Getting Grace

Chapter Fourteen

A week had passed and Jerome's not the best boyfriend in Grace's eyes. His time towards her want from little to almost none. For him to be talking about getting some, had not doing a good job. Saint can shoot himself a gun now and Camellia is back with her mom. So is Jerome.

Jerome smiled at Camellia and then at Regina. She was the reason Jerome spent less time with Grace. She had began to grow back on him and clouding Jerome's mind.

"Come on get in the picture." Regina said holding her phone out. Jerome came up behind her and kissed her cheek and then her neck as she laughed and got it all on camera.

"Happy?" Jerome asked.

"Where should we go or what should we do for Camellia's first birthday?" Regina asked.

"Ya moms is gonna be back by then and she's not gonna want me around." Jerome said. "So I don't know."

"Awe." Jerome's phone started ringing and he straight up ignored Grace's call. He got a text right after that, but ignored that also. "Who's calling you?"

"Some number not saved in my phone. I don't answer those." He said.

"Ok." She said standing up.

"Well, I'm out. I'll call you later tonight." Jerome said kissing her. They made out for a minute before he pulled away.

"What are you doing?!" Regina's mother yelled. "Get out of my house, before I call the cops. You're violating your restraining order."

Jerome sighed and turned around. "I thought you said she wouldn't be back for another week?"

"I thought so, too."

"Well, I'm here. So leave." She said holding her phone up. "I swear I'll do it and I'll turn you in while I'm at it.

Jerome growled balling his hands up. He had no choice, but to leave. What else was he gonna do. He stared her mom down as he walked out and got in his car. Jerome checked his phone and saw the what Grace texted him. He shook his head and drove over to her house. He knocked on the door.

Grace's dad answered. "Hello?"

"Um hello sir, um I'm here to see Grace." Jerome said. "I don't have to come in. If she could come here that would be cool, too."

"Mhm." Gary said. "What's your name?"

"Jerome." He said scratching his head.

Gary closed the door and left Jerome standing outside. Jerome waited for about a minute before Grace opened the door and came out.

"Who you getting all beautiful for?" He asked angrily.

"Nobody. I have somewhere to be." She said. "Why do you care anyways?"

"Because you're my girl and I can't have you walking around flaunting in front of some other niggas." He said.

"I broke up with you. You got my text." Grace said. "And we were never officially dating."

"Why you wanna break up?" Jerome asked. "I haven't done a damn thing wrong. I haven't cheated. I'm not seeing other women. It's really me and you."

He watched as Grace bit his story. "I just feel like you don't care and I'm making a mistake." She whined.

Jerome pulled her in for a hug and kissed her head. "If anybody makes a mistake in this relationship. It'll be me and I'll try to keep those to a minimum."

"I don't know." Grace said. Jerome kissed her and Grace closed her eyes. "Fine."

"Yeah you fine." He said. "Tell me what I gotta do to keep you this time."
