"Now I feel like you've lost your love for me." I spoke, my voice cracking with each word.
"I want to fix this. I really do."
"I apologize for everything I did and said. Especially what I said about your mom. It was wrong of me and I take it all back."
"I've taken it all back. I don't know what else to do, Dom."
"It ain't even just that though, T." He scoffed, walking toward the other side of the room.
"I'm just tired of all this shit, ma. This shit starting to feel like a fuckin' job." He began to express and I listened intently.
"You always tryn' fuckin' argue with me and if we ain't arguin' then it's your moms putting shit in your head about me or about this relationship."
"It's like you can't separate your moms from what we got gon' on and that shit really starting to effect us, T."
"That shit has effected us." He corrected.
"We arguin' more than we lovin', ma and this shit just don't feel right nomore."
"So that's why I wun' break up."
"Not because of what you said about my moms, you apologized, coo, I got over that shit but everything else..." He trailed off.
"I ain't fuckin' with it no more."
Breaking my heart into a million pieces, I stood there with nothing to say. I felt helpless. It was as if he'd made up his mind and there was no going back.
"Dominic, I can separate my mom from our relationship. It's just that one time I needed you to apologize because that's my mom, babe. I couldn't let you just disrespect her."
"You called her a bitch, you know?"
"Yeah, I know." He nodded slowly.
"And that's why I did whatchu asked. I apologized because I knew I was wrong for callin' your moms out her name."
"If I felt like I wasn't wrong then I wouldn't have."
"But that still don't change shit, T." He went onto say.
"Your moms told you to make me apologize and you did that shit with no hesitation even threatenin' to leave me if I didn't." He scoffed.
"But I wasn't really going to, Dominic. I just wanted to get it over with so we could go back to how good we were doing before that."
"That ain't the fuckin' point." He spoke sternly, making me look him in the eyes.
"When I found out you was cheatin' on me, on the account of your moms, she ain't apologize to a nigga once and you ain't make her either."
"Yeah, we talked but even then you made me go and see her, you ain't bring her by my spot. I had to go to her and I was forcedto sit down and talk, it wun' the other way around. Which it should've been."
"And even then she ain't fuckin' apologize."
"But you know what else, ma. You ain't make her apologize either.."
"Babe, I kn-"
"But you was quick to make me." He cut me off before I could even get my words out and I sighed deeply.
"Dominic, listen.."
