Can I Show This Thug Love?

A Day To Remember.

Rolland's POV

I was sitting on the couch, watching T.V. and waiting on Ms.Eva. Today she's going to take me to find a job, I don't want one; but for my future plans I'll need one.

She came down the stairs and I stood up and watched her grab her car keys.

"Is he still sleep?" I said with a half worried look on my face.

"Yeah. I don't know why you won't tell him, he won't be mad." She said glaring at me.

I know Lucky is her son and all, but that's a lie. If I tell him that I plan on moving out soon, that would tear him apart. So for now, I'm keeping it between me and Eva.

"Maybe later." I said sighing and we both left and got into her car.

We were first going to the mall. I refuse to work at a fast food place.

"What store do you want to work at?"

"No where, honestly." I whispered it to myself.

Ms.Eva looked at me and smiled. "You don't have to leave. I don't want you to."

I looked out the window and just thought for a moment.

"I feel like I need to. At this time, my life isn't moving forward, I'm stuck in the same place. Your son and I aren't together, we don't have much trust between one another. So, what am I suppose to do?"

"That's how you feel?" She didn't say it with hurt but more of a caring tone.

"I feel in love with someone I can't love. I feel like I can't give Lucky what he wants or needs; and in all honesty.. I don't even know what he wants. I feel like I have no one, I don't have family, friends and I don't have a man." I sunk deeper into my seat and pushed my hair behind my ears.

"You have me. I will treat you no different, just because you and Luck aren't together. You're my future daughter in law and I know it."

To hear her say that made me happy and sad. Happy because she believes that Lucky and I will make it that far in a relationship. Sad because, I don't know if we'll actually make it that far.

Lucky's POV

I woke up this morning alone. I yelled my mother's and Rolland's name but got no response.

"Where the fuck they go?" I stood up slowly and limped my way into the bathroom.

I handled my hygiene issue and came back out with my towel wrapped around my waist. I grabbed my phone and called my mom.

"Hello?"

"Where you at?"

"I ain't your woman, you don't need to know."

"Ma, where is Rolland?"

I heard some shuffling and a sigh.

"Hello?" There's that sweet voice I love to hear, only she didn't sound happy.

"What's up?"

"Mm, nothing. You?"

"Irritated. You know I woke up alone right?"

She didn't say anything. It was silent for a while.

"Rol-

"I'm leaving." I heard he say it quickly.

"You're what?" I said half confused.

"I'm looking for a job today, so I can hopefully start by next week. I want to save up more money for a place."
