Honey (A Keith Powers Story)

Chapter 18

Julian

I marched down the hall to get to my condo. I was still pissed from the fight even though I won I hated that I let him get under my skin like that. I was more upset that Sevyn stayed for 5 minutes. "Wassup Ju" one of the security officers greeted me. I stopped what I was doing walking up to him.

"Wassup man" I said dapping him up. "Great game, you kicked Ricky's ass. I hate that cat" he said. I smiled "Thanks man I never got your name" I said.

"Damon" he said.

"Good looking Damon" I said grabbing my keys from out of my pocket. "No doubt" he said walking down the hall. I heard music from outside the door. I couldn't wait to tell her how I felt. I was tired of her excuses; I was tired of feeling like I was the only one putting work to make this relationship work. I unlocked the door hearing conversation. I stepped in completely seeing Sevyn was on the couch with one of her classmates. "H-hey baby" she said nervously. I didn't say anything I just stood there. She looked at me with guilt filling her eyes"Hey Julian" her classmate Erica said, not sure if I would greet her or not. "Wassup Erica, Sev we need to talk now" I said.

"I will leave you two at it" She said gathering her things. "We can follow up tomorrow" she said. Sevyn nodded watching her walk to the door. I turned around waiting for her to close the door.

"Babe let me-

"Nah you've done enough of that. If you can't put in the same effort of our relationship, then its not going to fucking work out" I said sternly.

"I came by I just had to hurry and get back-

"Let me guess you had to study. I'm tired of hearing that shit" I yelled. She got up from the couch. "I know it looks bad but these classes are taking over my life. You think I like not being able to support you? She questioned. I sat across from her on the bar stool.

"Sevyn everything that's coming out your mouth is bull. Wanna know why? Because you sleep throughout the whole day right. You sleep throughout the whole day and decide to start your work around 4pm and then claim its so much to do. I'm up at crack of dawn busting my ass off for us and the only damn thing that is on your mind is getting your last minute assignments done because you're last minute as hell" I said.

She didn't say anything she just stood there crossing her arms. "I can't help it" she mumbled.
