I found a Reggie you guys(MM). *unedited*
Regine Iman Thomas
Just like before, i've been doing more and more work. I've even paid to take a few more dance classes this week to stay distracted.
I was constantly praying for the best but expecting the worse when it came to my mother. Rah said she wasnt doing any better since we talked the first time. He bought me a ticket and I leave tomorrow so I was currently packing.
As I went through drawers to find clothes, I randomly would find something I stole of Joey's to wear and worry myself about where he's been and why he hasnt answered to me yet. He apparently didnt block my number like I thought but he does a good job at ignoring my calls.
I dont even know why I was still trying.
"How long do you think you'll be gone for?" Nicole asked me. She had come over because Denzel was gone to work and she didnt want to be home alone.
"I dont know" I muttered lowly. I wasnt really in the mood to talk nowadays.
"Have you talked to JoVaughn?" she asked me while scrolling through her phone.
"No" I mumbled.
"You miss him dont you?" she asked.
"No duhh Nicole."
"Question" she said sitting up.
"Shoot."
"Did you guys ever consummate?" she asked me squinting. I paused and stayed quiet. Her eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh Regine. Why didnt you tell me?"
"I didnt think it was important to share" I chuckled.
"Reggie you let him into your lady parts. Of course it was important to share" she frowned.
"Sorry then."
Nicole smirked. "Was it good?"
I blushed. "Noneya."
"Come ooooonnnn share some deets!"
I zipped my lips. "I dont kiss and tell" I grabbed another shirt throwing it into my suitcase.
"This is so weird. My baby Regine is out here taking pipe" she fake cried. I threw a shoe at her.
"You are so weird" I laughed.
"Sorry, I feel motherly towards you Reggie. I love you like I birthed you."
"You've only known me for a year and a half and you're only four years older than me."
"True. Okay well I love you like your my little sister that I adopted" she said after thinking for a while.
I just shook my head with a laugh.
"He's stubborn but he'll come around. He loves you so much Regine. As much as he tries to pretend he can, he can't live without you."
"Thats so cliche, he's doing a pretty good job at it, and I doubt he loves me that much if he just dumped me as if it were no issue" I chuckled.
"JoVaughn has a pride issue along with the fact that he's always expecting people to hurt him. He's so angry with Denzel because he feels that he's the only person that would have never done anything to him. He feels the same about you but since Denzel messed up, he feels like you would do the same."
"But I wouldnt. He knows that."
"Of course he knows that but he's in his feelings and by dismissing you and trying to make it seem as if you really wronged and betrayed him, makes him feel like 'well at least I pushed her away before she really did hurt me'. JoVaughn has a weird brain" Nicole chuckled.
"Why arent you a psychologist?" I asked her.
"Because i'm still in school for it. Give me a few years and i'll have my own practice" she marveled.
"Touché" I mumbled taking what she said into consideration.
"Are you sure you want to go?" she asked me while watching me look for stuff to pack.
I looked at her annoyed. "My mother is dying. Of course I wanna go" I continued throwing clothes into my suitcase. Nicole just stayed quiet and watched tv. Thank God.
"Reg, your phone is ringing" she handed it to me. I picked up after seeing it was Rah.
"Hey" I said to him.
"Hey, umm are you packing?" he asked me.
I stopped for a second. "Yeah why?"
"Sit down" he said. I furrowed my brows.
"Why?" I asked with a chuckled.
"Reggie sit please" he pleaded. I did as he said.
"Okay?" I said unsure of what was going on.
"Instead of coming tomorrow, i'ma exchange your ticket so you can come next weekend" Rah said.
"Why?"
"We're having the funeral" my heart stopped when I heard the word funeral. No. She couldnt have......she was just....no.
"No. No. No. You're kidding right?!" I was crying. She was dead?
"Regine she passed this morning" he confirmed my fear. I dropped the phone and sobbed. My vision was blurry. My ears were ringing. I couldnt breathe. I felt numb. I couldnt believe this.
My mother was dead.
She was gone.
And I never got the chance to say goodbye.
I felt all of my senses slipping away as I cried, although I could feel Nicole's arms embrace me and her trying to calm me with words.
She was really gone.
