☾✨ livin’ la dolce vita

❛   you look like a mess, dear.   ❜   he points out, propping his head on his palm.   ❛   by the looks of it, you almost look as jet lagged as i am.   ❜

amari’s certain his feet are glued to the floor, that he won’t be able to move away, no matter how much he wants to. he doesn’t know what he’s supposed to say nor do, so he stays there, unable to utter a single word until she mentions new york. “yeah, no, ‘cause you’re the only one that can move away from there, right?” his tone is dry and he’s aware of how bitter and hurtful it sounded, but he can’t do anything other than that. 

“Is it wrong that one of my favorite parts about my job is how easy it is to tell when someone fucked up?” She took a sip of her tea, wincing slightly at the heat, before setting it back down to cool more. She looked at the other with a wry smirk before continuing. “I might as well ask them, ‘On a scale of one to ten rose bouquets, how pissed off is your partner?’ It’d give me all the info I’d need.”

reya chews at her bottom lip, pondering the question. “well, wouldn’t that take the fun out of it ?” she asked in between sips of her coffee, “but if you put a sign like that up i’m sure you’d get answers.”

being in new york hurt so badly after reya left that amari moved away and into a much smaller apartment, one that he hadn’t been able to call ‘home’ at any point. it wasn’t enough, though. he kept hoping she would show up, he could almost picture her taking baths or making coffee, and knowing that she wouldn’t be there had started messing up with his head. so much so that he jumped into the opportunity to bring the gym to chicago and manage it himself as though he knew what he was doing.

the new place was starting to grow on him as the minutes went by, the idea of making this city his was something he was very fond of… until he straight up crashed with no one but reya. after the collision, he had to take a step back and blink a few times to make sure it was her. it couldn’t be, it couldn’t be. then the other’s voice hit him like a train and it took amari a second to be able to shake himself off the trance he was in. “what the… fuck?” he breathed out with difficulty. “you can’t… fuck, what are you… chicago, huh?”

walking down the street, her thoughts distracted her from paying attention to her surroundings. it had been months since reya wordlessly disappeared from the comfortable life she knew. from amari’s life and most importantly, the life that they were starting to build together. she was reminded every time she saw the ring dangling from the chain around her neck, every time her sister or friends said that he’d been asking about her again, and every time she almost hit send at 2 in the morning with an ‘i miss you’ text. she desperately tried to push him out of mind. especially on days like this where she missed him the most. she just had to get up and get through the motions. suddenly, she was jolted out of her thoughts as she had mindlessly bumped into someone. “oh shit, i’m so--,” looking up, her sentence was cut off as she looked up at him in shock, “oh my god.”
