The Life of Asia Kai Long

Goodnights and Goodbyes

I was on the phone talking to my phone, well mostly getting yelled at in Vietnamese. She was chewing me out and telling me how selfish I am for putting Daniel before her. But she doesn't get it, I am in love with this man. I think about him every second of the day, there's not a moment that passes when he's not on my mind. "Tôi xin lỗi mẹ nhưng tôi phải ở lại đây để hỗ trợ Daniel.." (I'm sorry Mom but I have to stay here to support Daniel..) I said.

"Tại sao bạn đưa cậu bé này trước khi gia đình của bạn, đây không phải là cách tôi nuôi dạy con!" (Why are you putting this boy before your family, this is not how I raised you!)

"Mẹ ơi, xin vui lòng. Bạn luôn luôn nói với tôi để làm theo trái tim của tôi, cũng đó là những gì tôi đang làm. Tôi xin lỗi." (Mommy, please. You always told me to follow my heart, well that's what I'm doing. I'm sorry.) I felt a hot tear escape my eye and trickle down my cheek.

"Dừng lại! Đừng nói với tôi xin lỗi, nói với gia đình của bạn! Em gái của bạn nhớ bạn như điên và cha của bạn đã được lo lắng bệnh về bạn! Trong số tất cả các shit ngu ngốc bạn đã làm Châu Á tôi đã thể hiện lòng thương xót bạn, nhưng điều này chỉ là không thể tha thứ." (Stop it! Do not tell me sorry, tell your family that! Your sister misses you like crazy and your father has been worried sick about you! Out of all the stupid shit you've done Asia I've shown you mercy, but this is just unforgivable. )

"Tôi nhớ tất cả các bạn quá, nhưng tôi hứa tôi sẽ trở lại sớm. Ngay bây giờ trái tim tôi chỉ là nói cho tôi ở lại đây với anh ta, Mẹ xin vui lòng chỉ nghe tôi ra!" (I miss all you guys too but I promise I'll come back soon. Right now my heart is just telling me to stay here with him, Mom please just hear me out!)

"Bạn đang không ở trong tình yêu với người đàn ông này, châu Á! Bạn chỉ mù quáng bởi những gì ông đã cung cấp, bạn và anh ấy cả hai có thể ghi trong địa ngục. Tôi đang thực hiện với sự điên rồ của bạn và tôi đang ngồi shit của bạn trên lề đường không bận tâm về nhà!" (You are not in love with this man, Asia! You're just blinded by what he has to offer, you and him both can burn in hell. I'm done with your foolishness and I'm sitting your shit on the curb don't bother coming home!)

"Mẹ lời cầu xin-" (Mom plea-)

I sat the phone down as the line went dead. She hung up in my face, I can't believe she said that to me. Everything I've done in my life has been for her. The good grades, taking AP & college courses and getting a job at 14! I have been nothing but a good daughter but God forbid I turn 18 and try to live for myself for once! The tears wouldn't stop from pouring down. I need to get myself together, Daniel will be here any moment.

I dried my face and went to the bathroom to fix my makeup before returning to the Kitchen seasoning the chicken. I was doing this before my mom called me and spazzed out. I understand she misses me and stuff but she could have at least approached the situation differently. But instead she made it seem as if I was a gold digger, which I am not and she should already know this.

Once I finished cooking it was 9:56 pm. Daniel said he'd be here around 8, I guess he got caught up in a interview again...I hate when this happens. He asked could I have something cooked when he came home. I could have just went to that fake ass Chinese restaurant down the street and ordered something to go. But instead I cooked a hot ass meal and I feel as if it's going to waste. Well not completely because I've already finished my plate. I made Vietnamese Golden Chicken Wings, they're my favorite.

I watched the time took away and so did my patience. I decided to call him.

Ring...

Ring....

Ring.....

You have reach the voicemail o-

Great, he didn't answer. How lovely. I covered up his plate and put it in the microwave. I guess I'll try to wait up for him. I went and laid down on the couch turning the TV to Girl Code. The last thing I remember is them talking about thongs when I drifted off.

Diggy's POV

Me and the guys were pulling up to my house. Spin, Diggy, Khalil, Justin and I had went bowling after my interview. I haven't had that much fun in a while, I miss hanging with my niggas.

"Sssh be quiet." I whispered as I unlocked the door.

When we entered I spotted her laying on the couch fast asleep, she was snoring lightly.

"Damn." Khalil said with his eyes glued to her ass. I shoved him, but I couldn't lie her ass did look amazing in those shorts

"Sooooo, does this mean turn down or?" Justin asked taking off his shades.

"I don't know.."

"Aye, what's this?" I looked in the direction the voice was coming from and spotted Spin holding up a green plate wrapped in foil. I just shrugged my shoulders. "Guess it's mine then." He said unwrapping it like he hasn't ate in days.

I walked over to the couch kneeling down and kissing her nose. She wiggle a bit. She's so adorable when she's sleeping. Good God, I missed her gorgeous face.

"Let's play pool, I'm bored."

"Y'all can go ahead, I'm go tuck her in then I'll be down."

"Cool."

They all left to my entertainment room and I carried her body to our bedroom. Tucking her in and turning out the lights so she could sleep in peace. "I love you baby girl." I said before shutting the bedroom door behind me and joining the guys.

I rolled over, fondling the bed searching for Asia small body. The bed was empty, that's weird. I sat up yawning, stretching before finally getting my lazy ass out of bed. I looked all over the house and couldn't find her anywhere. I leaned against the kitchen counter thinking, where could she be? Just as I was about to dial her number she entered the house balancing keys and three sacks in her hand.
