Come See About Me

What Does This Mean

ERICA POV

"I'm sorry Cyn" I say after listening to her and seeing her cry about the situation with Joe

We're sitting across from each other on the bed in the hotel room .. She looks beautiful as ever and I can't stop thinking about how much I want her right now . I'm trying to be a good friend and I don't wanna take advantage of her while she's in an emotional state

"I don't even know why I'm surprised .. I knew this would happen" she says wiping away her tears

He really doesn't deserve her

"He ruined the whole night .."

"Not the whole night .. I mean you ended up here with me after all" I say with a smile

"Thank you for being here for me Erica .. I really appreciate it"

"It's no problem Cyn . I'll always be here for you . I know things weren't always so great with us before but I want things to be different now"

"Yeah me too .. I'm glad that I ran into you that night . Even when we weren't in a good space I always thought about you . I always thought we would end up together in the end but everything was just so crazy with us. It's like every time we got to a good place in our relationship there was always someone that came between us"

I still can't believe I let Nikki come between us back then . Cyn and I were supposed to be forever .. I wonder how she would feel if she found out Nikki and I kept in touch .

"If I could go back and change how things ended between us I would .. but we can't focus on that Cyn .. we have a chance . Look at us now .."

"Yeah look at us now .. we're in a hotel room together because my man didn't wanna have sex with me"

"Well we already established that he's an idiot" I say

"I told him we needed a break"

That's a little shocking

"Really?"

"Yes really . I'm just tired of feeling unwanted and I'm tired of being disappointed"

"I'm sorry that he makes you feel that way .. you are wanted Cyn and I wish I could show you how bad I want you right now"

She just looks at me and says nothing .. I immediately regret saying it

"I didn't mean to say that" I say

She just gets up from the bed and goes into the bathroom and shuts the door

Great Erica .. you just had to ruin the moment

I lay back on the bed and just close my eyes ..

I shouldn't have said anything .. I should've just been a supportive friend

I hear the door open back up and I quickly sit back up

"Erica you don't know what you do to me .. you say things like that and it makes me want to do things to you that I know I shouldn't . After all this time we been apart you still have an effect on me and my body"

Well that's because you belong to me .

"There will always be a connection between us Cyn .. Our love was deep"

She walks over to me and stands directly in front of me

"The relationship I have with Joe is already complicated enough .. I don't want to ruin the progress we made as friends Erica but I have to be honest ..." she pauses

"Okay .." I say

"I was hurt that Joe turned me down tonight but I already expected it . The truth is I was actually hoping he would turn me down so that I could call you"
