Permanent Fling (BWWM)

chapter 7

My cake was finally done cooling so I began to ice it with vanilla icing. As I’m going around the cake smoothing out the icing I can’t help but remember when Jamie and I were icing cupcakes together after our date and he told me for the first time that he loved me. I was becoming all sad again and more tears started to flow as I thought more about that date when I had given him my virginity.

I took out a plate, fork, and knife and placed them on the counter. I picked up the knife with intensions to cut the cake. “Oh screw it.” I said as I put the knife back down and grabbed the fork and dug in.

Many minutes later there were a couple knocks at my door. At the same time as I walked over to my door I tried to wiped my tears and brush my hair with my hands.

“Hi doll.” Terra said when I opened the door.

“Hey” I greeted her with a hug and then turned for the kitchen.

“So what happened? How did he take it?” Terra asked curiously, as she followed me to the kitchen.

“We both cried. He was willing to make things work. He asked for another chance. But I was just tired of it all, you know? Him being able to say whatever he wants even if it hurts me, as long as he says sorry later on. I just told him I was done.” I said slowly breathing out.

“Wow. Wait, Jamie cried?” Terra asked.

“Just a little bit.” I confirmed.

“Well how about that.” Terra said shocked.

“Yeah, he’s a softy.”

“I would have never guessed. He acts more like a cocky tool like his best friend. What’s his name again?”

“You mean Wes? And Jamie is more of a sweetheart than you think, he just doesn’t show it very often.” I told her, taking up my fork.

“Well that’s his problem right there.” She said back.

“Ugh, I miss him.” I said as I put another bite of cake into my mouth.

“Kay, you need to do something other than think about Jamie.” Terra looked at me.

“I did, I made this cake. You want some?”

“You mean of what’s left of it? Seriously Nala more than half the cake is gone.” Terra chuckled with wide eyes.

“I’m miserable, I’m supposed to eat.” I smiled.

“You’re lucky your ass is fit.” She said jokingly while she gets a fork for herself and takes a bite. 

Jamie’s P.O.V

I was sitting on my couch staring at my phone debating whether or not I should call Nala and beg her to take me back. But then I thought of how pathetic that sounded. And then there was knocking at my door.

“Hey man” I said as I opened the door and saw Wes.

“What’s up doggy?” Wes asked going in for a handshake, then closing the door.

“I’ve just been thinking broski.” I said, walking towards my living room, taking a seat on the couch.

“So what’s this bullshit I heard about her breaking up with you?” Wes asked as he sat on the loveseat across from me.

“Yeah it’s true, happened this morning.”

“Sneaky bitch, didn’t see that one coming. Though I thought you would have ended things with her long time ago bro.” Wes said in disgust.

“Shit happens.” I replied, as I noticeably looked over at my cell to see if she had called, texted or something.

“Bro, I mean Nala is hot and all but you’re not seriously dwelling on this chick right?” Wes asked me confused.

“Nah man.” I answered with side eyes.

“So why did she dump your sorry ass?” Wes laughed.

“Apparently I say whatever the hell I want at her expense then go back and apologize when it suits me, and she’s just sick of it.”

“What a load of crap.”

“Bro it got so emotional.”

“Whatever man best way to get over her is to hook up with another her.” Wes said with a smirk.

I laughed. “Oh my gosh, this is crazy.”

“You need to quit over thinking what happened.”

“You’re right, I need to put my thoughts to rest man.”

“Just let em die bro.” Wes said insisting.

“Alright, call up the boys.” I said motioning to the phone that was already in his hands.

“Done and done. Now let’s go out and tip a few.” Wes said eager to get drunk.
