《Worth》26

I woke up to my bare body laid up next to tiago and I looked at him while he slept. He slept so peacefully with his arms out. I can't believe we had sex last night and it was truly amazing. Can't say it's better than Trey's but that's something he won't need to know. I ran my finger down his face and he opened his eyes. He wasn't in a deep sleep. I smiled and said, "I love you." I didn't even plan on saying that to him yet but I just had to tell him.
"I love you too",he said smiling.
"Took us a while to get here",I said.
"I agree. Just hope it's foreal."
"Me too."
"How was your night?",he said sitting up.
"Amazing."
"I knew that by the way you was moaning last night",he said with a smirk.
"So why'd you ask?"
"Cause I wanted to hear it from your mouth babe."
I smiled and he got up to go to the shower.
"You can order room service if you want babe. I'm gonna go shower",he said giving me the menu.
"Wait before you go, what do you want?"
"Baby I'll eat anything you order."
"Okay",i said wrapping myself with a white robe provided for us. I looked at the menu and decided to order us some pancakes with bacon and hash browns. I hope they were good cause I had a really big appetite right now. A girl can eat. I looked at my phone and saw it was ringing. It was a unknown number and I opted not to pick it up but it ring a second time back to back so I picked up.
"Hello?",I said kinda annoyed.

"Baby i messed up. I'm sorry",sounded like trey.
"First of all, don't call me baby. Only tiago Can call me that. Second of all, you do what you want. Your a grown man. I don't care who you date, f..., or whatever."
"I know you don't mean that Khia. I know you still love me."
He was right. I did still love him but I wish I could just cut that off but I can't.
"I'm happy now so leave me alone and stop calling me."
"Tell me You don't love me and I'll leave you alone for good."
"I don't love you",i said.
"Come to my house and tell me to my face, then I'll believe you."
"I don't have to prove nothing to you and I'm not going to your house."
"I'll come to yours."
"Trey stop. Just stop. Your really aggravating me right now",i said in fustration.
"Who's aggravtin you bae?",Santiago said with a towel draped around his waist. I quickly hung up the phone.
"My mom. She's tripping because I'm not home",i lied.
"Oh okay. Tell her I'll bring you home soon."
"She already hung up. She'll be alright",I lied again. Santiago came around the bed and put lotion on his body while I took a towel and my phone and went to the bathroom to shower. I closed the door behind me and sighed. I looked at myself in the mirror and I felt so ugly. Every time I lied,I felt that way. I hated lying to Santiago but I didn't want him to find out I was talking to trey and break up with me. I just told Santiago i love him meanwhile trey still has a part of me with him. I hated feeling like i had to choose but i did. I don't want to be unfaithful to tiago cause he's such a great man, he's everything I wanted but I just wish trey had his characteristics. Maybe I was just tripping because trey kept blowing up my phone. Made me feel like he wants me although he never confessed it with his mouth. To a average girl, the decision would be a no brainer but to me it's one of the hardest decisions that I have to make. I needed my best friend for this. I'm gonna have to make a stop by Ebony's house later. I texted Ebony and told her I'm coming over and she responded with happy emojis.

After taking a shower, I changed into my original clothes and saw Santiago already eating. I guess I wasn't the only one hungry. I stole one of his bacon pieces and he didn't mind. He was a real one. He grabbed me and made me sit on his lap.
I entertained him and asked him, "do you have any kids out there I should be worried about?"
"Hell Nah baby. Why?"
"Just making sure I don't sign up for step mom duty."
He laughed and said, "that's not something you need to be worried about with me babygirl."
"Do you want kids? Like somewhere in the future?"
"Yea somewhere down the line but not any time soon."
"How many?",I asked curiously.
"Enough to make a family. I don't really have a number in mind."
"One child makes a family."
"I'll be content with one or three...speaking of family. I'm gonna be out of town for a few days when this semester is over",he said. My heart sunk.
"Why?"
"Remember that my family and I go every year to visit my cousins and aunts and uncles back home?"
"Yeah."
"Yea my parents planned it kinda early this year"
"That's nice but how many days are you gonna be away from me?"
"14."
"That's a whole two weeks tiago",I complained.
"I know baby. My parents are staying for a month but I only plan on staying for two weeks."
"Have You told them yet?"
"Nah i gotta break the news to them some time this week."
"I'm gonna miss you so much."
"Not more than I am babe."
Our relationship was so fragile right now and I don't think it could withstand any overseas distance right now.
