I was putting fresh sheets on my bed and straightening up my room, when I heard my door bell ring.
"Who the fuck could it be?" I asked myself, walking over to my bedroom window, and peeking out the curtain.
When I saw who it was, I hesitated before making my way down stairs.
"Man what could this bum want from me?" I mentally rolled my eyes so hard and the thought of having to be in the presence of this clown.
I slightly opened my front door, peaking my head out, and mean mugging the figure that stood in front of me.
"Why are you at my house Rodney?" I questioned, my face all twisted up, making it obvious I wasn't happy to see him.
He gave a small wave, with his signature halfway smile, before responding.
"Damn, no hi...not even a how have you been? I mean we ain't spoke in a cool minute, you not even gon invite me in?" He asked, trying to open the door wider, but I pushed him back.
How he just gon try and force his way in, like we on good terms or something.
He smacked his lips, giving me a pleading look before speaking up again.
"Come on Lucas, I know I fucked up and that's all on me. Just let me explain myself at least, and if you're still mad at me I'll leave you alone for good, I promise." He begged, clasping his hands together, almost as if he was about to start praying.
I thought for a long while, just standing there mugging him, as I processed what he said.
I rolled my eyes and opened the door wider so he could make his way in. I decided it wouldn't hurt to let him say whatever it is he had to say.
"Make it quick, I don't want you in my house all day nigga." I mumbled, leading the way up to my bedroom and he followed behind me, as I expected.
He sighed, flopping down on my bed next to me, sitting a little too close for comfort if I do say so myself.
"All right...I guess ima just jump right into it- I was feeling you for a while now. I think it started around sophomore year, that's when I really started to notice you." He paused, taking a deep breath before started up again.
Everything he said so far, already had my heart beating a mile a minute, I wanted him to stop talking so I could pretend this never happened, but a part of me wanted him to keep talking.
"I didn't understand why I felt that way about you, but I did and I couldn't help it. I knew that-or at least I assumed that you wouldn't return those feelings, because at the time I thought you were straight, so I bottled up my emotions for you. That's why I acted the way I acted, when you started to show interest in ole boy. It upset me that I wanted you for some time, and he just comes along-next thing I know you're actually entertaining him." He spoke more to himself, almost as if he was reliving these moments right before my eyes.
This is all news to me, I would've never guess that Rodney of all people had a crush on me, this was something I definitely didn't see coming.
"When I suggested that you string him along, it was because I assumed you had no interest in men whatsoever, I never thought I'd have to worry about actually losing you to him. So when you started to spend time with him, I'm not gonna lie...I was jealous as fuck, but the way I handled that was wrong and I deeply apologize for that. I fucked up our friendship because I was mad that another beat me to the prize. Truth is I love you, and I don't expect you to say it back-I just had to get that off my chest." He finished, staring me straight in the eyes, his vulnerability peeking the his once tough exterior.
I was speechless, I couldn't find the right words, I didn't wanna say the wrong thing because as mad as I am at him, I still care about him.
"I-I don't know what you want me to say Rodney. I mean you just dropped a bomb on me, and I'm still in shock right now." I spoke, my words getting jumbled along the way out of my mouth.
He grabbed my hand, placing it over his heart, still keeping his eyes on mine.
"I don't expect you to say anything, I know this may be overwhelming and I'm sorry for putting this on you, but I had to be real with you. This was eating at me for weeks, I couldn't lose you again." He finished softly, and I could've saw him lean forward a bit.
Now that I think about it, everything is starting to make sense. All of his actions leading up to this one moment, adds up now.
I was lost in thought, thinking about everything that he said trying to understand how I missed the signs-I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt a hand press against my face, and a soft kiss against my lips.
This unexpected action, caused for me to jump back from him. My eyes bugling out of my head, as I watched him closely.
"Rodney why'd you do that? I-I don't feel that way-we can't do this, it's not right." I voiced, scooting off the bed, and going to stand by my door.
I mean I know he's not aware of the fact that me and Sammy are official now, being that I haven't talked to him in a while, but it still doesn't feel right with me.
"I'm so sorry-it was in the spur of the moment! I swear I didn't mean any disrespect, I just-" I stopped him before he could finish though, not wanting to hear him talk any longer.
Not necessarily because my mad at him, I'm just overwhelmed with this situation and I don't want to deal with it right now.
"It's okay Rodney, j-just please go, I need some time to myself." I mumbled, our eyes locking and I could see the hurt forming in his.
He opened and closed his mouth, not being able to form a sentence. Walking towards me, he went to grab my hand but I pulled it away before he could.
"But Luc-" I shook my head, indicating that I didn't want to hear it.
"Please just go, I'm not mad-I just need time to process everything...please." I begged, opening my room door so he could walk out.
Instead of speaking, he simply nodded his head before walking out of my room and eventually out of my house.
Bringing a hand to my lips, still not being able to believe what just happened.
"Only me, shit like this would only happen to me." I sighed shaking my head, before going over to my bed and throwing myself on it.
