Thanksgiving Break

"Tell mom and dad I said hello," David said grabbing me when I picked up my phone.

I ignored his comment and swatted his hand off me and getting out of bed to answer the phone. We'd been spending a lot of time together. I'm not sure if we'd given us a title or anything but it was very obvious that we were an item. He told me that he loved me last week before he left my apartment. I actually didn't say it back. I just kissed him like the awkward girl that I am. He comes to church with me every Sunday and whenever we have family dinner, he joins us.

"Hey, honey. What time are you and Raven leaving?" My mom asked. She hadn't seen us since we left for school in August.

"We have to wait for Auntie Nae, Paris and Yolanda to get off work and then we're getting on the road. What is it.. 2:40 now? So in about an hour." I said starting to pack up my bathroom essentials

"Raven is bringing a guest, do you know anything about that?" She asked.

"No mom. I don't. I haven't been home enough to even feed into her foolishness. I have to go through. I have some last minute errands to run in less than an hour. I love you." I said rushing her off the phone.

"Ok. Be safe. Love you." She said before hanging up.

"Ray, you're taking Braxton?" I asked storming to her room.

"His name is Brandon and yes." She responded not looking up from her computer

"So you're riding with Luther?" I asked folding my arms

"Yes, Hannah. His name is Brandon. Stop being a butthole and say his name right. Just bring David if it's such a big deal.

"It's no big deal. And you know David can't be my guest. Mom already emailed him. She knows his name and she's searched him up. She knows who David is." I said rolling my eyes and turning to walk away.

"Well I guess that's the consequence of dating the professor," She responded sarcastically

"You think I made a mistake?" I asked climbing on her bed

"Mistake? No, not really but we all make them. Sorry for throwing it in your face. Forgiven?" She asked

"Forgiven. Should I invite him? I'm not so much worried about mom, its daddy I'm worried about." I said falling back on the bed.

"Your dad will never let you hear the last of it though. David makes you happy apparently and everyone knows that. I don't see why there would be a problem. You are grown and it's only a 4yr gap. Follow your heart loser" She said throwing a pillow at me as I got up to leave the room

"I wish you could come?" I said to David while walking back to my room.

"I want to meet big man Covington." He said sitting up.

"Yes. I know you do." I said when he laid back down.

"You know you left your leopard print panties at my house."He said nonchalantly

"Please don't say that. Actually, don't ever mention that I ever slept at your house. And give those back. That's my favorite pair. Please." I said running my hands through my hair and kissing his forehead.

"Hannah don't stress." He said pulling me on the bed and hovering over me.

"Papa Adam wants his baby girl to be happy so maybe if he sees how happy you are, he won't give you a hard time. Now give me a kiss." He said before his lips met mine.

As I got deeper into the kiss I heard Auntie Paris' voice followed by Auntie Nea

"Get up," I whispered pushing him off of me and running to the bathroom.
