"How have you been ever since I left?" I ask De while we were the only two living bodies at the lonely beach. We were sitting on the bench and watching the water move in the darkness.
"Well when you first left it was kind of hard letting you go that easily. Yeah we talked over the phone but I needed you there. My creative process wasn't flourishing that well. But I got over it." He says while eating a skittle.
"Mmm." I say taking a sip of my sprite.
"What happened in 93?" I ask and I notice De look at me with pain in his eyes.
"Long story... but I got robbed and I almost lost my life that day." He says and I notice him look only at the water when he said that.
"I- I'm so sorry to hear that." I say
"Ain't your fault. You didn't know. I take pills for the trauma and the pain." He says and my eyes open wide. Pills?
"Pills like pain killers?" I ask and he chuckles.
"Nah... Xanax." He says and I look at him weirdly.
"Ohhhh Okay." I say scratching my head.
"How you been?" He asks me and I start to smile widely.
"Great actually... graduated Juilliard top of my class, working on my music one step at a time, basically living my dream the best I can." I say taking some
of De's skittles.
"Nyla." De says while looking at me
"Yeah?" I ask
"I love you. I really do..." De says and I stare at him
"I love you too Donald." I say playing with my hair.
"I need you. And now that you're here... we can maybe finish what we started..." De says leaning towards me.
"Uh I don't know..."
"Shhh." He cuts me off and kisses me. The kiss was too much for me as I started to get horny. But I pulled him off of me.
"I-I it's been four year-"
"It's been four years and fate called us here.. right now... in this moment. You know the saying that if you love someone you leave them and if it's meant to be they'll come back? You came back to me. We're destined to be together." He says and I think about what he's saying.
"I don't know..." I trail off
"If you're worried about my hoe ways then I'll drop all my hoes for you. Just.. take me back." He says
"I'm not worried about your hoes or your ways. I'm worried about myself." I say and he breaths deeply.
"Please." He says and I sigh.
"Since you're begging... fine." I say giving in and he starts to smile.
"So you're my girl again?" He says and I nod.
"Again? Nah You was always my girl." He says and I start to laugh.
"But before we have sex... I'm gonna need you to check if you are HIV positive or not because..." I start to say and I notice De glare at me.
"What?" I ask and he sticks up his middle finger.
"I don't have HIV." He says
"You don't know if you have it though. You can say you don't have it and then oops you catch the disease." I say and he kisses his teeth.
"Whatever." He says and I laugh.
"But how's your son? Justin?" I ask him remembering that he has a child
"Justin is fine... he loves playing with his sister Dyana." He says and I look at him confused. Sister?
"Sister?" I ask and he nods.
"After you left, I became helpless. So I got another girlfriend. She was really good but things didn't work out after I found out she was pregnant. We're really good friends though so there isn't anything to worry about." De says
"Crazy." I say.
"But you don't gotta worry about about Babymamas and all that." He says and I nod.
"I don't know if we are gonna work out because I live in Michigan." I say and looks at me
"You don't have to live there, you can stay in my house in Cali. You can move in." De says and my eyes bulge out.
"Don't you think we are moving a little bit too fas-"
"No strings attached." De says and I glare at him.
"Why would there be any strings attached?" I ask and he shrugs his shoulders.
"When you leaving Cali?" De asks
"Next week Saturday." I say and he nods.
"Call your moving boys because I guess you're gonna be staying with me. I lost you one time... I'm not gonna lose you again." De says standing up from the bench.
"Actually you lost me two times... this is your third shot." I say reminding him of the time he cheated on me with some hoe named Tamara and then got her pregnant with their son Justin.
"That doesn't count." De says and I roll my eyes.
"It does." I say walking away from him and going to the water.
"Why you looking down at the water like that?" He asks while wrapping his arms around me.
"This is too much for me to handle." I say looking up at the moon.
"I gotchu... you don't have to worry about anything once you're with me." He says looking down at me and I smile up at him. Something about him changed and I can't put my finger on it.
