‘Two - C O M P L I C A T E D
You sure you ready for this, Brah?” Christiano Reece waited and fixated his gaze on the hardwood floors of the church before answering his best man. His green/hazel eyes fluttered closed as he thought about what he was preparing to do. Thoughts about his life swirled around his head and for the fifth time tonight he asked himself if he was doing the right thing. He prayed to God above for a sign. He inhaled deeply before a knock sounded.
Jaylen Nabors, seeing his best friend was in a deep thinking state, made the steps to answer the door. Still upset about the way the Armani creation fit , when he walked his face held an angry scowl he couldn’t quite clear no matter how he had tried. He swung the door open with such velocity it knocked Christiano out of his thoughts and sent his green and hazel hued eyes to the door.
His eyes had grew double the size when he glanced down on her petite figure. Dark, raven hair was curled to the side, framing the left side of her face. The dark chocolate skin was clear and unblemished as he had remembered. She was still a little hefty, but it fit her well. A navy blue dress adorned her stunning figure tightly along with white sling back sandals.
Stunned, Christiano didn’t dare move from his spot. He couldn’t believe the sight although his eyes were glued to her, not blinking for a second. Her head bowed before she slowly brought it up to look into Jaylen’s face. She mumbled a meek ‘hi’. “H-H-H-H-Hi to you too, Kai.” As if the name had snapped him out of his daze, he moved quickly to her. His presence making Jaylen find something else to attend to.
Christiano grabbed her by the arms, the force leaving indents of his fingers on her chocolate skin. Her eyes flew up to him in shock before opening her mouth to yell before he slammed her against a wall. He held her there before he slammed the door shut with another. But of his arms landed on the wall, leaving her body inbetween them. His eyes glowered down at her, with an unreadable expression. Her dark brown eyes scanned his before she again opened her mouth to speak. His expression made her close her mouth and wish she hadn’t come. “Why…are you here?” His deep voice questioned, after a marked period of silence.
Kailee stammered over her words, clearly dazed. Christiano stepped back, eying her. “You just decide to show up to my wedding…I haven’t seen you in five years, Kai!” He finally snapped, rage apparent in his eyes, turning them into a deep brown. “How did you know my wedding was today? You knew that but you couldn’t find my number to call? You here, in my face. In this city. In this state. But you couldn’t show up before this?”
Kailee cowered at the force in his words, the apparent rage and it brought tears to her eyes. “All I’ve wanted for the past five years is to see you walk through this door. But now… I just wish I had never seen your face.” The words hit her like a ton of bricks, she even winced when she heard him. She tried to stop the flooding tears but it was impossible. “I..I moved here a couple of months ago. I never knew that you where he until I saw an engagement announcement. Me and Aubrey got into it bad because she never told me about you being here. We fought. We’re not friends any more.” Kailee forced her words out, trying to contain the sobs and taking labored breaths.
Christiano’s orbs met with her teary ones before tearing his eyes away from her and focusing on the hardwood floors again, “Aubrey…Aubrey knew about you?” The hurt was apparent in his voice. And he glanced to see Kailee nodding. There was another period of silence in which Christiano broke, “Can’t cry over spoiled milk. We apparently weren’t meant to be together, ya’know? That’s why I’m getting married to someone else. That’s the reason you’ve stayed away so long. God meant for us to be apart apparently, that’s why we broke up. Your only showing up now to test my face. To test my strength, to test my love.”
“Is that why your trying to convince yourself of those things? Cause we weren’t meant to be together? You know the truth, Gio.” She called him his middle name before his eyes flashed in anger again.
“Don’t call me that.”
“Christiano. I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t be here but I couldn’t stay away. I didn’t wanna say away. I needed to see you. I needed to see you marry someone else to finalize this.”
“Your gonna make hurt you, Kai. Leave.”
“So you would hurt me, now?” Her voice was soft and quivered a little. “That’s what we’re reduced to?”
“You reduced us to that!”
“Stop! You know I didn’t. You know it.” Her voice raised considerably as she advanced towards him, “You can say whatever you want but don’t pen that on me! I didn’t do this to us!”
Christiano inhaled before fixing the white tux. “My fiancée wouldn’t want you here. You gotta go.”
She took two steps back at his words. She didn’t comprehend why he was being so cold towards her. She knew that irrevocable damage had been done but she need her Christiano. “So that’s it. I’m supposed to act like I don’t know who you are. Like I don’t know what we had? I bet this,” She waved her hands around to signal the union between him his new fiancée, “Doesn’t come close to comparing to anything we had, Chris.”
Disregarding her last statement, “Yes, your supposed act exactly like that.” His voice held an under layer of emotion that Kailee picked up on. She reached out to touch him.
“You can’t live your life without me, remember?” Her voice called softly, thinking of the many times he had said those words. A flash of emotion covered his face before changing his facial features back to a stoic expression.
“I’ve lived this long, Kailee.”
