*Milan

It's been 2 weeks. It's been 14 days. Zion hasn't said a word to me or came to the house. I've been calling and texting her phone back to back. Not once had I received a response.

It was currently 3 in the evening and I just got done eating some spaghetti I had made last night. My phone started ringing and it was my mom.

"Hello..." I answered putting it on speaker

"Hey Honey, ummm did something happen between you and Zion??" She asked

Huh??

"No, why??" I asked

"She called this morning and said she quit..." She said

"What??" I asked sitting up on the couch

"Yeah. She told me thanks for the opportunity but she couldn't continue the job..." she says

What the fuck Zion!!

"That's crazy..." I said cuz honestly it was

"Well I was just letting you know..." she said

"Okay, Thank you..." I said before we hung up

I got up, slipped some clothes on, grabbed my keys, and headed out. I was going to Zion's house cuz like wtf is wrong with her. This is ridiculous bruh.

I finally made it to her house and I seen her car in the driveway. I cut my car off, put my keys in my pocket, locked up the car, and went to knock on the door.

"Who is it??" She asked

"It's me..." I said

"Milan What are you doing here??" She asked from the other side

"Zion I'm not doing this with you. Open the Damn door..." I said

"What do you want??" She asked

"Why did you quit??" I asked

"I'm not going to sit and let you play with my heart Milan. I told you how all the woman before you ruined me. Then, you turned around and try to do the same. I'm not fucking having that. I refused to go through that era again..." she said confusing the fuck outta me

"Zion what is you talk about??" I asked cuz I honestly wanted to know

"You and Titus..." she said

"There's nothing going on between us..." I said truthfully

"You could've fooled me..." she said

"What does that supposed to mean??" I asked

"What happened to your dress Milan??" She asked

"Zion I told you it ripped when I was putting it on. It was too small..." I said

"Or did Titus ripped it off of you when y'all were fucking..." she said

"WHAT!?" I yelled

"He was telling his boys how y'all fucked. The reason you didn't wear that dress is because he ripped it off you before y'all fucked. He knew exactly what kind of dress you had on and
all..." she said

"Zion cuz I told him when I got in the limo. Titus don't even know what apartment I stay in, he just know the building. He's a fucking liar Zion..." I said

"I don't wanna hear it cuz you are fucking lying. I refused to be dumb and get my heart stepped on. I told you how the others woman treated me and you do the same..." she said

"Zion, I promise I'm not like them. I haven't did anything with Titus. He waited in the front of the building for me. He didn't come in my apartment. And we definitely didn't fuck. He's lying Zion. I'm not lying to you baby..." I said

It was quiet for a while.

"Zion..." I said softly

"Get away from my door..." she said

"Zion stop it..." I said

"Milan go away. Go be with your Nigga..." she said

"Zion come on now. Open up. I'm with you, nobody else. I don't want him. He's old news. We didn't fuck or anything. I ripped my dress cuz it was too little. I described my dress to him that's how he knows what it was. My dress is with Lani Zion. I didn't do anything to betray you in any kind of way..." I said with all honesty

"Get away from my door before I call the police..." she said

I knew she was serious cuz it was all in her voice.

I looked at the door for a few before going back to my car. Tears made their way into my eyes as I got in the car. I started it and drive off.

I couldn't believe this shit. Like why the fuck would he lie. He know nun of that shit was true. He had caused me the best thing that's ever happened to me.

She's been everything I've dreamed about. From the way she protects me, makes me feel safe, touch me, makes me happy, listenings to me, and comforts me. She's all I could ask for and much more.

Once I got myself together, I stopped, and called Titus. It's rung three times before he picked up.

"Yo..." he said

"Why the fucked you lying to people and telling them we fucked Titus??" I said

"What??" He asked

"You know what the fuck I'm talm bout, so don't act dumb. Stop flexing on my name. You know we didn't fuck. I haven't fucked you since I was 19 and you know it. Then, I told you I ripped my dress and you telling your boys you ripped it off me. Like be forreal..." I said

"Milan I was just fucking around..." he said

"Stop flexing on my damn name cuz you don't know what you doing. Keep my name out your fucking mouth. Don't mention me to anybody else, period..." I said before hanging up on him

I let out a loud sigh.

"If it ain't one thing it's a mutherfucking nother..." I said to myself

I stopped by Baskin Robins to get me a pint of ice cream. I went back home, got on my couch, and ate my ice cream while watching scary movies.

This remind me of the night Zion and I were both eating dairy-free ice cream while watching a scary movie. She so fucking scary that she jumped so hard that it knocked her ice cream over. Then she started whining for mine. I gave her mine and had to fight to get some from her.

I chuckled at that memory.

Why do good things always has to be ruined?
