A Player Remade (Sequel to A Player in the Remaking)

Chapter Thirty Three

It's kind of awkward though. We use to talk about everything and be the happiess couple on earth. I don't know what happened, but me and my girl are distancing apart and I don't think I like that.

"Carina, can we talk for a second?" I asked once she stepped back in the room.

She snuggled under the cover and began eating a single slice of sausage pizza. "Of course, what's up?"

"Have you noticed anything different in our relationship?"

She shrugged. "Why you ask?"

"It feels like we're not as close as we use to be. Something feels different between us."

"It's obvious that our relationship isn't what it use to be, Criag."

"What do you think is causing this?"

"I'm not even gonna front, you're causing this," She said, finishin up her pizza. "All you do is ignore me and hang out with your boys, and when you're not hanging out with them apparently you're too busy to spend any time with me. You're not romantic anymore, all you want do is fuck then after that you leave."

"Carina-"

"No, I'm not done. I don't even feel like this is a relationship anymore. You don't treat me like your girlfriend, Craig."

"Babe, I know that I'm busy most of the time, but I try my hardest making time for you. That's why we're on this vacation, right?"

"Please, Craig. Don't give me that bullshit! This is the longest conversation we've had this whole trip. If you're not with the guys then you're on the phone texting who ever. I'm starting to get sick of you're bullshit. It seems like you're cheating."

"So now you're doubting my contribution to this relationship? This is why I don't like being around you! All you ever do is complain and nag all the damn time. I don't have time doing little kid shit. Me and you, we're in two different time zones. I'm damn near twenty one and you're only seventeen! It's not fun sitting at home on a Friday night cuddling while you can be out partying. That shit was fun when we were both in high school, but it's not anymore."

"Then why are we together if you feel that way? I'm sorry that I'm too young for you, Craig. Maybe this whole relationship was a bad idea from the start. I should've known better."

"What are you trying to say, Carina? Do you not want this relationship anymore?"

"I don't know." She mumbled.

"As much love that I showed you and you going out like this? I know I'm not the perfect boyfriend, but-"

"But nothing, Craig. You just explained to me about how we're in two different time zones, maybe you're right. I don't want you to be the perfect boyfriend and never do. All I ever wanted was a effort in this relationship, and lately that's been hard for you to give. I loved you and I still do, but I don't have time for you to play with my heart. That's one thing I would not alow anyone this world to do to me. If you wanna party all the time, that's absolutely fine. You can do all that while you're single."

"So this is it for us?"

She nodded her head. "I think we should take a break. Things just aren't working out."

"How long is this break going to be?"

"I don't think we should ever get back together," She whispered, holding my hand. "It's time for you to do you."

"Carina, you can't just to this to me. I promise, from now on I'll do everything to make you happy. Please, just please."

"I'm sorry, Craig. This hurts me to, but we just can't keep going on like this. I'm not happy in this relationship anymore and I know you aren't either. I love you and probably will love you forever. I just can't keep going on like this and I know you can't either."

I couldn't even say anything. All I could do was hold my head in my hand and let the few tears fall. Man, I love this girl. I should've done better to keep her happy. I can't even be mad at her like I wanted to be because I know exactly what shes talking about. I didn't think this day was ever going to come. I thought that she would love me no matter how I was acting towards her. I was just going through some things.

"I'll go stay in the room down the hall. Please don't come, Craig. I think we both need some time away from each other. " And with that, she grabbed her phone and left.

None of this seemed real until she left. Once she left, I felt my world just crumbling down.

November

Bruh. Life is good.

Tre and I went to one of the near by zoo's in Mexico. Seeing some animals that they didn't have in America was cool as hell. Spending the day with Tre was cool as hell also.

Things have been so good between us. We're still friends, but we're building that girlfriend and boyfriend relationship. We both agreed to take it slow and just have fun with each other in the mean time. I was fine with it, he was fine with it. It was all good.

"Aww, look at the little moutain lions!" I exclaimed, clutching onto Tre's hand.

"You're making them sound adorable." Tre said, chuckling.

"The baby ones are really cute, Tre. Don't lie."

"Not as cute as you though." He retorted, picking my cheek.

I covered my face as I started to blush. "Stopppp."

"Don't hide your face, ma. It's so cute when you start plushing."

"No it's not! I get super red and I don't even know how. It's not like I'm lightskin! I'm dark as hell!"

"November, chill. You're like two shades away from being lightskin."

I laughed. "Why does everyone tell me that I don't think so."

"Well it's true."

"Thanks, honey bunny."

"Oh my lord, please not in public!"

"Aww, why not?" I pouted.

"Becuase that nickname makes me sound sweet."

"But you are sweet."

"Only for you. I gotta act tough for these niggas out here so they wont think they can get what's mine."

"And what exactly are you talking about?"

"You."

I smirked. "You can stop now, Tre."

"But I'd rather not."

I grabbed his hand. "C'mon, it's starting to get dark out and we still have to catch a cab back to the house."

"Ugh, if I could spend the night with you here I would. It's been a great day. We could even sleep next to the mountain lions."

"So we could get killed? Oh no. honey."

"You ain't gonna get killed, boo. You know ima be there to protect you."

"No, I'd rather be at the crib, chillen."

"I don't know who yo boogie ass won't let me sleep with you."

"One I'm a crazy sleeper and two I like being by myself at night."

"Why?"

"It gives me time to think about everything. It's kind of depressing but relaxing at the same time."

"So when you and your husband get married you gonna kick him out?"

I shrugged. "Nah, I'd probably just take really long baths to get my alone time."

"Good, cus when we get married that shit ain't happening."

"Shut up, Tre! You're so damn crazy." I giggled.

"Only crazy for you."
