The Run In Pt. 1

Sorry I've been M.I.A. ...sometimes life just steps in the way. I'm tired, stressed out, and mentally exhausted. Its occurred to me that I haven't taken a vacation and I mean a real vacation in a good two years. So I'm all wound up....and adding more fuel to the fire is the last thing I need(ed).



Almost a month ago

"Babbbbby come onnnnnnnn" I said to Q staring at him with big brown innocent eyes. "I want you to see the movie."


Him: I don't understand why you want to go see a movie you've already seen!

Me: Because it was so good I want to see it again and I think you should see it, I promise you it's his best film yet.

Q shook his head. Got up. Grabbed his keys.

Him: Let's Go.

I smiled, grabbed my purse, and pulled him down to give him a big kiss. (he's taller than me...as is everyone).

It only took us a second to get to the movies since it's located right down the street and Q tends to "fly" instead of actually driving.

There were a million people outside which was kind of confusing since school was back in and it was a week night. I shrugged it off as Q paid for the tix and we strolled in hand in hand. As we were walking to the concession stand he dropped my hand and looked as if he'd seen a ghost. I looked across the room to see what he was staring at and my eyes landed on a petite, light skinned woman.

She was absolutely gorgeous with short brown and blond hair, hazel eyes, and a lean body (she was like a shorter version of Rihanna). Her and Q continued staring at each other until a man came up behind the woman and kissed her on her cheek. She whispered something to him and he went into the movie theater. With that she started walking towards us. Q still had not said a word to me...he just stood there looking like a lost puppy.

All of a sudden as he realized she was walking over to us, he grabbed my hand again, and pulled me closer. I let him...although I wanted to drop his hand and tell him to kick rocks at that point, but it seemed like he was holding on for dear life, so I let him.

Her: Hi Q, it's good to see you. (she gave him a hug while saying this)

Q: Good to see you too...what uh..what are you doing here?

Her: My boyfriend actually lives in Columbia..so I'm here often.

Q: Funny. My girl (looking at me) lives in Columbia too.

[I did my best not to reach up and slap him.]

Q: Sorry, this is Sweetheart, Sweetheart this is Karima.

Her: Nice to meet you.

Me: You too...(I'm sure she could tell I was pissed)

Her: Q, we'll talk later. Sweetheart enjoy your date.


She walked away. Although I wanted to run behind her and snatch those contacts out her eyes...I just stood there staring at Q....pissed.

Since, I couldn't stand to look at him, I knew I wouldn't be able to sit in a movie theater with him for two hours, so I told him to take me home. We were both silent until we reached my apartment, I was waiting for him to confirm what I already knew.

Me: Who was that woman.

Q: My ex fiance

I nodded, got out the car and went into my apartment. However, this time Q didn't come after me...

He drove away.
