All I Want Is You (11 page)

Ryder

              Me and Camila were taking a bubble bath, and she was in-between my legs. There were bubbles and rose petals everywhere. This morning I felt like being romantic, I started practice in a week. I felt like everything was finally coming today, later today I was helping Blu move in. I was having all the people I love around me at once, just missing my mom.

              I haven’t spoken to here since before she left, she hadn’t tried calling or texting me either. In a way it’s like she left and forgot she had a son. I understood that she might think I’m mad, but she could at least try. I was rubbing Camila tummy in my own world, I felt relaxed for the first time in a while. I was happy me and Camila were back together, I had another surprised come the end of the night. She is my rock my world, I couldn’t see life without her.

              “Baby what you thinking so hard about?” She threw some bubbles at me and giggles.

              “Sorry baby I’m just hella relaxed and when I actually get relaxed I think.” I splashed her and all of a sudden we were having a water war in the tub. We got out of the tub and dried each other off.

              I put some boxers on and a pair on black basketball shorts and Camila put on a crop top and some booty short. We climbed into bed and I turned on the TV, I hit play on straight outta Compton. Before I knew it Camila was asleep, I heard my phone ring, so I quietly got went to go answer the phone.

              “What’s up Blu?” I went into my closet so I wouldn’t wake up Camila. I grabbed a white t-shirt and put it over my head.

              “You ready to help me move? I called a truck and they’re outside, just waiting for you to get here.”

              “Yeah, I’m putting my shoes now, be there in a minute.” I hung up the phone and put on my fresh black and white Jordans on and headed out the door. I got into my car and sped off towards Blu’s condo. I know her being around her mother must have been bugging her at this point.

              I pulled up and saw Blu giving orders and people carrying bins out. I got out the car and walked up to her.

              “What you need my help for?” I laughed “I’m surprised Skie isn’t here with you.” I watched as they brought more things out.

              “I honestly can’t take being around my mother right now, that’s why I wanted you to come. Also me and Ski got into a fight yesterday, I’m not ready to see her yet.” She put her head down.

              “Well whatever it is y’all will work through it. where your mom at anyway? I’m surprised she’s not out here trying to stop them from taking your shit,” I laughed.

              “Oh she was, her eyes looked really red. If I didn’t know any better I think she was high, and it sure the hell wasn’t weed.” She looked up at me with a serious look.

              “Wow are you sure Blu? That don’t even sound like your mom at all.” I looked back her with a shocked expression.

              “Yes, Ryder, I’m pretty sure, you have to also think that she isn’t herself right now. I mean I’m moving out and I haven’t talked to her. The house also looks a hot mess, I heard her crying all night too.” she gave me a sad look and walked over to one of the workers.

              I picked up the phone and called my dad, I took a few steps away so no one would hear what I was saying.

              “Yes, Ryder, I’m in the middle of talking to your uncle. I need to speak to you when you get back home.”

              “It’s Emila, I came over here to help Blu move and she told me that she thinks Emila is on drugs and heavy drugs at that.” I watched Blu, making sure she wasn’t coming over this way.

              “What the fuck!” He yelled through the phone, I took the phone away from my ear and let him vent.

              “Dad calm down, I’ll check it out. If she is on drugs, then we need to find out who is supplying her and take care of it. I hung up the phone and walked back over to Blu.

              “I told our dad what you told me about your mom.” I backed up, scared she was gonna go off on me for telling Ghost.

              “What the fuck you do that for? Ghost!” She yelled. “I’m not even sure if she is or not! Now dad is gonna question her!”

              “Look, Blu if she is, she needs to get help, I didn’t do it for you to be mad. I wanted to help and I know he can talk some sense into her, if she is. Chill out damn, I’ll see you at the house, you have movers here, anyway.”

              I walked to my car and got into my car, I wanted to be in bed with Camila. I pulled up to the house as my uncle was leaving. I got out the car and headed to the front door, my uncle stopped me in my tacks.

              “Tomorrow Midnight will be presented; I decided to have a little fun. I just showed the proof to Ghost.” He smiled proud of himself, he enjoyed killing people.

              “Alright, I hope I hear it all over the news when I wake up tomorrow. See you later unk.” I walked into the house.

              I went to the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of water, my dad was sitting outside next to the pool, so I went to join him.

              “What’s up? You said you wanna talk?” I sat down and looked at the pool; I can’t even remember the last time someone actually got into it.

              “I’m sure you saw your uncle leave and caught you up to speed of what is taking place tomorrow. He took a sip of his henny, and looked my way.

              “Yes, he did, tomorrow people will know not to mess with Ghost,” I sipped my water. I heard the front door open and I turned to look; Blu was walking in with stuff in her hands.

              “I gotta go show he were her wing is, are you cool, pops?” I stood up and started to walk away.

              “Yeah, go help your sister; I am going to lay down for a while. Not feeling so good today, the doctor will be here tomorrow and he wants to sit down with the family. Please spread the word.” He got up and went inside.

              I followed and walked up to Blu, the movers were outside, unloading the truck. She just stared at me.

              “You want me to show you your room or not?” I gave her a blank stare and walked up the stairs. She would be on the third floor; it was pretty plain up there, so she could do whatever she wanted to it.

              “Well here you are, if you need anything you know where my room is. Oh and by the way you should call, Skie.” I walked to my room to be with my Future.

              I heard screaming and I ran to my room, when I opened the door there was blood all over the sheets, where Camila was laying.

              “Baby, we have to get you to the hospital. I grabbed her a pair of sweat pants and a different tank top and carried her out the house. I sat her in the car and drove fast as hell to the hospital.

Skie

              I sat on my bed and cried, I couldn’t believe I acted the way I did. I just got scared of losing people I cared about. It took me forever to find someone like Blu, so when she said break up, I went off. I could get a little crazy at times and it’s a side I don’t show, I was afraid Blu wouldn’t want to be with me. I tried calling her a million times, with no answer. I was waiting for my phone to ring. A few hours have past and still no call, I picked up my phone and scrolled until I saw Wife and hit call. I was praying that she would answer, if she didn’t, I would be even more hurt.

“Hello, I was gonna call you back, you know? I was in the middle of moving and I just finished now I need to unpack.”

              “I just needed to know that we are okay; I know I acted crazy yesterday I just didn’t know how to take what you were saying.” I put on my Adidas track suit and shoes to match.

              “I was just stating something that we are going to need to discuss sooner or later, I’d rather it be now though.”

              “Can I come over? I mean if you don’t want to see me, I will know why, but I need to see you. “

              “You can come over, Skie, just call when you pull up to the house. I’ll see you when you get here.”

              We hung up the phone and I grabbed my keys. I was scared and happy at the same time. I was going to see her. I pulled up to her house and sent her a text saying I was here. I got out the car and waited for her to come out. I was looking at my shows when I felt someone get close, so I looked up.

              “Let’s go inside I’m all the way up on the third floor. I followed her until we hit this massive living room with a kitchen to the side. It was like a mini apartment; she already was making it feel like hers.

              “This is really nice, I bet you’re happy to get this much room to yourself.” I Finished looking around and saw a door that was opened and guessed that was the bedroom.

              “So, you wanna talk about our future? I think we should.” I sat down on the fluffy red couch with black pillows.

              “Skie, after what happened at your place I’m not sure anymore. I’ve never seen that side of you, you were acting crazy.” She looked up from the bin she was digging around in and looked at me.

              “I know and I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be that way. I wasn’t thinking, I felt like I was going to cry and I didn’t want to in front of you,” I grabbed a pillow and put it in my lap.

              “I forgive you, I just really think we should talk about not being together for the year you’re gone. We can still keep in contact maybe even add a few rules.” She walked over and sat next to me.

              “I don’t wanna start the next chapter in my life being single again, I want you to support my dream and be by my side. Right now I feel like you’re bringing me down,” I looked at her with a serious expression.

              “I am happy that you got it, I really am I also want you to follow your dreams.” She gave me a sad look. I’m not trying to bring you down.

              “Then you need to act like it Blu, because I’m taking this role. We can do long distance for a year. We both will have our careers to keep our minds off getting sad. There also is a thing called vacation time and planes.” I gave her a smile.

              “I guess you’re right, I was just upset and being a little selfish.” She stood up and went back to unpacking her kitchen.

              “Well I guess I should get going and let you unpack,” I went to walk out the wing when she stopped me.

              You know you can move in here tell you leave. so we can send more time together. She stood there picking at her nails.

              “Is that what you really want? Because you were just trying to break up with me.” I crossed my arms, I didn’t know what I should do.

              “Yes, I mean its big enough, there is a master bedroom and a mini bedroom. You’re gonna need a place to keep your bed and everything while your away.” She gave me a slight smile and moved closer.

              “I guess you’re right, I’ll go home and pack. I’ll see you a little later.” I walked out the wing and out the house.

              Once I got into my car I headed home to pack my things. I was excited and a little upset though. I knew things would get better though. My phone started ringing so I pulled over and answered it. It was my director calling, I wondered what he wanted.

              “Hello this is Skie speaking.” I was hoping they weren’t calling to take back their offer. I would be so damn crushed.

              “Hello Skie darling, I was calling to let you know that I have gotten you a plane ticket for two weeks from now. Things are going better than we thought and want to film right away. See you soon darling gotta go.”

              He hung up the phone before I could even answer, I was in shock; two weeks and my life would be changing forever. If this movie blew up like it said too, then no more privacy for me. I wasn’t sure how Blu was going to take the news, but I did know one thing, I’m making the next two weeks something to remember. Once I pulled up to my house, I hurried to my room and just started throwing clothes in bins and throwing everything else into other bins. I would get the bed and everything sent over tomorrow.

              I decided to call Monroe and have her help me. I found my phone and dialed her number.

              “Long time no talk, get a girlfriend and a movie role and you don’t remember your best friend, sheesh.” Monroe laughed.

              “I’m sorry, I just been busy. But I have a favor to ask, are you free right now?” I bit my lip hoping she was.

              “Yes, I’m free what’s up? And can I bring Anika? Because we are trying to do more things together.”

              “I need help moving, I’m moving into Blu’s place and I need you and your truck. And Anika can come.” I smiled, happy that I got to see them both. About ten minutes later, I heard Monroe’s car pull up, I ran down stairs and open the door.

              “Hey guys!” I opened my arms and gave them both a hug, now I got some stuff packed in my car. I was gonna wait to bring the bed and rest tomorrow but since you’re here with the truck, why not just do it now. “

              We finished packing and loaded everything up, now we were on our way to Blu’s house. I was happy we would get to live together for a little while before I left. I just wish it was longer than two weeks. I had to explain to her when I got there that, I would be leaving sooner. I was so worried about telling her. We just got over a fight, but maybe she would be more understanding. We all pulled up to the house and I sent Blu a text saying we were here; I was getting out the car when she walked out the house. She had a worried look on her face.

              I walked up to her. “What’s wrong bae?” I put my hand on her arm, I was hoping everything was alright.

              “Camila just had a miscarried, so after we move you in I need to go to the hospital.” She looked so sad, I have never saw her this way.

              “Okay well lets hurry up so you can get to the hospital with your brother,” I walked over to Monroe’s truck and let her know that Blu had an emergency and we needed to hurry up and get everything up stairs.

              We all hurried up and got everything up stairs, after that Blu said her goodbyes and left. Monroe and Anika stayed to help me unpack.

              “So how is your relationship with Blu?” Monroe looked at me with a serious look.

              “We are good, we just got over a fight though, about me getting this role. I didn’t talk to her about it first, just took it without really thinking first.” I stopped what I was doing and looked up.

              “Wow you did mess up there, Skie.” Anika said with a serious voice. “If Monroe did some shit like that without going over it with me first, there would be a huge problem.”

              “I know, I should have talked to her, but they asked me on the spot. But things seem to be okay now. I just gotta tell her I’ll be leaving in two weeks instead of two months.” I looked down at the box of clothes I was unpacking.

              “So when did you find this out?” Monroe asked in disbelief. I knew she had to be upset too, we were best friends and I was leaving for a year.

              “I found out on my way to pack all my stuff, so not very long. I was gonna tell Blu when we got here, But since she had more important things to take care of it can wait until tomorrow.” I looked at both Anika and Monroe, I gave them a sad look and went back to packing.
