Rita

 This has been a crazy week, and I don’t think it’s going to get any better. Honey has moved in with me away from mom, Ty, and the baby, and I don’t know if she’s going back. Sevyn called me telling me “we need to talk”, and Lauren is still messing around with August even though he is engaged, and living with his now fiancé Giselle. This is just too much!

Why isn’t Chris answering his damn phone, he said my wallet was in his car and had it with him. I’m outside, and he isn’t even here. There is a car outside though. Maybe it’s one of the guys, I’ll just knock.

I hop out of the car walking up the walk way in this blistering LA heat when the door cracks open, but no one comes outside. For some reason I feel like this is a set up, but I need my damn wallet! I slowly creep in the apartment opening the door wider “Hello? Keeis? Red?”

“No it’s just me…” Teyana says lowly coming out of the den. I don’t know whether to say hello or start fighting!

“What are you doing here?” slips out of my mouth before I can remember what manners are

She lifts her hands “I thought Chris told you Rita. My boyfriend and I got into a fight and Chris let me stay for a while. I’m just here until I find a new apartment. Nothing is going on us, I have my room, and he has his. I promise…I thought you knew” she speaks lowly taking a seat

“No he didn’t tell me, and that will be our next conversation” I reply sitting my keys on the counter “Do you know where he is at least?”

She stands again going into the kitchen “He had to paint a mural or something for a friend of his. Not sure of their name, but he said his battery was low and to tell you to call when you got here. I saw you outside and called the number he gave me to reach him.” She plops back down on the couch with some ice cream in hand, and I finally notice her eye.

I think she notice me staring and looks away….

She finally speaks “It’s not as bad as it looks….I’m okay…”

“Teyana I know you and I aren’t BFF’s or anything but I really hope you find a way to kill that bastard.”

She gives a low almost fake smile “I just hate that I can’t stop thinking about him….by the way your wallet is somewhere in Chris’ room. He said you’d know where to look.”

I give her a smile before walking off into Chris’ room for my wallet. I know how it feels to be so hurt, but still want the man that you love unconditionally. You know it’s not working, but you keep pushing for what you think will eventually work out. You’re scared to start over. It’s almost like you start loving them more than you love yourself….

*phone rings*

I look down at my phone to see Chris is calling. I quickly answer….

Rita: Chris what the hell! Where have you been!

Chris: My battery died baby, my bad. I finally found somewhere to charge it. Did you get your wallet out of the side drawer?

Rita: Chris you can’t tell me to pick up something, and then not be here…and then you forget to tell me important details about your new living arrangements…

Chris: Huh?

I go over and close Chris’ bedroom door

Rita: You should have respected our relationship and told me Teyana was staying here! How do you think that makes me feel Chris?
