Fireworks

Chapter 2

D'Mario's POV

Man, I really like Angela. I know I've only known her since tonight, but she really gives off a good vibe. She's beautiful, smart, and independent. She's defiantly different from all these other females I've dated. She's defiantly a keeper. I then fell asleep and dreamed about her.

Angela's POV

"H-hello?"

"Hey baby I've missed you."

"W-who is th-this?"

"Oh cmon baby you know who this is."

"Howell leave me alone p-pl-please."

"Never that. Why do you sound like you're crying? What's wrong?"

"Oh don't you play stupid nigga. You know what you did to me! Leave me alone! I don't need you ruining my life anymore."

"I'm coming over. We need to talk in person."

"NO! Don't you dare."

"See you in a few"

"N-"

He ended the call. I was pissed to the max. How dare he call me calling me 'baby' and stuff. But I knew when he came over, I would have to answer the door or he would be knocking all night. I had to show him that he was not above me.

About 30 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I answered it and there was Howell

"What do you want? It's 3 o'clock in the morning I'm tired."

"I want you back with me. Can I come in."

"Come on in... Howell, me and you are never going to happen again. I love you but you broke my heart into a million pieces. I thought I could trust you but I guess not. And that trust will never be rebuilt. Ugh, you're such a liar!"

"Baby, I'm sorry. I promise I won't make that mistake again."

"No, I don't believe you."

"C'mon let me make it up to you."

"How?"

"Like this."

He began to kiss my lips passionately. I couldn't stop him because the feelings I have for him are still there. The kiss began to deepen and he began to trail down my neck. Before it could go any further I stopped him.

"No, we can't do this."

"Why not? I've missed you."

"I know but we just can't do this. Goodbye Howell."

"Ba-"

"Just go."

The tears began to fall.

"I'm not giving up on us Angela. Please don't cry."

He began to kiss me again and then we went upstairs to my bedroom. When I noticed where we were I stopped him again.

"Howell, I really don't want to do this. I hope you respect my wishes."

"Okay baby. But at least let me hold you. I've missed you so much."

I thought about it for a few moments.

"Well... okay."

I knew he wanted me but I just couldn't right now. We got into bed and he held me. See, Howell was ten years older than me and a successful lawyer. I thought he was the one until I caught him cheating. I forgave him but then he did it again, and again, and again, until finally enough was enough. A few times he tried to touch my butt, which was a little uncomfortable, but I allowed him to. Soon I fell asleep. I dreamed about D'Mario.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, I woke up. Howell wasn't beside me. I checked my phone and saw that D'Mario texted me good morning. I texted him good morning too then did my hygiene. I went downstairs and saw Howell cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning Howell. How did you sleep?"

"Good because I was next to you. But check this out, who is D'Mario?"

"He's a friend of mine. Why do you ask?"

"I heard you moaning and saying his name in your sleep."

I looked down and twiddled my thumbs.

"Oh..."

"It's fine baby. I just don't want another man taking my place. You know I will always love and care about you, even if we never get back together."

"I know. I lowkey feel embarrassed though hehe."

"Nothing to be embarrassed about. I wish I was the guy in the dream though instead of him."

"Yeahh..."

"Well, breakfast is ready."

"Oh okay. Thank you."

I was really starting to forgive Howell. He made me feel special. But first I need to see what D'Mario is all about. I have to at least give him a chance. And maybe, just maybe, I'll give Howell a chance too.
