Kelly

"Wow Kelly. You not even gon say hi, or ask me how I'm doing?"

"Tim shut the fuck up." I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. I haven't seen him in months and I liked it that way. This is literally the worst time for him to pop back up in my life. I came back to Miami to relax, yet the first person I see is my shitty ass ex? "Why are you in my house?!"

"Your house?" he laughed. "Last time I checked, you moved."

"So what? It's still under my name, so it's still my house. Why are you here?"

He sighed. "Well...I live here. At least for now."

"Tim, I swear you never cease to confuse me. Why the hell would you be living here, if you have your own house? And who gave you permission to live here?"

"That's the thing Kelly. I don't own my house anymore."

"..."

"Hannah and I broke up."

I tried so hard, sooo hard not to laugh...but I couldn't help it.

"See...I would say sorry, but I actually don't feel bad for you. This is funny as hell!"

He sucked his teeth and looked down.

"Did she cheat on you?" I asked. At this point I was in tears from laughing so hard. He stayed silent, which basically gave me my answer. "Oh wow! Ain't this some shit. Karma is a real thing."

"Alright Kelly. Relax."

"Wait. Why would you leave your own house? The house was under your name, and y'all weren't married yet..."

"I changed it...I put it under her name. We were so in love and I thought it was gonna be a forever thing so--"

"Wait!" I bursted into laughter again. "Damn, you a whole dumbass! You really let that bitch take ownership of your house because y'all were 'in love'? That hoe clearly ain't love you if she cheated on your ass!"

"How would I know that she was gonna cheat on me? We were about to get married!"

"I mean...you did the same thing to me." I mumbled, suddenly remembering what Trey said that caused me to come here in the first place.

"Listen Kelly. I know you hate me and I'm probably the last person you wanna deal with right now, especially with the things you've been going through lately."

"How you know what I've been going through?"

"I saw what happened last night on the news. I was worried at first, but I know how strong you are so I knew you were okay. You're okay, right?"

I rolled my eyes. "Physically I am."

"So is that why you came here? To relax and calm yourself down mentally?" he asked.

"Maybe."

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

"Not with you." I said honestly. It's nice that he cares, but that doesn't change the fact that I still hate his ass.
