All That Matters (6 page)

‘We have been going out for a few months…but he is studying also and when session is in he doesn’t have much time just like me.’

‘Ah ok…Aydee?’ The tone in his voice had changed completely and when it did she immediately felt that pull on her heart start to get tighter. ‘I need to tell you something I mean well I need to say something to you.’

‘Se…Sed you can say anything to me you know that.’ At least at that point they were both having the same struggle.

‘I think I may have made a mistake Aydee…all I know is that I didn’t want to do anything that would betray or hurt you…and well.’

He couldn’t finish the thought at that moment and when he parked the car and looked in her watery eyes he was the one with the heart being tugged out of his chest.

‘Sed…why wouldn’t you have just talked to me about that, if anything we could have just talked?’

‘Aydee you were so busy and happy with everything going on at school and I just couldn’t seem to figure things out I didn’t want to place worry with you and I know I couldn’t hurt you.’

‘But we always did that together…no matter what I had going on I would have at least sat down and talked to you.’

‘I know….I know…can we talk…I mean now can I call you?’

‘Of course you can…I would like that.’ She gave him a peek on the cheek and got out of the car and headed into her house. She didn’t look back fearing she would run back and have a reaction she shouldn’t. After all he said he wanted to talk to her he didn’t say he was single, he didn’t say he wanted to be with her just that he wanted to talk. So pulling all her strength together she got in the house as quick as she could.

As he backed out of the drive way the phone buzzed with yet another message from Kemi so he hit play so he could hear what she had to say.

Message One the night before: You need to call me…its completely unfair that you did this to me like this.

Message Two early morning: I deserve more than this I have given you two years Sedric this is not right I’ve done nothing wrong…you are a coward for this and you know it we need to talk.

Message Three just a few minutes prior: You deserve exactly what is happening now you know that…why haven’t you called me I have to talk to you about something important and it can’t wait so you need to call me ASAP.

Whatever she had up her sleeve he had to know was coming there was no way she was going down without a fight. It was actually something he admired about her in the beginning. She had a strong presence about her she fought for what she wanted and wasn’t shy about it. The thing was the only thing she wanted was money and status, to be in the lights and living
the life
. So he had reached his limit with her and after talking to Ayida he was feeling much better so he sucked it up and made the call.

‘What took you so long to call me back Sed?’

‘I’ve been busy Kemi and I didn’t think we had anything else to talk about that couldn’t wait till I was back in Chicago like we said before.’

‘Really so you break up with me after two years over the phone and think we don’t have anything else to talk about?’

‘Kemi I honestly truly apologize about how I did this I know that was wrong we could have had that conversation before I left but…’

‘But what you were too much of a coward to say it to my face?’

‘Sure Kemi that’s what it was did you need anything else?’

‘Well yes…I have to tell you something important and we can’t talk about it over the phone so since you are planning to be down there for the next month I figured I could fly down and we could talk.’

‘NO!...Whatever it is we can talk about it now or it can wait till I get back.’

‘What are you hiding down there Sedric…is it so bad if I met your family maybe that would help us some?’

‘Kemi I have answered that question to many times now…so what is it?

‘I told you this isn’t something you do over the phone…so either you come to me or I come to you you make the choice.’

‘Kemi I won’t be back for a month and when I come to the states I have to go to New York for meetings…so you’re gonna have to do this over the phone.’

‘Well I can meet you in New York when will you be there?’

‘Kemi….stop this what is it I’m sure whatever it is can wait till I’m back in Chicago anyway?’ His blood was basically boiling at that point she was cooking something up and having him in front of her gave her advantages since there were still many physical aspects about her he could not ignore.

‘No it can’t I can be on a flight in a few hours Sedric to meet you in Trinidad…what’s wrong with that?’

‘What’s right with that? I have a lot of family in town right now and I am trying to see everyone before I go so I don’t have time to spare…just tell me what it is and we don’t have to worry about any of that.’

‘Sedric I told you this is not something we can talk about over the phone so fine it will have to wait till you get back to Chicago if you could make that sooner than later that would be best.’

Before he could respond she disconnected the phone and left him in silence. It was wrong how he handled it but they were adults and whatever she had up her sleeve now was sure to make his life chaotic.
