The Essence Of Love

Paid In Full

"It's gonna be OK babe, I'm on my way." Amira says, the next morning.

"Ok thank you." I sniffle as I end the call. It's 7 am and here I am stuffing some underwear into my Louis Vuitton duffel bag on the bedroom floor.

Titan's ass slept in one of the guest rooms last night and ignored all of my calls, so I guess I'm leaving for real, it's whatever at this point. Everyone else has left me anyways.

"Aye, whatchu doin'?"

Speak of the devil.

"Nigga you said you don't want me here , so I'm out, fuck this shit!"

"Maaan, put that shit up, yo ass ain't going no damn where, don't make me fuck you up."

"FUCK YOU, DO IT!" I throw my phone at his face. He dodges it and walks over to me with that stupid ass smirk on his face.

"Oh she big mad huh?" He snatches my bag up and dumps everything out.

"Fine, I'll just buy what I need." I huff as I stand up and try to walk around him. I don't know who he thinks he is but I'm done with this shit for real this time.

"Where the fuck you going Essence?"

He grabs me by my waist and I try not to give into his sensual ass touch.

"Let me go asshole, I hate your disrespectful ass!" I mush his face.

"That's yo fault, you had me fucked up talking all that bullshit, I don't really want you to leave a nigga for real though, damn!"

"Get off of me Titan, I'm not playing with you! I don't want to do this anymore, your way too selfish and the way you speak to me sometimes is so disrespectful, I'm done! I have too much shit going on mentally to deal with your trifling ass, and who knows what you were doing last night!"

"Blah ,blah, blah, I'm a hood nigga Jhené, damn, how many times I gotta tell yo bougie ass that? That's just how a nigga talk, I don't be meaning shit like that with you."

"Whatev—"

"You know that you and TyTy are the only females a nigga need right? fuck outta here with that cheating bullshit, don't ever fix yo mouth to say that dumb ass shit, what I need random ass pussy for when I got who the fuck I want sleeping in my bed every night?"

"UHHHGG! Just moooove!" I punch at his chest, he grabs my arms and yanks me towards him as I start to break down in tears. I have to get the fuck out of here.

"Aight, aight, just chill, I'm sorry aight?" He rubs my back as I sob. All of the drama over the last few months comes flooding my memory as I breakdown...again.

" I can't do this anymoooore. Why meeee, I—I just want to be happy but everyone keeps leaving me, I'm fucking cursed!" I cry.

"it's gon' better, I swear. I'll give you whatever you want to make you happy , and you ain't cursed, stop saying that shit. I love you and I'm sorry aight?"

"I don't want your sorry, I want to leave!"

"You ain't fuckin' leavin--"

WHAP!

I swiftly slap fire from his ass and his face twists up. I'm in shock myself but I don't care anymore. He's letting me go this time. This shit is over because my sanity is more important than his ass.

"I said I'm leaving Ti--"

"You  lost yo fuckin' mind!"

He grabs me by my neck and shoves me up against the wall so hard, one of his decor pieces falls down next to us. He then snatches the belt of my robe loose and it falls open, exposing my naked body underneath. I try to push him away but who am I kidding. I know I can't resist his fine ass.
