L O U I S V I L L E || A Bryson Tiller Story

§ Chapter Fifty §

~...that's something that I should know--all the things that we've been through--girl I never meant to put you through it twice no, no...~

Naomi's POV

"This is what he gave me," I handed the reserved flight ticket over to Camille.

She squinted as she read it. Cami obviously needed to have her reading glasses on but she's always hated to wear them.

"He gave you a ticket?" Camille asked more than said.

I nodded," He told me the flight is for tomorrow at 10:30. He's leaving it up for me to decide if I'm coming or not. If I don't come, he's going to take it as if I'm not trying to fix the damage I've caused in his life already."

"Are you trying to patch this up?" Camille questioned waving the ticket around.

"Umm..."

"Come on Naomi, you can't be seriously thinking about leaving here. Right?" Camille looked at me as if I'd gone crazy.

"I-I don't know," I sighed falling back on the couch next to her.

"You only have the rest of the day left to find out! You have this paid for house...a good paying job with one of the biggest magazines in the country...! Are just going to leave it all to rot?"

"I know and I don't want to leave it but I'm just so confused," I explained," I told Bryson the same thing but he didn't leave any room for consideration of that. It's either I'm going or I'm not."

"What's the confusion? What in the hell do you have in Miami?" Cami pointed out," who do you even know there?"

"I don't have anything there," I uttered," or anyone."

"Exactly, you'd be starting all over. At least here in Louisville you have me."

"But I'd have Bryson there..."

"And his baby mother, too. Remember her? Who's to say that you two will work out," Camille fussed  bringing me back into reality," You guys are cute and all but come on. Bryson might not even want to settle down like that after getting married and divorced already. You've told me countless times about how much you want to settle."

"That's true," I hated to admit," but what if it does work? I don't want to stay here and regret what could've been."

"Then he has a daughter. What happened to the Naomi who told me she never wanted a nigga with kids? If you leave, it's only a 50/50 chance of it working out in your favor. You might not have to regret."

I bit down on my lip and thought hard but nothing was coming to my brain. I was trying to weigh out my options, the pros and the cons, but all I could picture in my head was Bryson's face and plump lips.

"You're right," I heaved," it's not promised."

"I'm telling you this as your cousin--family and a friend," Camille consoled as she rubbed my shoulder," Don't get me wrong, though. Tiller is a great guy."

"I know. It's just that you and Swan seem so happy. I want to be happy. I was content when Bryson and I were on good terms," I told her.

"Wow, you finally said his name right," Camille gasped with a hand over her heart,"usually you say water bird or duck."

I chuckled," It's all the same."

"Look," Camille began," if you want to go...I will support you a thousand percent. I'd just rather you stay. I know I'm being selfish but I can't help it. Your my little cousin."

I blushed at memories of how Camille and I would only deal with each other at our family reunions. All the other kids in our family thought we were stuck up because we would only talk to one another and not them.

"...but if Bryson makes you happy, don't let me or anyone else get in the way of that. I love Swan's dumbass," Camille laughed," he makes me happy. I don't want to stop you from feeling the same way."

"So are you telling me to go or stay?" I asked with an eyebrow raised.

Camille was confusing the hell out of me. One minute it sounds like she's giving me the green light to leave and the next she's making me feel bad for even making it an option.

"No, what I'm telling you is...you already fucked with his emotions one time, don't leave here just to do it again and not make the situation better. That's if you really and truly care about him. Don't even consider passing that airport by tomorrow if you don't love him and want to make something out of this."

Well damn, I thought.

I do want to make it better but my life was here in the 502. I fucked up with Bryson once, the whole reason behind this Miami thing is to right what I've done to him. Not do something wrong yet again.

"So what's it going to be, Naomi?" Camille asked seriously," Are you dropping everything to go to the airport tomorrow morning or not?"

I took a long pause and closed my eyes," I don't think...I guess I should--"
