Cupid's Crooked Bow | COMPLETE

Chapter | 07

I'm telling you I want you
But you're saying you don't care
Begging you to stay with me
But you're staying right there
When will you try?
I swear you're being selfish, girl
You know that this ain't fair
Telling me that you want to be alone when you go to bed tonight
You close your eyes
Girl, you still dream
(Dream)
You still dream
(Dream)
Maybe I can make your dreams come true

Lady In A Glass Dress (full version) - Chris Brown

~ § ~

Tonaya was already packed and ready to leave for LA after taking a quick shower in that bathroom she wasn't so fond of. She was over this camping trip; over Willow trying to fix things between her and Chris-- over Chris, period! This whole thing was a waste of time, in her opinion, and she shouldn't have agreed to come in the first place. The moment she saw Chris' face back at Willow's and Aug's, she should've taken the first Uber back to the airport to get her ass back to LA.

She'd just slipped her arms through the sleeves of her red Supreme hoodie when the cabin door opened and Chris' tall figure stood there with remorse and regret written all over his face.

Willow and August had decided to let Chris sort his mess out so they stayed behind to complete the obstacle courses.

Tonaya hadn't been crying, Chris noticed, but she was fuming and, if he looked close enough, he could probably see steam blowing from her ears.

"Toni," Chris closed the door behind him before running his hands over his face.

She kept her jaw clenched as she pulled her hoodie down over the white t-shirt she had on underneath it.

"What do you want?" She asked bitterly.

"I'm so sorry for what I said. I really wasn't-- it wasn't my intention to compare you to Royalty." He said.

It was clear as day that he was trying to watch what he said. Good for him, Tonaya thought to herself, because the next stupid thing he'd say would guarantee he got a slap across his face.

"I just got frustrated, that's all." He said.

"You seem to have an excuse for everything." Tonaya pointed out that fact as she put her charger in her bag.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes." Tonaya didn't look at Chris as she answered him, "like you said, I should've stayed my ass at home instead of being a pain in everyone's else's asses."

"I didn't mean that I wanted you to go."

"Well, I'm leaving."

"Tonaya, don't... you can't go."

"Who's stopping me?"

"I am!"

Tonaya looked Chris up and down as tons of sassy comebacks ran through her head.

She hated Chris. She hated his presence, the sound of his voice, his goofy nature-- his entire being!
