"I still love you," Ricky says.
I almost choke on air when he said that. After all this time he still loves me. Question is do I still love him, after all he's done. I, I think I still love him.
"I-I love you too," I stutter.
A huge grin spreads across his face as he pulls me in for another kiss.
For the rest of the night we cuddled together watching movies until we fall asleep.
I wake up to feeling cold, I don't feel Ricky's body behind me anymore. I check my phone for the time. 4:34am.
I hear a voice in the kitchen. I listen closely.
"Yes babe, we'll be home in two days.. We're leaving today at like six in the evening, I don't know, I have to go.. bye," I hear Ricky's voice say.
Babe? Ricky walks back in, I close my eyes and I feel him climbing behind me against the couch.
I wait a few minutes for Ricky to fall asleep. I slowly stick my hand in his sweater pocket searching for his phone.
I feel a phone like shape and grab it.
He's stupid enough to not have a password.
I enter his phone and look at who he was talking to.
Jessica.
With a heart beside her name.
I scroll through their most recent text.
Jessica: Baby I miss you come home
Ricky: Don't worry I'll be home soon
Jessica: No I miss you, I'm needy without you ;)
Ricky: Oh well in that case stay needy, I'll fuck you right, when I'm back ;))
I wanna gag at their talk.
My blood boils. He said he loves me. He kissed me. He made me fall for him all over again.
Yet he's dating that whore.
I push Ricky away from me, in the midst of doing that I fall off the couch landing on my back.
I groan and stand up as Ricky rubs his eyes.
"Mmm what time is it?" He grumbles.
"Around 4 and I'm going through your phone to see who 'babe' is to see you're dating that whore again!" I shout.
I walk over to the light switch and turn the living room lights on, I turn around to see Ricky's face pale as fuck. Knowing he has been caught.
I go to their messages furiously.
"Let's see," I begin reading their messages again.
"Baby I miss you come home," I say in an annoyingly high pitched voice mocking Jessica. "Yada yada yada, Oh well in that case stay needy, I'll fuck you right, when I'm back, winky face," I scowl reading their messages.
"Why the fuck were you going through my phone?!" Ricky snaps, giving me a cold glare.
"I heard you talking to someone and I was curious who babe was!" I shot back. "And to think I was actually falling for you again," I begin to cry.
"I-I thought you actually loved me this time,"Ricky's face softens as he walks up to me trying to cup my face but I step back from him.
"I do love you!"
"Bullshit! I'm never gonna be good enough for you!" I shout.
"You're good enough, you're too good for me! I do love you, please believe me I was gonna break up with her after I found out you were moving with us," Ricky pleads.
I let out a loud sob.
"No! Not anymore I'm not moving with you guys! And they all have you to blame!!" I screeched. "Get out, you don't love me, you never did, I can't believe I fell for your lies again," I cry.
Ricky's eyes have tears brimming, he knows he's fucked up.
"Please Cheyenne," He begs.
"Get out!" I scream.
He sighs as a tear slides on his cheek. He walks to his door, grabbing his things on the way. He opens the door, gives me one last look then leaves.
I fall to the couch sobbing until daylight.
