"Tell me because I've said it all
I've got a feeling we must've hit a wall here
And baby boy please, tell me like it is
'Cause you talk 'nuff but you never act on it"-
Amber marks

I lay back and close my eyes as I feel the bubbles and warm water gently move around me. My playlist playing in the background, letting my mind wonder I think about my summer plans, although my summer lasts until the end of September, I'd like to plan a few trips besides the work trips I'm taking, going to New York and Florida for this paid internship I've recently been hired to. I'm really excited, this is a great opportunity for me to educate myself about the career I'll be going into.
As my eyes start to feel heavy I hear a loud knock on the door "HEY! You better not be falling asleep in that damn tub hunny, I'll bust your ass. There's other bitches in this house that need to wash their asses too!" Luca yells from the other side of the bathroom door, scaring me "yeah whatever, I'm getting out" I say as I stand out the tub to dry off, I hear his footsteps walking away. I wipe the condensation off the mirror, and take a good look at myself, since the "break up" I've lost all my "relationship weight", I don't look as tired or sad anymore and definitely not nearly as pathetic as I did before, if I'm being honest I not only look better but I feel ten times better as well, I mean don't get me wrong, there's those moments when I miss him like crazy, I even blamed myself at first, thinking me wanting to take things slow pushed him away, or my trust issues? But I'll never know the truth, so I just have to keep moving and let it go.
I walk out the bathroom and down the hall into my room, I throw my dirty clothes in the hamper, I grab my laptop and my planner I got from work so I can look at my schedule for next week. and then walk into the kitchen where Luca is standing in his florescent pink track shorts, with his shirt off flexing for a Snapchat "I see your back on your shit" I say as I sit down at the island and open my laptop, pushing my glasses back up my nose "what's it to ya?" He reply's as he takes another one, this time pointing the camera so both of us are in it "stop, my face is red, and you can see all my stress acne" I say hiding my face behind my screen while I open my planner "too late, gotcha" he says as he typed out a caption "hanging with my best bish" he says as he smiles and opens the fridge "you think your cute don't you?" I ask "yes, yes I do so do all the boys too" he says as he turns his head to me and winked "whatever" I say as I laugh and throw a balled up piece of paper at him "I can hook you up, I know PLENTY of single boys that like some cushion" he says grabbing a bag of carrots and dip "No thank you" I say as I shake my head. In return he shrugs his shoulders "and why not? Don't gimme the "I'm focusing on myself" thing, Re I get it, you were in love with him, but you moved on, you deserve to be happy way more than he does" he says as he dips a carrot and hands it to me "ok well I'm sorry but it's the truth, I just want to be left alone, is that too much to ask" I say as I bite into the carrot he nods "you know he still watches my snapchats right?" He says staring into space as I type away on my laptop, answering an email from my boss "who cares? Is that why you posted that??" I ask finally looking up from my screen
he nods "yep sure did" he says "why? You think he actually cares enough about me? He couldn't even properly break it off with me" I say as I grab a pen to write down this information from my Email "he should care about you, and what he did, I want him to have a constant reminder" he says as he pushes off the cabinet and walks around the island to my side, wrapped by his arm around my shoulder "your my best friend Re, and I'll always want to protect you, but also hurt the people that hurt you" he says leaning his head on mine "I love you too lulu" I say "ok so subject change" I say, quickly wiping the tears out of my eyes "how would you feel about going to Florida for two weeks with your best bish" I ask looking up at him "oh my god! Yes!" He says squeezing me hard "I'll pack my bags" he yells as he runs off I shake my head "goodnight" I say as I close my laptop

"You tell me all the time baby
I'm the light in your life
And you love me more each day
You are starting to drive me crazy
Why won't you realise you gotta love me right baby"
