In Love With A Gangsta

Chapter 10

    Eric was silent. He didn't say a word after I told him the reason why I didn't want my parents to meet him. I was getting scared of his increasing silence.
   "Ricky?",I questioned softly
He didn't move an inch.
    "Eazy?"
Still nothing.
     "Eric, please say something. You know I don't care if you're black, white, blue or a rainbow. I like you and I want to see you. Just say something please?!
     "You're parents aren't gonna like me because I'm black??", he incredulous
     "Eric-"
     "So you're parents are racist motherfuckers? And excuse my language".
I sighed. "No it's just-"
"Just what?", he said getting up from the couch and going into the kitchen. I followed behind him.
"They just don't want me dating black men"
"Why?"
"They think black men are trouble and-you what, it doesn't matter because I wanna be with you and I don't care what they say".
He got up and started pacing slowly. "This is why you don't want me to meet your parents?"
"Yes, because I don't want them coming between us"
"And if they find out about us, what's gonna happen? They gonna take you away from me or something?"
I sighed. "Maybe, I don't know. But I know they'll be livid about it."
"Gabriela, I need sometime to think about this"
I frowned. "Think about what, Eric?"
"About us"
"What about us?"
"This, Gabby!! You and me", he said pointing between us.
   "What you us? I don't want to leave you, Eric.
   "I know, me either. But I don't want you getting in trouble because of me if your parents find out about us. Then I may never see you again"
My eyes fill with tears. "So you're breaking up with me?". Even though he never asked me to be his girlfriend, I can't help but have this feeling. I know he's scared and I don't blame him. But I didn't tell him this to leave me.
     "Baby, no. I hate this as much as you do. I think we need some space. For you, Gabriela. I want you to make sure this is what you want."
    "Ricky, I do-"
    "You don't know that for sure"
At this point, I'm full on crying. I know his intentions are good and I'm glad he's thinking about me but I want him to know I want him still, regardless of what my family may think. I'm not giving up on us. I want him and I know he wants me too.
    I wipe my eyes and look at him dead in the eye. "Fine. But this isn't over for us, Eric. I'm not giving up on what we have. I'm gonna fight for you and I expect you to do the same for me"
I walked out of the house and called for a taxi home. I meant what I said to him. If he thinks I'm just gonna let him go, then he's dead wrong. I'm already in to deep to just walk away.
I got home and ran up to my room. My parents were gone for the day so it was just me and my thoughts. I was so caught up in my mind that I almost didn't hear the door bell ring.
I got up walking down stairs. Thinking it was Eric and he'd come to apologize and say he wanted to make it work, I got excited. I cleaned my face cuz I had been crying, put on a little make up and bounded down the stairs to open the door for him.
"Baby you came for me-"
I paused and looked in horror at who was standing in front of me.
"Hey, babe. I'm home", Jose said smirking

😱😱😱😱. He's back. If you don't remember Jose was the ex boyfriend I mentioned briefly in Chapter 7. He was the bad boyfriend she had that was real, real possessive and abusive to her. Just a bad guy. He's gonna cause a lot of problems for Eazy and Gabby, along with her parents when they find out that she's dating Eric. I plan on making Jose a really bad guy and the stuff I may make him do will be crazy. Just a warning. Jose is a little psychotic lol. But that will be explored as the story goes on. Please leave comments/suggestions/ideas/votes or whatever and tell me how you feel. Thanks for reading😀
