====================
Gary pulled into the driveway and blinked nervously at the main door into Destiny's apartment. The four months they have spent apart has convinced him there's no one else out there for him, that it has to be Destiny or no other woman.
Since they separated, the relationship between them degenerated very quickly. While with the passing of each day, emptiness replaced the space Destiny filled in his life and he began to miss her, for Destiny, her soul found solace in the heart of another man and she drifted farther away from Gary.
He has now realized that though he felt she had her faults, staying with Destiny for the joy she brings to him far outweighs her excesses. But she is heady about getting back with him now.
"Please, at least hear me out," he said to her on their last phone conversation. "It's over, Gary, move on!" she said to him impassively and hung up on him. That was the last time she would pick his call. All others went to voice mail until she got irritated enough to block his number on her cell, and then his calls started bouncing back in his face.
"Really?" Gary gasped, perplexed, and wiped sweat off his forehead. 'Breaking up shouldn't turn us to sworn enemies of each other,' he said in a text message that wouldn't deliver. He phased out, but not for long before his soul resumes craving badly for the most beautiful black girl in the world.
It's 10 am this Saturday and Destiny's day is just about starting. Denzel would soon be coming over, and she wants to get herself sexy for him. A friend of Denzel invited him for a book launch starting at 1 pm and he'd be taking Destiny along.
Gary stepped out of his white Nissan GT-R anxiously. She was always forcefully part of his decisions and he hated it then, but now part of what he misses about her. He chose the model, she chose the colour, white being one of her favourites.
She downed a cup of creamed coffee and set the oven timer at 1 Hr: 20 Min. That would be enough to get the bread ready while allowing her enough time to fix herself. Swaying her black derriere out of the kitchen, she made for the bathroom. Then the doorbell rang.
Who is that? She asked herself since she wasn't expecting anyone but Denzel this morning, and that isn't Denzel at the door.
"Who's there?" Destiny asks with some measure of irritation in the tone of her voice. She's looking through the peephole but can't see anyone.
"Destiny, it's me," Gary replied.
"Oh fuck!" she hissed and turned around to head back into her bathroom.
"I am on my knees, Destiny. That's why you can't see me through the peephole. I am on my knees, please!"
His cry struck a chord in Destiny's heart, and despite how so much she wanted to walk away and ignore him, it would please her to see him on his knees, just for spite.
She turned around and eagerly opened the door, and truly, there he was, on a white T-shirt she handpicked for him the last time they went shopping, on light blue denim jeans he fought to pick for himself, and most importantly, on his knees.
"Gary, it's over. Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend?"
"Please, let me come in, let's talk."
Destiny looked around and tilted her heads backwards, looking into the sky over their neighbourhood and inhaling the universe in one long deep breath. A congress of crows flew east and a Boeing flew west. Away from the sky and back on the ground where men tread, it appeared no one was in sight, or at least at close range.
"There's no space inside my apartment for you Gary, just like there's none in my heart for you. If you aren't comfortable on your knees, you can go back home."
He exhaled slowly, hoping the fear and anguish in his soul came out with that breath.
"This is home, Destiny. You are home."
"I gave you three weeks to get your act together, but you thought you had a chance with Senator Palmer's daughter. I dumped you. She dumped you. You lost, Gary, like that Manchester United β Ipswich Town game, 9 β 0."
Gary looked up at her in dismay. She's too unmoved by his show of humility and would rather humiliate him than show him any amount of consideration.
"5 from me, 4 from her. You, nil! Big loser."
"Destiny, there was nothing between us, you know this. Please be honest. Tell me you only used that as an opportunity to oust me."
"Ok. Yes. What do you want to do about it?"
"Beg."
Destiny snarled at him. "Don't beg me. It's too late. You should have ignored Denzel, but you were too obsessed with what was never a threat. Well, now it is, and it's a lost battle. You accused me of seeing him, now I am."
The thought that he drove her to this bites almost even more than the fact that she dumped him.
"I know what we share. Deep down in your heart, I know what you feel for me."
