"No, no!" I yelled at Riley as he chewed up my purse strap. "Gimme!" I reached for it pulling it away he started to bark.
I don't know what's gotten into Riley. He's been showing out the last couple of days while I've just been trying to spoil him. He would bark at all hours and then want to cuddle. I'm sure he's a boy so he doesn't have a period. I picked him up and rubbed his back.
"Why are you acting out?" I asked while walking into the bedroom, I placed him on the floor and slipped on my slides. I was going to pick up Travis from the airport. He finally started acting like I was alive instead of ignoring me. I never understood why he did that.
I picked Riley up and left out of my apartment.
I had so many thoughts. Travis and I were just friends for now but I didn't mind being more. I actually wanted to get to know him more and do more things with him. He was just a great guy. I hope this isn't all some act and he's a crazy serial killer. I just really enjoyed his company. He was different from Memphis.
I'll admit I did miss Memphis.
He was my first love and the first guy I actually spent time with outside just the state. That was a big deal for me. I actually traveled with him. I thought he was going to be my husband until he started the drugs. He just got to France and let himself go. He wasn't the same guy I knew. He proposed to me and I said yes. I was young and the ring was nice. It was the idea of being married to the love of my life. I gave him back everything because I just couldn't go through with it. I don't care when people say when you love someone you go through shit. Yeah, but I shouldn't have to if you love me. Life isn't perfect but I'm not going to spend endless nights crying because you can't get your act together.
Now, he's trying to come back into my life. I don't even know if I wang to accept him as a friend. I glanced over at Riley as he jumped into my lap.
I guess Riley was his apology. But, I'm not an easy forgiver. It takes months and maybe even years. I still have beef with this girl named Jessica from 2nd grade. She left the school and told people she wasn't going to tell me bye. Haters will hate. I don't care but if I ever see her again I won't even speak. My memory is like an elephant.
I smiled as Travis came over to my car he opened the back door putting his bags in then smiled at me as he closed it.
"Hey." He got inside kissing my cheek. "I missed you. The weather is so much better here."
I smiled at him as he grabbed my hand. "How was your flight?"
"It was long and boring of course."
"Yeah, do you want to rest before we get something to eat?"
"That doesn't sound too bad. You can see my place." He grinned while kissing my hand. "I know you'll like it."
