Hold My Hand

*VANESSA*

Juwany and I have been together for 3 months now, and they've honestly been the best months of my life. But when he texted me that we needed to talk, I had a feeling things were about to change.

"Hello gorgeous." He greeted me, when I opened the front door.

He gave me a kiss and then walked with me over to the couch. His hair was freshly cut and styled and he was wearing my favorite shirt of his; it's royal blue and looks great with his skin tone.

He smiled. "So I have some news."

"Ok..."

"POMS got a deal modeling for a new clothing line."

"What!?" I threw my arms around him. "Baby that's incredible!"

I gave him a kiss and pulled away, now he was frowning.

"Thank you. Uh...the only thing is, it is based out of New York."

"So? You're not like, moving there are you?" I laughed nervously.

"Oh no, no. But...we did get our schedules..."

"And?"

"I'll be in New York for weeks at a time sometimes."

"Oh." I nodded slowly. "Ok. That's so great." I faked a smiled.

"Really? You're not upset? You don't wanna break up?"

"Hell no! We can do this. Long distance relationships are cute."

They are, but I don't believe they last.

"Seriously?"

I nodded my head and smiled. "Seriously Juwany. I am so proud of you and the boys."

"Thanks babe."

"We have to celebrate! We should see if we can get the Goons to come here for a weekend."

"Actually. We leave for a week soon."

"When?"

"2 days."

I frowned "Oh."

"I know you were really excited about our Halloween costumes. I'm sorry."

"It's ok." I had to bite my lip to keep from crying. I know it's cheesy but we were gonna be a prince and princess; I made both of our costumes. It took me a few weeks.

"Don't worry about it. It's ok."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I am."
