As I'm walking down south beach, cold and wet, I look at all the cute couples enjoying their night, and all I can think is what the hell is wrong with me? I just pushed away one of the sweetest and realest guys here in miami, Craig has never done anything to hurt me so why am I trippin?
After 10 minutes of walking Craig pulls up next to me in his all black Audi A5. I must admit his ride is sick. He parks on the curb and gets out, slamming the door behind him.
"What the hell was that back there!?" I have no idea what to say to him so I just look away.
"When are you gunna understand that not everyone out here is trying to hurt you? Your always taking care of someone else, let someone take care of you for once." Craig says with the sternest look on his face. I can tell he's mad and worried about me. And he's right, since I can remember I have been taking care of someone; From my mom to my siblings to my friends.
Tears start to stream down my face, but I turn around and wipe them. Craig grabs me and hugs me. After a few minutes Craig leads me to his car. We start to drive back so I decide to check my phone. I turn my phone back on and 7 new voicemails and 8 text messages pop up. All from Roc. I am so frustrated and Craig notices, he grabs my hand and kisses it. I clear all my voicemails and all my text messages without reading or listening to them.
20 minutes later we get to Craig's house. And as soon as I enter I am greeted by hugs and kisses from his family.
"Well hello suga" Craigs momma says. Craigs mom is a pretty full figured woman. She is sweet but you don't ever wanna rub her the wrong way. Nychelle learned that the hard way.
"Hey momma Johnson" I say giving her a hug.
"I haven't seen you in a long time. Where have you been?"
"Home, school, you know, the basics."
She looks at me with a concerned look. "Have you been crying?"
"Umm.. I.." I say avoiding her gaze.
Craig jumps in to save me "Momma she's tired she just needs to sleep."
"Alright fine. I know when I'm not welcomed in someone's business. Good night sweetie." Momma Johnson says while giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Momma Johnson walks to her room but right before she closes the door, she looks at me and says "And remember I'm too young to be a grandma so no freaky business"
"Momma, go to bed" Craig says blushing with embarrassment.
"Fine" Momma Johnson says as she closes her door.
"You gotta love her" I say while laughing.
"Yea I guess" Craig says while flashing his warm smile and scratching his head.
"I'm getting tired" I say while yawning.
"Oh let me go set up the room"
"Sure, I'll be here waiting"
Five minutes later Craig comes back. "Alright the bed is all ready for yah."
"Thanks" I say heading to his room.
As I walk in I notice he got rid of the two twin beds that were in there and replaced it with a full size bed.
"So I see you got rid if the twin beds" I say plopping down on the bed.
"Well I'm a growing ass boy, I can't sleep on a twin bed forever"
"So who's sleeping where?"
"You sleep on the bed, I'll hit the floor"
