CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Heaven I said i was sorr--"

"Hunter! When are you going to start realizing that a simple sorry isn't always going to cut it? What? You do something wrong but you say sorry. What am I supposed to do? Roll over and tell you it's okay?"

Hunter looked down at his shoes as if it was the most interesting thing he'd seen all day obviously knowing I was right and not knowing what to say afterward but I wasn't going to make it easy for him no not this time "answer me hunter'' I demanded folding my arms across my chest letting him know id meant business

"no " he answered still looking down at his shoes

I rolled my eyes "whatever hunter just go there isn't anything here for you''

"Does this mean you and I are over?" he asked

I looked at hunter in disbelief that he would even ask me that. one little lousy fight and he comes to the conclusion that were over I often find myself wondering if hunter had actually really been in a relationship before sometimes it's hard for me to even believe he'd been married before I sighed not even waiting to be bothered with him anymore "go with what you want hunter I don't care''

hunter was silent after some time and hadn't said anything for a while I got curious as the minutes had gone by so I looked up from my computer only to find him still staring at me with some kind of  look on his face I couldn't quite contemplate I rose my brow at him in question but all he did was shake his head at me than before i knew it he was gone

Wow

Was it really that easy? This had me wondering if Hunter had actually taken me seriously or was I just a beck and call for him. I sucked my teeth after he was gone but decided not to dwell on it. Was he really worth it? I think not so I simply got back to work keeping myself busy from thinking about hunter well at least I tried but the same question just kept swirling in my head

Was it really that easy?

A couple of weeks had passed since id last been at jen's house a couple of weeks meaning it's been well over a month but whatever at first Jennifer was confused as to why I was so eager to move out so suddenly and obviously I didn't tell her it had anything to do with her uncle being a dick but it didn't stop her from jumping to conclusions she, of course, came to some conclusion that it had something to do with her brother Jonathan I didn't confirm her suspicions nor did I tell her it wasn't true as long as she didn't suspect it was her uncle and I fooling around together I didn't care what was swarming around Jennifer's mind

As for hunter he texted me every single day to see how I was doing and of course, apologizing every single day even though I was over it by now he still did of course during the first 2 weeks id ignored him like the plague but I'd eventually given in I mean how could I not I loved him you may think it's too soon but I've loved hunter since I was in high school and my feelings were the same then as they are today even if hunter didn't love me now he could learn to along the lines of our relationship I had hope that he would.

But anyways hunter would text me every day and letting me know how his day was and what he'd done and what not I really thought when he walked out on me about a month ago he actually gave up but he quickly let me know he was giving me the space that I'd requested of him that's why I hadn't seen him in a month and that we'd only been texting because he was respecting my wishes and I loved that I was truly grateful I really wish I hadn't thought of the worst of him that day but if anything it taught me that I should just be more trusting

Right now I was getting ready so that I could be on my way for work yes you heard it right work I started about a month ago turns out I actually did get the job about 3 days after I applied I guess they were looking for workers and I came in at the right time and place I liked it it kept me busy whenever I had nothing better to do and what's not to like about earning your own money?

"Aaand done''i told myself as I finished putting on the touches of my lipgloss by the mirror I was ready to leave all I needed now was to grab my phone keys and bag then I was all good to go

As soon as I was done doing everything that I needed to do I grabbed a banana from the kitchen then made my way towards the door seeing as it was about time for me to head out anyways as I twisted the doorknob the doorknob was also twisting itself from the opposite direction letting me know it was either dave or my mom coming my bets were obviously on dave until I saw exactly who it was that had come through the door

"Mom! Your back?" I exclaimed in semi shock what exactly was I supposed to expect the woman was a known workaholic ever since dave and I were little believe me I loved my mother I really did but truth be told I never expected better from her when it came to being there for me or dave that's just how it worked between all of us and now that I was older it didn't even bother me anymore as much as it did when I was little

"Well of course I'm back gorgeous my daughters home why wouldn't I be?'' she said with a slight chuckle right before clashing my body against hers for a hug
now you can see why her enthusiasticness confused me cause if she was as happy as she's claiming to be to see me I could assure you she would've been home a month ago it was something else I knew it, it just had to be

"Okay well that's fine and all but I need to get to work it's only my 3rd week but we will talk when I get home alright mom? I love you'' I told her with a kiss on her cheek

"Alright honey just come home soon alright cause you and I have something really important to discuss your brother will be here also later tonight'' there she goes again with that bright ass creepy smile that had me wanting to know what was going on now but I could wait for the sake of my brothers at least

''Ok see you later mom''

''Ok see you later mom''
