Inside Brooklyn

CHAPTER 87. EXCUSES

Four weeks rolled around quick. I found me a cute little town home near miami beach. I knew i had a lot of money saved up but i still thought it was best for me to get a job. I took on a part time job at the downtown bar. I was still in my first trimester of my pregnancy so i was still small. The tips was great and my shifts went by fast. The other day i got a call from Chance saying i had a couple boxes of clothes left at his condo. I knew it was just a excuse for him to see me.

I walked into the front doors of the golden towers. Keri looked shocked to see me. I could just laugh in her face. I rubbed my belly and kept walking. I knocked onto Chance's door and Ken answered. "Look who we got here, Chance in the back." I walked passed Ken and into the condo. The place was a mess. Even though Chance and i was no longer together i still wore my ring. He told me to keep it so why not. I wore it on my right hand instead of my left. I walked to the bedroom and didn't see Chance. I saw two boxes on the floor with my name on it. As i began to pick the box up Chance grabbed it out of my hands. "You shouldn't be doing any heavy lifting." "Well my car is parked out front." Chance grabbed the other box and headed for the door. "I'll be back bro." Chance said to Ken as he walked out the door.

"You don't wear your ring anymore?" Chance asked in a low tone. I held my right hand out so he could see the ring. "I miss you Trina and i messed up I admit that 100% i love-" "Chance just stop , You didn't love me when you put me out on my ass with nowhere to go."

Chance sat the boxes in the BACK seat of my car. "I almost forgot." I pulled a key out my pocket giving it to Chance. "It's your key to your condo. And i left that necklace in your drawer." "Why it's your's." "I don't want it. It's just a reminder of what we use to be." "You still have the ring, that's not a reminder?" It was a nice ring, maybe when i go broke i could sell it for a nice amount. I opened the driver door , Chance closed it back. "I'm leaving Chance." "Do you love me?" I ignored Chance's dumb question. He knew i loved him. "Do you?" "I love you but we don't need to be together right now. You said it yourself." "Where have you been living. I know your running out of money. Stop playing this game." If this was the way he thought he was gonna get me back he had no chance. "I got a job and a place to stay Chance. I don't need your money. Now fucking move!" I got into the car. Chance walked to the passenger and got in. "Will you please get out." "No , Where are you staying?" Chance demanded a answer. "Trina i was under a lot of pressure. I felt like you betrayed me. So i had a weak moment. I made you look stupid and i broke my promise. I really am sorry." 

Chance pleaded. "I'm your girl your not supposed to have me out here looking dumb. Especially with that bitch!" Chance face began to light up. His little grin was turning into a huge smile. It was pissing me off. How could he just laugh at my feelings. "Why are you smiling i see nothing funny." "You said your my girl. I haven't heard that in a minute. You still have feelings for me." I couldn't lie , Chance was on my mind a lot. 24/7 actually. 

I always wondered did he move on. Was him and Keri a thing now. Did he ever think of me? "I still love you. But recovery don't start over night." "We can take baby steps." "I always find myself being let down. I don't want that to happen again. But i do forgive you." Chance caressed his hand on my cheek as he pulled me in for a passionate kiss. Our lips separated but it seem like Chance wanted more. "I have to go." I stated. "Can i see you later?" "I don't know." "Well if you change your mind will you call me?" "Yes."  

I got back to my house and laid out on my couch. My life was like a hood lifetime movie. Everything seemed so complicated. I loved Chance but maybe we moved to fast. Now i'm pregnant, So i couldn't just delete him out of my life like i did men in the pass. Maybe I should go see Chance tonight. We need to get a understanding of what we are.

I guess i would take Chance up on his offer. I accomplished so much in this little time. I wouldn't just give it up because Chance had a change of heart all of a sudden. RING!...RING! I got a text message from Chance.
