Once I get home I throw my purse down on the couch with my phone on the kitchen counter just incase Nathaniel calls or even Brandon to apologise. Or just to talk to me. He never talks to me when he's mad at me, he just shuts me out and goes out with his friends. I put my hair up in a high ponytail to get my hair out of my face then go into my room to change my clothes. My pants turn into booty shorts, my black no show socks turn into high cat socks that Cade got me for my birthday and my shirt turns into a white V-neck. I took my contacts out and put on my glasses. Once I exit my room I go into the kitchen to get a bottle water and sit on the couch waiting for my best friend to come over.
I decide to go on tumblr on my phone since my laptop was in my room. Scrolling through tumblr I see different relationship posts. Some actually made sense to my situations and others didn't. I start to get mad again. I go on my contacts to call Brandon to call him off on his bullshit once more. But all of his bullshit. The giving me attitude, the not talking to me when he's mad. I am sick of it. I've told him before not to do this and he continued to do so. I'm tired of it. Right when I was going to press call I hear a knock on my door. It's probably Nathaniel. I close out of the contacts and attend to the door.
"Damn, you look adorably hot." Nathaniel smirks while looking down and up my body. Even when I'm mad, he could still get me to smile.
"I don't need your sarcasm Nat, Nat." I smile at him and take the food from his hands. "Follow me into my kingdom." I go into my room.
"You mean your room?" Nathaniel laughs. I plop on my bed sitting criss cross turning on the TV. "By the way, It wasn't sarcasm. You do look adorable by your glasses and hair and you look hot by your booty." He smirks. I blush and cover my legs with a blanket. He notices and laughs. "Don't worry, I'll stop looking. You have a boy already." He says and I roll my eyes.
"It seems like I have a girl instead." I whisper then close my mouth with my hand. "Do not repeat that to anyone!"
"My lips are sealed." Nathaniel sets his black duffel bag down on my desk and opens it up.
"He just - he's making me mad." I open the bag of chinese food and set down Nathaniels box and mine.
"Tell me why." He takes out his nike sweats with a black tank top. I begin to tell him everything Brandon does and what he has said. I tell him about today but get interrupted by Nat taking off his shirt. He tries to leave his shirt off for a long time. You could see the outline of his abs and muscle on his arms.
"Eyes up here, beautiful." Nathaniel points at his eyes with a smirk on his lips. I look away from his body and immediately start blushing. I cover my face with my hands.
"Oh man." I smile hard. "I'm sorry!" I hear Nathaniel laugh.
"Aye it's okay. I was looking at your booty." He laughs even harder than puts on his tank top. I blush harder. Okay we need to stop! This needs to stop! He sits down beside me and scooping his food on his fork, eating it whole. I take a look at my phone and see a message from Brandon. I am so mad at him that Ignore the message without reading it.
"Was that -?" Nathaniel starts but I interrupt him.
"Yes." I say silently. "I don't want to talk to him." We leave it like that and continue to watch Tv in the silence. After ten minutes there is a knock at the door. I look at Nathaniel.
"Who is that?" He asks.
"I don't know. I wasn't expecting anyone." I get up from my bed and get my phone to read Brandons message.
Brandon: I'm coming over. We need to talk
"It's brandon!"I almost drop my phone not knowing what to do.
"Okay. Go answer the door." Nathaniel says all calm. I look at him then nod.
"Nathaniel, please stay in here. Don't come out for any reason. If you hear yelling, anything. Just stay put okay?!" I start to freak out. He nods and I say in a whisper thanks. As I exit my bedroom, I make sure the door is closed and my phone in my hand. I take a deep breath before answering the door.
Standing before me is Brandon with flowers in his hand. Oh gosh, I know where this is going.
"Baby girl.. Cat..." he starts to come inside my apartment. I step aside to let him in and he does so. I close the door behind him leaning against it with my hands on my knees. He puts down the flowers on the coffee table and sits on the couch. He pats the seat next to him for me to sit down. But I say no. I take a glance at him. His eyes are raking my body as he bites his lip. I'm honestly disgusted.
"You have the audacity." I say in a whisper. "After giving me so much bullshit, you come in my apartment with flowers just to check me out?"
He looks at me like I'm crazy.
"Excuse me for looking at my girlfriend! You are my girlfriend aren't you?" He stands up. I look at him with disbelief.
"After all the bullshit you're putting me through, I don't know if I want to be." I say truthfully. I thank God for feeling numb. For feeling absolutely nothing towards this man standing before me. This boy. Brandon steps back as if I pushed him. He cannot say he didn't see this coming.
"What the hell are you saying? You want to break up with me Catherine? Huh? Is that what?!" He starts raising his voice at me but I don't flinch. I'm just so glad I don't feel any remorse. "I brought you flowers because I felt bad!" He moves closer to me. I let out an ironic laugh.
"That's the first nice thing you've done since we'd been together, Brandon!" I throw my hands up in the air being the dramatic me. I'm taken off guard when he pins me against the door, forcing me to kiss him. I try my best to push him off but he doesn't budge. One of his hands got both of my hands above my head and the other one is on my thigh forcing my hips to collide with his torso.
"Tell me you love me." He whispers in my ear. "Tell me." His hand leads to my butt. I'm most uncomfortable.
"Let go of me Brandon! Seriously!" I manage to get my right arm out. I put my hand on his chest pushing him with all my might. He lets go of my other hand which allows me to push him even more.
"Get out! I'm done with your shit!" I yell not caring if Nathaniel is in the next room.
"You say nice things to me but thats not enough! You don't show it Brandon! You don't show that you care for me." I'm on the verge of tears but I refuse to let him see me so defeated. "You think bringing flowers is going to make everything okay?!"
"Catherine.." Brandon tries to speak but I don't let him.
"I have tried to weigh this out to see if it will get better but it just hasn't. It's gotten worse. And it sucks. It honestly sucks because of how much I cared for you. Now I'm done talking, I'm just done with you shit." I finally stop talking. I'm breathing heavily with my back against the wall. Brandon is standing in front of me speechless.
He finally moves after five minutes. He grabs the flowers and leaves my apartment. I close the door behind him, locking it. Sliding down to the floor I finally burst out crying. I cover my mouth so Nathaniel won't hear my sobbing..
