Can't Have It All

A Break

Kenya POV-

"Kenya!" I looked back at Odell running after me in the parking lot. The only thing he put on was his shoes. He was out here, in the cold, in only his boxer briefs and shoes.

But I had nothing for him. I was over him and this relationship.

"Kenya." He ran like he was running for a touchdown after me. I tried to quickly walk to the car but he caught up to me, before I could even open the door.

"I didn't cheat baby. I promise." He held both his arms on the side of me, sorta pinning me onto the car so I couldn't leave.

"Move Odell." I warned him.

"I didn't cheat baby. I didn't cheat." He said trying to catch his breath.

"I don't care Odell. Move." I yelled.

"No. We gon talk this out. Was I wrong for even entertaining Khloe. Yes. 100 percent. But I was angry because I found the pregnancy test and it said positive. And I just couldn't understand why you would lie to me about that. But I didn't cheat. I went to dinner with Khloe. We came back to the hotel had a few drinks at the hotel bar, then she had to go to LA for some emergency. She had one night left in the room, and so it wouldn't go to waste and because I was mad at you, I said I'll stay and check out for her in the morning. But I didn't cheat."

"You thought about it tho didn't you?" I asked him.

He sighed. "Not to have sex, but explore other options because I was just was feeling hurt that you would lie to me about being pregnant because you wanted to abort our baby."

"Odell I lied because I wanted to surprise you with a Father To Be Party. Sorta like a male baby shower because I knew how important the baby was to you and I wanted to make sure this moment was memorable and special."

He sighed and put his head down in shame. "I'm sorry baby, for thinking the worst and not having more faith in you. It's just ever since we broke up I just...I don't know. Every little thing has me on edge now. Like is K really down, or is she going back to her old ways. But that's no excuse for what I did today."

"O maybe we should really take a break. A real break. Just so we can individually get our minds right. If we're going to be parents we got to make sure we're creating the right environment for the baby. And we can only do that if we do the individual work."

"You right. Our baby deserves that. So what you suggest?" He agreed.

"Us being apart. Not dating other people. But giving each other space, and working on being best friends again. I think we got away from that and that's when the problems started. And we need that foundation again to move forward. And you and I know, living together isn't going to help things during this phase so I'll move my stuff from the house."

"No let me move. You got the baby, I'll just get an apartment."

"It's your house O. I don't mind getting an apartment."

"I know whose house it is. And I'm saying, I'll move out for the time being." A rush of cold air blew by. O
Shuddered. He was just in his boxer briefs remember.

"Go back inside." I looked at him.

He looked at me. "How long?"

"I don't know. Just until we get straight."

He shook his head he understood. He kiss my forehead. "Sorry for putting you through this stress. Love you."

Love you too."

We hugged and he went inside the hotel.

"Is that it?" O asked after he came in from putting his last item on the moving truck.

"Yeah." I stood at the door. This was all hurting my heart. I don't know what I was thinking. 😔

"Stop being sad. We'll get through it." He popped my forehead with two of his fingers.

"It feels like when you left Oxford. I never thought I would have to go through that again."

"Well this time, I'm two blocks away. It'll be like walking to my dorm like you did in college. You're welcome anytime, you just can't stay." He smirked.

"Same here."

"Unh-Unh this different. This my house."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes.

He laughed.

"Aight, imma go get moved in. I'll call you later when I'm settled." He hugged me.

"Okay. Love you." I told him.

"Love you too. Call me when you make your first appointment for the baby." He kissed me.

God knows I didn't want to let go, but we needed this to be better.

And just like that he was gone. Here's to being better. I guess. 😖

Yo Somebody tell O to keep his day job. 😂😂
