Forever Yours - Chapter 5
You've waited for it. HERE IT IS!
We got out the pool and ate. When we were done, I began drying myself with my towel with Angie and Efrain went to get us all sodas. I took my now curly hair out of the ponytail and let it fall down my back. When I was done, I put my towel down and Angie let her hair out.
"Have fun?" I asked Angie.
"Yeah," She smiled big.
"I think his cousin likes you." I smiled to her.
"Which one?" She asked.
"The one with the red swimming trunks." I smiled.
"Well, he's cute."
"Go talk to him. Bag him,"
She giggled. "No, he's coming this way, so I'mma let him make the move."
"Aight, then look cute." I encouraged her, giggling.
He soon went over to us. He had a low-cut haircut, shaped up eyebrows, thin pink lips, hazel eyes, and he had a nice body. He had a forming 6-pack, so it showed he worked out. He had a tattoo on his shoulder of something I couldn't quite make out. He went over to us, licking his lips.
"How are you fine ladies this wonderful evening?" He said as he rubbed his hands together.
"Good," Angie smiled, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear.
I smiled as I began to put on my shorts over my bikini bottoms. I tied my hair up into a high messy bun and put on my gladiator sandals. After I did, I got up and went over to Efrain who was halfway out the glass slide door. He had three sodas in his hands and I stopped him.
"What are you coming inside for?" He chuckled.
"Because, I want Angie to get with your cousin." I said quietly as I grabbed a sprite from his hand.
"With Alessandro?" He asked. "I can get her a hook up if anything."
"Well, let's see if he likes her first."
"He probably does." He said finally. "He likes her type."
"What's her 'type'?" I asked.
"Nice body, long hair, light-skinned." He answered.
"Oh," I said as I turned back to them, taking a sip of my soda. "I'm still hungry, can I get some more food before I head out?" I asked.
"You're leaving already?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's almost midnight and I still got to wake up for tomorrow." I said as I ran my fingers through my hair.
"Aight, come on. I'll get you a doggy bag."
We walked out the back patio and headed over to the grill. I got some ribs, rice, potato salad, and a hamburger. After he put aluminum foil around the food on the plate, I began to say bye to everyone. I said bye to, what seems, like his whole family. I soon, went over to Angie and Alessandro and grabbed my tote bag.
"You leaving already?" Angie asked.
"Yeah, we got school in the AM." I said as I put the bag over my shoulder.
"And what time is it?"
"Like almost midnight." I answered as I realized Alessandro checking me out.
"What are you looking at?" Efrain asked, noticing Alessandro also.
"What are you talking about?"
"No, you know what the fuck I'm talking about."
"Nah, I don't." Alessandro said as he approached him.
"Don't do something stupid."
"Babe, calm down." I said as I grabbed his shoulder.
"Nah, he's acting stupid in front of y'all." Efrain said as he brushed me off.
I sighed. There was no stopping him now.
"Angie, go inside. This is something you don't want to see." I said finally.
"What do you mean?" Angie asked.
Angie's never been there for a moment like this. She's never seen how violent Efrain is. It seems like whenever he gets mad, he blacks out and does whatever he can to get his point across. There's no stopping him. If everyone thought Joey was violent, they should see Efrain after someone pisses him off. There was even a few times that he hit me because I got in the way. Those were the worst times. Instead of getting in the middle of it, I walked over to where Angie was and sighed. I put my tote bag down on the couch and sighed as I sat down. I folded my right leg over my left leg and folded my arms over my chest. Angie sat next to me and ran her fingers through her hair.
"What's going on?" She asked me.
"I guess Efrain thinks Alessandro was looking at me some kind of way." I answered. "It's stupid."
"You want to get out of here?" She asked.
"Yeah."
I stood up and grabbed my things. We headed to her car through the back. She unlocked the doors and I got into the passenger's seat. I put my bag down between my legs. I put on my seat belt and held onto the plate of food. She got into her seat and put her things in the backseat. I sighed as she pulled off. When she dropped me off at my house, I took off my seat belt.
"Thanks." I said as I gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"No problem. Just check on Efrain."
"I will." I said as I got out the car and grabbed my tote bag.
I closed the door behind me and she pulled off. I went over to my stoop and took my keys out from my tote bag. I unlocked the door and got inside. Closing and locking the door behind me, I went over to the kitchen. I put the food in the microwave and went over to my mom, who was in the living room with my dad. They were watching a movie, under the covers.
"Hey." I said as I went over to them.
I gave them both kisses on the cheeks and they both smiled. "Hey sweetie." My dad said to me.
"How did the pool party go?" My mom asked.
"Good," I said finally. "Angie just dropped me off, you missed her."
"Oh, it's okay." My mom smiled at me.
"Is there something up? You two seem happier then before." I said finally.
"Well, actually, there's some news."
"What?" I asked.
"Veronica's moving in." My mom said finally.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
"Yeah, she's moving in and she's going to your school."
I sighed. Veronica's my cousin. She's Miss Perfect. Everything she does is right. She's also known as a boyfriend stealer. She was close to trying to steal Efrain away. She was trying her hardest and Efrain told me. We ended up fighting soon after, also because she's the reason my parents hate Efrain.
I didn't even look at them. I sighed and turned around. Going up the steps I went over to my room and put everything down. Closing the door behind me, I sighed because my cell phone started ringing. I went over to my tote bag and began looking through my bag. I grabbed my cell phone and saw that Efrain was calling me.
"Hello?" I asked as I sat down on my bed.
"Yeah, babe, why'd you leave without saying bye to me?" He asked.
"Because you were starting again, and you already know how everything goes down when you get like that."
He sighed. I didn't say anything to that. He was mad. I hate him when he's mad. He takes things too far sometimes. We would be so perfect if he never got angry. Especially when he's angry at me. Things get ugly. He doesn't hit me or anything, but we argue, name call, and throw things. That's one thing I hate about me and him arguing. Another peeve I have about him is his smoking. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. He's tried to quit, but you already know the typical story. 'It's addictive though.' Blah, blah, blah. The typical.
Instead of him snapping and going crazy about what happened, he sniffled. I listened to him closely and heard him start to cry silently.
"Babe, que paso?" What happened, I asked him.
"Nothing," He said as he sniffled.
"Don't lie to me."
"It's my fucking family, man." He said as he broke down and started crying more.
"Babe, what happened when I left?"
He was crying. I couldn't take it. "My dad picked his girlfriend over me, like what the fuck?" He cried.
"Baby," I said quietly. He didn't answer, he was crying. "Look, meet me at the park, okay?" I asked.
"Aight," He said as he sniffled.
"Aight, by the swings. Bye."
I hung up and put my phone on my bed. I went over to my drawers and changed into a white tee-shirt, black white and gray plaid pajama bottoms, and white black and gray 10 Jordans. When I was done, I went over to my vanity mirror and tied my hair up into a high messy bun. I grabbed my phone and my keys and headed downstairs.
"Mom, dad, I'll be right back, I forgot something at party." I said as I went over to the living room.
They were asleep. I left, closing and locking the door behind me. When I got outside, it was kind of cold. I headed over to the park. When I got to the park, I sat on a swing and sighed. It was cold at night, so I hugged myself and sniffled because of the cold. Soon, I saw Efrain walk towards the swings. I stood up and went over to him. I hugged him tightly and he dug his head into my shoulder.
I held him tightly. He was in my arms for a long time. When he let go, I wiped the tears from his eyes and kissed him. He sniffled and looked at me.
"Tell me, what happened?" I asked as we went over to the bench and sat down.
"My dad, he's picking his girl over me." He said quietly.
"How?"
"She's moving in, and I'm moving out."
"Are you serious?"
"That's what he said."
"Wait, why do you have to move out because of her. There's enough room, right?"
"Yeah, but he wants me to move in the basement, like I'm not fucking moving down there."
"Babe, there's no need for that. If she moves in there, she's going to be in the room with your dad right?" I asked.
"Yeah, but she needs my room for her studio or some shit."
"So, he's giving the room to her?"
"Yeah,"
"Why? Let her use the basement as the studio."
"My dad wants me down there anyway because he doesn't trust me being near her, while he works late at night." He said as he sighed.
"Babe, just talk to him." I said finally. "Don't try to move out all of a sudden."
"Fuck that. He wants her there more than me. So, fuck that shit."
"Babe, just talk to him." I said quietly.
"No." He said quietly as he sighed.
I looked at him, and he looked down. I grabbed a hold of his face with both of my hands and put my forehead against his. I looked him in the eyes. He looked me in mine and I kissed him.
"Baby," I said quietly.
"What?" He answered quietly.
"Talk to him, for me."
He didn't say anything. He sighed and looked down. I looked at him and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"So, you're not going to?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I will." He sniffled. "Babe, I love you." He said quietly.
"I love you too." I smiled as he gave me a kiss.
After talking to him for about 20 minutes, I began walking home. While I was walking, I saw someone who looked familiar. I kept walking though, I wasn't sure who it was. They came closer to me, it was Joey.
"Hey." He smiled as he stopped me in motion.
"Hey," I said finally. "What are you doing out here, just cruising around?"
"Nothing, just here chilling. I should've asked you the same thing."
"I just went to go see my boyfriend." I answered.
"Yeah, Efrain, right?" He asked.
"Yeah," I answered.
He smiled and bit his lip. "I hope it works out."
"Thanks." I said shocked.
"Why you seem so shocked?"
"Because boys don't usually wish girls 'good luck' when they're in a relationship." I smiled.
"So, what are you trying to say? I'm like every boy out there?" He smirked.
"I'm just saying." I smiled.
"I know, and I'm just saying."
I chuckled and ran my fingers through my hair. He smiled at me. "Shouldn't he be walking you home or something though? It's kinda late for you to be out alone."
"I know, but he can't take me home." I said quietly.
"Why not?"
"Long story." I answered as my phone vibrated. I reached in my pocket. It was my mom. "I got to go." I said finally.
"Alright, see you." I smiled when he smiled his perfect smile at me.
"See you," I smiled back.
I headed over to my house and when I got inside, I unlocked the door and inside. My mom and dad were awake in the living room and I sighed.
"Where were you?" My mom asked.
"I had to go get my keys. I told you guys when I left."
"You're not supposed to do that when we're sleeping."
"Yeah, I know, but I got what I needed so I'm going to sleep."
I went upstairs to my room and sighed as I closed the door behind me. I plugged in my blowdrier and straightener and blowdried and straightened my hair. When I was done, I looked at the time. 2:45AM. I only had about 3 hours of sleep left for the night. I disconnected everything and put it all away, cleaned everything and went to sleep, after wrapping my hair.
The next morning I woke up and took a shower. 30 minutes later I got out and brushed my teeth. I dried myself off and put on lotion, deodorant, perfume and my underwear and bra. I looked in the mirror and sighed as I went over to my closet. I changed into a red 'miss may i' tee shirt with Ronald McDonald on the front, dark skinny jeans, Air Jordan 7 All white, red yellow, and a white belt. I soon let out my straight hair let my side bang out. I put on a long silver chain of a brass knuckles, and my silver rosary, silver bangles on my wrists, silver rings on my fingers, along with my three finger silver name ring, big silver star-shaped earrings, and a silver nose, tongue, belly button, and my marilyn Monroe piercing.
When I was done, I went over to my laptop and saw that it was 8:05am. I was late. I sighed and checked the weather.
After she did, she grabbed her phone from her side table and saw that Berto called her 5 times. She sighed and called him back.
"Hello?" He asked as he answered his phone.
"Yeah, my bad. I woke up late. You left already?"
"Yeah, my mom was bugging me, and I was about to go wait for you at your crib, but I thought you left already." He answered.
"Nah, I wouldn't leave you, Berto."
"You never know."
"You know me though." I sighed. "But alright, I'll see you at school then."
"Aight, bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and sighed. I went over to my closet and grabbed my black leather jacket and grabbed my things.
"Have fun?" I asked Angie.
"Yeah," She smiled big.
"I think his cousin likes you." I smiled to her.
"Which one?" She asked.
"The one with the red swimming trunks." I smiled.
"Well, he's cute."
