Broken Love 💔

Cant let you go(pt2)

Layla's POV
After arriving at some place, Candy helps me out of the car since she had me blindfolded. After 5 minutes of walking, I'm guessing we reached the destination because we came to a stop was i heard a door open and close. Hearing another door open and close, i can feel a presence approaching us. As they get closer, i can smell a very familiar cologne. Nah, this can't be him. He doesn't want anything to with me. Does he? After a few more minutes go by, the blindfold is being taken off of me, and i adjust my eyes seeing a beautiful candlelight dinner in the center of the room we were in. I'm assuming a dinning hall. Ok what the hell is going on? "Man candy, whats up? What the hell are we doin...here?" I pause. Never in a million years did i think i would come face to face with again....at least not so soon. I thought he hated me. "A'keem?" I ask in disbelief. "What's up baybeh?" He asked. "Uh, why am i here? With you? What is all of this A'keem?" I ask trying piece together what was happening. "Layla come hea ma." He said holding his hand out. I'm hesitant about this because I'm not understanding why we're here, but reluctantly, i gave in. I grab his hand, walking as he walks me over to the table where the candlelight dinner is. He pulls my seat out for me helping me get seated, then walks over to his own seat, sitting down. Once he sits down, he makes a call then hangs up. Shortly after that, a chef comes out, bringing out our food. My favorite might i add. Garlic buttered lobster, wild rice, grilled New York strip steak, and garlic roasted broccoli. The whole ordeal is to die for, but i can't help but wonder why I'm here. Why WE are here. "A'keem whats going on? Why am i here?" I asked blankly. He stared at me for a brief moment before speaking. "Layla, over the past few months, a lot has happened between the two of us. A Lot. But not having you here over the past month, hurt me as much it hurt you and- "That's bullshit and you know it. A'keem, i haven't spoken to you in over a month! You left me hanging and let that bitch come in and wreck shit! My ex bestfriend who is apparently your Ex. You let her do this. You wouldn't answer any of my calls, my texts or anything, i come by the house and she answers the door sayin that you're out doin for her and her son. That bitch laughed at me and you gave her a reason to! You promised me that you got me....that you would never hurt me, but look at this shit! Do you know how bad that hurt me?! Huh?! Do you?! Answer me!!" I scream. I'm furious at this point. Bringing up all that has transpired over this last month has really brought my emotions forefront. He glanced at me for a moment before reaching for my hand, but i snatched away. "Don't touch me A'keem. Don't ever touch me..." i spoke lowly trying to hold back the tears that were spilling from my eyes.

Kj's POV

Listening to Layla express how I've made her feels really got me feeling like shit right now. I was so busy waiting on her to come to me when she was never the one in the wrong in the first place. I knew that, though. I just allowed my pride and ego to get in the way of what i really feeling. I allowed it to stop me from going to her and being by her side. Seeing her cry like this brings me back to the night i brought her home. Someone causing her so much pain, and i had to be the one to make it go away. Now here i am, causing that same kind of pain. I have to fix this shit. Fast! "Don't touch me A'keem...Don't ever touch me." She spoke as tears streamed down her face. Ignoring her warning, i get up and walk around the table, kneeling before her and swiftly taking her hand, pulling her into me. She cried into my chest as i spoke to her. "Layla....baybeh...i am so sorry for making you feel that way. I'm sorry i made you feel alone and like i would choose her over you. I'm sorry i hurt you baybeh. I never meant for this to happen. I was only looking out for the child, only to become blind to the games she was playing right in front of me. I love you so much girl. With all my hurt man, and i can't do this without you. I don't want to do this without you. Look at me ma." I demand while pulling away and tilting her chin up to make her look at me. Once i have her attention, i reach into my pocket, pulling out a black box and opening it, revealing a beautiful diamond ring.

"From this day forward, i promise to you, i will love and cherish you with everything in me. I promise to never leave your side or turn my back on you again. I promise to hold you and show you something new everyday. And i promise to never ever hurt you again. You got my word girl. Can you accept this promise ma? Can you continue to hold me down and let me make up for the hurt I've caused you? Can you do that? Can you let me show you that i can love you the way I'm supposed to?" I asked wiping her tears away with my thumb. She looked away from me and then back at me, then away again. "Say somethin to me mama..." i softly demand. "I'm scared, Kay. You really hurt me with that shit. What if she comes back and and you turn on me again? Or someone else, for that matter. What an i supposed to do? That shit will crush me and i dont want to go through that all over again." She said sobbing. Damn...i didn't mean for this shit to happen. I didn't mean to hurt her like this. "Shhh. I'm not going to hurt you again. I understand your worth, and i also know how much you mean to me. It took me almost losing you to see it, but now i know not to ever take it there with you again. I just want to love you baybeh. Can i do dat?" I spoke softly. She nodded before choking back the tears and speaking. "Yeahh. I still love you. I'm just scared." "I gotchu Lay. I promise. This time, i mean it." I stated. She nodded and i leaned in, pecking her lips softly. She finally kissed back, allowing my access to her tongue. Gently sucking on it, she let out a soft moan causing me to pull away, pecking her lips twice before pulling away. "I'm really sorry Layla. From this day forward, i will treat you and cherish you with the upmost love and respect. That's my word, and if i ever go back on it, i give you permission to leave me for Chris Brown." I say with s smile causing her to laugh. "Ok now. I'm taking your word for it Kj. Don't hurt me again." She warns me. "I gotchu baybeh." I assure. The rest of the night goes by smoothly. Now it's time to take her to our room for the night.
