Her way

Chapter 10

I sat at the computer and stared at the screen. What the hell did he have my entire portfolio saved on his computer? I leave my portfolio in my desk in my room. Meaning he had to go through my shit to find it. He took the portfolio out the desk, brung it in here and scanned all my pictures onto his computer. Luis is getting creeper by the second. The sound of the house phone ringing shook me from the trance. I ran to the living room to get the phone.

"Hello"

"Hey Mya"

It was mama

"Hey"

I tried to keep it short because I was still very unhappy and upset that she took Luis back after what he did. And she took him back so fast. There wasn't even a point of kicking him out if he was going to be back within hours.

"Me and Luis are going to try to work things out. I know you are probably not liking this at all."

"Your right mama he is a cheater. You can do better."

Mama let out a heavy sigh.

"Luis wants to take us both to dinner tonight and apologize. He want to explain his self. "

Really?

"Mama I'm not going to that shit."

"Mya I get that your upset because he did me wrong. And it's good to know that I have you by my side. But I also need you at dinner tonight to."

"Is Bria coming?"

"She's working late tonight. Luis is also going to talk with her an apologize. "

The last thing I wanted to do was sit at across from this nigga and break bread. Did mama really think this would end well? I can't keep my mouth closed for nothing and I'm going into this dinner beyond mad and frustrated. We are most likely going to get kicked out of wherever we go.

"Alright."

I said and hung up. I walked back into the office and put everything like it was before.

It was now 2:15 an I was anxious to know how Sandy's lunch date went. I wanted to call but I decided to wait until she called me. Mama and Luis should arrive home around the same time, 4:45. I decided to shower and get ready for this horrific dinner. Once out the shower I seen i had a missed call. I preyed it was Sandy. I smiled came across my face as I read her name on the phone screen. I quickly redialed.

"Mya?"

"Yes it's me."

"Calling to give you the scoop."

"Great. So what happened."

"He said sorry so many times I forgot.

He said he's going to try to make things right with your mom but he still wants to be friends with me. "

"Ain't that something."

I said with a look of disgust on my face. He thinks he can have his cake and eat it too.

"Right. Well I agreed to the friend thing only because of the plans we have. He's not going to stop fucking with me. He's like addicted."

She laughed. I listened.

"He said something about dinner with you guys tonight. You going?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Good. Just make sure you don't mess up the plans. It's almost time for me to make my grand entrance. "

I laughed

" I'm the last one to fuck up the plans. I plan on sitting pretty and being quiet through the dinner. I really don't have much to say to either one of them. But if Luis's smart ass mouth gets out of hand then I'm going to put him in his place."

" of course."

"And today I found my modeling pictures on his computer. "

"Really? That's strange. What if he's in love with you."

"Ha, I doubt it. Sounds like he's in love with you Sandy."

"You can have more then one lover ya know.?" I disagreed but I didn't want to go there with her.

"Any sexual contact?" I asked

"Neck kisses. Lip kisses. That's all. Shortly after him and I departed, he texted asking when we could meet again. I replied soon. "

"Yes, soon."

We both laughed. I told her i would give her the details on how the dinner went and ended are conversation. It was actually cool talking to Sandy. She was low key wild child and so was I. As long as we both stay on track everything should be fine.

"That's what your wearing?"

Mama asked as I walked into the kitchen. Disappointment written all over her face. Why would I dress up for this kind of dinner? Honestly Luis is blowing this whole apology thing up. He could say what he had to say right here in this kitchen.

"Yea. Get fancy for what?"

She looked me up and down. I looked her up and down. Mama went and pulled out her little black dress and I pulled out some ripped jeans and a black tank top. Ain't nobody got time for that.

"Ok Luis is waiting for us in the car."

Mama grabbed her purse and keys off the kitchen counter. She was rushing like this dinner was a red carpet event. I didn't want to ride with this dude, but nobody ever asks Mya anything in advance. I always feel like I'm being pushed into shit. And this dinner was perfect example.

I rode in the back seat and kept my eyes on my phone. I texted Bria, she didn't text back. I knew she was busy at work but I needed someone to text. Mama was smiling from ear to ear as Luis told her about his day at work. I just shook my head at her. Bimbo. The whole scene that was taking place in the car made me angry. I wanted to text Sandy and tell her to pop up at the restaurant with all the evidence. The thought made me giggle inside. Mama looked back at me and smiled.

"Glad your moods getting better."

"It's not."

We finally parked at a restaurant called Energy. Never been there before. Luis was planning on spending money tonight. Once inside I felt like all eyes was on me. I was completely underdress and a complete fuck I didn't give. The waitress sat us by the window which was perfect. I could people watch while they chit chatted.

I turned over the menu to the 'margarita' section. A drink was much needed. Luis sat directly across from me and mama next to him. Luis and mama ordered red wine an made small talk with each other until the waiter returned to take our orders.

" get anything you want Mya. "

Luis said not even looking at me.

I looked to see what was the most expensive dish on the menu. Seafood and steak platter and four sides. Yup, that's what I ordered. Mama eyes got real big when I told the waiter what I wanted. She better chill. He did say anything I wanted. I giggled inside. Mama ordered a salmon dish and Luis ordered a T-bone steak dinner.

"I know you don't want to be here Mya, but at least hear me out."

I was looking him right in the eyes waiting for him to continue. The sound of mamas phone directed my attention toward her. She answered. I looked at her in disbelief when I found out it was her job. She had to leave dinner.

"Are you serious mama?"

"If I didn't have to go Mya I wouldn't. This is very important."

"Talk about bad timing." Luis was looking at her like a lost puppy. "

I grabbed my purse so we could all head out.

"Oh no no no. You two should stay. The foods coming you guys just get mine to go. You two need to talk anyways. "

mama got the keys from Luis kissed him goodbye and left.

I was shocked. Once again I was alone with this guy. He smiled.
