Love Isn't Enough (L.I.E)

Ch. 1: Back On The Market

Kourtney's POV

The school day is over and I'm in my empty classroom finishing up my lesson plans for the next day, which is Friday. Im so glad the week is coming to an end. I have nothing planned as usual but Im sure Ryan will change that. I mean he's great and everything, but he's just so smothering sometimes. Plus, we've only been dating for 3 months and he's already talking about going steady in a full fledged relationship....Speaking of the devil, here he comes walking into my classroom in his business casual attire looking fine as ever.

"Hey Gorgeous" He says, pulling me up from my desk and kissing my cheek.

"Hey Ryan" I say with a faint smile. He then grabbed me by the waist and held onto me for a little minute. He's sexy and all but I really don't feel like being bothered.

"I reallllly have to finish my lesson plans", I say while removing his hands from my waist.

"You can finish it later... I'll help you" he says with a smile. "No, you really don't have to do that, I just have a few more notes left to do then I'll be done in like the next 20 minutes. Is that cool with you?" I say while winking my eyes at him.

He grinned "Is today gonna be my lucky day, cause I damn sho' been waiting forever for it!", referring to sex. I decided against having sex with Ryan because I'm personally not ready. I haven't had any in about a good year.

I let out a small laugh, "Ryan, I already told you. No sex for right now."

"But why babe? We've been unofficially together for about 3 months now. It's hard seeing you in these pencil skirts and high heels all day" he said with hungry, yet pleading eyes as if he was begging.

"Exactly, we're unofficial. You just said it yourself so That must mean you understand." I said kind of annoyed.

"But this is how you want it, to take things slow. Right?.. Look Kourt, I really like you, and I want you to see that."

"Ryan.." I sighed because of what I think I'm about to say next. " Your a great guy, I think the problem is I'm just not looking for a real relationship right now. I mean I have work, and everything else going on in my life that I have to deal with, so I can't put all my energy into something right now", I lied. I just needed to find something to say so he can stop being annoying. In my eyes, once you become annoying, then there's no coming back. I officially tune out. And I think that's just where I'm at now with Ryan.

"So what are trying to say Kourt", he said with concerned eyes.

"Maybe we should just be friends." I then saw the disappointed look in his eyes. I felt bad. But I didn't want to lead him on if I saw nothing between us. "Ryan, your an amazing guy. We are just at two different places right now. I like you. But I don't want to lead you on when you can go find a girl who will fall in love with you." I took his hands into mine and searched his eyes hoping he would understand. He released a mesmerizing smile.

"Kourt, your amazing, you know that? You just literally broke up with me and somehow I thought it was the he sexiest thing ever." He laughed. I began laughing with him as well because it went better than expected. He pulled me into a hug, and I hugged him back. "I had fun with you, but I have to learn how to be just your friend now. Cause you sure are tempting girl." He said with a grin. I hit his chest playfully. "Oh stop Mr. Ward... So, I guess I'll see you around huh?" He nodded, hugged me one more time, and kissed my cheek before leaving.

I let out a big sigh. Relieved that I broke it off with him and also relieved he took it so well. I look at my desk and realized I didn't finished my lesson plans for tomorrow. Shit! I gathered my things and all my papers, and put them in the necessary folders and stuffed them into my large 'Louis Vuitton Neverfull' bag. "I'll just finish these tonight" I mumbled to myself. It was now going on 6 o'clock so I reply needed to get going. I turned out the lights of my classroom and locked the doors and headed towards my white 2009 BMW 528i. I'm not rich but let's just say I still have a lot of money left over from my mothers death and I don't make the greatest amount of money as a teacher.

Once I got home, I kicked off my shoes and put my things down on the couch and headed upstairs to my bedroom. I get undressed and put on my exercise clothes. I put on a black nike sports bra with some black tights to match. I got my dry-fit royal blue workout jacket and tied it around my waist just in case it got chilly. I decided I need to go walking tonight since I haven't in a while, but after I finished my lesson plans of course. I'll come back and take a nice long, much needed bath. I went into my living room, and spent the next 15 minutes finishing up my work. Once I was finished, I pulled my phone out my bad and seen I had a message from the only person who had my back for 5 years since I moved here to Atlanta. My best friend Salina.

👯Bestie Sal: Hey big butt! Haven't heard from you all day! I miss you bitch!
6:24 pm

I laughed because she always refers to her friends as bitches, but in a friendly way, if that makes sense. I then replied to back to her.

Me: Hey babe! I miss you more! I'm getting ready to go for a walk but I want you to come over tonight. We have a lot to talk about. And it involves me breaking it off with Ryan.
6:25pm

👯Bestie Sal: OMG! You know I'll be there! As long as you cook though cause a bitch kinda hungry. Since Travis works late on Thursday at his auto shop, I didn't bother to cook.
6:26pm

Me: Okay no problem! I'll be back from my walk around 7:30pm. So meet me here! You know where my spare key is!
6:27pm

👯Bestie Sal: Ok bitch see you later! Love you!
6:28pm

I laughed to myself and shook my head. I decided it was about time for me to go for my walk, so I put on my walking shoes and laced them up.
