90's Hearthrobs: Male Edition

Always & Forever - Tupac Shakur

Unedited! Sorry for mistakes.

I lifted my head off of the pillow and frowned as my ringing cell phone woke me out of a deep slumber. I glanced over at my sleeping boyfriend Ronnie, who stirred in his sleep, upon hearing the faint buzzing & grabbed it off the bedside table.

I squinted looking at the number and slid on my slippers, heading for the kitchen. It was a number I hadn't seen in a while. It was Tupac, I guess he was back from his tour. I hadn't talked to him in months, should I answer it? Curiosity got the best of me & I gripped my phone between my fingers deciding to see what he wanted, even if it was bootycall hours.

Me: Hello?
T: This Tupac. It's been a while Nae
Me: Yeah, it has. What's up though? Why you calling me at 2am?
T: The tour ended tonight & I just wanted to see what's up witcha, since you been ignoring a nigga and whatnot
Me: Pac, I haven't been ignoring you. A phone works two ways, you weren't checking for me either. You made it clear before you left that there was no US anymore 
T: Shit I know did, but I miss you Nae. These groupies got nothing on you baby doll. These money hungry bitches & video hoes they ain't shit. We had something real & I was too stupid to see that then. I just wanted to say I miss you Nae, that's all...
Me: Well um.. I— Thank You Lesane
T: A'ight goodnight, I'll hit you up later
Me: Preferably not at 2am next time please
T: (laughs) No promises Nae 

I hung up and placed my hand on my forehead. What was that? He called me out of the blue to tell me that he loves me? He'd never said that to me before, even when we were together. I was in love with Tupac at the time he broke my heart, but that was 5 months ago. I had moved on. Hadn't I?

Ronnie walked in the kitchen lazily scratching his neck, while rummaging in the fridge for something to drink. "Everything cool baby? Why you sitting in the dark?" He asked as he eyed me, taking a sip of orange juice straight out of the bottle. I hated when he did that.

"Yeah babe, everything's fine. Just thinking is all." I said as I fidgeted with my cell phone. "Oh, okay. Well who was on the phone?" He opened a bag of Cheetos and popped some in his mouth while he waited for my reply. "It was my mom, she couldn't sleep so she wanted to talk. She told me to tell you that she said hello" I lied, grabbing some Cheetos out of his bag to lighten the mood.

"You know my Cheetos are off limits Nae. You can have everything but my Cheetos" he joked as he tried to grab them from me. I stuffed them in my mouth sloppily. "Whuh-Everm" I mumbled with a full mouth, & he laughed tossing a cheese puff at my head before closing the bag.

"I'm tired so I'm going back to bed bae. I have a early studio session in the morning & I doubt I'm going to get any sleep time in. Goodnight Nae." He yawned before kissing me on the lips quickly. "Good night, I'll be right behind you baby."

I grabbed my beeper & found Lesane's number sending out 637 - Always & Forever..

It had been about two weeks since I heard from Pac again but I didn't mind, I knew he was busy. Being back home after a major tour is crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if he slept for a whole week. He had called me this morning and asked me to come to his house today though. Apparently he had a surprise for me.

I hadn't told him about Ronnie yet but I didn't think I needed too. It's not like we were dating or anything, we were just friends. It was none of Pac's business anyway, he'd lost that right when we broke up.

When I pulled up to Tupac's mansion 'Euphanasia', I was surprised as how quiet & as empty it seemed. I was used to the infamous lively parties that always seemed to be in full swing.
