NALIA'S POV
The whole time I was helping Garrett unpack, I would constantly glance at a box that reads "Emily".
"You okay Nal?"
My thoughts about it were interrupted...
"Oh...oh yea,I'm fine"
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm genuinely thinking about why you have so much stuff...it's insane."
"It's not just stuff...it's a collection"
"SoRrY"
"I'm gonna use the bathroom, you can take a break"
I approach the box nervously and breathe deeply before opening it. My jaw drops.
I take out the picture frame, a beautiful woman with light brown hair is at a diner with Garrett, who is kissing her cheek.
I didn't know how to feel. I feel confused for sure. I hear the toilet and quickly put the picture away. I sit on the couch and act normal.
Garrett came out of the bathroom and we finished unpacking the rest if his small things.
The "Emily" box was taken into Garrett's room. Mine and Garrett relationship means a lot to me, but I'm not gonna sit here and hope he slips up.
We were driving to a movie theater since we were over being inside.
"Garrett?"
"What's up Nal?"
"Who's Emily?"he stood silent and pulled into a burger king parking lot.
He sighed and took off his seatbelt.
He placed his head in his hands.
"How did you-?"
"I saw the box with her name on it and..."
"Nalia why did you look through it...why did you think that was okay?"he raised his voice.
"My thoughts got best of me Garrett..."
"That wasn't right of you to do Nalia"
"And how is it right for you to hide things from me...we are in a relationship remember?"
"That doesn't mean you can just go through my things."
He was right, it wasn't okay gonna of me but he shouldn't have kept it from me especially if I keep nothing from him.
I quickly grabbed my bag and got out of the car. I didn't want to get in a bigger argument and I didn't want to be around him.
I am confused, my thoughts of him being stuck on someone or just being with someone messed with me.
"Nalia get in the car..."
"As of right now Garrett I need time alone and I am sure you do as well."
