Yes, I am Phat Part 2 (COMPLETED)

Chapter Twenty

I woke up with another headache, not like last time but enough to make my head throb. But, I was prepared this time. I made sure I bought salad mix and Gatorade's.

I looked over and saw Rico sleeping peacefully. I smiled and got up going to his dresser getting on of his big shirts and put it on. Damn near came to my feet.

I went to brush my teeth and wash my face. I looked horrible! Hair everywhere, drool on my face. I brushed my hair back and went into the kitchen and made two big bowls of salad. I mean really big, like the containers you store food in big.

As I was pouring ranch on my salad Rico came in still naked! As much as I didn't want to, I resisted.

"Damn you couldn't put on no boxers bae?" I asked giggling.

"No, I have a huge hangover. Why are you eating salad?" he asked picking his boxers up off the floor.

"Makes your hangover go away, this and Gatorade. Yours is in the fridge."

"I was bout to say. Yo ass better not go on a diet. I won't have nothing to grab." he said making me smile.

"Just eat the damn salad and drink the Gatorade man." I said. He did as told and took a seat on the counter.

"Do you remember wha happened last night?" he asked me. I nodded my head.

"You?" I asked eating a fork full of salad.

"Mhm, we should do that again." he said raising his eyebrows. I waved him off.

"No, yo ol drunk ass." I said laughing.

"I won't that damn drunk. I knew what I was doing." he said smirking. I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever, what we doing today?" I asked him.

"I don't know, why?"

"Because, we leave tomorrow night don't we?" I asked. He nodded his head and I sighed.

"I never would've applied at UCLA if I knew I would be away from you." I said pouting. He pecked my lips and smirked.

"I know it's hard baby, but we'll get through it. And it'll pay off in the end. I tell you what.. Why don't we take a break?" he said. I couldn't believe his mouth formed those words.

"What!? What are you talking about?" I asked him putting my salad down.

"I'm not saying break up.. Just.. Never mind. I'd kill a nigga." he said shrugging.

"Yeah, don't say nothing like that no more." I said.

"I'm sorry." he said after a while. I nodded my head and started to walk off until he pulled my arm.

"Forgive me ma?" he asked. I looked up at him and nodded my head. I still couldn't believe he said something like that.

"I forgive you." I said flashing a weak smile. He let my arm go and I walked away.

I was chillen on the couch in Rico's condo watching movies and whatnot. I wasn't stressing on us leaving tonight because we'd be back for Christmas break. I also thought about what Rico said yesterday. What if we did take a break? Would things be different? I mean, obviously things would be different, but I mean would they be different when we connected again? Get what I'm saying?

I decided to text a few people. Rico was out handling last minute business until it was time for our flights.

To Nicki : I'm so bored! What you and Terrell doing?

To Jacob: Nigga I haven't heard from you in forever. Wassup??

Jacob texted back instantly.

Jacob: I been hanging with Brandy. How school been going for you?

Me: Aw, I wanna meet her one day. And its been stressful as hell. I'm ready to graduate already. I'm not even sure if I wanna go all the way to senior year.

Jacob: You'll meet her and I'm feeling the same way. Bout to say fuck this shit! Lol but hang in there thickness.

Me: Lls I bet. I leave tonight, wbu?

Jacob: Same, back to the Atl for what, another month?

Me: Aye, I bet all the girls thick there. And yeah, then its Christmas time! Lol

Jacob: Yeah but they don't top you ma lls.

I heard keys in the door then footsteps. Rico said he was gonna be busy all day. I looked towards the kitchen and saw Rico leaning on the counter with his head in his hands. I sighed and walked over to him placing my hand on his back.

"Man Ria get the fuck on somewhere." he said snatching away from me. I raised an eyebrow and ignored him. Maybe he had a bad day. I brushed it off and went to go take a shower. I ain't have time to be dealing with his attitude. I hopped out, and pulled on a over sized shirt and went to go lay down. I saw Rico looking through his dresser. I ignored it and went to sleep.
