##Derin##

I gotta leave in two days. I don't want to go but I have to go back to Amber. I've been Rehearsing so she don't look at me strange. I got to go to work but when I get off I'll have to talk to her. I hope she don't get mad at me.

Joana: What you thinking so hard about?

She said handing me my breakfast.

Her smile in the morning was unbeatable, she was starting to have that pregnancy glow.

Derin: Um Nana when I get back we need have a serious talk. I want you to keep an open mind.

Joana: Sure babe.

She said kissing my forehead.

Joslyn: Sister please come by I need to talk to you. P😭lease

Joana: Are you okay? 🥺

She send me the address I got dress to see what's going on with my little sister. I got infront of this townhouse. It looked nice. I knocked. Joslyn open the door and led me inside. My Dad and my Mom was waiting for us in the living room. I should of know this is a trap.

Dad: Someone told me you shaking up with Derin?

Mom: Baby.

Joana: It's not shaking up, we love each other. Am carrying his baby.

Dad: You think carrying someones baby means your in love? Joana your giving him the milk for free who's going to want the cow?

Joana: It's not like that.

Mom: Wasn't he dating that one white girl? What happened to her honey?

My mom was trying to be calm and collective while my dad was going off.

Joana: I am not sure but he moved in with me.

Dad: Let me guess with a bag?

You so stupid. It's my fault your so stupid.

Joana: Am not stupid.

Dad: Chat pa la sourit pran kay (Cat is not here Mice take over the house)

Mom: Did he tell you he wants to marry you because you are the mother of his child?

Joana: It's twins

I said smilling

Dad: Gad figi'w ou San respè( look at your face you have no respect). Ou pa borik(you not a donkey) how you gone let him climb you when he wants With no words on the future? You acting grown and you can't even see when your getting played, imbecile.

Joana: I don't have to take this.

Dad: I'll tell you what you are going to do. Your going to move your ass back in this house. It's obvious with 27 years under your belt you can't escape stupid.

I furiously left my mom and dad house. Am not stupid I know he loves me. He told me he loves me. I could ask him about the marriage thing but am sure it's going to be a yes. When I pull up at my house his car was there. My heart recovered instantly. I rushed to the door. I wanted to surprise him so I tip toe inside. He was on the phone haha probably business. I got closer to put my hand over his eyes to ask him "guess Who?"

Amber: It's 6pm, you get off at 5pm. Tell me you over at Jerry's house and not over Joanna's, so help me God!

Derin: I hear you am coming home dam you always tripping.

Amber: I left for a week to visit my parent why our house looks unhabitable? Where have you been These past few days Derin?

Derin: Amber!

Amber: I swear your like a stray dog who's soo bad with fucking direction who don't know where home is?

Derin: I miss you too. How was your trip

Amber: Your over at Joanna's aren't you?

Derin: You like to make assumptions

Amber: Derin don't insult my intelligence. Am not like those you dated. We talking about our future so I am not going to take this from you

Derin: Yeah, yeah I know am coming . Alright.. Am coming... Bye love you!

She hung up. She sound mad.

I walked to the bed it squeak he got out the bathroom.

Derin: Hey your back?

He said trying to act natural.

Derin: So Amber came home and um I gotta go.

I had no words, No thoughts, He have this pattern.

Derin: Thats what I wanted to talk to you about.

Joana: You didn't mean anything you said this past week.

Derin: Thats not true.

He had the nerve to try to kiss me. I grab what ever was arm reach. sadly I only found a water bottle.

Joana: Get out! Get out!

I said kicking and punching him out the door. I throw his stupid ass bag out with him and everything he bought for these babies.

##Derin##

She did not take it well.

I drove home still looking at her throwing things outside. Sigh

I got to my house to find Amber outside pist. I park the car and walked inside.

Amber: Babe what happend to your face?

Derin: Long story.

Amber: Babe!

She said In an soft tone. Then Joana dad came by.

Joana Dad: Let me talk to you outside.

Derin: Yes

We walked outside to the grass

Joana dad: You did something I did not appreciated

Derin: I don't follow

Joana dad: You know you want to be with this white girl, I don't appreciate you giving my daughter hope at all. Your wasting my daughter. She has potential to be a good wife.. huhh.. You are young good for you. You are a handsome young man I get it. But we treated you like family. You don't hurt family. Is it that you don't love my daughter?

Derin: I do love her

Joana dad: No, you see when you love somebody you care about their heart. What you know will hurt them you don't do it. You protect them. A woman is like a flower. You have to be the sun that helps her shine. I doubt you will have a chance with my daughter again.

Derin: Don't say that

Joana dad: I came here thinking of making several threats for you to leave my daughter be. Give her, her chance to find someone to make her happy. Not for just a week. But looking at you. I just feel bad for you.

He waived his hands and left.
