Drama!! Oh Drama!!
By Najya Yasirah
Chapter 10- I’m Not Trying To Seduce You
Reyjah’s ringing phone woke her up. “What the hell do you want?” “Reyjah, it’s me.” “Like I said, what the hell do you want?” “I want to see you.” “Why?” “Because I love you, regardless of what you may feel about me.” Reyjah held her forehead. “Dammitt…okay, but please don’t try to have sex with me, I gotta go to work, soon.”
“Hey, Babe,” said Antione. Reyjah was on her way out the door dressed in a black New York muscle shirt and low-slung bellbottoms. She decided to wear sneakers in case she had to fight. Her hair was still wet from the shower, but she did not feel the need to blow-dry it straight. Her attitude was simply ‘Whatever’. She even wore dark glasses to hide the puffiness in her eyes. “You came to apologize, right?” she asked.” Antoine found her smart-ass comment justifiable. He didn’t look like himself. His eyes were bloodshot, his balance was off, and his speech was slurred. “Babe, I… was.. an asshole. A class-A …asshole. “ “I won’t argue with that, though ‘jackass’ is also appropriate.” Antoine took her hand. “I know… you still.. love me,” he said softly, his accent reeling her in. He almost fell on her, but she held him up. What the heck was wrong with him? “Of course I do, I’m your fool remember,” she said smiling. He pulled the ring from his pocket. “Please, wear this again?” he asked. “Bellissima?” She laughed. “Sure, why not?” she sighed. He slid the ring back on her finger. “How does your face feel?” she mocked concern. “It’s still a little sore,” he said drawing her closer. “Kiss it and make it better?” he asked. “Good for what ails you,” she confirmed with a forgiving kiss.
