Seeing her let out a few years pulled at my heart strings. I wanted to reach out to her but I couldn't.
"Did you love him?" I asked.
"Who Rome?" She asked. I nodded my head. "I did. He even asked me to marry him. I met his family he met mine. I was ten toes down for him." She said and I'm not gonna lie that shit had me mad. He proposed to her? I heard of Rome he was an alright dude he didn't do too much but he wasn't top dog. He wasn't for her though. Solo lived comfortably with a nice little apartment, she drove a Honda, she was never decked out in designer but she always looked good. Which is why her and Rome never made sense because Rome was flashy as fuck.
"You loved him like you loved me?" I asked.
"I can't compare the two. With you I loved you but you never really loved me back. Rome did, everything I begged you to do Rome did without a question. Don't get me wrong Rome had his flaws but he loved me at one time you, you just like the thought of me at your disposal." She said and stormed out. I wanted to follow her but I didn't. I let her go. I would be seeing her again.
I was in meetings all day. Like my body was in meetings but my head was somewhere else. I couldn't focus since I seen Solo. I wanted to bombard her with questions and to make her feel my love she claimed I didn't have but I decided against it. I wanted her to want me.
"Son where you been at all day. You got your head in the clouds." My pops said.
"I ran into Solo on my flight in." I said.
"I thought you let that shit go." Pops said.
"No. I never let her go. She let go of me. I can't let her slip away again " I said.
"Son you were selfish back then and I get you were young and wanted to keep her for yourself but you are grown married man. How you think she's gonna feel when you try to pursue her and you are married." Pops said.
"That marriage isn't out of love. That shit is a business. Maria doesn't even live here she has her own life going on in Columbia." I said.
"You think that's gonna matter son? This is Solo we are talking about if you lie to her she's not gonna forgive you?" He asked.
"Solo is back and I need her home with me where she belongs. That's all I need then I'm good." I said.
