Her Keeper

Chapter 98

--Julliet Parris--

"Is Geo here?" I asked Elliott as soon as he opened the door.

"He's asleep." He informed me.

"Could I wait here until he wakes up?" I asked.

"Listen Julliet, regardless of the situation between you and my nigga,I don't appreciate how you've been treating him, so no, you can't come in and wait." He shrugged.

"I'm here to apologize." I tried to explain.

"Come back." He shrugged.

"Could I atleast explain myself?" I pleaded as he stepped outside and closed the door behind himself.

"Explain." He shrugged.

"I might have been petty and said some foul thing to Geo and I really want to apologize and make things acceptable for us."

"Make things acceptable for the both of y'all or just you?" He questioned. "The only reason you're here is because he left and you don't know where he left to, so you're just clearing your conscience by making sure he's ok."

He read me like a book.

"He's fine. With or without your apology."

He shrugged.

"You've fucked up so many times and he still bent over backwards, breaking his back to make sure you're happy, to make sure you're straight and the two times he slipped up, you're damn near ready to crucify him." He snarled. "You fucked your ex at a party when y'all just got together and again while you were pregnant with my nigguh's child and he still took your ass back and married you. Then, you went and had an abortion, without telling him shit and he forgave your ass. That wasn't enough, because you went out with Skylar's ass and got raped, even when he specifically warned you not to, but Geo still chose to miss an important exam to run to your hospital bedside after the fact. He stayed with you and helped you through your nightmares and depression after. Not only that, he killed Skylar's ass for you and paid for your therapy sessions.

Then, you started accusing him of cheating and he decided that he had enough and wanted a divorce, but you didn't, so it never happened. It's sickening to see how much Geovanni has done for you and you don't ever consider doing the same for him. That house you live in, he bought it. That car you're driving, he bought it. That building you own, he bought it. That business you own, he runs it more than you do. The Capital you had for that business, he gave it to you. He's done so much shit for you, but you still treat him like crap. I don't appreciate it. You gotta bounce, shawty."

--Geovanni Parris--

"You sure you wanna go in there?" Elliott as me as we sat in Julliet's driveway.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"You got other places to stay, Geo." He suggested.

"I can't stay with you and Thalia, man. Y'all got a kid and jobs. Y'all can't be bothered to take care of me."

"You could hire a help and stay at our place." He suggested.

"Nah, I'll just stay out of her way as much as possible." I shrugged.

"Cool." He hesitantly accepted.

After helping me up to the front door, Elliott left and went back to work.

I knocked and waited for Julliet to open the door.

She opened it and immediately assisted me inside.

I made my way to the dining room table and sat, watching as Julliet did the same.

She played with her fingers a bit, looking down at them before giving me eye contact.

"Geo," she begun, "I'm sorry about last night. I don't wish you were dead. I was being a bitch." She apologized. "I'm just bitter as hell, I guess." She sighed.

"Cool." I shrugged.

She nervously rubbed her hands together, looking at them like she did before.

"We're not divorced." She mumbled, keeping her head down.

"Whatchu' say?" I know I heard her wrong. I had to have heard her wrong.

"I said, we're not divorced, Geovanni." She repeated.

"What are you talking about, Julliet?" I questioned.

"The papers never went through." Her voice trembled. "I told my Dad to draft a fake one and to wait a bit, then tell you that it was certified and he did, but this wasn't supposed to go on this long." She rambled.

"You had me out here making a fucking fool of myself!" I yelled as I used my right hand and pushed a few things forcefully off of the table, making  her flinch. "I'm in two fucking casts, because of how hard I took that shit and how wreckless it made me!" I banged my right hand against the table. "Elliott's right about you." I scoffed. "You only think about your motherfucking self!"

"I never told your assyto drink and smoke yourself into oblivion!" She yelled back.

"There it is right there!" I pointed at her. "That fucking attitude!" I banged my hand against the table in anger again. "I want real divorce papers sent to me. I don't want to be married to a fucking demon spawn!"

"I'm a fucking demon spawn?" She yelled back. "We are not getting divorced by the way." She shrugged.

"I don't give a fuck about what Julliet wants anymore. I only care about what Geovanni needs." I scoffed. "You kept up this charade for almost two years and watch me almost lose my mind over it. You watched me almost lose my life over it." I croaked out as I began crying.

"I wanted to teach you a lesson." She defended as tears began falling from her eyes.

"Yeah?" I scoffed. "Well, what the fuck did you learn from it?" I questioned. "Because all I learnt is that I married selfish, manipulative bitch."

"I just wanted you to feel my pain, Geovanni." She continued to try reasoning this twisted shit out. "I didn't mean for it to go on this long—"

"Feel your pain?" I yelled, cutting her off. "A those times you did what you had to do and hurt me over and over again, who the fuck made you feel my pain, then?" I yelled. "You did your shit and I felt how I felt about it, while you just crawled back into my life and told me how sorry you were and you made sure to use the soft spot I have for you to get your way." I snarled. "But you want me to feel your pain?"

"I said I am sorry, Geo."

"Sometimes, I wonder why I didn't just pursue what I felt for Krystal. I pushed her to the side for you. I loved her." I confessed. "I really did, but I always loved you more." I shook my head at myself. "Maybe we wouldn't have had Krys, because she might've told me she developed Gestational Diabetes and I might've told her to let the baby go, because we could have more. She treated me better than you ever did." Her head was down, but I could still see the tears falling on to the table. "I had that one chance to let this shit go, but per usual, your joy was priority to me." I shook my head. "Now she's gone and I still can't find peace with you." I sniffled. "I'm so fuking stupid in love with you, that I've completely neglected my own joy and half of my sanity trying to keep your ass happy and I got nothing back for it. I want an actual divorce, Julliet."
