Everything Eventually – Jamiya Taylor

“Maybe we can talk about things in a more… controlled environment.” “And you think your crib is the perfect place for that?” He asked, raising an eyebrow after he paused the music. I nodded. “At least we won’t have to worry about nobody walking in on us.” I responded, forcing a small smile on my face. A part of me hoped that we still had that telepathic connection to where he could catch my drift.

I told myself I wasn’t going to do this. Not tonight, not with him. I had boundaries now, real ones. I’d stitched them together after a year of keeping my body quiet and my heart even quieter. Twelve or so months of saying no. No touching, no late-night temptation, no letting anyone close enough to rearrange me and what I had worked so hard to keep together.

It was the only way I knew to feel whole again. Demetri has never been just anyone. The moment I stepped out of the studio, I felt that old, amicable pull. The one that started low in my stomach and spreads, warm and unsettling. He didn’t even have to touch me. Walking beside him charged the air around us, like the whole block was leaning in to listen.

The air felt different around him. He moved with that easy confidence that used to irritate me, partly because it drew everyone in and partly because I’d never truly escape it myself. I kept my steps measured, casual, like I wasn’t hyperaware of the space between our bodies, like I couldn’t feel every memory we’d left unfinished tugging at my spine. I tried to play it cool.

I tried to pretend that I didn’t notice how his cologne slid under my skin the way it used to. Tried to ignore the way his laugh curled around me, soft and dangerous. A whole year without wanting anyone, and suddenly my body was remembering him all on its own. Ready to burst open at the seams to welcome him in and give him all of me. And honestly, that scared me. Abstinence has been my safe place. My reset. Proof that I could live without being desired, that I didn’t need the heat of someone else to feel alive.

Demetri looked at me and all that discipline just… wavered. So when I heard myself inviting him back to my place, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. My voice didn’t shake, but everything inside me did. I kept my eyes straight ahead, afraid that if I looked at him too long, I’d see the woman I used to be staring back. The one who gave in too easily. The one who probably loved him too much. I heard him say, “lead the way,” and something in me cracked open.

Something soft, something I thought I’d buried. A thing that I didn’t think would be so willing to rear its face again.

On my mama, you do.” I stomped around the room, snatching whatever I could from the dressers and the closest we shared, tossing a random mixture of clothes into a suitcase so I could leave.

Demetri stood at the door of the bedroom, leaning against the frame like he always did. Hands shoved into the pockets of his sweatpants, he dipped his chin and pursed his lips, his eyes scanning mine as he tried to figure out what to say next. Heat flooded my cheeks, causing the tears that stained those same cheeks to dry. Or maybe the speed at which I was stomping around had dried them up. I was grateful that the tears were drying up because I had spent all morning crying, spent all morning sitting on the same balcony that we’ve fallen asleep together on.
