Triangle

Split

"You know you ain't going nowhere
Baby we been in this shit too long
Stop playing, you know what it is
You know you gone end up in this bed and I'ma
Throw It Back, Back, Back, Back, Back
You'll forget why you were
Mad, mad, mad, mad, mad
The shit you say you'll take it
Back, back, back, back, back
Fuck me like you're sorry
Show me where your heart is"-Ann Marie

INDIA POV

"Where's Sam? Why'd you come here without her?" I put my keys in the bowl on my dresser, creating space from and avoiding eye contact with Kiah. Once you look at her or give even a little, it's over. She's too good at using sex as a way of making up and I'm not in the mood for the shit today, especially not without Mara.

Kiah stretched her arms, smoothing the comforter in front of her before tucking her hand under her chin, looking up at me. "She's working late at that smoothie place. I got lonely, then I remembered how I have another girlfriend to keep me company." She smiled slyly.

"You know I'm still pissed at you! It's just like you to pull some shit like this, you just gotta take advantage of every grey area and abuse every loophole. We never discussed boundaries and I still need time."

"Fuck all that India! You know exactly what you want, you know how shit go between us and as far as boundaries go there are none come on now you keep overthinking and it only leaves you mad longer than necessary and hung up over little meaningless things. You avoiding shit that's inevitable, we always fight then we fuck and it's over don't act like you forgot."

          My brows furrowed in frustration. "If we doing this again we not doing the same shit we did last time! It's boutta end the same way if we not different. That's not how I wanna communicate from now on, period. We keep disrespecting each other and going back and forth stressing each other the fuck out I don't want that anymore."

Kiah's eyes widened as she adjusted on the bed, putting her legs underneath the comforter and sitting upright. "I don't want that either. I've always expressed my love for you more though physical means, that's always how we found our way back to each other. I just love you India, more than I feel like I can express through words. I don't want to lose you ever again."

I sighed, "And you won't. I just don't wanna have sex when we still got all this shit to work out and we're not on good terms."

Kiah unfolded the cover next to her, beckoning me to come join her. "Well can you at least lay by me so I can go to sleep?"

I walked toward the bed and gave her a peck on the cheek. "I will after I shower." I turned on the light in the bathroom and looked back at Kiah patiently waiting for me to return. "And Key?" She perked up out of her daze and looked at me adoringly. "Yeah?" she almost whispered. "I love you too."

I closed the door behind me as a flood of old feelings came rushing back to me like they did when I first saw Sam again. Was I falling for her?
