Match | Keith Powers (EDITING)

18.0

Rymia (Ra•my•a)

I'm meeting up, with Darius it's been a while since we spoken. We met at a cafe that's near campus, we sat across from each other in silence. I'm waiting on him to speak, I'm not going to speak to him first. I played with the straw from my drink

"Rymia," Darius said

I looked up at him, "Why are we even doing this?" He asked. It's weird that those words came out his mouth, because he did it I didn't.

"I should be asking you that," I mumbled

"Fix you're attitude,"

I was already slightly annoyed, but still calm. Now I'm pissed off, because I have the right to feel this way.

"Actually Darius fix you're attitude, you think I'm stupid. I know that you're cheating on me, and didn't have the courage to break up with me or tell me. But you're a coward, you thought I wasn't going to find out. You were probably going to drag me along like a ungrateful son of a- I don't even want to go there with you because I have my energy to focus else where,"

"Rymia it just happened, I'm a man it's not like I could really prevent it. I was in the moment, I'm sorry.

"Are you saying that you did it just because I wasn't fulfilling 'you're sexual needs'. Just because, I actually want to save myself doesn't make it bad.

" I know that it's not bad, but Rymia. Listen it was the urge, the temptation, "

I rolled my eyes, "Stop with the excuses, Darius you're not a man you're still a boy that needs to grow up. And I'm not going to be around to watch you do that," I got up from the table and walked away.

Ebony

I was writing in my journal, I haven't touched it since high school. I just wanted to get my thoughts all on this notepad in my lap.

Long time no write
I'm so glad, I have my outlet again. You have help me with various of issues. Such as my depression, my drama with  friends, school. Its good to see you again..

I do suffer from clinical depression, not a lot of people know this. It's something very personal that I don't like discussing it, only really my family knows about it.

Rymia knows about it somewhat, she knows about me having depression. But not to that extent, where I have to take medication. I'm a working progress, I can say I'm happy.  That's when someone knocked on my door, "Come in," I called out.

It was Rymia, "Hey Ebony,"

"Hey Mia, how it go?" I smiled, closing my journal

"Good well on my part," Rymia slightly smiled

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that Darius and I broke up. I told him off,"

I can't believe it really happened they're not together, but who wants to stick with a person that's not loyal to you. I wouldn't..

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah sometimes you have to do what you have to do,"

"I'm sorry Rymia,"

"It's fine, but now I'm to myself again" she smiled

"Don't tell Sophia that, she's still trying to hook you up with ole' dude.."

"Oh yeah you're right but she's probably to busy with Dom,"

We started laughing, "Oh look you're journal," Rymia pointed out.

"Yeah I wanted to start writing in this old thing,"

"That's good," She smiled, that's when my phone vibrated. Keith texted me.

Keith❤
Wyd right now?

Nothing, why?
Delivered

"Keith is texting you?"

"Yeah,"

"You really like him.."

"I do, everytime I'm with him. It seems like we know everything about each other..I just can't describe the feeling I have for him," I smiled.

"That's so sweet it seems like a match,"

Keith❤
Get ready, I'm taking you out.

Okay😊
Delivered

I got up from my bed, and start searching through my dresser. "That's my que, have fun Eb." Rymia got up, and walked out from my room

"Thanks!" I called out. I decided to wear a black crossover shirt with a jean jacket, and jeans with classic converse. My hair was up. Keith walked into my room with flowers, I turned around. "Hey," I smiled.

"Hey," He bit his lip and handed me the flowers. I started to grin, I smelled the flowers. "Thank you,"

"Your welcome, are you ready" Keith asked, I nodded.

We were in the car, listening to music. "Keith thank you for being here,"

He turned down the music, "Your welcome Ebony, I love your company,"

I started blushing even, in my serious relationship with Odell. I never express how I truly felt neither did he. So it was like we were hiding our true feeling.

"Thanks Keith," I grinned. We arrived at the mystery place and Keith took us to the boardwalk.

We started walking on the boardwalk, "Oh my goodness, I haven't been here since I was 14," I said looking around in amazement.

"Damn, that's a long time to compared to mine." Keith laughed,

"Yeah my dad use to take my brother and I all the time,"

"If you don't mind me asking, but what happened to you're dad? I heard you mentioned him before.."

"My dad died my 10th grade year, he was sick. It hit me hard, I was going through a lot. Which made me go into depression, and it eventually turned into me being diagnosed with major/clinic a depression." I explained

"I'm sorry,"

"It's fine, I'm happy now..with you," I stopped, walked over to look at the view. Keith walked over to me, and looked at it with me. 

"I'm happy with you too," Keith said

I heard some music, which made Keith and I turn around. It was this guy with a radio, playing "Sure thing" by Miguel.

"Love is in the air," He said pointing at us.  Keith and I started laughing.

We both looked at each other in our eyes, we leaned in and shared a passionate and intimate kiss. It was like something you'll see in the movies. I never thought I would be in love with someone else. Now I'm actually in love with someone again, my life is going good.
