I Will Always Love You

Chapter 8 Trying To Reconnect

Brandon

It's been six long months since I have last spoke to Za'niyah, I tried reaching out to her for a while now and still no response. I miss her, and I am sorry for everything that I did too her, I know she hates me but I just want her to be mine all over again.

I've spend the last couple of months just dreading on everything single day hoping for her to send a simple text or a call. I have lost my faith, and I am just ready to move on with life.

I started to date a girl that I met in December and we have been together 4 months now, she isn't anything like Za'niyah, but I had to get someone new too forget her.

It's been stressful with Asia around also, she thinks just because she's carrying a baby and she believes it's mine, I'm obligated to do everything for her. I'm helping her out because I don't know if it is my baby or not, but when she pop that baby out I'm demanding a DNA test.

"Bran"

"Yeah Bev?"

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Nothing baby, come here to daddy."

I liked Beverly but she just wasn't Za'niyah. She knew how to make me feel good but not as good as Za.

"So baby I was thinking we could go to the mall today."

"For?"

"To just shop... I need a new outfit."

"We went shopping yesterday Bev."

"I knoooow, but I wanna go again daddy."

"Girl, you always want something, but we can go."

"Yaaay, now give me a kiss."

Beverly was the wild, money hungry, always want someone to spoil her type of girl, while Za was humbled, laid back and let things flow.

"So can we go now?"

"Ok Bev."

It was now 3 in the afternoon and this girl could not stay in the house, always wanted to go out and spend my money.

"I'm ready."

"Rd I'm coming let me get my keys."

What the hell was she in a rush for, to spend all my damn money? I hope she don't think I'm taking her into no Gucci store, she can stop herself. All this money getting too her.

We got into the car and headed to the mall, this was about 10 to 15 mins away.

We got out, and walked in holding hands.

"So where we going?"

"Um I was thinking Bloomingdale's."

When she mentioned that, I instantly thought about Za, damn I wonder how she's doing.

"Rd.."

"You good baby?"

She was starting to get on my nerves, all in my face and holding on to me, I just wanted her to be chilled and laid back, not necessarily always in my face, I like my own space too!

"Yeah, I'm just not in the mood right now."

"Oh ok, well I just want to get something, and we can go home."

"Ok well here's my card, don't spend all my money now, I'll be at the food court."

She leaned towards me and gave me a kiss. "Ok I'll meet you up there."

I was happy to get rid of her for right now, I just didn't know how to get Za'niyah off my mind.

I made my way to the food court to get a pretzel. As I was in line, I spot Kayla her friend sitting two tables away from where I was, with a man. This must be a sign!
