PIC OF CARMEN (FELICIA'S MOTHER)^^^^^^

Keri's POV

I made it home by noon and I still haven't heard from Terrence. I was getting worried that he really was upset with me, so many thoughts were going through my mind and I couldn't sort them out. I kept checking my iPod for any messages and I got nothing. So I went upstairs thinking maybe I should take a shower and try and call him when I get out. 

Just as I was about to hop in the water I hear the vibration of my iPod on the desk. I walk over to pick up my iPod to see that he had sent me a message.

Terrence: Sorry my phn was dead. Im not mad.

Just as I was about to reply another message came through.

Terrence: Ill be over to take you to work. Be ready!

I stared at my iPod for what seemed like forever before I realized I had the water running. I put my iPod down without even looking at the time and I jumped in the shower. 20mins later Im drying off and I hear a knock on the bathroom door.  "Felicia what are you doing? It's 1:45 and you know the highway is crazy right now. You'll never make it on time, I told you to be ready" He said as if he's the one whose gonna be late for work

."I didnt know what time it was T. I wasnt thinking about that when you sent your message." I said with attitude. He's probably wondering why the attitude all of a sudden, but I was so frustrated at him. It's hard to stay mad at him with a face like that. I love looking at him, his eyes are so warming and I feel like they take me into his soul. I get tingles when he touches me. I feel safe when he hugs me. Just thinking about him made me feel some type a way. 

"Felicia are you going to work or what? You know I got stuff to do after I drop you off" He said from the other side of the door.  His voice brought me back to earth and I was surprised I was even feeling this way about him. Ive never really thought about how I felt about him. Wow I really have to think about what Im feeling. This isnt right.

"Im coming Terrence damn Im drying off and I gotta put my scrubs on, Ill be out in a min" I said while I was struggling to put my pants on my semi-wet body. After getting dressed I looked at my hair in the mirror and because I didnt use conditioner it was frizzy and afro-like but I didnt have time to fix it I was gonna be late. I open the bathroom door to see Terrence sitting on my bed reading one of my psychology books. 

"Tryin to learn something over there T?" I said while grabbing my things and heading for the door.  He gets up and says " Someone needs to put them books to use because you sure aint" He laughs all the way down the stairs as if his joke was really funny. Just as we were about to walk out the front door, my mother opens it and looks at us as if she was caught in the act of something bad. 

She instantly straightens up and says " What are you two doing here right now? Shouldn't you be at work miss thing? And YOU  (pointing to Terrence) what are YOU doing here?" 

We both look at each other like what's her problem, but before I can say anything in response Terrence speaks first. "Were here because were here, How come your here? Arnt YOU supposed to be at work Mrs. Thaaanngg?" He said while giving her a fake smile. I put my hand over my mouth to hide the laugh that wanted to escape my lips. My mother on the other hand didnt look so happy, i really thought she was gonna cuss Terrence out. But she didnt, she just turned and walked out the door. I look at Terrence with a surprised expression and he had the same expression on his face. Mother never backs down when someone speaks to her with disrespect. I then wondered what was she doing home anyway, and why did she leave without even coming in to do whatever it was she was home early for. He interrupts my thoughts when he grabs my wrist an says "Lets go woman ya gonna be late" 

He was right, the highway was horrible. There were cars everywhere, no place to get over or ahead.. nothing! I look over at him and he seems to be in deep thought about something, before I get a chance to ask what he was thinking about he speaks

"So if you dont mind me asking, who was that guy you where with at McDonald's?"  I turn in my seat so that I am looking at him and I tell him the story of how I met Carter and why he was at McDonald's with me. He was looking straight at the road and his hands where so tight on the wheel I thought he was gonna break it off. 

"Cuzn you aight?" I said as I reached over an put my hand over his on the wheel. He looked at me and whatever was there a min ago was gone and replaced with sadness. 

"Dont call me that, I hate when you call me your cousin, and yea Im aight. Do you like him tho?" He said suddenly. It was news to me that he didn't like me referring to him being my cousin. And I havent even thought about Carter since this morning, I had been so worried about other shit I forgot. I hadnt really thought if I like Carter or not. He is sexy and has a nice car, obviously a good job, but in all honesty I didnt really care about any of that.

"I guess thats a yes" He says as he pulls into my job parking lot. I look up at him and realize I had been so caught up in my thoughts that I didnt answer his question. Instead I asked one that was bothering me. "Why dont you want me to call you cousin?" I said as I take my seat belt off preparing to exit the car and head into work. 

"Nothing, nevermind. Message me when you get off and Ill come pick you up" He said without even looking at me. I swear he's so hot and cold lately that I dont even know how to react around him anymore.

"Can I have a hug before I go?" I ask nervously 

He reaches over and hugs me tight and lets go abruptly. I give him a half smile and get out I back up and step onto the curb and watch him pull away making skid marks in the parking lot.
