And If... {completed and edited 2024}

And If... I finally deal with you ? | Part. 1

"Why ? " I found myself asking her unconsciously.

"Too much happened. My heart feels so heavy and I have the biggest headache. I never cried that much in my life before, except when we broke up." She took a deep breath, "My ex-boss' son attacked me, I had to quit my job and have been confused about what I want to do with my life since then. I found out you never cheated on me and was forced to break up with me; our baby got poisoned and was in a coma because of my father; then turned out that this man was never my father to begin with; my real father had always been in my life but I thought he was only a family friend; Patrick is my brother and if we gave in and decided to date...ew ! Then there is our relationship...a real mess. If something else happens, you'll have to put me in a mental hospital. I can't take no more." By now, she sat up and was looking at me as she was confessing her real feelings towards the recent events that occurred those past few months.

"Understandable. But don't worry, we're gonna be alright. Nǎinai always told me that you can't have happiness without sadness, so you can be truly grateful for your blessings. You can't have a rainbow without the rain." I kissed her cheek, "we'll be just fine. This journey was never supposed to be easy, but we're fighters and can make it through. Don't worry." I assured her with a determined tone in my voice to let her know that I was going to make sure of it.

A small smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "okay."

"After everything we already went through, we can only make it. Do you trust me ? " I asked looking into her eyes.

"I'm not gonna lie and say that I do at one hundred percent, but...like I said, I'm willing to work on our relationship." Fair enough. After the way I acted and everything we lived, I couldn't be mad at that.

"Thank you for being honest with me. Tell me, are you gonna change your last name like Tam ? " I was hinting at something else, but I didn't know if she was going to catch it.

She shrugged, "I don't know. I'm just so used to be a Kash. I'll see later."

"Okay. Whatever you decide to do, I'm here to support."

"Thanks."

TINASHE'S POV:

It was the next day, a Saturday to be exact and my back hurt like hell. Sleeping in a hospital bed with Richard wasn't the best thing that ever happened to me. The bed was way too small to contain both of us. It was already too small just for Richard and his footballer's body, so us two was a pure disaster. I didn't know if we could do that until RJ was clear to go home, because by then I wouldn't have a back anymore.

I needed a massage.

Brett did tell me that she organized some type of spa day for us, so I could relax from all the chaos that was happening in my life. I just had to give them the green light, so we could go. I was seriously thinking about doing it today, but it was another busy day.

Since we said more people could come to visit, it seemed like everybody decided to come today. My mother was there first in the morning, as she told us yesterday. Chad and Stacy were next, and it was a bit awkward because of what happened between them, but they didn't try to start drama in front of RJ. I could tell though that Chad regretted his infidelity while Stacy completely ignored him.

I was all for women not giving a second chance to a cheater but for some unknown reason I had hope for them. But they were definitely not getting back together and I wasn't really mad at that because at the end of the day it was totally understandable. I just wanted my best friend to be happy and if not getting back with Brandon was her way to reach happiness, then I was all for it.
