"If you want him you can keep him Nyla. Just stop fucking with my emotions." Ronnie says while pacing back and forth like my song.
"I am with you! You know I love you Ronnie!" I say in response as we are now arguing over DeVante again.
DeVante and I have been on okay terms since we must do this only for the tour. Ronnie on the other hand, hates our interactions and is now jealous. I thought I made it clear that DeVante and I were done for good. I guess not.
"Then why did you hug him on stage if you loved me?" Ronnie asks me and I turn my full attention to him.
"It was just a publicity stunt Ron." I say shaking my head.
"Publicity stunt my ass. Nyla you got me fucked up." Ronnie says while clenching his fists.
"Stop with all that yelling and cursing my nigga because I am not with it. I didn't do shit but hug him and you're acting like I went in the bed with homeboy" I semi-yell and I notice him glare at me.
"I wouldn't be surprised if y'all did. Y'all do share the same tour bus." Ronnie says bluntly and I feel my body grow hot.
"You know what, fuck you." I say as I begin to become upset.
"I don't care. Go fuck DeVante. Matter of fact, we done." Ronnie says and the words shock me.
"Done?" I ask in disbelief
"I stuttered? You've been playing with my emotions this whole relationship. I felt like a rebound from De. The love isn't fucking genuine and it hurts because i really love you. I don't wanna be a second choice in your heart. I know you still love him and I can't change that." Ronnie says and I feel my eyes begin to water.
"But I do love you.." I say in response.
"No you don't. You love the thought of me." Ronnie says and I shake my head.
"You'll be fine." Ronnie says and with that he walks out of the auditorium that we were inside arguing.
I felt pain run through my body as I realized that I lost something important to me. I decided to walk out the auditorium and outside, to ease my mind of course.
As I walk outside I noticed an empty bench so I decided to walk over and sit down. My emotions were everywhere so I immediately started crying.
I vowed to never cry over a boy again but I don't know what happened.
Still crying, I noticed someone sit on the bench next to me. I didn't know who it was because his head was down but his presence was familiar to me.
"Nyla? Why are you crying?" The familiar voice says and I realized that it was DeVante.
"I'm not crying." I say with a crack in my voice and I notice him laugh.
"Then what are you doing? Sweating in your eyes." He says and I start to lightly chuckle.
"Ha ha ha very funny Donald." I say and I hear him gasp.
"It's been a while I have heard my birth name." He says and I look up at him.
"Okay." I say trying to make him stop talking to me.
"Why are you crying? I know we aren't on the best of terms but I don't want to see you hurt." DeVante says and I shake my head, beginning to laugh.
"You know that's funny because that's what you did to me this whole relationship. Hurt me." And in response, I notice him Kiss his teeth.
"Always with this shit." He says shaking his head, beginning to get up from the bench. I didn't want to admit that his company was very useful but the pain he put me through over powered it.
"Ronnie and I broke up" I say, beginning to feel confused as the words fall out my mouth.
I notice him look at me.
"Foreal?" He asks
"Yeah." I say
"Damn... I'm so sorry." He says and I shrug.
"I don't even care. I'll be fine." I say and I notice him look at me.
"You sure?" He asks
"Positive." I respond feeling awkward because of the conversation.
Something came over me and I didn't know what exactly to do. My stomach was filled with butterflies as I started to realize that I wasn't hurt because Ronnie and I broke up. I was hurt because I didn't love Ronnie the way I loved De. Everything came into sense as I notice his hazel eyes look at me with concern. My mind was telling me no like R.Kelly, but my body was telling me yes.
"Nyla... why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" He says, starting to rub his face and I smile, licking my lips.
"Your face is fine." I say
"Okay" He says while rubbing his hands.
I felt something tell me to kiss him but I didn't know how to start it.
I looked him dead in the eye and he looked at me back. My lips traveled towards his and we kissed, making full contact. The moment felt surreal.
He lets go and I notice him sit there in shock.
"I- I don't unde- I don't understand." De says, beginning to sit back on the bench.
"Don't talk, just listen." I remark and I notice him start laughing.
"Get out of here!" He yells and I start laughing
"Bad timing?" I ask
"I love you. I'm sorry for everything." De says and I shrug my shoulders.
"I forgive you but I don't want a relationship with you. Just friends like we are now. That kiss didn't happen. I don't know what came over me." I respond and I notice him shake his head.
"Damn." I notice him say.
"It's just too fast and my heart hasn't healed." I respond.
"If your heart hasn't healed why did you date Ronnie?" De asks me and I honestly didn't know the answer to that question. Why did I date Ronnie?
"I honestly don't know." I respond.
"Listen, ima always be here for you. Whether you like it or not." De says and I smile at him.
"Likewise I guess." I say
"So we friends, like real friends?" De asks
"Real friends" I remark, shaking his hand.
The feeling was so genuine. Nothing forced. I honestly missed him but I was afraid of being hurt.... again. But third time is a charm right?
