WhenILoveYa: Chapter 24.5

Chris

After waking up from that crazy ass dream, dinner went as planned. Rita and I sat across from one another looking, but never speaking, Unk of course had to be as extra as he could with a damn six course meal. My cousins showed their asses eating like animals, and you know auntie wasn't having that for too long. I just continued texting Heather since I needed to get my mind off of this shit.

"Chris who the hell you texting?" Mijo says smacking on another piece of steak

I pretend to cover my phone. "Stay out my business nigga!" I joke

"Ummhmm, you need to be over there with your wife." Honey whispers rolling her eyes

"She don't want to talk to me though!" I say so only we can hear

She shrugs her shoulders. "So now you listen? Nigga you never cared to follow directions before."

I huff standing up. "Fine!" I start walking towards her, and our eyes. "Nope..." I say turning around walking back to my seat!

"Aw hell naw! Pussy!" Honey says

"Get your ass over there!" Mijo says through gritted teeth. "Uh Auntie I need you to look at something, come here." He lies looking at me

"I'm coming baby." My aunt says freeing up the seat next to Rita.

Everyone at the table was having their own conversations, so no one was really paying attention to us. I take the seat next to her, and she says nothing, but her eyes never leave mine. Her face is perfect. From the look in her eyes, I can't tell if she's mad, wants to kill me, or if she's okay with this.

I grab her hand. "Rita..." I say lowly dropping my head

"What do you want Chris." She says with attitude. I look up and the corners of her lips have formed a smile. Not just a smirk, but a smile showing all 32 of her beautiful pearly whites.

"What you smiling for?" I say not able to contain smile either.

"Trying to see why it took you so long to speak..." She says turning her body my way

I make a face. "But you rolled your eyes when I said you looked beautiful."

"I know, but I always roll my eyes at you." She touches my cheek and I miss everything about her touch. "How are you?" She asks lowly

"Rita I miss you..." I look up to her

"Chris, how are you! Don't worry about me, I'm fine. I need you to do what you said, and focus on school, or on making Legend's the best club in LA. I'm here to support you, not distract you. I thought about what your uncle said, and he had a point." She says and I'm in complete disbelief

"Rita, what?" I ask making an annoyed face

She sighs. "Look at you guys. You have so much talent, and one of the best resources in the world. Mijo and Ty fighting, the August and Keeis fight, and you and your uncle going at it could have totally been avoided." She grabs my hand. "I'm not saying I agree with everything he says, and for damn sure the things he do, but he makes valid points. I don't want us arguing all the damn time getting in the way of you being the you, your supposed to be. You wanted this club for how long? "

"Forever man..." I sigh

"Right, and so far what have you done to get it started? Not shit! You need to find August, tell him that shit has nothing to do with you, and get Legend's started." She smiles. "You love me, but I consume so much of you Chris."

I kiss her hand. "But I want you to..."

"No Chris, just let me be here for you." She pulls me in for a hug and I kiss her lips. She doesn't fight at all, and I even get some tongue action in.
