"Leilani, it's only for a couple of hours."

"So, you just want me to stay here with your mom after what she said yesterday?" Odell sighed and looked at me.

It was Mrs. Heather's "Idea" for Karavah to take Odell out and for me to be stuck in the house with her.

"Only for 3 hours, I promise." Odell pleaded.

I nodded my head. "Now you know why I don't like yo keep contact with her. She always ruins some shit for me."

"What if she tries to talk to me about our relationship?" I asked him.

"You always know what to say out that smart mouth of yours, I'm pretty sure you'll have something." He joked. I rolled my eyes.

"I promise, we're just going out to eat, and then to the mall." Odell said standing next to the car. "We'll be back by, 4:30."

I nodded my head, and he kissed me on my forehead. I turned and looked back at Odell's mother staring out the window of the house.

She whispered something in   Karavah's ear. He nodded his head and he walked out the house.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine."

Odell kissed me one last time before getting in the car.

I walked down the steps, into the kitchen. All eyes were on me. "Jasmine, Mom, give me and Leilani some space to talk." They both got up and left the kitchen.

"Yes?" I questioned.

"What do you see in my son?" She asked me. "I mean, he's sweet and kind and-"

"Do you think this is a joke?" She cut me off. "Joke?"

"I know what girls like you want. I was your age before."

"And I didn't say you wasn't." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"You only want Odell for sex. You probably don't even love him. Do you?"

"Of course I love him. He helped me when nobody else did." I told her.

"And what did he help you with?" He questioned me. It was none of her business so I didn't tell her.

"That's what I thought. He didn't help you with shit. Your the reason why he don't want to come back to Louisiana."

I had enough of this.

"I'm not arguing." I said as I walked towards the door.

I opened the door and turned around. "Why can't you just be happy for him? Why can't you just accept the fact that your the reason he don't talk to you now? Just face the things to did to him. I'm done talking to you." I walked out the door and slammed it.
