(PSA: This Book Is Ending Soon...Y'all Want A Sequel?)
°Linda
After Doing A Little More Shopping We Headed Home, I Was Now In My Room Putting Away My New Clothes I Brought. When My Phone Started Ringing From This Unknown Number.
Who In The Hell Is This? I Picked It Up Looking At The Number...I Hesitated At First But Then I Decided To Answer.
"Uh Hello?"
"Linda Hey How You Doing?" The Voice Said.
Wait A Minute I Know That Voice And That Accent From Anywhere...It Was Odell. How Did He Get My Number Though?
"Fine I Guess."
"Do You Even Kno' Who This Is?"
"Yes This Is Odell."
"Yeah, Is Rain Stayin' At Your House?"
"Why?"
"Cause I Really Need Ta' Speak Ta' Ha' And She Won't Answer My Phone Calls." He Sighed.
"Oh Well That's Very Unfortunate You Shouldn't Have Cheated."
He Smacked His Lips.
"Linda I Kno' I Fucked Up But I Need Ta' Make It Up Ta' Ha', And Make Things Right."
"But She Doesn't Wanna Talk Talk To You." I Rolled My Eyes.
"Linda Please You Kno' How Much I Really Love This Girl."
I Sighed Giving In...I Mean He Really Does Love Rain.
"So What Do You Want?"
"Can You Give Me Ya' Address My Friend Jarvis Is Gonna Come Talk Ta' Ha'."
"Alright I'll Text It To You."
"Okay."
"Alright Bye." I Said About To Hang Up But He Stopped Me.
"Wait Linda?"
"Yes?"
"Thank You."
"You Welcome."
"'Ight Bye." He Hung Up.
I Then Texted Him My Address..I Then Put My Phone Back Down And Went Back To What I Was Doing.
I'm Not Even Gonna Tell Rain That Jarvis Is Coming...I'm Just Gonna Wait Till He Gets Here And She Sees For Herself. Let's Hope This Goes Well.
°Rain
After Another Fresh Shower I Took I Layed Back On The Bed Relaxing When I Heard The Doorbell Ring.
"Rain Can You Get That I'm In The Bathroom!" Linda Called Out.
"Yeah." I Got Up.
I Slipped On My House Shoes And Walked Out The Room Going Down The Hallway And Walking Downstairs. I Made It To The Front Door And Unlocked It Opening The Door To See Jarvis Standing There. I Scrunched My Eyebrows Looking At Him.
"Jarvis What Are You Doing Here?" I Questioned.
"Can We Talk?"
"About What?"
"I Think You Kno' What."
"Jarvis I Really Don't Wanna Talk About This And How Did You Know I Was Here?"
"Look You Can Ask All These Otha' Questions Later, Can We Just Talk?"
I Thought About It For A Cool Minute..
"Yeah Come In." I Sighed.
I Opened The Door Wider So He Can Come In..He Walked In And I Closed The Door Behind Him.
"Nice Place."
"Thanks." I Fake Smiled.
"You Welcome."
We Both Sat Down On The Couch.
"Okay So What Do We Need To Discuss?"
"You And Odell."
"Honestly There's Nothing To Discuss He Cheated And We're Done."
He Raised His Eyebrow.
"So You're Really Done?"
I Chewed The Inside Of My Bottom Lip.
"Right Now I Am Really Just Confused And Hurt. That's Where I Am."
"I Understand That But Odell Really Loves You And Misses You."
"Okay Jarvis But If He Really Loves Me He Wouldn't Have Did What He Did."
"I Understand That But Name One Man In This World That Is Perfect."
"It's Impossible."
"Exactly Every Man Makes Mistakes And So Does Women, But You Kno' What We Do?"
"What?"
"We Forgive Them And Forget, But Not Necessarily Forget That's Something You Have To Decide With Your Heart."
"I Mean It's Hard Too." Tears Formed In My Eyes.
"I Understand Whea' You Are Comin' From But You Can't Be Mad Foreva'."
My Tears Then Started To Fall.
"I Mean I Can Forgive Him But I Will Never Forget It."
"And That's Okay, I Just Want You Guys To Work Things Out."
"To Be Honest Right Now It's Hard Maybe If I Get Some More Time To Think Things Out I Will Probably Speak To Him."
"Come On, You Guys Should Sit Down And Tell Him How You Feel."
"I Don't Know About All That Yet." I Wiped My Face.
"Please Come On Fa' Me Please." He Begged.
I Took A Deep Breath Trying To Figure Out What I'm Gonna Do, Should I Even Sit Down And Talk To Him?
"Okay I'll Do It." I Sighed Heavily.
"Thank You..Cause I'm Not Used Ta' Seein' Him Like That."
"What Do You Mean?" I Frowned.
"He Hasn't Been Himself, Earlier When I Went To His House The House Was A Mess, He Looked A Mess Ta' Begin Wit', And He Hadn't Ate Since Yesterday." He Said.
I'm Not Gonna Lie It Kinda Bothered Me That Odell Kinda Just Let Himself Go.
"Wow."
"Yeah So Ta'day I Took Him Out Ta' Eat And Get His Haircut And Stuff."
"Oh."
"So Yeah I Need You Guys Ta' Talk So He Can Function Again."
"I Mean I Feel Bad But Then Again I Don't Because He Brought This On Himself."
"True." He Agreed.
"But I'll Talk To Him."
"Okay, Thank You So Much."
"You Welcome."
We Both Stood Up And I Walked Him To The Door. He Then Gave Me A Warm Hug.
"Hopefully Everything Works Out." He Pulled Out His Car Keys.
"Me Too."
I Closed The Door And Walked Back Upstairs.
"Who Was That?" Linda Asked.
I Then Turned Around And Went Into Her Room.
"That Was Odell's Friend Jarvis."
She Was Laying Down In Her Bed.
"Oh What He Want?"
"He Wanted To Talk About Me And Odell."
"Oh What Happened?"
"He Basically Wanted Me And Odell To Sit Down And Talk."
"Well You Gone Do It?"
"Yes I Told Him That I'll Do It."
"That's Good I Guess."
"Yeah...I'm Just Nervous."
"Why?" She Frowned.
"Because When I See Or Think Of Odell I Just Wanna Go Off On Him And Fight Him."
I Really Do.
"Well Just Swallow Your Pride And Go In There Calm, Don't Turn Up Until He Pisses You Off."
"Yeah And That Will Be In A Matter Of Seconds." I Rolled My Eyes.
"Your Gonna Be Fine Just Take A Deep Breath Or Something Before You Go Inside."
"I Will." I Sighed.
I Got Up And Walked Into My Bedroom Getting In The Bed, I Love Odell But....It's Really Hard To Even Explain It.
°Odell
I Layed On The Couch Watchin' The NFL Network As They Talked About The Super Bowl That's Comin' Up. Just Then The Front Door Was Bein' Opened Revealin' Jarvis, I Sat Up And Looked At Him As He Sat Down.
"So What Happened?" I Asked.
He Sighed And Scratched The Back Of His Neck.
"Well At First Things Were Rocky But Afta' All The Beggin' I Did, She Agreed Ta' Sit Down And Talk Ta' You."
What He Just Said Was Music Ta' My Ears.
"Really When?!"
"I Don't Kno' She Just Said Yes."
I Got Up.
"'ight Well Imma Call Her."
I Walked Upstairs And Went Into My Beautiful Cleaned Bedroom, I Sat Down On The Bed And Dialed Her Number... Lord Please Make Ha' Answer.
"Hello?" She Answered.
My Heart Immediately Started Beatin' Fast When I Heard Her Voice.
"H-H-Hey."
I'm So Damn Nervous Right Now I Can't Even Talk Correctly.
"Hey." She Had No Type Of Emotion.
"Uh How You Been?'
"I'm Fine."
"So Jarvis Told Me That You Said Yes That You Would Sit Down And Talk Ta' Me."
"Yeah I Said Yes."
"I Was Just Wonderin' What Would Be The Perfect Time Ta' Do It?"
"I Don't Know...But I'll Call You Back."
"Okay." I Hung Up.
Damn I Still Can't Get Ova' The Fact That She Finally Answered Ta' Me. I Got Off The Bed Goin' Back Downstairs.
"So What Happened?" Jarvis Asked.
"Well Uh She Doesn't Kno' When She Wants Ta' Talk Ta' Me."
"Oh Okay..Well How 'Bout Tomorrow Tell Her Ta' Come Ova' Hea'."
"You Think She Gone Say Yes Ta' That?"
"I'm Pretty Sure She Wouldn't Say No."
"'Ight Imma Text Her."
I Pulled Out My Phone And Texted Her.
Hey, How About You Just Come Over Tomorrow? -8:41 Pm
Rain: Sure I'll Be There. -8:42 Pm
I Put My Phone Down Tryin' Ta' Hide My Lil Smile. I Can't Wait Ta' See Her Again..
"I'm Guessin' She Said Yes." Jarvis Said Lookin' At Me.
"Yeah She Did."
"That's Good."
"Yeah...Wanna Play Madden?"
"Yeah So You Can Lose."
I Got Up And Grabbed The Controllers Turnin' On The System.
"Time To Kill That Noise Right Now." I Sat Back Down.
I Guess Havin' A Lil Fun Can Get My Mind Off Things.
The Next Morning.
°Rella
I Looked At Myself In The. Hand Held Mirror One Last Time As I Noticed That My Eye And My Bottom Lip Has Healed Somewhat. I Haven't Heard From Odell Since Everything About Us Hit The Fan, Honestly I'm Happy That Everything Is Out In The Open.
Meaning We Don't Have To Keep Any Secrets Anymore, I Guess We Can Still Sleep With Each Other Without Feeling Guilty Or Anything Like That. I've Been Trying To Call Odell But He Won't Answer Any Of My Calls. So I Have Decided To Go To His House Today Because We Need To Talk.
Well To Be Honest I Was Already There I Was Just Across The Street From His House. I Took A Deep Breath And Took Off My Seatbelt Opening The Car Door Stepping Out, I Closed The Door Behind Me And Looked Both Ways Before Crossing The Street. I Crossed The Street And Walked Up The Drive Way Going To The Front Door.
I Took Another Deep Breath And Got The Courage To Ring The Doorbell..A Few Seconds Later The Door Was Opened Revealing Odell He Looked At Me Confused.
"Hi." I Spoke.
"Rella What You Doin' Hea'?"
Well Damn He Couldn't At Least Say Hi Back.
"I Came Here So We Can Talk."
" 'Bout What?"
"Everything That Happened When We Last Seen Each Other."
"To Be Honest Rella...There's Nothin' Ta' Talk 'Bout."
I Looked At Him Shocked Like Is He Upset With Me Now?
"Are You Serious Right Now?"
"Very."
"Can I Just Explain Myself?"
"What Is There To Explain? We Was Fuckin' Each Otha' And We Got Caught. End Of Story."
My Jaw Dropped.
"Are You Serious Right Now?"
"Yeah Now I'm Trynna Figure Out How Me And Rain Is Gonna Get Back Togetha'."
"Wow So You Don't Feel The Same Way I Do." I Mumbled.
"I Can't Hea' You, What Did You Just Say?"
"I Said You Don't Feel The Same Way I Do." I Repeated.
"Rella What The Hell Are You Talkin' 'Bout?"
"I Have Feelings For You Odell!" I Snapped.
"Oh."
I Looked At Him Like He Was Crazy.
"What Does Oh Mean?"
"Look Rella Whateva' Fantasy You Have Goin' On In Your Head, Just Dead That Shit Right Now..I Don't Wanna Be Wit' You."
I Stood There As My Heart Shattered Into Pieces, I Never Been Rejected Before And This Feeling Hurts Like Hell.
"I Thought What We Had Was Deeper Than That."
"Well It's Not. Have A Great Day."
And With Those Words He Closed The Door In My Face Locking It. Tears Started To Roll Down My Cheeks As I Turned Around And Walked Back To My Car. My Emtions Are Everywhere Right Now.
