Hold My Hand

27

*GEO*

When Vanessa started crying, I was overwhelmed with guilt. She looked so beautiful with her hair in a messy bun and her tight crop top and jeans, the pain in her eyes didn't fit...and it was my fault.

"Baby please don't cry." I begged.

"I can't help it! Juwany you KNOW how insecure I am. I trusted you. If seeing Taylor didn't mean anything then how come you didn't just tell me?"

"I didn't wanna make you suspicious."

"No Geo! The truth doesn't make you suspicious. Lying makes you suspicious."

She called me Geo. :(

"Vanessa...you didn't tell me you bumped into her either."

"Because I didn't wanna seem jealous or insecure! But fvck it! I am insecure Geo. And you know that. And having you keep things from me doesn't help anything!"

A moment ago we were both sitting on her bed, but now I am sitting and Vanessa is pacing the room angrily.

"Please Vanessa. I promise there is nothing going on between her and I and I have no interest in her."

She sat down on her computer chair and took deep breaths, tears still rolling down her face. I went and rested on my knees in front of her.

"I'm sorry Vanessa. I'm sorry ok? I didn't mean to make you feel like you're in the dark about things. I don't want you to feel insecure. You are perfect to me ok? And no other girl, not even Beyoncé could take you from me."

Vanessa laughed. "You damn liar."

"Ok...MAYBE Beyoncé."

She hit my arm and I pretended it hurt.

"What I'm saying is, I'm in this relationship 100%. I don't want anyone else Vanessa. And I hope you don't want anyone else either.

She wiped her eyes and looked at me. "I don't."

"Good," I grabbed her hands and we walked back to the bed and sat down again. "because I can't fight, but I'll get my behind whooped for you."

She laughed again and I opened my arms for a hug. She allowed me to have one.

"Juwany." She said quietly.

"Yes?"

"Can I have a kiss?"

"Yes. And do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because you're my girl."

She smiled and I touched her face as I leaned in. Our lips moved together slowly and when she pulled away my lips tingled.

"Do you forgive me?" I asked.

"Yes, I guess. No more secrets ok?"

"Ok."
