MJ’s POV.
“Dinner’s ready!” my mom called from the kitchen, I got up with Slade and walked to the dining room where my mom was setting out plates and big bowls of food, along with the beers already on the table from the ‘men’ talking.
At first I was nervous, about what it was about, but dad hadn’t come across the table yet so it must not be that important. In fact Dominic was actually talking to Tyse lowly with a small smile on his face.
Haha Score! One down two to go. And I thought Dominic would be harder than dad. I sat next to Tyse who wasted no time in wrapping his arm around me and kissing my cheek while my mom pretended not to listen while filling up cups with mountain dew while she was practically beaming down at them. We filled our plates with spaghetti listening to my mom go on about something, I wasn’t really paying attention.
By the middle of dinner Tyse had put his hand under the table slipping it in my own, rubbing small circles over my thumb.
I ate and talked with Slade about his new video game, Tyse talked to Dominic, they were talking about some basketball game. I looked over at my dad and was shocked. He was watching Tyse with a glint of something I recognized in his eyes.
Respect.
My mom made plans with Tyse to have dinner with his parents tomorrow, he eagerly agreed. I rolled my eyes. Alice and my mother in the same room might be a huge problem. Like they will go overboard planning some expensive wedding, and naming all our children.
When dinner was finished they all piled around the TV watching some basketball game, p resume the once they were talking about earlier. I went to help Slade with his bath. He didn’t really need help since he was 6, but he hated being alone.
So I just sat there and talked with him while he splashed around in the water giggling and writing on the walls with bathtub crayons.
I got him in bed and covered him up with his ninja turtle’s covers, which he was in love with, even though they used to be mine. I gave them to him the middle of my sophomore year; yes I had ninja turtles covers when I was 16 no judging.
I got up and turned around finding Tyse leaning in the door way, I slowly walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him, he reached over and turned the light off pulling me into the hallway and hugging me back slipping his hands under my shirt and resting them on the small of my back.
“I love you” he murmured.
“I love you too” I replied.
“PDA” I heard Miguel’s voice say, I rolled my eyes pulling away and sticking my tongue out at him as I went across the hallway way to my room. I hadn’t been in my room in a long time, Tyse walked in behind me.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Miguel demanded glaring at Tyse.
“You’re not sleeping with her” he sputtered out looking furious, I rolled my eyes, Tyse looked thoroughly amused.
“Mom said he could” I told him.
“Well I say no” he told me.
“You don’t make the rules” I told him, I really needed a good old fashion brother sister argument.
“but I do” I heard my dad’s voice say, I looked at my dad, he jerked his head telling Miguel to get out, I smirked at him and he shot me a murderous glare.
“Door stays open” my dad said continuing down the hallway, I sighed in annoyance and rolled my eyes.
“I knew there was a catch” I muttered, Tyse grinned at me pecking my lips and pulling me into him, he kissed me again. He stiffened and there was the clearing of a throat.
