Our Love Will Tell

17. Final Goodbye

Whitney

<>

It's been a week since Amarquis and I have last seen each other. I'm glad for the break because I'm beyond upset but more embarrassed than anything.

I basically poured out my heart and blew my cover of letting him know that I have feelings for him still but for what? Just to be shot down.
🙄😑

Knocking me out of my thoughts, I got up and answered the door.

"Y'all hoes just randomly pop up at my house" I shook my head letting Joy and Tete in.

"Hell yeah. We were trying to see what's up with you and Karl's." Joy sat down

"Yeah speaking of her, where is she?" Tete asked before sitting down herself.

"Amarquis has her again." I sighed.

Tete and Joy looked at each other then back at me.

"So are you sad because she's with him.." Joy started

"Or are you sad because of what happened the other day?" Tete finished her statement

Before I spoke, I took a minute to think about my answer. "Both."

"And why is that?"

"Because I really do miss my family..together. I really do feel like I had it right in my hand and I took it for granted. I could have been Mrs. Brownlee already but I'm the side piece of a married man." I began to cry.

"Aww come here sweetie, everything is going to be fine." Joy grabbed me into a hug followed by Tete

"Thanks." I sniffed. "It's just I don't know how I spiraled this far out of control. What's wrong with me?"

"Girl nothing is wrong with you. You're just another woman that's broken mentally and physically. Just like the rest of us"

"I mean it's crazy how these niggas come in our lives and take our happiness and give us this lonely and bitterness for the rest of our lives. I honestly feel like every nigga is the same." Tete said.

"That's how I used to think. Amarquis has totally changed. He's not the same person and he made the change for me and my daughter and I messed it up." I said as tears rolled down my face.

"You'll get through it." Joy gave me another hug.

I smiled and we sat in a peaceful silence for a bit.

"Well I gotta go work, I love you and I'll see you later baby." Tete said as she got up

"Love y'all too" I got up and let them out.

After letting them out, I went upstairs and tried to lay down but I heard the door open.

Knowing it was only one person that it could be, I laid down quickly, turned my back to the door, and pretended to be sleep.

I heard the door open and Jaylon put something on the table. After setting whatever it was up, he kissed me softly and left out of the room

I got up and seen a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card that said I Love You on the outside.

Rolling my eyes deeply I got up and grabbed the flowers and stormed down the stairs. Jaylon was about to walk out the door
