You're Mine Only

Like You Hate Me

     "Oh sweetie we are so proud of you." My mom ran up to me with a bouquet of flower after the ceremony. "Thank you mama. And thank you papa." I grabbed them into a group hug, savoring this mile stone. I end the hug pulling Jade from behind me. "U Mama, Papa, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Jade" They give her a reserved smile, giving her a professional handshake each. "I suppose it's nice to meet you Ms. Jade." I give my mom a 'be nice' smile telling her to not bullshit.

      "It's an honor to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Mwangi," Jade says in a huge smile. "So, have you two had sex?" My father questioned, not hesitating to interrogate her. "Papa! Not right now." I say in a hushed yell. "I'm sorry my dear, let's get home though. We need to get home there's a party waiting for you. My mom grabs my head, pulling my  towards the parking lot. "Ok wait, let me say by to Jade real quick." I let go of her grip on my arm, half running half walking to Jade, "Bye baby, pick me up at 8:30, and don't be late." I kiss her on her lips real quick before catching up with my family. 

       'Driving home my mom starts up a conversation after some silence in the car. "So this Jade girl, you like her?" 

     "How could you ask me something like that? I do like her, like a lot she good for me and I would appreciate if you don't judge me." My mom sighed and I could see her head roll behind the head rest. "If you say so baby, we just want what's for you." She throws her hands up in a comedic way, as me and my brother share the same look having been through this situation before.

     Time passed by scarily slow as I conversed with people at my 'graduation party' was which an opportunity for me to network. I got tired of it after the 7th business man asked what where my plans for when I join the company. I squirmed in my seat trying to become comfortable in my tight and itchy dress. "Jade, why are you sitting down? Go up to Mr. Everlanche and ask him something." My mom sips on her third glass of wine. I roll my eyes standing up and walked up to the business after fixing my dress. "Hello Ms. Harris, I hear you are planning to join the company now you have graduated," He smiles with his uncanny valley veneers, fixing his suit. "Yes sir, I plan to work as an intern and work my way up while  get my associates degree." 

      "That's great to hear Ms. Harris, now if you excuse me I have something to attend to." He rushed off to join a lady assumably his wife. I pull out my phone to text Jade trying my hardest to pass time, 

Jade: I can't believe it's only 6 I can't wait to fuck your brains out

Salem: You have to stop texting like that

Jade: Idc I need you rn

Salem: Ik baby just wait a few minutes. Also will we be alone bc i can't even think abt having sex with that many people in your house.

Jade: I'll find a way to kick everybody out, and wear cute underwear, sum for me to tear off.

Salem: Kk, I gtg tho see you at 8

     I put away my phone and walk up to my father pulling him away from what I'm sure is a boring conversation, "Daddy, how fast can you make everyone leave?" I ask straightening out his tie and suit, "Why, princess?" He questions my query knowing I'm up to something. "I'm going to have Salem stay the night, and I don't want any distractions." He sets his glass down on a tray holden by a waitress walking by. "Alright sweetie, I'll come up with something. And this Salem, you love her?" I cough up my juice startled by his questions, "Um, I don't know, maybe why"

     He speaks in a hushed tone now, "This is the most I've seen you care about another person. All you talk about is her, I wasn't born yesterday that's what love looks like." He pulls me to the side putting a hand on my shoulder. "Yeah, I think I do love her."
