WICKED: HEXED TWO || URBAN (CB)

Chapter 29

Milo Delavan
the following day, Thanksgiving evening
My palms were so sweaty, I had to keep wiping my steering wheel down with a baby wipe every 5 seconds. It wunt just because of my glandular issue but because I was actually nervous to see Abellas family.

I liked her family for the most part. But shawty had two big ass brothers who looked like they would break my ass in two. Then she had a lil sister who ain't like me for whatever reason.

Her parents were cool. They just thought I was someone that I wasn't. They also pressured me to put a ring on her finger one day.

I just didn't know if I wanted that kind of commitment. At least with her.

Rolling down the windows in my car, I let some of the cold air seep in.

"Oh my gosh! Milo!" She hissed. "It's freezing today."

I looked over at her shivering in the passenger seat. "My bad."

Then I rolled the window back up.

"Are you hot or something?" She asked.

"No my hands are just sweating OD." I huffed. "More than usual."

She looked at me with confusion. "So you are hot?"

"No. I'm just overthinking and stressing right now. I shoulda smoked before this." I scoffed.

"Wait, why?"

"Seeing your family." I admitted.

"You met them before Milo." She chuckled. "Why are you afraid now?"

I took a deep breath. I ain't wanna tell her the real reason. I was just doing this to avoid Anais and Luca, flirting in front of my face. Which shouldn't be a problem considering I had a girl, right? Nope. Knowing me, I was gone get jealous as hell seeing the two.

Shit...I had a relationship with shawty too. At one point that was my girl. AND I had a kid with ha. Why couldn't that be us? Why couldn't I be the one to get her back like Luca was seemingly doing? I noticed his every move. The way she smiled at him, the way his aura glowed. Just they energy in general. It gave off rekindling romance vibes.

I also couldn't tell Bella that I was afraid of her parents asking me to pop the question to her. Abella acted like she didn't care whether I did it or not.

But I knew deep down she wanted to get married and start that cliché American family. I couldn't see myself with Abella in the future anymore. I couldn't. And that put a lot of pressure on me to want to tell her I think we should break up.

Then she'd want to know why, I'd be single, watching Anais from afar. It was just a situation I ain't wanna be in. Not right now at least.

Taking a deep breath, I answered her question. "I guess it's normal for me to get nervous around ya family. At least for the first couple of years. I ain't been in the picture that long."

"Yes you have." She smiled, hitting me in the lap. "We're going on four years next month."

Shit four years passed already. I was with Abella for four long years. It's crazy how I had all the time in the world and it still felt like it was going by fast.

"Damn...we been together that long?!" I exclaimed.

She nodded her head. "Mmhm. I am so excited for our anniversary."

Which reminded me...when the fuck was that? I couldn't remember.

She tugged on my chin hairs from the passenger seat, smiling at me. Shawty was so in love. I kinda felt bad.
