyra, I'm not - "
I pointed towards the wind shield. "Traffic is moving."
Cameron
I closed the door and made my way to the living room. Kyra was sleep in my bedroom and I wasn't tired. I was surprised she didn't leave after what happened earlier.
I'm trying to quit fucking up but it's all I ever seem to do. Kyra makes me want to change. I've just never had a girl like her. One that will leave at the drop of a dime and never look back once. There aren't many strikes with her.
"Hello?"
"Hey..." Her soft voice rang out.
"Hey, Leah." I said turning the TV on. I propped my feet up on the couch and got comfortable, my back resting against a throw pillow.
"Cam, we should hang out tonight. Bree went somewhere with a guy friend and I'm sure she won't be back till morning." She said with a cute little giggle. "The whole house would be ours for the night."
