Part 45

Part 45

“You’re looking too deep into something so trivial. Did you not hear everything else I had to say?”

“Yes, I heard you but I want to know if you’re saying that you don’t love me anymore? How the fuck can you not love me after one night, unless you never loved me.”

“Don’t talk to me like that King. I’m not yelling or cussing at you, don’t do it to me.”

“I’m the man in this relationship, I speak how the fuck I see fit. Sit down, shut up, and listen.”

Hurt and amazed, I stand there crying in silence but in front of him this time. “We aren’t in a relationship any longer, I’m done. If you can’t respect me King you don’t deserve me.”

“Where are you going to go Queen? How are you going to get there?”

“Wow, this is what we’ve come too? I demand respect from you and this is how respond to it?”

“You know what, I’ll do you a favor. I’ll give you the money you lost when Abuelo took you and I want you to keep the ring. You go your way and I’ll go mine.”

I had no choice but to suck up the hurt and pain, the fact that I couldn’t breath and he seemed to be perfectly fine. His eyes were red, like he’s fighting back tears; they weren’t red when he first walked into the hotel room. Something’s going on with him and as a woman that whole heartedly loves him, I should be there when he breaks. Lowering my guard to be respected just once to find out what’s wrong with him is worth the answers. I walk over to him, putting my head on his chest, wrapping my arms around his neck.

“King, I love you and that will never end. You’re not being yourself and I don’t know why or what happened. I’m not leaving you, I think we should slow down when it comes to a relationship, until we figure out together how we can fix whatever’s going on.”

When I slid my face across his shirt to look up to him, I smelled a females perfume. Not a hint of it like he walked in the way when someone was spraying in the mall type smell. The smell was so strong that I know whomever she was, was just as close as I am if not closer. I didn’t want to lose my cool, not yet anyway. Whatever is going on with him is causing him pain, I can see it in his face. King needs a friend right now, not a nagging girlfriend.

“You’re staying because of the money, what $200k isn’t enough for you? The ring, you can sell that, that’ll get you a cool million. Unless you just around to dig deeper into my pockets."

“You know what, the money lost I’ll accept that, because I worked hard for it. The ring on the other hand..”

King cut me off, “You worked hard for that too, all yesterday.” He said with a smile.

I felt two inches tall, he really made me feel like shit for giving him something I couldn’t take back.

“That was mean to say, but I guess you’re right. I thought I would be around to help you as a friend but that’s not good enough for you, I assume the woman you were with last night will be there for you instead. Just let me know when I can get what’s mine and I’ll leave you and your new woman to your lives.”

Without saying or accepting another word, I walked away. The pain and hurt that he’s causing me is too much, more than I can handle all at once. I don’t know why he’s trying to push me away but it worked. I laid on the bed and no matter what I did, I couldn’t stop the tears, I couldn’t be silent, it was coming out of me because the pain in itself was unbearable. I don’t know what happened between the time he got down on one knee and this morning. Knowing that it’s something with him, but hurting me wasn’t the answer. I would rather him tell me to leave because he changed his mind and wants someone else or because I’m in danger; anything but this.
