Start from the beginning
                                        

"Why is that?" I questioned.

"It's brought us closer together. Now, I really take the time out and listen to you. Not saying that I didn't before..." He laughed. "...but now I truly understand you. I understand your thought process. I look at things from your point of view. We were blinded by the sex. It was a distraction. I see why we had to break up now. We were physically infatuated with each other. It was becoming too much. But now that we're doing this celibacy thing, I'm falling in love with you mentally." Rome explained as I nodded my head.

"And spiritually." I added.

"Your spirit... I'm still trying to figure it out." He told me while I looked confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked him as I started to eat my food.

"I feel like you have a lot of things going on. Sometimes I feel like there's stuff you're hiding from me. But maybe I'm thinking too hard about it." He said. He looked at me like he could see right through me. Like he knew about everything that I had been doing behind his back.

"I'm gonna be honest with you. I have some stuff going on. Stuff that I don't necessarily want to share with you yet. But I'm working on myself. I'm getting myself right for you because I want to be with you eventually." I told him while eating.

"So what's stopping you from being with me?" Rome questioned.

"I have some inner demons that I need to deal with. I've been doing things lately that I would never consider doing before. And that's not fair to you or our future relationship." I explained to him.

"I see. Well do what you have to do baby girl. I'll be patient with you. I don't want you to rush for me." He said with an assuring smile.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"And whatever you got going on, I'm sure I won't be mad about it. It's the honesty that I appreciate the most." He said while eating.

"I really appreciate how understanding you are. I definitely see a change in you. You weren't like this before." I told him.

"That's because I'm not blinded by the pussy anymore." He chuckled while I laughed. "If we were still having sex, I would be jumping to conclusions. Probably be about ready to fight every nigga I saw you with. He could be a classmate that decided to sit next to you because there were no more seats. I would be in there posting up."

"You're a mess." I laughed while shaking my head.
