Adana:Things Have To Change

Happy Anniversary

Adana..

Today was me and Montrel's anniversary and I was so excited because we were finally on the right track, and this week has really been good. He's been coming home everynight,and being the person that he was a year ago, before everything changed. Even though I'm optimistic about our relationship this has happened before and lasted for a few weeks before turning back into his mean and cruel self.

I woke up and Trel wasn't there , I went downstairs and he wasn't there either,Happy Anniversary. I thought to myself. I wondered where he was and why he wasn't here with me, because I had been dropping hints all week just so he could remember, and here  I am on a Saturday morning by myself on our anniversary.

I shook it off and tried to remain positive. Maybe he went to get breakfast and surprise me. I started to think more and more positive. I went upstairs and brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I was about to go downstairs and do some laundry when I heard my phone ring. I grabbed my iPhone 6s plus,  the screen read Bestfrann😍💅🏽❤️  I tapped the answer button. "Hey,Ti" I said with a smile. "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!" Her,Amesha,and Jade yelled into the phone. I laughed, while holding the phone away from my hear and putting it on speaker."Thank You!" I said back. Mesha and Jade were our other best friends,we've all been friends since kindergarten.

"So, what are you an Trel doing tonight?" My faced saddened. "Um,I don't really know, he's not even here." There was a long silence."Girl he's probably out making dinner plans or something". I sighed, "yeah, maybe".

....

I looked at the clock on my phone and it read 8:09. I've been trying to call Trel all day. At this point, I didn't care if he forgot, he could have called and told me and we could have just did a movie,  or a last minute dinner.

I even dressed up just in case he did have something planned. I was wearing a read tight fitted dress that came just above my knees and black open toed heels. My hair had big Baby doll curls. I did my make up, earlier I went and got my nails and feet done.

I called Trel about 3 more times, and there was still no answer.I texted Tiana maybe she knew where Machai was,which was probably where Trel was.

Have you seen Trel?

No.

Where is Machai?

He's out of town, he leave today.

Okay,thanks

He's probably got something planned,don't worry.

I didn't reply back,I sat down on the sofa and waited.

......

I looked at the clock and it read 11:31. I was defeated, I went upstairs and stripped out of my clothes. I got in the shower and put on some shorts and a T-shirt. I can't believe he really forgot our anniversary.

I was sitting in the bed, when I heard the front door open and heavy foot steps come up the stairs. I knew it was him and I was ready to cuss his ass out, I'm tired of holding my tongue.

He stepped into the room and walked over to the bed and tried to kiss me. I moved my head and he got and irritated look on his face. "The fuck wrong witchu"?

"What's today"? I stood up and put my arms across my chest. He looked at me like I was stupid,then looked at his phone."it's January 22" he said in a duh tone."So that date doesn't mean anything to you?" I said. "It's not your birthday, so no".

"Today is our anniversary Montrel"! I yelled. He rubbed his hand down his face and blew out a breath of frustration. " Look, I'm sorry I got caught up at the club." He looked with what would have looked like sincere and apologetic eyes of you didn't know any better. But I always knew when he was lying and really wasn't sorry.

Him and Machai did own a club, they went legit a year ago. Trel and Machai were the biggest drug dealers in the ATL, partly because they had a lot of connects especially in Florida, where they were from.

"It's like, every time we take 2 steps forward, we take 4 steps back." I looked at him to try to see some emotion. There wasn't any, I just sighed and waited for his response.

"You making a big deal outta something that ain't that serious,I mean why make a big deal outta somebody being in your life for a certain amount of years , that's what you suppose to do"? He said really serious

I couldn't do anything but look at him like he had five heads."You celebrate your life together and how far you have come with each other it's not just about celebrating another person it's about celebrating your Union"! I yelled with tears coming down my face."You always making a-" I cut him off. " I waited all day for you, I kept thinking well maybe he's gonna surprise me,you fail me every time and I'm so tired of it." Tears were coming out faster than I would have like. I went over to the nightstand beside our bed and grabbed a black box with a grey ribbon around it, and tossed it at him.
"Happy Anniversary ".

I walked out of the room and wiped my tears, I didn't realize how mad and hurt I was. I was going to sleep in one of the guest bedrooms, I really did not want to look at him right now.

.....

In their bedroom Montrel picked up the black box that Adana threw at him and opened it. It was the Rolex that he had looked at online, it was limited edition they only made 100. Adana had gotten it engraved on the back.

I love you and always will
Love, Adana 1-22-12

He sat down on the edge of the bed and put his head in hands."Damn" was all that he could say.
