"I wish I could unsay the words I said
I wish I could unsee the videos in my head
And if I, could untie the knot and
Unhear the promises that you forgot
Would I do that?
Would I?"
Unloving You~ Alex Aiono
And of course, that one week of give her time turned to a foul, endless two months.
Royalty laid in bed, Skies next to her. He'd become a great friend to her, cos God knows, talking to his friends would be like talking to walls that wanted to crush her between them.
"If you could unlove the nigga... would you?" That was the question of the year, and it fell from Skies's lips.
"I-I don't know. I never thought I'd have to... cos he promised... he promised that he was gonna dump her." Royalty's voice shook, and she was so confused and emotional about all of it. A comforting hand brushed her cheek, making her sigh heavy. She leaned to his lips, pretending that he was the four eyed asshole for a few seconds, but it wasn't the same, and Skies knew that. "You know it's time to stop when you hope I'm someone else. You don't want this anymore, Royal."
She frowned, "The pain won't cease."
"And I can only numb that bitch for a lil while, but even then, it's gon come back. Gotta get yo shit together Royal."
She wanted to individually slap every face tat off his face for being right. He soon got dressed and even though he didn't get any, he wasn't completely mad about giving her company. But as The man of the hour walked towards the door as he walked from it, a sour look was exchanged, but no words were. Brandon opened the door and took a deep sniff, and it didn't smell like she was covering up the scent of sex, so now he had questions. Why did she give Skies up?
"Babe?" Brandon called, walking to her room and leaning against the door frame. "Hey." He breathed, her looking at her ceiling for a moment, going to look at him with a sigh. "Hey." You would think she would yell at him, and believe me it was coming, let him say the wrong thing.
"When you become just friends with arts and crafts?" He asked, slowly making his way to her side of the bed. He placed a hand on her thigh using his fingers to walk up the smooth skin.
She shrugged in response, "Been like that for about a month now." She moved her body, turning her back towards him and sighing sadly. Skies's words rang in her ears. Would she unlove him if she could?
"What's wrong?" He asked all concerned, sitting next to her.
"When are you gonna dump Magic Carpet?" She asked, not looking at him.
"Just give me-"
"Time?Brandon it's been two months. How much time are do you need to break up with someone you don't even love?" She snapped, "Unless..."
"What? No! I don't. I'm just trying to find the right time." Brandon reassured, she turned over and sighed, "Just get out." She muttered, letting a few small tears fall.
"No Royalty, please. I just need to figure it all out." Brandon ran a hand through his dark curls, letting out a small, "Fuck."
"Get the fuck out!" She yelled, throwing a pillow at him, reaching for a shoe to throw. "You stay on that bullshit! Get out!" Brandon frowned, then winced as the heel hit his cheek. And he left her room, sitting behind her door as she yelled out to the ceiling in frustration.
This is a random change lmao
"You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
Look at how I'm feeling
You write me up and say it's love
And I can't believe it."
Detention~Melanie Martinez
Days past and Royalty sat on the couch, next to Edwin, having her head on his lap. His hand kept pulling a few braids to braid the braids together. She hummed at the feeling. "Thanks for cheering me up." She half smiled, lifting her head to meet his eyes. A sarcastic smile graced his face, "Who's lonely now?" She lightly slapped his cheek as she faked offense, him swatting her back, laughing a bit. But an 'ahem'. They collectively looked towards Brandon and Maggie. "You guys having a lot of fun." He told, Maggie sitting on the couch with Edwin and Royalty. "Hey Ramona." Maggie greeted. "Mr. Clean! It's nice to see you again." Edwin hid his laugh, Royalty smiling brightly at the couple. "Maggie, Royalty be nice." Brandon told.
"No, while we're here. Why would you make out with my boyfriend?" She asked with a grimace.
Royalty smiled, opening her mouth to speak as Brandon cut her off, "Royalty can you come here for a second?" He walked to the kitchen and Royalty followed.
"Don't say anything that'll give it away." He whispered. "You gon dump her?" She retorted, making him huff. "Please?" She walked and got a few bottles of tea and bags of chips, leaving out the door with a smug smile.
Edwin thanked her and she sat down. "I asked you a question." Maggie reminded. "Because I damn sure felt like it. And he damn sure let me." Her pale cheeks flared as Brandon gave her hard look, making her wink at him and swipe her tongue across her teeth. "Was there something you wanted to add, babe? How you grabbed my ass and pushed me on the bed afterwards? Oh, or maybe you wanted to tell her how you-" Brandon stood abruptly, making her stand also. "Sit yo four eyed ass down before I spill the real shit." She threatened, and for a moment the two had a stand off. Royalty tilted her head a little and challenged him with a giggle. "You are really fucking testing my patience Royalty. You need to chill out." Royalty bit her lip and smiled, "Aight playa, since that's what we're doing... Mildred, your boyfriend has bee-" She was abruptly cut of by Brandon sizing her up like he was gonna do something. "Nigga I wish you would do something. I would Mike Tyson yo shit. Bite yo ear clean off and shove it down yo throat so you can really hear the shit that come out your mouth." Edwin threw his head back and cackled loudly.
"Chill out." Brandon whispered. She whined out playfully, "No." Brandon knew he had to hit home, but it had to be something only they knew, but he didn't wanna say that yet. "If you don't, It's all over."
"At this point it may as well be out there. Maybe you'll keep your promises then." Royalty shrugged. Austin and Zion were looking from the steps. Nick was sleep in his room.
"Aight. Say it and Imma put you on blast bout what really happened between you and Luke." Royalty froze, and noticeably felt hurt that he was so hell bent on this secret that he was bout ready to say that. But she didn't care anymore.
"Marilyn... your boyfriend has been fucking me senseless long before and during y'all dating. He promised me he was gonna leave you and be with me. He loves me." She told the girl, looking in her eyes, showing sincerity.
"Royalty got an abortion and didn't tell Luke when she dated him and he still doesn't know. Not to mention she ended up getting Chlamydia from when she cheated on him." Brandon announced.
A better chuckle escaped her lips, "It wasn't Luke's baby, Bee... It was yours." And when with that, she was out the door and no other person moved.
