- Shanel's Pov
Telling Juan my story wasn't that bad , but talking about such a painful part of my life is what made it hurt. Deep down inside i have feelings , but its hard to feel anymore. In a way im numb , but Juan changes me. He makes me realize there's other people in the world that's been through things as well. As if I'm not the only one dealing with demons.
"I don't even know what ima do now" I told Juan.
"Whatchu mean ?" he asked putting on his timbs.
"I don't know if ima be on these streets or what , i gotta figure out my role again. I haven't did no work for Gino since i been home" i told him.
'How bout we do this together again ? I mean aint no safer place then being by yo boo" he told me. I laughed
"Baby you know i can handle mines" I told him stepping closer to him smiling. He wrapped his arms around me , and brought me closer to his chest.
"How bout we do this shit together , again ? You be my bonnie i be yo clyde" he told me. I smiled and inside i was giddy.
"Sounds like a plan" I told him.
Juan returned my smile , and once again warmed my heart again. This feels perfect right now , but ain't nothing perfect. Trust ! I'm prepared for the worst to happen , either way i will have love for Juan.
"Hey babygirl" Gino embraced me as me & Juan stepped into his office hand in hand.
I hugged him to , those same hugs he comforted me with when i came to him in tears.
"You done grew up on me babygirl , got you a little boyfriend" he said looking at Juan. I blushed .. yeah blushed. What the hell is wrong with me !
"Yes Daddy" I told him a little embarced.
"You know what this means right ?" he said
"What ?" I asked.
"I gotta tell Juan here the rules of dating my little baby" he said.
I shifted to were i was only on my right foot. This was embaricing , very embarrassing!
"Don't worry baby ., I'll go easy on him" Gino told me. I looked over at Juan , my baby had his poker face on. I smiled at that.
" Number 1 : you hurt her , i hurt you BAD. Number two : No disrespect towards her AT ALL Number three ; Own up to your responsibilities .. therefore if you do sum stupid shit that's on YOU. Number four : Take care of her ! & love her the way you'd want a nigga to love yo babygirl understand?" Gino told Juan.
"With much respect .. I definetly know how to treat Shanel. I wont hurt her , if anything i can see her shooting my ass before i even get that close. But foreal i care for Shanel & don't want to see her hurt any longer " Juan told Gino.
I was blushing .. Again. I looked to Gino and he had this smile on his face
"Ain't that just cute" Gino said. i laughed and went to go visit my brother's room. Why he still lived here i couldn't quite understand who was i to judge ?
"Sup bubba?" I said flopping onto his bed.
"Sup bad ass" he smiled. I laughed and pushed his head just a little.
"You gone stop putting yo hands on a nigga" he told me joking.
"Or what?" I asked.
"Or you gone learn today" he said. At that i tackled him ,
"You gone learn today !" i told him.
He flipped me over , about to pin me down until i kicked him off the bed. I hopped off his bed and started punching him. He was hitting back , fast and hard. But James & Gino taught me how to fight , this was a normal pain. Before I kne it James had me in a headlock. I hated that "What was that Lil sis?" he asked me. I attempted to punch his manhood , but he quickly moved back. Realizing my move way before i did.
"Come on now sis you giving up ?" he asked me. I was getting frustrated and then made him slip and pinned him down
"Ima G , i never give up bro" I said getting up.
"Good job , but you know damn well i let you win" he told me.
"Whatever" I replied.
"You know uncle Shawn coming into town right ?' he told me.
"Uhh no , i barely remember him. it's been how long " i told him.
"Well all i know is we having a big dinner next week and you better be there" he said. I stood up headed for the door
"And bring yo big headed ass boyfriend to" he said.
"Leave my baby alone " I told him before leaving.
I wasn't really feeling this family meeting or whatever but of course I'd go , out fo respect for Kandy & Gino...
#What Ya'll think gonna happen at the meeting ?
