My Growing Heartache

Chapter 1: The Mini- Heart attack!

I wake up, vigorously, out of my sleep, on a Friday morning, as I try to make it to the bathroom in time. I get a sudden urge to vomit from that pungent odor. What is that smell? It smells like rotten fish and eggs. I quickly flush the toilet after my sudden incident. I make my way downstairs to see my front door wide open and the garbage truck is right outside. That's what that smell was.

"What the Hell...?!" I manage to say, through my Mini- Heart attack. Then I see him, that caramel-skinned god. His Jet black hair is in curls and is held back by gel. He's coming to my door!

"Hey beautiful." says Romeo.

I instantly start to remember last month's events. Romeo and I met on a late Friday. I was going to the movies with Rosaline (pronounced Rahz-Ah-Lynn), my home girl/ BFF, and he ran into me. He was on the phone and had a coffee in his hand, which, obviously spilled ALL OVER me! He smiled and apologized and asked for my number, which I gave him. He called me the next day, asking if he can take me out to make up for the whole coffee scene. I agreed and we went out a few more dates after that. Then we made 'us' official. It felt like a dream, him being back so early. He's in the military and I haven't seen him since 'we' became official. I missed him SOO much already!

He stood there in his military attire and said, smirking, "Can I come in? Or are you gonna make me stand out here.".

"Oh... N-no, I- I m-mean, yes, com-come in!" I stammered tears filling my eyes. "I missed you so much!" I cried, hugging him. ""I missed you too, Babe." He says, picking me up and closing the door behind him. "They said I did enough for the country and I can come home permanently and they'll still pay me."

"That's GREAT!" I say, about to kiss him. Then I stopped myself, as I remembered that I haven't yet brushed my teeth after vomiting.

"I'll be RIGHT back! Don't leave!" I tease, jumping out of his arms.

"Ok, I'll be in the kitchen."

I run upstairs and into my bathroom, again.

"This is a mess!" I mumble to myself.

I get my toothbrush and open to cabinet to get my toothpaste, but it's done.

"Hey, Kenz, I'm going to the shop to pick up some food- want anything?" Romeo asks.

My real name is Kennise, but he calls me Kenz for short- along with my friends and family.

"I need some toothpaste, please. The Crest 3D White and Colgate."

When it comes to my hygiene, I don't play. I use at least two of everything- from soap to toilet paper.

"Okay, I'll be back." He says, going out the door.

As I'm on my way to clean the toilet from my rendezvous earlier, the shower catches my eye. I quickly get out of my clothes and jump in.

I take both a 15 minute shower and then a 15 minute bath.

As soon as I get out the bathroom and into my room, I see Romeo.

"I got what you asked for," He says, "its downstairs."

"Thanks, babe," I reply.

Before I can get downstairs to get my toiletries, I'm pulled into a deep, passionate kiss.

I start to remember how I never brushed my teeth through this scene and I throw up on him at that exact second. He looks totally shocked and says, as calmly as ever, "I guess that's my payback for the coffee, huh?"

"Ummm, no," I chuckle, "but I guess it could be."

"But, what if I don't accept that and I don't forgive you?"

"Then, how can I make you forgive me?" I say, moving closer to him.

"By getting into the shower with me." He says. And that ends our conversation.
