jordan.after we finished having sex, i got off the bed and started putting my clothes on.
"where are you going?" symere wined.
he sat at the end of his bed looking at me like a sad puppy. he's adorable, i swear.
"i have to go home tonight, ion have no draws or clothes here." i said smiling at him.
"you can wear mine," symere said as he jumped off his bed and made his way to his closet.
"mere, you're crazy. you know damn well i can't fit any of your clothes. tryna make me go to work in high waters?" i chuckled.
"if it will get you to stay!" he yelled out as he walked up to me.
"ion want to leave!"
i grab his face and pecked his lips twice. i really didn't want to leave but i know that if i don't find myself at work tomorrow rakim will start asking questions.
"maybe i can sleep over tomorrow night?"
"fine," symere said flopping himself on the bed.
after i got dressed symere walked me to the door. i gave him a kiss on his forehead and walked out of his apartment.
when i got to vlone the next day i saw that rakim's cheating ass was in his office. he must have been waiting for me to get there because he was already looking at me through his fully glass office when i walked in.
god i hate that office. especially now.
i looked away and walked towards the kitchen to make a coffee.
as far as im concerned we are not together right now.
i need a break from him.
but of course rakim's dense ass can't take a hint and decided to follow me in there.
"hey......" rakim said waving at me, trying to get my attention.
i ignored him and continued to make my coffee.
"jordan, can you please talk to me. i swear this is all just a big misunderstanding. i do not communicate with tyler at all and i swear to god im not cheating."
"rakim if it's not about work leave me alone."
"leave you alone? are you breaking up with me?" he asked as he fidgeted with his hair.
his voice cracked as he said this and i could see his eyes watering, but at this point i can't tell if he is being dramatic or not so i chose not to entertain it either way.
"rakim i think we need some time apart. we both need to really think about the things we want."
i tried to walk out the kitchen but rakim grabbed me by the arm and prevented me from leaving.
"baby i know what i want." he said as he stared into my eyes.
"rakim.......what did i tell you about touching me. it's too early for me to be cursing you out, but if you keep grabbing on me i will act the fuck up in here. i promise you i will." i said glaring at him as i yanked my arm from his grip.
"baby i just want to talk. i really feel like—"
"we can talk in two weeks. until then, please respect my space and if you need me to do anything just have fatima tell me."
i walked out the kitchen and felt my heart racing. had i stayed in there with him any longer i would have fell for his bullshit.
i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss him because i do. i miss him dearly but i need to stand my ground. i also need to figure out if i even want to continue to be in a relationship with him because right now i just don't know. he fucks up too much.
