I Don't Do Disrespect (Marina)

Chapter 70

Mayas POV

We're in November now, Carina and I have been together for over a year and were great. Carina finally found a job she wanted and she starts on Monday,

It's a little dance studio not far from where we live, she'll be working with children in beginner dance for now and if she wants to take more classes to move up she can,

She is super excited about it and even went shopping to get little gifts for her new students.

However, even if she does have this new job, tonight is her final night at the club, I have tried to convince her not to go but she doesn't listen to me when it comes to that sort of thing

She wants to go and say goodbye to her friends in person so I'm not going to stop her, I know her and another girl were pretty close

After our talk about babies, I feel like we have been closer in our relationship, everything we have talked about so far in our relationship were on the same page,

Sharing my life with carina has been the best and the most scariest thing of my life. I mean for years I wasn't in a relationship. I slept with random people at bars to get my fix and that was it

But this is it for me, I no longer want to do that. All I want now is carina. I'm scared of how much I want her because what if she doesn't want me the same

"Maya! Where is my coffee I just bought?" Carina yells through the house and I smile and shake my head

I left our room and met Carina in the kitchen, she was standing with her hands on her hips and glaring at me

"Hey! Whoa, what is that attitude for?" I ask her 

"I just want my coffee" she complains

"Carina, you have been here for months you know where the coffee is, it does not belong on the counter" I tell her and reach into the cabinet above the coffee maker and pull out the coffee in question

She went to grab it out of my hand and I held it back from her

"Maya!" She exclaims

"Carina what is wrong? What is going on?" I ask her and I put the coffee down and grab her waist, pulling her into me

"It's nothing, I'm fine" she says and tries to get away from me and I don't let her

"Carina... talk to me. What is wrong?" I ask and she sighs and looks to me

"I just- I got this new job and it's something I'm excited about and my instinct is to you know, call my mama but.... My mama wants nothing to do with me" she says and wipes her eyes

"Oh Rina" I sigh and take her hand and guide her to the living room, I sat down on the couch and and she sat right into my lap and laid her head on my chest

"It's stupid, I- I have never needed her approval before but, ugh lo odio" she sighs and I kiss her head and run my fingers through her hair

"It's not stupid love," I say softly and she lets out a shaky breath

"I'm sorry for having an attitude with you" she says and I smile and kiss her head again

"You're perfectly fine, we fixed it didn't we?" I ask her and she nods

I held her tight to me, we didn't say anything, I just kissed her head every few moments until she eventually fell asleep

I hate that her relationship is so strained with her family. It's my fault it is too, if Carina and I weren't together then she would have never wanted to stay in the states and she would have went with her family back to Italy and avoided this whole mess
