Chapter 27: Too Much

Tremaine

Tremaine ran his palm down his face. He knew this was about to be one long night with Laive.

"Laive, why you always want to start some shit?"

L sat up and moved to the right side of the bed.

"So getting answers is starting shit? I was there Tremaine. This isn't something I just heard about."

"Why you ain't just tell me you was coming?"

"You asked me to be there! I couldn't come because I had a show, you KNEW that. But you made it seem so important that I was there. I did everything I could to get that flight at the last minute. Too bad I didn't know about your roster of replacements."

"I'm not doing this shit with you right now. I'm fucking tired. And we both have flights to catch when we get up."

"You asked me what made me mad and now you can't handle it?"

"Why wait to explain that shit now though? What the fuck can I do about it now?!"

"I brought it up as soon as you got back home. Don't act like I never said anything about it"

"Nah. You not doing that. Don't put all this shit on me. You ain't tell me shit about you coming to New York, and now you want to be mad because I couldn't read your fucking mind?"

"You know wh-"

"Nah I don't baby girl. But I don't give a fuck either. WE are not together."

Tremaine saw Laive's chest drop. He had just hurt her.

"You don't care? Ok." Laive sarcastically laughed. "I'm a big girl Tremaine. I can handle US not being together. My problem is that you think I'm going to sit here and be ok with you dating and seeing multiple women without knowing the extent of your actions with them."

"You don't even care about that shit Laive. You asking me stuff you don't even want to know the answer to."

"What's wrong with being completely honest? I'm going to always be that way with you. So why are you acting like what I'm asking is impossible."

"Laiv-"

"No! You don't get to decide for me whether I want to stick around or not because you omit the  details about what you're doing and try to coax it over with some bullshit."

Tremaine gently pulled at her waist, "Come here baby....you tired."

"Like If I'm on a date and you call, I'm not going to answer. But I'll text you and let you know 'hey I'm on a date. I'll call you when I get home'. What's so hard about that?"

"Come on Laive...lay down"

"Alright. So I'm going to date multiple guys and have sex with them." 

"Nah. You not doing that." Tremaine stated bluntly.

"I mean it's ok for me to have sex with multiple men, and then come have sex with you?"

"You not doing that either." Tremaine's tone was so harsh, he saw Laive tense against him.

"You're ok with that right? As long as I don't tell you, right?"

"Baby girl...please. I'm too tired to do this shit with you."

"It's cool. We even. Don't worry about it"

We even? Fuck does that mean?

Tremaine was finally able to pull Laive in the bed underneath him. It was obvious that she was angry. L wouldn't even respond to him running his fingers through her hair.
