MIKA

Dinner

--Mika's POV--

"Is he bringing her?" Mama asks as her and I plate the table.

"He said no," I tell her as Andy walks in.

"Who said what?" Andy asks.

I roll my eyes, "Fortune's not brining Allie."

"Good," he says, but quickly covers his mouth.

As if on cue, Fortune walks through the front door. He looks happy.

"What's got you all smiles?" I ask him as he hugs mama.

"I can't smile when I see my family?"

"Nope," I laugh.

As we all sit down to eat mama attacks Fortune right away.

"Why didn't she come? Does she not like us?"

Fortune almost chokes on his water. "Well after the way you ladies treated her the last time.."

"Seriously Fortune?" Paloma asks.

"Yes seriously. She-"

"Tell her to get over it," Paloma says.

"It's not her-"

"Why are you even with her? Are you having sex?" Mama asks.

Andy almost choked on his drink. I pat him on the back.

"Stop it!" Fortune shouts as he stands and slams his hands on the table.

Everyone looks at him in shock.

"This is why she didn't come!"

"Fortune, sit down!" Mama says.

"No," he replies. "We're together and no we are not having sex. Just stop. Stop and get over your fucking selfs. I like her. I really do. And I'm not going to let any of you ruin it."

Fortune makes his way to the front door.

"We're going to the states for a couple weeks to see her family. Don't bother calling me," he says before slamming the front door.

"Well that escalated quickly," Andy says.

Mama glares at him. I can't help but laugh.

"Mika!" Paloma says.

"I'm sorry," I say as I try to hide my face behind my hands. Andy grips my thigh which only causes me to laugh harder.

"You're something else," mama says as she smacks the back of my head.

"So," Andy starts as he and I clean up the table.

"So.." I reply.

"This public situation..."

"Andy, I don't know. I think we should keep it how it is for now. I slipped up earlier. Which is ok. I don't regret it. I love you and I do want the world to known, but it's none of their fucking business. Once we're married we can be public, if you want."

"I love you," he says as he kisses me.

"I love you."
