Reign

The loud bickering of God above disturbed my sleep. I love rain but i hate the thunder. It's like loud tears, unnecessary convincing. I opened my eyes already upset with my current status. Honestly, i hoped that my life was just a dream but i guess it isn't. There's a thin line between reality and the truth. The truth is factual and blinding while reality is all of the above. My reality will never be the real truth of my life.

I rubbed my eyes to wake me up even more. Lightly scratching my head i walked over to my kitchen. I opened my fridge snatching a cold water bottle. I let the cold water trail down my thirsty throat. My attention spanned towards my door. It unlocked itself to a hungover Amaranthine. "Mornin" she said laying her stuff on the living room couch. "Mornin?" I said scrunching my eyebrows. "We, ugh. I have something to tell you" she said looking into my eyes. She walked over into the kitchen with a serious expression on her face. "I don't know what happened last night" She started off. She remembers. "But i've been feeling a certain way for a long time now and i just don't know how to tell you" "Okay what is it?" I  asked getting to the point. "I like you" Her words broke through the silence of the house. "You what?" I said with a confused face. "Kai, I'm falling for you" she said with her hands folded. "You can't" "Why not?" "I-i don't see you that way Amara" I said seriously. "What?" I could see the disappointment cloak her face. "Amaranthine you're like a sister to me and you know that" i responded.  The thunder roared in the background corresponding to Amaranthines' new attitude. I could see the tears start to form in her eyes. She tried to hold them back but she's just as open as a book. "I have to go" she said already rushing out the door.

It's the beginning and end

My eyes glued to the front door reminiscing on what just happened. I just hate having to hurt the one person i remotely care for. I didn't mean to hurt her, but i don't like her either. Why must there always be difficult circumstances. I groaned fading into my cave. Guilt consumed me. The last thing i want to be is upset. Maybe if...nevermind. I scratched my head thinking of the things to do today. "Oh!" My eyes shot opened. "I totally forgot about that" i said slapping my face. Maybe if i get rid of Stefan she won't hate me as much. Stefan Moore, 25, Male, Assassin/Drug Lord, ultimate man whore, etc. He's my next problem. I never knew the dude personally, but i can say he never hits it right with anyone. It just so happens to be my luck that i'm messing around with his girl. This will be interesting. I should probably apologize to princess also if i want more info on him. My phone vibrated indicating a text. Well speak of the devil.

Pretty Princess<3: Hey baby i wanna do things over with us. Maybe if you're not busy we can go out to eat for 5?

Kai: Sure.

Pretty Princess<3: Okay! Meet me at Souls and look cute :)

Kai: Umm, alright...

      The lights in my room dimmed as the day fell. Coincidences are natural so they say. I can't imagine this date I'll have with princess, even if it isn't. The thought of sitting alone with her seems awkward considering what i said. On a real note we were never friends to begin with, we're just beneficial acquaintances. Unfortunately even that will come to an end. I checked the time on my phone making sure i won't end up late. 4:00 pm. My clothes were already laid out from earlier when she had called. I let 10m minutes pass before i began to change into my clothes. After i got dressed i made sure to spray enough cologne. In a flash i was out the house and on the road. Souls is this fancy asian restaurant not too far from me. Twenty minutes had passed and i was already there. 5:10 pm, good enough.

    I walked through immediately searching for Princess. "Sir, are you here for princess" He said getting in my view. "Yes thank you" i said with a smile. I sat down at the table settling into the confined mood. It's like they tried to restrict romance. "Hey baby" she said smiling. Her brown eyes lit up the deeper she stared into mine. I smiled back adjusting myself into the seat. "So about what you said..." she getting to the point. "Yeah" I said giving my attention. "I don't want to come off like i'm forcing you to love me because i'm not. I don't love you, i love the intercourse" she said being brutally honest. "Well you know the last thing i wanna do is hurt you but it was me being me" I said shrugging. "I realized" She said with a smile. A waitress came from around the back ready to take our orders. "Wine?" They said offering two glasses. "Sure" princess quickly responded. Sinking into my chair i watched the waitress pour wine carefully into our glasses. "So are you on a time crunch today?" i said referring to her relationship. "No, he's out of town right now" she said looking down at her glass. "What happened between you two?" I asked. "I don't know. One moment we love each other the next he's dictating me. He's very physical, with what he does" she said carefully. "Mhmm, I'm-" "Sorry i have to go to the restroom" she said cutting me off. I sighed scratching my head. How am I supposed to get information out of her? I closed my eyes rubbing my forehead.

I took notice to this place and its venue. Something here seems odd, probably because it's not my crowd. It's not everyday you see a black man walk into a expensive restaurant. Suddenly loud screams and violent fires broke the union. What's happening? Gun fires blasted into the ceiling alarming everyone. I ducked for cover trying to  find a way out. Back door? Crawling towards the kitchen area I hoped to see a way out. Entering the kitchen i rushed through finding my way to the backdoor. "Princess" I rolled my eyes by my stupid flaw of leaving her behind. Should I go back? Nah. I chuckled at how cold i had become. I need a drink.
