What's your Sign?

Chapter 9 - Moment of Truth

Teyana POV

I looked at the time and it was only 6'o Clock so I knew it wasn't Jay. Well I was hoping it wasn't. I wasn't ready. I finally got the outfit I wanted and did my makeup.

I heard deep and low voices downstairs. I grabbed my phone and walked to the top of the stair. I couldn't see who my father was talking to but I know he serious by the tone of his voice. I walked down the stairs and walked over slowly.

At the corner of my eye I tried to peep but instead I walked to the kitchen. I looked over and it was my mother. I rolled my eyes. Why? Why today?

"Teyana come speak to your mother" my father said and I tried super hard not to indulge in that.

"Teyana" she spoke and my eyes instantly filled with tears. Her voice. Her voice could change a mind of the most strenuous person. I don't know, her voice is very manipulating. Making me feel like I need to apologize; like I hurt her or something.

I can't believe I was saying this but I was missing my mommy. I haven't spoken to her in months. This is the longest we ever went without speaking to each other.

"Yana " she said and I looked at her and wiped under my eyes. I walked out the kitchen and passed her. I knew it hurt as I traveled up the stairs. She continued to call my name as I reached my room.

It's too much going on today. Today was supposed to be a good day. I sat on my bed with my phone in my hand. I couldn't keep still as I waited for J to get here.

"Teyana"I heard a knock on the door and I shot my head up as my mother stood in my door way. She laid her hand on the door frame.

"Yes" I spoke and she walked over and sat down next to me.

"Look I need to talk to you"

"It's fine I understand, you don't mean it and you won't do it again" I said and placed my phone on the bed. I was sick of hearing the same thing. 'The apology and I won't do it agains' was something I don't have time for.

"No Teyana like seriously" she spoke and I looked away. " I haven't spoken to you in months because I knew you didn't want to speak with me and I mean who would after that night. Baby I love you a lot and I don't know what I would do without you. During those last few months I knew what it felt like to literally lose everything. I missed your presence and your consisted love to only me"

I wiped under my eyes as the tears fell into my lap. I would be lying if I didn't says I missed my mommy. At one point in my life, when my parents were together, she was my bestfriend. I don't know what happened. This whole divorce thing has taking a toll on everybody.

"I want to apologize for ever putting my hands on you because of my emotional and mental pain" she spoke and I wiped my face and sucked it up. I get real emotional when it comes to my mother "I know you're not going to forgive me now or tomorrow but I just needed you to know that. I will talk to you soon but that was eating me up alive"

She kissed my cheek and I sat still without movement. She got up and walked to my door and opened it.

My mother is a very strong woman. Nothing ever breaks her. Well we never see that it does. She holds such pride in what she believes in. She's always been passionate in every word she speaks. I don't know what it is about a Scorpio woman. They're very mysterious and deep as the ocean. Depending on the mood they can be calm, I guess. They love clear endings and beginnings with no grey areas. They shouldn't be taking lightly at all. They can some times be controlling and self-destructive. Like when I told her she is dealing with self-deception. She is beating herself up over something she can't change.

"Mommy would you like to stay for dinner?" I asked her and she turned around with a smile on her face that read relief.

"Sure" she spoke and I got up and grabbed her hand as we walked down the stairs. My father instantly smiled as he saw us walking down the stairs.

My mother and I walked in the kitchen and she was telling me how I should prepare the plate.

Jermaine POV

It's 7'oClock and I have been standing outside of Teyana's house for thirty minutes. Everything hit me like a pile of bricks. Her fucking father is Suni! How did I not know? Shit nobody fucking knew.

I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to handle this shit. I don't know if I should walk in so I don't disappoint her or stay out here and protect my fucking life.

If Suni found out that his daughter was dating a drug dealer that works for him. He would kill me. This shit was eating me up inside as I stood there. The cold air was literally taking the breath out of lungs. I could only imagine Teyana's face once she found out.

I was more scared that I was going to lose Teyana then anything else.

I breathed deeply and stepped closer to the door and knocked. As I waited I looked around, making sure this wasn't a fucking set up. The door soon open and I turned my attention back to the door.

A lady with a loose curly shoulder length hair smiled at me. She was like two inches taller than Teyana and she had a nice body. She had a slow and steady confidence and an alluring, mysterious demeanor. She had this clear brown skin.

"Wow you're tall! Hello" she spoke and I laughed then spoke back " I'm Michelay Carter, Teyana's Mother"

I smiled as I took my hands out my pocket. I knew it was something about her that looked familiar. It was definitely her beauty and persona.

"Hi I'm Jermaine" I said and she shook my hand and then invited me in. I didn't even want to walk in the way my heart pounded fast in my chest. I felt like somebody was sitting on my chest and telling me to breathe.

"Nice meeting you finally" she said then closed and locked the door behind her. Why she locking doors and shit " Teyana!"

"Yes" I heard Teyana's voice and I kind of calmed but I was still fucking anxious. She then came into my view. Just like tunnel vision. All I saw was her. She smiled then came closer slowly and hugged me. I held her around her neck as she held me around my waist.

I got that same anxious vibe from her so it made it worst. She let go of me and looked at me. We smiled at each other. Her mother laughed while looking at us.

"I'm going to go get your father so we can eat" her mother spoke. oh shit! Teyana grabbed my hand as we walked to the table.

"You don't feel that?" I said and she looked at me then felt my head.

"J are you good? You're turning red" she spoke and I swallowed hard. "And feel what?"

"anxiety" I spoke and her eyes widened.

"You feel it too" she spoke softly as we heard foot steps become closer. I looked at her so I wouldn't have to catch his face once he saw me.

"Cole why you sitting at the table?" I heard him say and my stomach dropped.

"why wouldn't he be?" Teyana spoke

"Right why wouldn't he be?"her mother spoke.

Sorry this Chapter is so poorly written. Well compared to my other chapters. In my opinion but I couldn't figure out a better way to get my point across. So I hope you guys enjoy!
