The Chronicles (A Celebrity Love Story)

Chapter 29: Promise Me

* Ebony's POV *

Laying there next to J on the couch & watching television. I loved being in his arms, I loved him period. I looked up at him & he smiled. He was basically moving in, he would spend multiple nights in a row there & my closet had become full with half of his clothes & shoes as company.

Ebony: Do you love me?

J Cole: Of course I love you.

Ebony: Do you see us getting married one day?

He turned his head quickly once I asked that question.

J Cole: Let's not discuss that right now.

I looked over at him with his blank face. I grabbed his arm from around me. I looked at him.

Ebony: What do you mean? Just answer the question.

J Cole: I don't want to discuss this right now.

Ebony: Well, we damn sure are. It's a question that needs to be answered!

J Cole: Damn Ebony, I love you ain't that enough?

Ebony: I see us married ONE DAY! Tell me honestly.

J Cole: Hell, I don't know! You go over everything so fast. It's only been about 2 months! Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

He shrugged his shoulders & got up. I stood up & next thing I know I slapped him.

Ebony: What? I'm not good enough to be married one day to you? I'm not future wifey material to you? Everything just goes you're way & on you're schedule?

J Cole: Shut the hell up.

He walked towards the kitchen & I followed him.

Ebony: Is that it? When you say jump, I jump? You're in control?

J Cole: You know what? Most likely hell no you can't. I'm in control of whatever happens in MY life.

He grabbed his keys & slammed the door. I looked out the window & watched him pull out the driveway. I walked inside the bedroom & opened the closet. I grabbed all his clothes & threw them inside my car. I drove all the way to his house, & placed the clothes on his grass in the yard of his house. I took a piece of paper & lighter & lite the paper. I threw the paper right on the clothes causing them to immediately burn. He pulled up & ran towards me.

J Cole: What the fuck Ebony?

Ebony: Fuck you!

He stared at his burning clothes & I walked towards my car. Pulling off, I felt a mix of feelings. I never expected this to happen.

3 Weeks Later...

I grabbed my keys & opened the door. Standing in front of me was J. I didn't think he would ever pop up at my house again, especially after the burning clothes incident.

J Cole: I do see myself marrying you.

Ebony: What?

J Cole: I want you there, with me, in front of everybody, getting married.

Ebony: J?

He grabbed me & kissed me. It was such a blur to me. I had burned his clothes & everything, only for him to pop back on my doorstep. Now, he was kissing me. We walked inside & started taking off each other's clothes. There I found myself wrapped all up in him. Once finished, we laid there cuddled up with him falling asleep.

Ebony: J?

J Cole: Yeah?

Ebony: We don't have to get married anytime soon. I don't want you to feel pressured.

J Cole: Okay.

Ebony: But, promise me something.

J Cole: What?

Ebony: Promise me, no matter what happens... You'll never leave me. You'll always be here.

J Cole: I promise.

He kissed me & closed his eyes.

J Cole: Now, let's go to sleep.

He grabbed me right back into his arms. I didn't know if he was my permanent, but I loved my current & never wanted to leave him. I closed my eyes.
