Both me and Jamal have both finished work and were walking back into our apartment in an awkward silence. He's no longer mad at me for not telling Tyree about us being together but we haven't made up yet either. Before work I decided to throw the flowers away to avoid anymore tension or arguements so hopefully jamal will get over them sooner rather than later.
NEXT DAY:
I was sat watching TV on the sofa in the front room as Jamal came over and kissed my forehead since he was leaving to meet up with Rhiannon to do his coursework.
Jamal: make sure you're ready to meet me for lunch when I'm done.
Me: I will be don't worry.
Demari: where's my invite?
Me: get yourself a girl and we can double date.
He started laughing shaking his head.
Demari: No thanks, it's a trap.
Jamal opened the door just as someone knocked it.
Jamal: what the fuck is this?
My heart rate increased by 100% as the delivery guy passed him a bouquet of flowers, much bigger than yesterday's ones. After he closed the door he read the note then looked back at me.
Jamal: imarni...
Me: who are those from?
Jamal: who the fuck do you think?
Demari: bro don't talk to her like that. You know she can't control him.
Jamal: I told you to speak to him about us.
Me: do you think that's going to stop him from doing this?
Jamal: well have you spoken to him about us?
Me: not yet.
Jamal: exactly.
He threw the flowers on the floor walking out. I don't want to speak to Tyree right now because I'm still mad at him.
Demari: what did he do?
Me: what?
Demari: the flowers from yesterday and today both say sorry on them. So what did he do to be apologising for?
Me: when he was drunk he admitted that he was flirting with the waitress on purpose.
Demari: so now you're mad at him?
Me: yes.
Demari: you know he's not going to stop sending flowers until you forgive him right?
Me: I don't care demari. He should never of done it. He knew what he was doing.
Demari: Jamal is getting more and more pissed off each day.
Me: I don't want to talk to Tyree.
Demari: Marni you need to.
I sighed out playing with my fingers.
Me: he's on holiday with his family right now anyway.
Demari: he's clearly thinking about you if he sends you flowers everyday.
Me: I'll talk to him when he's back.
Demari: so you're okay for him to keep sending you flowers everyday?
Me: do you think me telling him to stop is going to make him stop?
Demari: no but if you tell him you're back with Jamal he will.
Me: no he won't because he knows that it pisses Jamal off.
Demari: then what are you supposed to do?
Me: I don't know.
I took my phone out calling Tee to see if she would talk to him for me.
Tee: imarni?
Me: yeah?
Tee: Ty's on his way back now.
Me: what?
Tee: he's left and he's coming back.
Me: why?
Tee: because he's been in a mood since we got here and he's been starting arguements with everybody so my dad spoke to him and they decided that he should push his flight forward to last night so he's on his way back home.
Me: alone?
Tee: yes.
Me: why is he in a mood?
Tee: you tell me?
Me: I don't think me being mad at him would make him act like this with his own family.
Tee: maybe you should talk to him.
Me: I don't want to.
Tee: it's up to you. But I know you know exactly how he is, eventually he'll do something stupid if you let this drag out.
Me: when's he coming back?
Tee: he left last night so he should've landed by now.
Me: okay. I'll speak to you later.
Tee: let me know how he is because he's ignoring all of our calls.
Me: okay.
I hung up looking at demari.
Demari: you said you'll speak to him when he comes back... He's back.
Me: what exactly am I supposed to say?
Demari: You've known him all of your life, how do you not know what to say?
Me: because I don't want to hurt his feelings. I still love and care for him.
Demari: do you want to be with him?
Me: no
Demari: are you sure?
Me: I want Jamal.
Demari: you don't have to say that just because he's my friend.
Me: I'm not. I wouldn't of forgiven Jamal for what he did if I didn't want to be with him.
Demari: then you need to let Tyree know that.
Me: it's not that simple.
Demari: why not?
Me: because I don't want to see him hurt or angry.
Demari: you can't keep lying to him.
I looked at my phone confused.
Me: Jada's calling me
Demari: isn't she at work?
Me: hello?
Jada: guess who's here?
Me: really?
Jada: yup.
Me: alright, thanks.
I hung up going to put my shoes on.
Me: Tyree's there.
Demari: call me if you need to.
Me: thank you.
I walked as slow as possible because for some reason I was scared to talk to him. I know Jamal wants me to and it's the right thing to do but I'm still scared for his reaction. I just don't want to do this.
As soon as I walked in I saw him sitting at a table with his suitcase beside him so I sat opposite.
Me: hi
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE AND COMMENT! ☺️
