Rihanna

Me and Chris have been dating again for a few months now and I couldn't be happier. I didn't realize how much I loved and needed him in my life until we got back together. I think that this time around we will be together forever. The only thing I don't like about our relationship is that we rarely get to spend time together since I'm on tour and he's working on his new album 'X'.

Thankfully Chris planed a dinner for us tonight since we're both in L.A so we can see each other before I fly to Paris. I'm hoping that tonight is the night Chris will pop the question. I have been waiting for that moment forever and I'm starting to get impatient. I'm at the point in my life where I want to settle down and have kids but Chris keeps playing around. Every time I bring up marriage he either gets quite or starts an argument. All I know is he better put a ring on my finger soon because I don't want to be "Chris Brown's girlfriend" for the rest of my life. I went into my closet and picked out an outfit to wear to dinner. I chose a camo half shirt and jeans. When I sat down at my vanity to do my make up my phone rung. I looked at the screen and smiled when I saw Chris' name and picture pop up.

"Hey babe."

"Hey Robyn. What are you doing?"

"I'm getting ready for our date tonight."

"You ain't ready yet? Damn girl you need to start getting ready earlier."

"Perfection takes time."

"You better be ready when I get there. I'll be there in thirty minutes."

"I'll be ready."

"Okay, I'll see you when I get there."

"Bye babe." I said before I hung up and started to finish getting ready.

Chris

I sighed after I hung up the phone. I was nervous for dinner because I know Robyn will hate me after tonight. I've done a lot of thinking and I realized I can't be with her anymore. She wants to get married and have kids and I'm not ready for that and I don't think I ever will be. I love Robyn with all my heart but I feel like I'm leading her on because she thinks that one day I'm going to propose to her. I want her to find someone who will give her what she wants. Even though I don't want to see Robyn with another man I still want her to be happy. I've been talking to Karrueche a lot lately and I think that she is my type of girl. She is more worried about whats gonna happen tomorrow than whats gonna happen five years from now. When I break up with Robyn I'm gonna get back with Karrueche. I just hope Robyn understands.

One hour later

As me and Robyn sat in the restaurant we said very little. I could tell Robyn was nervous and excited which means she probably thinks this is an engagement dinner. It didn't help that we were eating on the balcony of the restaurant all by ourselves with roses and candles everywhere. Plus the stars were shining bright in the sky and I even saw a few shooting stars. At least we'll be in private if something goes wrong. I took a sip of my drink and thought about wheather I was doing the right thing. Robyn is a good woman and I could spend the rest of my life with her but it's something about marriage that turns me off. I sighed and Robyn looked up at me.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm good." I lied.

"Are you sure? You seem nervous." I could see a smirk trying to form on Robyn's lips and I wiped my hands on my pants. My hands always get sweaty when I'm nervous.

"I need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I can't do this anymore."

"Do what?"

"Being boy friend and girl friend." Robyn was trying really hard now to keep from smiling. She was getting the wrong idea.

"Because...you want to be husband and wife...right?" I sighed and shook my head no. The smile that was trying to form on Robyn's face turned into a frown and I noticed tears start to fill her eyes.

"What are you saying than Chris?"

"I don't want to be with you anymore." Robyn put her hand over her mouth and shook her head.

"No no no, this wasn't suppose to happen. We were suppose to stay together. What did I do wrong?"

"I'm not ready for what your ready for and I don't know if I ever will be."

"But why can't we stay together. I want to get married but I really wanna be with you."

"I want you to be happy and you want a ring on your finger and kids and I can't do that for you. I love you but if you find happiness with another man I'll be fine with it. I want you to be happy Robyn."

"I'm happy with you Chris."

"I'm only doing this because I love you. If I didn't love you I would keep stringing you along. Your a beautiful person inside and out. You'll find someone to love you in no time."

"And what about you huh? Who are you gonna be with now?"

"Karrueche." I mumbled.

"Karrueche?!? Really?!? You're gonna be with this popcorn microwavable bitch over me?!? Wow Chris."

"She doesn't pressure me about getting married and having kids all the time like you do. She lives life day by day like I do."

"We've known each other for eight years and I've been in love with you all those years. What do you expect? I deserve a commitment."

"I'm sorry."

"Fuck you and your sorry." Robyn said as she throw my drink in my face and got up from the table.

"Robyn wait." I grabbed her arm before she could get away from me.

"Get the fuck off me!"

"I'm not finished talking to you."

"Talk to your popcorn hoe!" Robyn yanked her arm out of my grasp and walked to the parking lot.

"I don't know where you think you're going. I drove you here remember?"

"Get the hell away from me!"

"I told you I'm not finished talking to you." I grabbed Robyn by both her arms and she struggled in my grasp.

"I heard enough! Don't you EVER talk to me again! I HATE YOU!" I let Robyn go and she gave me the look of death.

"You don't mean that."

"I mean it. I hate you. I wish I never met you and I wish I never fell in love with you."
