"What are you doing here?" I asked angrily.
"Well, it's nice to see you again too, Leah." He walks inside the house uninvited and takes a look at the place. I roll my eyes and close the door.
"Lord, give me strength," I say to myself.
"Wow, I didn't think you'd live in a house like this but I guess I thought wrong of you," he says still looking around.
"I guess you did think wrong,"I said as I grit my teeth. As he continues to give himself a tour of the house, Josh comes down stairs with just his Adidas sweatpants and slippers.
"Who was at the door?" Josh asked. I smile and walk up to him.
"Josh, this is Jacob my ex. Jacob, this is my boyfriend Josh," I said, emphasizing the word "boyfriend". Jacob has a shocked and angry expression in his eyes but tries to hide it.
"Nice to meet you. It's nice to know that someone is making Leah happy," Jacob says shaking Josh's hand, still hiding his anger.
Jealous much?
"Yeah, nice to meet you too. Leah has told me about you," Josh says. Jacob looks at me and smirks.
"Not like that Jacob," I scoff.
Jacob chuckles. " Well, you guys have a nice house. Um, Leah can I talk to you in private?" I roll my eyes and nod my head.
"Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" Josh asks worried.
I sigh."Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm sure Jacob won't do anything irrational." I give him a peck on the lips and Josh heads back upstairs.
Me and Jacob head to the living room and sit down on the couch. We sit there in pure silence.
"So, what did you have to talk to me about?" I ask.
"Well, I'm not gonna sugar coat it, but I want you back," Jacob said looking into my eyes.
"You're kidding me right?" I scoff.
"No I'm not. Look, I want you to come to New York and live with me for about 2 weeks to see that I've really changed." I couldn't believe what he just said. All the chances I've given him and now he wants me back?
"Now you want me back? After all the chances I've given you and now you think you got one? No, I'm not going through another heartbreak again with you, Jacob." I was standing up. Now I was angry.
"It won't be another heartbreak, I promise," Jacob says sincerely.
I sit there in silence."Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do have a sudden interest in me now? Is it because I live in a nice house or is it because I've moved on from your bullshit?" I question him.
"I've always had an interest in you!"
"Apparently you didn't when you fuck my cousin Keke!" I screamed.
"That was a mistake and I should of never done that. I was young, dumb and I was in college! You do a lot of stupid shit in college. It's a natural thing," Jacob defended himself. I started to cough.
"Why are you coughing?" Jacob asks worried.
"I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit. It's not a natural thing. Yes, college is a time to be free, have fun and do whatever you want. But college is also a time to learn how to be responsible and know how to do things on your own and not rely on other people. But college is not a time to have a fuck fest!" I was really angry now.
"Look, I said I was sorry," Jacob said.
"A "sorry" doesn't fix it, Jacob."
"I don't know why you're acting like a bitch about it?! I said I was sorry and I want to prove to you that I've changed!" Jacob said angrily.
"Don't you dare call me a bitch! You know I was kind of considering going to New York with you but now fuck it! I don't wanna go anywhere with you!" I yelled.
"Fine! Act that way! See this is why I had sex with Keke 'cause she not as crazy and boring as you!" Jacob yelled back.
"The reason I'm not like her is because I don't wanna end up pregnant at a time I don't want to be. Keke is known in our family for being loose and wild. Once she sees a guy that catches her eye, she just seduces him and ends up having sex with them. And she did the same thing to you," I simply said. Then I feel Josh's hands touch my back.
"I think you need to go," Josh says with a stern look.
"Fine. But Leah, think about my offer," Jacob winks at me as he heads out the door. I sigh as I slid down the wall, burying my head on my legs. I cry softly.
"Leah, are you okay?" Josh asks gently.
"No, that was horrible. But then again, I feel better 'cause I've always wanted to say those things to him," I said looking at Josh. He brushes the tears off my face and then pulls me in for a tight warm hug.
"Okay, you can let me go now. Your muscles are literally choking me," I laugh slightly. He chuckles and just brings me to the couch and we just hold each other.
