Eli and I enter Applebees' and walk over to where Karen and her parents are sitting down. I decided to go because my bro needs me, and if end up in that situation, I expect him to be there also.
"Hi." Eli says from behind. Karen gets up, kisses him, and greets me with a hug. Her parents just sits there. Nice way to make someone feel welcomed. "This is my friend Damien. Damien, these are Karen's parents I have been telling you about." We sit down.
"Good things, I'm hoping." Her mom takes her eyes off the menu to look at Eli.
"Not at all." Eli says through gritted teeth.
Karen's parents seem like the type of parents who wants their daughter to date a Lawyer because that's "an actual career." They also think that football players, like Eli and I, are pimps. They assume that we're all about groupies and sh*t. Which isn't true at all. Not all athletes are about that. Some are committed to their relationship, like Eli.
Am I surprised? Damn right. Eli was just like me. F*cking girls after girls with a good amount of protection. It's like when Eli met Karen, he completely changed and I thought she did voodoo on him. No joke.
The waitress walks over to our booth and serves us our food. Damn she's sexy and I would've talked to her,or take her to my car, but her parents are around. I have some respect. The table is quiet for a second, 'till Karen's mom broke it. "You know Karen, a doctor or lawyer would've took us to a fancier restaurant."
Eli looks from Karen to her mom. Seems like Karen doesn't stand up to her parents. "Well, Karen wanted to come here. You didn't have to come along because that hotel you're staying in has a small restaurant for you guys." Eli says.
I laugh in the middle of drinking my drink.
"Where's your respect?" The dad interjects. "Don't talk to my wife like that."
Eli just nods. This has to be an interesting "family" gathering.
"Just because Eli isn't a doctor or a lawyer, doesn't mean that he doesn't love your daughter." I add.
"And you are?" Her mom says with an attitude. Damn, if I was a girl and her age, I would've slapped that slick mouth of hers off her face.
"Didn't you hear Eli earlier? I'm Damien. Damien Carter."
"Everything that comes out of his mouth is gibberish." She dabs her mouth. " And if he loved her, she wouldn't have told me about him and his player ways." Now, this went too far. From the corner of my eyes I can see Eli looking at Karen. "She wouldn't call me or come to visit me crying about him and his groupies."
"Well, you're wrong..." Eli stops me and faces Karen again.
"This is what you have been telling your parents? This is why they hate my guts?"
