Lashontae

"Tae?"

Slowly, I came to and opened my eyes.

Steffon stood fully dressed with his luggage beside the door and his backpack on.

Oh shit, he knows about last night.

"I hate to wake you. I got an emergency though."

"What's wrong?" I asked stretching as I sat up.

"My mom had a heart attack. I gotta get home." He said as his voice cracked.

"Oh my God."

Quickly, I jumped up and raked my hair back.

"I had my people schedule a PJ out of here to get me back to Maryland. She's in critical condition and I need to be there...."

"Of course. You don't have to explain," I interrupted grabbing his hand, "I'm so sorry, Steffon. Wait, I should leave too. We came together."

Instantly, I went over to grab an outfit.

"No, stay with your people and enjoy your vacation."

"No, we came together. This is a couples trip."

He leaned forward and kissed my lips to calm my nerves.

"All good. You calm down and enjoy yourself, aight? I'ma keep you posted."

I sighed and nodded walking him to the front door.

"I'll be praying for you, your family, and your mother. She'll pull through."

He exhaled and closed his eyes.

"I hope so."

He let go of his luggage and hugged me tightly.

"I'm so sorry."

"Stop that," I replied in his embrace as I rubbed his back, "the last thing you need to be worried about is me. I'll be fine. Go be with your mother."

"I'ma call you."

He kissed me one last time and walked out of the door.

Now what the hell was I supposed to do here with all these damn in love ass people?

"Good morning." Kelly spoke as she approached.

I cut my eyes her way and walked to my room without speaking back.

"Did your man just leave? Where he going?"

"Home. His mother had a heart attack." I mumbled.

"Oh shit," she said shaking her head, "is she going to be okay?"

I shrugged.

"I take it you're still mad."

"Fuck you." I replied.
