Look What You Done (An Urban Love Story)

Chapter 3

Corahn

I rubbed destiny's back as we laid on the bed. Destiny had just woken us both up with her throwing up. Clearly the result of her getting drunk last night with kitty. “I’m never going to the cub again" she moaned as she laid her head on my chest. I chuckled as I finger combed her hair from its matted mess. I knew she was just talking, give her a day or two and she’ll be up and ready to go shake her ass up and down that dance floor.

"You’ll be fine" I assured her and she got up running to the bathroom puking. I sighed getting off the bed and walking out the bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen where I brewed some tea for her. Seconds later destiny came into the kitchen holding her stomach as she took place on one of the stools.

"I'm sorry" she said for the fifth-teen time this morning. She was continuously apologizing because she thought I had been mad about last night, but I'm honestly over it. I handed her, her tea and she gave me a smile before taking it and taking a long sip. She then looked at her watched and groaned, "I have to go to the grocery store and pick up some meals then I have to go to the dry cleaners and pick up your suits, then I have to get the guest room ready for my mom and sister, and  my dad--"

"Actually we have to do all those things" I said as I put the tea wrappers in the trash and leaned my back against the sink, her eyebrows furrowed together as she looked at me. "Tomorrow is going to be me and you" I said mimicking her voice as I recalled her promise from last night and she laughed.

"I forgot about all that, but the things I have planned are boring" she said her voice sounding guilty and I laughed walking over to her so that I was in-between her legs. It didn't matter to me, I just loved being with destiny since we both usually never have time, I’m always busy with work and her school. So these moments were always pure bliss.

"As long as I can be with you, I’ll be fine" I responded honestly as I caressed her cheek and she smiled at me giving me this skeptical look. If only I could see what going on in this woman's minds, I swear she thinks a mile per minute.

"Okay let’s go get ready" she said getting off the stool and I shook my head sitting her back down, I needed her to finish up that tea first so she could sober up and not continue to puke all day.

"Tea then go get dressed" I said to her and she groaned sipping on the tea some more. My green tea with olives was the best "sober up" drink I know of. I put something’s in the kitchen sink and walked upstairs to our master bathroom pulling off my shirt in the process.

I grabbed my toothbrush and began to brush my teeth as I looked in the mirror. Throughout the years my physique has changed Instead of my four pack I had carried an eight and now I have a slightly chiseled mustache. My eyes continued to roam my body when I looked at my chest to see the scar I had from when I got shot. The scar has always been a high insecurity for me, it always makes me think about the what ifs like what could have happened if I hadn't came on time to save destiny, or what if The surgery didn't work. The scar gave me this anger that's been built up inside of me for years now, Destiny didn't know about because I refuse to let her worry about me. I sighed finishing up with my teeth and splashing some cold water on my face to clear my head but I couldn’t.

"Corahn" I heard destiny whisper and my head snapped towards the doorway. She looked at me biting her lip meaning she had seen me. She knew I was insecure about it so I think she figured I was getting all emotional about it, since it looks like she had been standing there for a while. Her eye were watery and I couldn’t help as tears streamed down my cheek. I didn’t want her to worry about me, I didn’t want her to stress herself.

She walked over to me looking into my eyes before taking a deep breath and laying a soft kiss on the scar. "Your perfect" she said staring up at me as she wiped the tears coming from my eyes. My hands cupped her face. I had to hide my emotions for her so I smiled not a smile that touch my eyes but it was something.
