"So you finna go?" Meek straight faced. I nodded my head yes and fixed my white shoulder less top. "I gotta go to work." I shrugged. He smacked his lips and pulled me into him. "It's yo mommas business, you can show up when you want to." He towered over me.
Everyone thinks that because I don't actually work for someone, I choose my schedule. I don't. People make appointments so I have to be there before them. So everything can be prepared for them to just sit in the chair and get done.
"Meek you know it's not like that. Come on." I rubbed his face. He hugged me tightly and pecked my lips. "Bye." I wiped his lips off from my lipgloss.
We walked away from the park to our cars, and he opened the door for me. I closed it and let the window down, ready to hear his whining. Go through this every time I have to leave him.
"I'll see you later baby I promise. Now gooo." I mushed his head away.
He kissed my lips one more time before walking off to his car. I pulled out and headed to the shop. Seeing him behind me, turning down a street once he saw I was at the shop. Every time I leave he does that.
Follow me and when I get there, he'll turn away. I wonder if he think he's slick. Can't be when he's the only one out here with a light blue charger.
Momma was just opening the doors when I walked up and kissed her cheek. "You was supposed to already be here and have the doors opened. Don't let that boy distract you Tanya. Already know I don't like him." She mumbled the ending.
Yea, momma doesn't like Meek. Something about his family being ignorant and disrespectful. I've met his family and yes they're different compared to us. But we can't expect everyone to be raised the same.
"I know Momma. I'm sorry." I held the door for her to walk in. She side eyed me and sat her stuff down. I'm about to deal with this all day.
If she doesn't like something for me, she'll make it known. When I first brought Meek to her, she didn't even say anything to him. Just smiled and walked away.
Once he left she told me he wasn't it. Just flat out said no. We've been together 3 months now and I really like him. He's showed me new things. Stuff that my family would probably kill me for being around.
But i'm grown.
"Onika i'm not playing when I say that boy is trouble. You saw how his family acted when we had to meet them. That can't possibly be what you want."
Who is she to tell me what I want?
But...I won't say anything.
"Momma I don't know. His family has nothing to do with me and him. We're our own people. He's respectful to me and he's kind. Not ignorant and disrespectful. I think I really like him." I set my station up.
During that whole thing I didn't look at her. I just know she's staring in to my soul with those eyes. Those eyes would make me change my mind about anything.
