SITUATIONSHIP

Deafeated I ask slowly, "What do you want from me?"

"We could be a thing, me and you."

"Rahim, you only came into my life recently and not in the best way possible. You only looked for me because you needed me and it was more of an ambush. And who knows after I serve your purpose you will dispose of me, or we could go back to the way things were; strangers."

"You don't know that."

A chuckle escapes me, "I know men, your family."

"They aren't me."

"Haven't you forgotten you left, we can't revive the past."

"You know very well I had to leave."

"But why did you leave without even a goodbye."

"It wasn't long before you got cozy with Nate."

"It was inevitable, bound to happen."
