Temptation (August Alsina) (Editing Process)

55. Paitence

Few days later...

(Kiara's P.O.V.)

"You think this would look cute on me?" I turned around to see Liz holding up a bright yellow top against her chest.

"Yea definitely."

"Are you lying to me?"

"No I'm not, I'm serious...Not everyone can pull off such bright colors like that." She chuckled before throwing it on the side of her arm.

"Alright well I guess I'm buying this then. You haven't found anything you like yet?" I shrugged still rummaging through the rack of shirts.

"That's unlike you."

"Yea it is but I mean we have a lot of stores to go so I'll eventually find something."

"Yea I guess you're right."

We continued to pace around H&M slowly, while I was mostly just eyeing items Liz took initiative to actually go ahead and buy stuff.

I mean you could say I was in a bit of a mood, and I was trying my best to stay positive because this whole point of us going out was so that she wouldn't have to keep worrying about me and we could finally "talk" about things.

"So I'm guessing you're either not in the mood to shop or whatever is going on between my husband and you is still on your mind." I smiled softly.

I honestly felt bad, she was doing all of this just to keep my mind off of things and I could barely even keep my mind off of Kenneth even if I wanted to.

I sighed looking up for a second, "I'm fine Liz, seriously."

"Doesn't seem that way."

"Oh this is cute." I said picking up a pair of olive green ripped jeans, trying to change the subject.

"You can tell me that you don't want to talk about it Kay, you don't have to act that way towards me I'll understand." I looked back up at her, I could tell she was a little upset.

"I'm sorry Liz...but it's a lot to grasp onto and I'm just trying my best to just forget it."

"Kiara-."

"-Liz don't."

"Just here me out boo." I folded the jeans I was still holding in my hand and placed it back on the shelf full of the others.

"Not trying to go all psychiatrist 101 on you, but Kay trying to forget something only puts you in the position where it's all you could think about. I may not know or even understand what's going on between you and Kenneth but babe you need to actually sit down and face him and hear what he has to say even if you think he doesn't deserve it. That's probably the only way you'll be able to move on, you never know what talking to him could do for you."

I nodded "Alright, fine...Lets go."

"Go where?"

"To your house...If I'm gonna hear him out I want you to be there."

"But Kay-."

"Liz if you aren't there, there's a slight chance I'm gonna lose my shit so someone needs to be the middle ground."

"Alright well at least lemme purchase these first."

"You'll do fine without them, they weren't that cute anyways." I grabbed the few shirts that were in her hand and placed them on random table full of other clothes and dragged her out the store.

After twenty minutes of driving we had finally reached Liz's crib.

"Before you go inside, just know Kenneth hasn't told me anything. He wanted you to tell me and I mean honestly you don't have to tell me or even have me in the same room as you guys while you're talking with him if anything just come find me and I'll be close by."
