Playing The Game

Playing the Game: Round 1-Beware

Careena's POV

"Get off of me you bastard!" I pushed his arms from around me and stood up. I turned and looked at is teary face. I wiped my tears from my eyes, for I'm done crying over his shit. We both stared at each other motionless. I was too scared to move for 2 reasons. 1. I didn't want to walk away and for us to be over. And 2. If I did walk away i don't know if he would come after me. The thing about that is, I'm not sure if I do or don't want him to come after me.

"Look-" He got up and started toward me. I stopped him by holding out my hand and shaking my head. "I don't need an explanation." I said not really wanting one. I know eventually i would though but not anytime soon. He looked a me with sad eyes that begged for a chance, that I just couldn't give him.

"What the the fuck do you think this is? Some kind of game?" It hurt how he can just do whatever he wants to without even thinking twice about how it effected me. "Well, guess what two can play at this game. I'm Done." With that I turned away and walked off.

"So that's it. Its Over." I didn't turn back to say anything, the goal that i have set at this moment is to not look back ever again.

The Next Month went by something like this:

SEX, PHONE CALLS, MORE SEX, MORE PHONE CALLS, EVEN MORE SEX AND MORE INTENSE PHONE CALLS.

Then a month turned into 5 and next thing I know I have to make a tough decision.

Nathan POV

~week one~

After what happened last week I haven't heard a peep from Cree. It killed me because every minute I would catch myself checking my phone for any calls or text. I know i wouldn't get one though and I'm not surprised. At least not after I saw this pic on Instagram of her and some guy. I was non stop blowing up her phone. No matter what I did to try and distract myself it would never work. I was sitting down on the porch. I've been out here so long that i ran to a all black. Just in my thoughts looking at the stars like they finna talk back. Looking at my phone like she finna call back. But last week, i feel like probably ended all that. Usually she would have sent a text in all caps, then another one trynna take it all back saying...

Fuck you

I miss you

I hate you so much

Girls only say i hate you to the guys that they love right? The highs, the lows, it comes, it goes. All I can do is try to fix it . I'm tired of waiting on her to call so I do, and of course its goes voice mail. " Hey, look I'm trying to fix things but you aren't helping, just pick up your phone. You say be real and I try but don't because you take anything and just make it everything. I've kept my phone on silent every since you've got a man, funny right? And I never cheated. Okay maybe once, twice. One time don't change everything that I feel for you."

I'm mostly worried about her, i just hope she okay. At this point I'd do anything to find out if she's ok. That's when an idea occurred in my head. I quickly grabbed my and called the only person i knew would answer.

"Hello?" Said a soft angelic voice.

"Hi Mrs. Jacobs." I said hoping I don't sound too desperate.

"Hi son. How are you??" She asked sounding a little concerned. I had a strong feeling she already knew what was going on.

"Ummm, I'm kind of going a little crazy i guess. I just need to know that she's okay."

"She's doing better son. Her friends wouldn't allow her to be miserable so they've been up and about almost all week. Look I'll tell her you called. Bye" She ended the call.

I did know what to think or understand what was really happening. Everything felt so dull and unreal. I felt empty without her here, I just wanna die already.

~Week two~

Friday

I couldn't stop thinking about her and the situation its all so stupid. I thought about the way things played out what exactly happened? Well I certainly drank too much. I guess you could say I had my own after party with some random hoes I'm so stupid. Then she called, I hit cancel? Shit I hit answer, Fuck I hate when that happens. My phone was in my pocket for the whole night, bet she heard bitches screaming till my phone died.

For the first time in a while my phone buzzed and I accually decided to look. And just my luck it was the one and only Careena herself texting me.

C: Why the fuck you still talk to my momma?

C: Wait why the fuck you running around with condoms because you know I've been on birth control. We don't use condoms. Hold up did you even use a condom?!

C: Why'd you make me get this tattoo? Man fuck this tattoo. You was the reason I wasn't single in college. What? all because I had you?? Nigga I don't even have you.

She was typing faster then I could answer. So I had to try something. Maybe its not the smartest choice but I picked up the phone and called her.

And to my surprise She answered.

No one spoke a word I was too scared to say something at first but I had a feeling if i didn't she would hang up on me. Then I'd right back to square one.

N: Hi Cre-

C: What do you want Nathaniel?

She sounded aggravated and tired. Yet, so sexy and beautiful. I missed her voice.

N: Listen to me please?

C: If I wasn't ready to listen yet, I wouldn't have picked up this phone.

Damn she's being a little sassy.

N: Okay well first, I only called mom-

C: My mother...

N: Your mom because I was worried about you. I need to make sure you were okay and I'm sorry if that was wrong of me to do.

C: Yeah, whatever.

N: And second, Babygirl yo-

C: Don't you dare call me that I'm not your babygirl.

N: I'm sorry. But you gotta understand I wasn't in my right mind at that time. I wasn't think about what I was doing then. And of course I used a condom I was that far out my mind. Your the only girl I trust to even come near my stuff with out a condom. And this tattoo is everything to me, I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and forget about this. Maybe you do too seeing as you answered my call.

I said hoping it would be true.

C: Nathan its gonna take hell of a lot more than an apology to forget this.

N: So its over.

C: That's not what I said but whatever.

She ended the call before I could stop her.
