Kalel's POV
I was determined to talk to Anthony. After he left I decided to go visit his apartment.
2 hours later
I drove into the parking lot, and parked my car infront of the building. It was about 9pm. I didn't see his car anywhere. I waited for about an hour and then fell asleep.
11 hours later
I woke up and fumbled for my phone. It was 9am. My body still felt like it was asleep, so I flopped out of my car to enter the apartment building. The lady at the front desk asked me my name and if I needed to see anyone. I asked for Anthony Padilla. She pressed the button to an intercom thingy,
"A woman named Kalel Cullen is here to see you." A fuzzy rough sound came from the speaker,
"Don't let her up here." He muttered. I mouthed the words, 'it's urgent' to the lady, and she asked again,
"She says it's urgent," A loud sigh came through the speaker,
"You know what? Fine, let her up here." The lady buzzed the button for the elevator so I could enter. The doors shut quickly after I got in. Music was playing as I stood in silence. Soon the elevator stopped on the 5th floor. I walked down the hallway to apartment 18-E. My hand reached up to knock on the door. The door opened a crack, and then all the way to reveal a stressed looking Anthony,
"Anthony!" I leaped onto him and squeezed him tightly. His hands moved to my shoulders, gently pushing me away this time.
"Look, I really don't want to see you, but I guess we have to talk." He mumbled. He doesn't want to see me, that made my smile fade. We walked into his apartment and began to talk about everything,
"Kalel, I want to be a happy couple, but you need to stop using me as an excuse, and as something to show off. I'm not a toy. And I feel like the only reason you're with me is because of my money. Do you even love me?" Anthony's lips quivered at that sentence. I was uneasy.
"Anthony I "show you off" because you're amazing and I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be with you. I don't mean to use you as an excuse, I really don't and I'm sorry if I have. And I'm with you because you are a wonderful guy, I don't mean to come off as a golddigger. And Anthony, I really, really love you so so very much." I finished. "It's just hard with all the haters making it seem like I'm a total bitch, and that makes me act like a bitch and ugh, I wish I just ignored them more often, and I try to spend money on things we can do together, an- and-" Anthony pulled me in for a hug. He nuzzled his face in my neck as did I.
"I'm so sorry Anthony,"
"No, it's okay, let's just start over." Anthony pulled away, and brushed his fingers through my hair.
"Hi, I'm Kalel," I said with my hand out.
"I'm Anthony," He took my hand and shook it before he brought me into a soft kiss.
