Playing The Game

Playing with hearts part 2

Nathaniel's POV

"Are we really about to do this?" I asked. I had a strong feeling non of us should be doing what we were about to do.

"Oh come on. Stop being a punk we are already here and Keith and Collin is waiting for us inside let's go." We walked into the club and can I just say there were plenty of attractive women in here tonight. I wasn't exactly focused on them though. I was just here to hang out and chill with my cousin and his friend that just decided to move here. I followed Marcel towards a booth where the guys were sitting. Marcel and I sat across from Collin and Keith. We talked for a while and I learned a lot about Marcel's friend. He actually thinking about marring his girl. Me on the other am not so sure about that, I mean I am with Cree and her alone but I don't like the idea of being officially tied down.

After talking we ended up taking plenty of shots until all of us were drunk. We all soon ended up on the dance floor. Each of us with a girl except Marcel. Probably because he was whipped on Sasha. I wasn't playing too much mind to the girl who was on me until she turned around and looked at me. I had too admit she was beautiful, but she had this look on her face that I couldn't seem to figure out. Suddenly her arms were wrapped around my shoulders and before I could realize what was happening her lips were on mine. What surprised me most was that I didn't pull away and I kissed her back...

After about a couple of moments Marcel whisper something under his breath causing me to break away from the kiss and direct my attention to him and realized his attention was focused upon something else. I turned in the direction he was facing to come eye to eye with Cree. She had tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Seeing her face had made me realize what really just happen. I pushed the girl that was still hanging on to me away and tried to make my over to Cree. She saw that I was coming and turned around and ran out of the club with Sasha following. By the time I made it out the car was speeding past me as I tried to catch up to it. "CAREENA" I had screamed her name multiple times. I ran back into the club to find Marcel. As I walked in I saw Jade and some other girl... That happened to look exactly like Cree that I had to do a double take. I would have thought that was her if it wasn't for the long length of her hair. Letting her go I found Marcel standing alone in the same place as before. Not bothering to ask where everyone went I got straight to the point. "We need to go. Now." After getting in the driver's seat Marcel passed me his keys and I took off. The car ride was just quiet with me in my thoughts.

Just trying to process what just happened. How could I do that. Pulling into the driveway, I got out the car and ran into the already open door. I looked around for her but couldn't find her. So I ran upstairs and was about to walk into our bedroom when the door opened and Cree walked out with tears falling from her face. She was also carrying a suitcase with her. She looked up to meet my eyes and her breath hitched.

"Move." Was the first word spoken between us. "Where are you going?" I couldn't help but ask. I mean it was a kiss it's not I fucked that girl. She ignored my question pushing past me and walked down the stairs. I grabbed her arm turning her to face back towards me.

"Don't you think that you're going a little too far with this it was just a kiss."

"Too far? I was just trying to go out and enjoy my birthday with my friends, in seeing you with Jessica tore me completely apart. It makes me wonder can I even trust you to just go hang out with your friends alone. Just think about it what would have happened if you didn't see me there. Would you have kept kissing her? Would it have lead to something else?"

I stood there without saying a word. Questions rolling around in the back of my head. "Okay first who is Jessica? Second, of course it wouldn't have lead into anything, it was a meaningless kiss."

" Jessica was my friend back in highschool until she stole this guy that I was dating. I've actually told you about her before." This Jessica girl is starting to ring a bell. If I knew this was gonna happen I wouldn't have left this damn house. She pushed past me and began walking. I wasn't going to let her go that easily. I grabbed her arm and turned her to face me. "Please Cree, don't leave me. I'm sorry. I did mean for this to happen baby you have to believe me." I looked down into her eyes as mine were filled with guilt.

She looked back at me thoughtfully and she took in a deep breath. "Give me sometime. A couple of days, okay?" I nodded knowing a couple days is the least I could give her. Also knowing her she can't live without me for a long time, as i can't live without over a certain period of time. I let go of her arm and she walked out the house and closed the door behind her. It was strange seeing her walk away like that.

The night ended with me pacing around the house with liqueur in my thoughts. I eventually passed out on the couch with the last thought on my mind being my baby was gone.

Cree's POV *That Same Night

I closed the door behind me and got into my car heading to Sasha's I called ahead of time so she could prepare for my staying of the next week or so. It was about a 20 minute ride before I arrived. I grabbed my bags that I had packed, and rung the door bell. She moved aside to let me enter. I walked through the familiar beautiful two story house, and went straight to my room. I stayed over very often so I technically have my own room. I unpacked and settled in before preparing a hot shower. I relaxed in the shower and let the steaming water run through my hair and over my face and body as I cried. I didn't want to cry but I couldn't stop myself. I mean maybe I was over reacting, it was just a stupid kiss. I know it didn't mean anything to him but his lips were connected with the lips of that bitch. She had the nerve kiss my property, my man; and all I did was RUN?! I should've ripped her throat out and beat her ass. Who does she think she is? I was mad at him when it was her I mean if someone kisses you, you'd kiss them back. Right? Well I wouldn't but in sure most people would. I just need time away from him and to think.

After the longer shower I rested in bed, said a prayer and slept a peaceful sleep hoping that everything will turn out alright.
