I had fucked up. Not telling Leo about the kiss was a bitch move. I mean I should've known  Victoria was going to bring that shit up. Women can be foul as fuck. As I drove back to my apartment, I tried calling him again. He kept sending me straight to voicemail.

"Leo pick up this damn phone and let me explain myself. You really just gonna walk away from a nigga. Nah. We ain't leaving it like this. Pick up" I groaned leaving another voice mail.

Arriving back at my place, I headed inside. As I was stepping into the elevator, I felt my phone vibrate. Quickly, I pulled it out hoping it was Leo.

"Baby" I sighed.

"Boy, what the hell is wrong with you?" my mom asked.

"Nothing. What do you want?" I muttered pressing the button for my floor.

"Don't make me reach through this phone and slap you. Talk to me like you got some sense" she stated.

"Sorry" I sighed.

"What's going on with you?" she asked.

"Nothing. Leo and I just got into a fight" I exhaled stepping out the elevator.

"Mmm" she hummed and I could hear the distaste in her tone.

"Don't start" I muttered.

"I wasn't going to say anything. You already know how I feel about the situation" my mom spoke.

"Yeah the situation is my damn relationship, and trust I know where you stand" I scoffed opening my door. When I stepped in I was surprised to see Leo sitting on the bed in just a towel with his head down.

"Well you-" she started but, I cut her off.

"I'll call you back" I murmured before hanging up the phone and closing the door. The sound must have startled him because he jumped a little.

"Oh hey," he whispered standing up and looking at me.

"Oh hey," he whispered standing up and looking at me

"Hey. I would have thought you went back to your dad's place" I said.

"I was but, I think we should talk first. I heard all your voicemails. So explain" he told me.

"It was just a kiss. I stopped that shit before it could go any further. The reason I didn't tell you was because I was selfish. You hadn't decided if you were going to come down here yet. I knew if I told you what happened that would be the excuse you needed to jet" I hummed.

"You never gave me the chance!" he exclaimed.

"Man I ain't stupid. Don't let the fact that I have conversations with trees confuse you. I see you" I argued.

"What are you talking about?" Leo questioned.

"Your ass has one foot in and one foot out the door! You are always looking for a reason to punk out of this relationship! In the beginning, I understood. All the baggage and shit but, now we five months in and you still the same. Then today when you learned about the kiss you were ready to throw it all away over a mistake!" I snapped getting pissed.

"That isn't true" he muttered.

"Man whatever. You more shaky than a ho hiding from her pimp" I scoffed.

"You lied to me" he sighed.

"I'm sorry but, it isn't a big deal. I didn't sleep with her and look where I'm at....with you" I exhaled.

"It is a big deal! You can stand there and say I'm acting like a bitch but, you don't understand. All these people are in my ear constantly telling me how we shouldn't be together!  Your family! My family! Your exes! All of them trying to destroy what we have. Then I go and find out that while I was in Texas, you kissed someone and didn't tell me. Which is nothing compared to how dumb you made me look defending you" Leo spat his skin turning red from how mad he was.

"So what you wanna do? I ain't ready to walk away from this, are you? After I told you I loved you. After I put myself out there and shit. Though what am I saying, your ass has been waiting for a moment like this" I laughed but, ain't shit was funny.

"Stop saying that bullshit. You know how I feel about you" he groaned.

"Nah. I don't. I know how you claim to feel about me but, I've been putting myself out there only to get nothing in return. So, maybe I should be the one to just end it. Seems like we really ain't getting anywhere" I whispered grabbing my keys and heading back toward the door.

I was tired. I knew that I hurt him but, it was nothing compared to what I felt every time I said those three words and got nothing but, damn crickets in return. I loved him but, it was pointless to stay in the same cycle if nothing was going to change. I deserved better.

"Stop" he called.

"I need to go smoke" I responded. I had to release this stress before I exploded forreal.

"No, stop okay" he murmured grabbing my arm. Turning around I looked at him.

"You messed up and I overreacted. Your right, I was using that kiss as an escape. I love you and I'm sorry I didn't say it earlier. I'm sorry" he whispered. I stood there a little shocked. I mean I was fucking speechless which was a first.

"Hmm fuck" I groaned.

"I got you like you got me. I love you Jaysean" he repeated and that shit sounded like heaven.

3 updates in 1 day, that's what I'm talking about. 😜 So, Leo finally said it. How are we feeling? As you guys saw in this chapter these two still have a long road ahead of them. They aren't out of the woods yet.

As for Jaysean not telling Leo that Victoria is transgender, I did that for a reason. When someone tells you that they are gay or trans, they are trusting you with a secret about themselves. It doesn't give you the right to tell others about it. Some people don't want everyone to know. That's why I didn't write him telling Leo about that. It wasn't his secret to tell.

Anyways, next is sex and maybe some more drama but, mainly sex. Leo is only wearing a towel after all.😄
