Accepting You

"Why is that so hard for you to understand?" Nasir questioned as he stepped closer, his gentle yet assertive gaze never leaving her face. "Or can you just not accept it? Let me know so I can move accordingly, Jordyn."

Her breath hitched at his last words, feeling like he'd just pushed her down. "I- I can't accept it, Nasir, I can't accept you."

"Why?" He furrowed his brows, his chest tightening at her admission.

"None of these things have ever happened to me until you showed up so accepting you means I have to accept everything you come with and that's fucking hard." She stated sternly, her tear-filled eyes watching his expression turn from one of confusion to one of hurt and maybe even anger. She didn't even believe her own words but she didn't know how else to get him to leave her alone.

"Aight." He didn't argue or try to convince her otherwise, he just picked up his phone and exited her apartment, the door shutting behind him and leaving her alone again.

Forced with the responsibility of growing up quickly, being riddled with tough decisions alone, and having a strong and stubborn head, 21 year old Jordyn goes through the motions of her young adult life, wondering if things could get any worse. She pushes her own needs to the side with the hopes of ensuring a secure future but will she be able to focus on her path and accept the new presence of someone who is her opposite when he's suddenly pushed into her life?

Life wasn't easy but his life had never been hard, allowing 22 year old Nasir to be eternally grateful. As a young artist in the music industry, he continues to keep a good head on his shoulders, stumbling upon a girl who intrigues him more than music does. Will he be accepted into her life with his gentle demeanor or will it do nothing but add another commitment to both of their lives?
