Kendrick's Angel in the Rough

Chapter 27

The next morning I saw Kendrick packing his bags to go back on tour. I sat on a couch next to him. He looked up at me and shook his head.

"I'm sorry about yesterday." I said low.

"You hurt me by saying that you had no idea how much I loved you." Kendrick replied. We just stayed quiet looking at each other. Then I just hugged him tight. He hugged me back.

"I love you Angel." Kendrick said rubbing my face.

"Love you too!" I replied.

"How much time do you have before you go to the airport?" I said flirting. Kendrick smiled and grabbed my hand and led me to the room. He laid me down and rubbed my head.

20 minutes later

Kendrick and I walked out the room and saw Erin watching t.v with Kenya. Usually I would snatch Kenya away from her but I didn't feel that way anymore. Erin gave me a light smile. Kendrick kissed me on the cheek and Kenya and waved bye as he left to go to the airport. I watched him all the way until the truck full of boys left completely. I sat in the living room by Erin.

"We should be acting like sisters and not enemies. We don't have mom anymore all we have is each other." Erin said to me.

" you're right. Lets start over Erin. It won't be the same bug it's a start." I replied looking back at Erin smiling. She sat Kenya on the couch and gave me a hug. It was a start for us. I asked Erin if she could watch Kenya while I go over to the gym to thank Mandela for attending my moms funeral.

I arrived at the gym. I went to the front desk and asked for him. A lady showed me where he was at. He was in his room where he teaches his classes at listening to music.

"Hey" I said. He looked up and smiled. He gave me a tight hug.

"Hey how you holding up?" He asked rubbing my shoulder. I started getting teary eyed.

"Um Im ok and I just want to say thanks for attending. It meant a lot!" I replied looking into his beautiful hazel like eyes.

"No problem. Um you want to go out for lunch maybe today...right now?" Mandela asked me. I hesitated but I agreed it was just lunch.

"Sure." I replied. He flashed a bright smile. It made me melt. We left the gym and went over to smash burger a burger joint. We sat down after we got our food.

"You ever been here before?" Mandela asked looking into my eyes. I started blushing.

"Kendrick has brought me here in the past with his friends." I said looking away.

"So how is y'all relationship if you don't mind me asking gorgeous?" Mandela said smiling. I could clearly see he was trying to flirt. I can't flirt back I'm a married female.

"It's fine. I love him. But he is on tour now. It's a long distance relationship for now." I said taking a sip of my soda.

"Long distance relationships never work out you know...that's why there is always a friend." Mandela said touching my face. I started getting uncomfortable.

"It's time for my sister to get to work. I have to go back home since she is watching my daughter." I said changing the subject as I stood up. Mandela gave a worried look as he stood up too.

"I will make sure you get there safe." Mandela said grabbing my hand tightly. I arrived home and saw Erin ready for work. Yes she still works at the strip club...go figure! She waved hi to Mandela and she left. I saw Kenya was taking a nap. I swear all the girl does is sleep. Mandela started to get up to leave. I opened the door for him to go but he closed it. He reached his arms out for a hug. I hugged him and then he reached for my face and be tried to kiss me. I pulled back.

"You feel an attraction just like I do Angel. So stop acting!" Mandela said sternly.

"I feel no attraction okay. I'm madly in love with my husband! Look you need to leave right now. Right now!" I yelled. He just gave me a funny look and he sighed and walked outside the house. I slammed the door on him. I saw I had a text from Kendrick.

Hubby: Made it to Toronto beautiful!

Me: That's great hope you have fun on the tour. ;)<3

Hubby: <3

I missed Kendrick and I thought about what Mandela said. What if this long distance thing doesn't work? What would I do? Then thoughts of my mom kicked in my brain. I started crying. Lately I have been so emotional. What's up with me?
