Stubborn

Kori

Im beyond pissed and fed up. If Rico doesn't care about about our relationship anymore then why should I? I know for a fact that he's cheating. Why else are you not able to get me at 4 am? Dakota is right woman intuition is all I need.

Little did Rico know, my grandmother left me her house in the will. Majority of my stuff is still at her house. I was supposed to be moving here with Rico since Im always over here, but since he wanna be single, imma grant his wish. I walked around his place packing everything that I wanted to take back with me. Once I left here, I wasn't coming back. Whatever I left he can have and give to the next bitch. Once I was done, I hid my bag by the door and waited for Rico to come home. I ended up laying down and falling asleep.

I woke up hearing the door open. I laid down waiting for him to leave the room. I heard him set the keys on the dresser and go in the bathroom. I heard the shower running and instantly got mad. I know he was trying to wash the scent of another female off him. I got up and looked at the clock. It was 8 in the morning. The fuck has he been? I got up and put my key to his place on the bed. I went on my phone and requested an uber to my grandmas place. I had 12 minutes before my driver got here.

I was about to just leave but something in me still wanted answers. I was standing by the front door with my bags by me. I heard him turn off the water and walk to the room. He stopped in the hallway when he saw me standing by the door. He walked up to me wearing nothing but underwear.

Rico- The fuck you going?
Kori- You dont have no fucking right to ask me about shit! Where the fuck were you?
Rico- I was out.
Kori- Who the fuck were u with?
Rico- It dont matter.
Kori- it do fucking matter. You left me stranded at 4 fucking clock in the morning. Then you come walking in here at 8 in the morning and go straight in the shower. Nigga you was with some bitch!
Rico- I wasn't with no fucking bitch.
Kori- The who the fuck was you with?
Rico- My mom.
Kori- You a fucking liar! Cant believe I fucking wasted time with you. Ever since the miscarriage, I know you've been fucking some other bitch. You wanna be single fine. Im done.

I turned around and grabbed my bags as my phone told me my cab was here. I grabbed my coat, too heated to put it on, and tried to open the door. But Rico closed it.

Rico- You dont have nowhere to go.
Kori- My grandma left me her house. You wondered why I never brung all my shit over here because I knew I was ganna leave your sorry ass. Now move!

Rico grabbed my arm tightly and pulled me away from the door.

Rico- You aint going no where.
Kori- Get the fuck off of me.

I grabbed a vase on the table and kept hitting him until it broke and he let me go. I grabbed my stuff and ran out to the cab.

Kori- Go please hurry.

The female driver hurried and sped away.

Driver- Everything okay?
Kori- Yeah just a bad break up.
Driver- every thing will be okay hunny. Just pray and the lord shall heal you.
Kori- Thanks.

She turned up the music and left me to my thoughts. Deep down I just wanted to break down and cry. I loved Rico with all of me. But I refuse to be in a toxic relationship. She pulled up to my grandmothers house off Warner and Garfield. I thanked her grabbed my stuff and walked in the house. I still wasn't use to being here without my grandma. Thats why I was always at Rico's. But now, im just going to have to deal. I put my stuff down and called my best friend. She doesn't stay far from my grandmas. Hopefully she'd pick up.

Dakota- Hello.
Kori- Im sorry to wake you but I need you.
Dakota- Whats wrong?
Kori- I left Rico and I moved back into my grandmas place.
Dakota- Im on my way alright?
Kori-Okay.

We hung up and I waited for her to get here. When she finally did, I rushed in her arms and started breaking down crying. My heart was truly broken. I loved him so much and it killed me to leave him.

Dakota- Shhh. Its okay baby. Its what needed to happen. I know it hurts. Now lets lay down and tell me what happened.

She helped me walk to my bedroom and comforted me. Eventually I was able to tell her what happened.

Dakota- I should go over there and beat his ass into a coma. You don't break my best friends heart and you damn sure don't put your hands on here.
Kori- Fox I just wanna be over this. I don't care anymore. Im done and tired.
Dakota- I know you are boo. And Im So Glad You Finally Are. Now I'm going to run to the grocery store real quick to get some heartache medicine and we can eat nap and chill until its time to go to work.

I nodded my head as she got up and put her shoes on. She left and I sat and thought. I had just went back to work but I really dont want to go. Its only a Wednesday and the club not ganna be jumping like that. I reached for my phone to text Dallas. I could text Keith but he would be begging to come here if I tell him about Rico.

I looked at my phone and noticed I had 12 missed calls and 7 texts from Rico.

MyHeart- Bring Yo Ass Back Here Now.
MyHeart- I swear on everything you not leaving me.
MyHeart- Ill come over there and drag you back here.
MyHeart- Pick up the damn phone.
MyHeart- You need to apologize for fucking hitting me with a vase.
MyHeart- Alr look Im sorry baby. I shouldn't have grabbed you and I shouldn't have left you stranded. Just come back home. Please.
MyHeart- I Love You 😘

I instantly got disgusted. As I was about to block him he called my phone again. I ignored it and continued on with blocking his number. I texted Dallas and told him about me not coming.

Kori- heyy. Its Kori. I cant make it into work tonight.

A few minutes after I sent it, Dallas called me.

Kori- Hello.
Dallas- Whats going on?
Kori- Im just not good right now. Im not going be able to handle working tonight.
Dallas- Im not calling as your boss. Im calling as your friend. Now what happened?
Kori(sighs)- well I just broke up with my boyfriend and it was pretty bad.
Dallas- He aint lay a hand on you did he?
Kori- Welll.. he grabbed my arm tight but he didn't hit me or anything.
Dallas- You want me to come over there?
Kori- Im not at his place anymore. I moved back into my grandmothers house. Dakota is over here with me so im fine.
Dallas- Well alr. I got you covered on your shift. Ill holla at you later.
Kori- Okay.

I hung up and laid in bed. Memories of my grandmother flooded in my head as I remembered the last time I saw her. Before she had a stroke in her sleep and died. I started crying again. It was just so much anger sadness and pain in me at once. I don't know what to do anymore. I heard Dakota come back.  She walked in my room and saw me crying. She didn't say anything, she just came and held me as I cried. She rubbed my back and told me my pain will be eased someday and itll be okay. After I got tired of crying she helped me wipe away my tears and took me to the kitchen. She opened the grocery bag and I saw Twix Ice cream with chocolate and caramel sauce bottles. Our favorites. We fixed us a bowl and dug in.

After we ate our ice cream we ended up falling asleep because both of us were seriously drained. We woke up a lil bit after 7. I told her I wasn't going to work and walked her out. I hugged her and she went on her way. I was still tired and just wanted to sleep. But I didn't want to sleep alone. I went upstairs to my grandmas room and crawled in her bed. Her scent was still in the sheets. It made me feel like she was here next to me. I cried a few more tears until I went back to sleep.
