Revenge (Urban)

Chapter 34

Loriana POV

"Hey babe." I kissed Rodney when he opened the door. I walked into his living room and took a seat on the ground. I looked around and cringed at the mess of toys all on the floor.

"You want something?" He asked, coming over to me while he rubbed his eyes. He looked horrible.

"Nah, I'm fine. You good?" I asked, becoming worried.

"Yeah, just a lot of shit going on and Hassan ain't feeling good so he didn't sleep last night. My moms on my back over bullshit, and we arguing. I'm stressed." He vented then took a seat next to me. I sighed and pulled my left leg over his lap.

"Well I'm sorry about all that, but I think we should talk." I said. He nodded and gave me his full attention. "First, I would like to apologize if I disrespected you in anyway by having Dre over or him kissing my cheek at the cookout. That was obviously not my goal." I said. I'm honestly sorry though. I can see why he was upset now.

"I accept your apology baby girl. I just don't want to be looking stupid out here. I'm trying my hardest with this relationship thing, and I'm learning as we go. I don't want to be out here looking dumb for trying and you're out here doing you." He explained.

"I get that this is your first relationship and everything, and it's mine too. This shits rocky as fuck and I honestly feel like as if we could break up any minute because we don't have any solid foundation. We should have our relationship built on top of trust, love, and communication. Only thing we got is love, if I'm gonna be honest." I shrugged.

"Then let's work on it Lori. We can't work on shit if we're arguing all the damn time, and I was serious when I said we're not breaking up again. I'm not trying to loose you girl." He said. I sighed and threw my head back.

"I feel like as if we have unnecessary issues Rodney. You're constantly accusing me of cheating on you which I don't even understand where that shit came from. I don't trust you for obvious reasons, but you have no reason to not trust me."

"You're always around that Dre motherfucker and a whole bunch of other niggas. What else am suppose to suspect. I know that Dre got feelings for you and you're just steady smiling in his face. That's disrespectful and it leaves me to suspect." He said, getting me a bit upset, but not really. I see where he's coming from, but I don't hang around a bunch of niggas. It's only Dre, my fam, people who work for my fam, and Avery.

"You're always with Ruby and you actually cheated with her! How do I know y'all not fucking still? Dre is just a friend! We've never even kissed before!" I raised my voice.

"When are you gonna get over me fucking Ruby?! You're making her way to important and relevant in OUR relationship. Yes I fucked her while I was with you. I admit that, and you claim to have forgiven me, but any chance you get, you just throw it back in my face. You keep complaining about our relationship not having trust, but you're not even ready to let old shit go so I know you're not ready to build any trust between the two of us!" He yelled. He had frustration written all over his face.

"I said I forgave you Rodney. It's one thing to forgive, and it's another thing to forget. I wouldn't even be with you if I didn't forgive you. I was kidnapped while you were laid up with your baby momma. Now, you got the bitch all involved with our lives and living so close and just irritating the fuck out of me. Every time I see her, I just remember that she fucked you while you were dating me and she'll always have that over me. I actually think that she's right when she says that you'll always run back to her, because she'll always be there. She has your son so she'll ALWAYS be a part of your life. I'M not always gonna be here the way she is cause if something ever happens between us again, I have no ties to you." I said. He looked at me then shook his head, licking his bottom lip.
