*The Next Day/afternoon *
Keith
I decided to meet up with Bianca. She texted me about how she needs to talk to me about Beverly and how I haven't been really been reaching out to bev after Paris.
I was ready to hear her preach.

I knock on the apartment door.
Bianca opens up.
"Hey come in.."
I slowly walk in and sit on the couch.
Her place was nice.
"Where's al? He's always on your hip"
She giggles.
"He's filming for an upcoming project right now."
"That's my guy. Always working."
Then it was a long pause.

"So.. what's up with you and Beverly.. she's telling me that you called her by another name? And you're not ready to commit? Like..I'm confused and I need to hear your side."
I roll my eyes and took a deep breath.
"Look..Bianca I trust you and I'm gonna need for you to not tell anyone this. Between you and me okay?"
"Okay...I promise."

"So... 4 years ago...I've had this long time girlfriend of mine.. ever since freshman year of high school. She was pregnant by me...and her and my baby died. And it was because Of me."

"Woah wait what?" She says as she gets closer.
I was trying to fight back tears, I started to get a lump in my throat.

"Bianca..it was raining...and I was on the way with her to the hospital because she had an appointment. I was driving. It was a huge storm.

We then got into an argument about a female that I cheated on her with when we weren't on good terms. And I was wrong for that. She was yelling at me and I was yelling at her. Just petty stuff.

Which caused me to get into the other lane...and when I noticed..I veered off the highway...and....the car was wrecked and she was slumped over covered in blood and glass was everywhere. It was like a nightmare. A nightmare I couldn't wake up from.

It's so fresh in my mind Bianca.. it's so fresh..." I started to bawl. "It's my fault man..it's my fault.."

She then pulls me into a hug.
"Hadn't I been stupid messing with females and just arguing period ..she would still be here."

"Keith it wasn't your fault..."
"Yes it was... and the crazy thing about it is.. I was gonna propose to her within that month....fuck. I beat myself up to this day about it. After she died I started hoeing around and drinking just because I was tryna numb the pain and I didn't want to get close to any other female again because I wanted Renee. But when I see Beverly she reminds me so much of Renee. Her skin tone, the way she acts... I want her so bad b. She makes me want to be a better man. But something keeps telling me don't do it.. god I don't know what to do. I need Beverly."

"Wait do you just love her because she reminds you of Renee? And Why don't you tell her?"

"Beverly is her own person and I love Beverly for that. She stands out she's.. amazing. Im just scared to fall in love. I love her but ...it's a weird love."

"Keith... if Renee could speak she would say to do what makes you happy. Are you happy with Beverly?"
"Yes..."

"Just give it a shot. Beverly really cares about you. Take your time, it's just she's confused on whether to be on to the next one."
"She doesn't need to be on to the next one."
"Then let her know."
She wipes the tears from my eyes. I look deep into hers. I began to go in, but she pushes me back.
"Woah Keith we both know that you don't wanna do this."
I sigh. "You're just vulnerable it's okay. Give me a hug."
I hugged her tight.
"I don't know what came over me.."
"Look..who you need to be kissing is Beverly. Now go see her."
I chuckle.
"I will. Thank you B."
As we gave each other one last hug I was out the door.
I quickly got in my jeep and I was off.

While at a red light I pull down my sun visor and admire the pic of Renee and I. It was a random photoshoot for a blog she used to do.

I smile

I smile. "Damn I miss you."
She always said she wanted me to be happy. Even if I was without her or not. So I'm gonna go and do what makes me happy.

As the light turned green I threw my visor back up and was on the way to my destination.

Beverly
"This is how I spend my Friday? Just Netflix and chill. Ain't that right Luigi?" I say to my puppy in a baby voice.

It was one of those nights where I could just chill out and not worry about anything.

Knock knock
I quickly walk to the door. Who could this be? I wasn't expecting any company.
As I open the door, It was Keith.
"What are you doing here Keith?..." I say confused.
"Look I-"
"Save it... you've been ignoring my texts and calls and.. I just feel like I'm scaring you away..."

"If anything bev..I'm pushing you away..And I'm tired of pushing."
"What does that mean?"
"I want you Beverly Ann Guiterez. I want all of you. I want your heart... only if you're willing to give it to me..."
I started to smile and tear up.
"But I thought you weren't-"

"Let's just see how this goes Beverly. Life's all about taking chances and I'm ready to take this chance with you."
I then pull him inside then gave him a passionate kiss.
His strong arms held me so tight.

"I know this is so soon...but I really love you...."
He smiled like he was a little kid. It was adorable.
"I love you too Keith."

Keith and I are like two puzzle pieces that were made for each other. I know he must have a hurtful past which I'm sure to find out about because my past with guys were awful. And he knows that. But with Each day, we get closer and closer and I'm just really happy. This isn't just temporary, I actually feel something. And it feels so right. I finally have my keithy.
