Honey (A Keith Powers Story)

Chapter 31

Honey

I sat on the floor slowly burning a few of King and our pictures. I grabbed my lighter slowly running it through left to right watching it burn. When my grandmother said all women experience a breakthrough once in their lifetime she was right. How do you just throw away an 8-year relationship? King and I met my junior year in college and we were on and off all the time. I guess the inconsistency should've been a big red flag for me but I didn't care. I loved him and I loved not being lonely. Now I dread all those years I wasted on half-ass love. Now I'm in this predicament when I should've had the strength to leave. Maybe I did have the strength to leave, I was just so comfortable that I didn't care but why be comfortable when I can feel fulfilled? Its too bad I waited so long for this to click in my head. I contemplated thinking about the kiss between Julian and I. It just kept replaying in my mind over and over again. The way he kissed was like he wanted to make love to me or something and I haven't experienced that kind of passion in a long time. We always knew deep down inside we really cherished each other but we never talked about it. I just didn't want to be an experiment just because he's not that happy in his relationship.

Julian

I debated going in the crib; I set back listening to J. Cole as I scrolled through all the comments on Instagram. "I bet the neighbors think I'm selling dope" I rapped nodding my head.I quickly stopped once I saw me.

"Julian Maxwell may not be Mr. Right after all. Tamia Rose claims Julian Maxwell flashed her and they had a quickie in the bathroom. All of this went down at Floyd Mayweather's mansion party in Calabasas, California. Video shows Julian stepping out of the bathroom along with Rose adjusting her dress. READ MORE ON THE

"Fuck" I yelled taking my key out the ignition. I knew this was going to lead to another argument. I didn't think people were going to record this. I stormed out so quickly how could anyone think that I had time to have an affair? but because I'm a man with this kind of status, I was about to get dragged by a lot of women. I walked out the elevator pissed. These groupies couldn't wait to ruin my reputation anyway they can. I unlocked my door walking inside.

"Baby" I called. It was quiet and I got no response back. I placed my keys on the key rack walking into the kitchen. I was welcomed by her sitting on the counter. Her eyes were watery and I could barely look into them. "Baby just let me explain" I said standing in front of her. She didn't say anything she just pushed me away from her.

"You fucking liar" she yelled getting of the counter.

"Sev its not what it looks like. I promise you" I begged. "You just couldn't wait to go to LA and do your dogging" she scoffed placing her hand on her hip.

"And you couldn't wait to be mad over some bullshit" I fired back. It takes me forever to get upset but lately. Sevyn and I haven't been seeing eye to eye. What was really pissing me off is her questioning me? I have never cheated on a woman in my life let alone Sevyn. I know I kissed Honey earlier but that was a mistake.

"Look, I went to use the bathroom. I look up and some girl is in there. I told her to leave next thing you know she's trying to press up on me so I left-

"That's so hard to believe" she said cutting me off mid sentence. I grew frustrated with the whole situation. If I have to go through this wild shit for fame, then I don't want it. It hurt that she told me that she didn't believe me that means she doesn't trust me.

"Wow" I said. "Yeah wow, I'm wowing at all of this. Julian if you don't want to be with me just say it. Spare me the fucking heartache please" she begged
