From Broken Hearted To A New Beginning

Chapter 10

Trey

I sat on the couch next to Angela constantly looking back and forth from the movie to her beautiful face. "Aye Ang."I said taking her attention off the TV. (A/N..."Ang" is pronounced Angela without the "ela" just to let y'all know(:) "Yeah?" she replied back. " "Are we like...you know.." I asked kind of shy. "Um...I honestly don't know. I mean we could be but I kind of feel like we shouldn't be. You know what I mean?" Just hearing her say the words "shouldn't be" broke my heart but I tried not to show it. "Yeah I know what you mean.." I said looking back at the TV. Angela turned my head to where I could see her face and kissed me. "Trey I love you ok? I'll probably always love you but right now I don't want to be with you...how 'bout we just start over ok? With us just being friends-best friends." I didn't know what to say. I wanted to say no I want to be your boyfriend not best friend but I didn't want to fuck up anything; plus I did understand where she was coming from I just didn't want to accept it. "Ok, deal" I replied to her smiling. Even though I still want Angela to be my girlfriend I'm completely fine with having her as my best friend-at least I have her back in my life.

It was bout 12:30am when I heard what sounded like keys at the front door. While half woken up, I realized that Angela and I had fallen asleep on the couch while watching the movie. I looked at the clock again and figured that the key sound was her mom coming home from work so I just stayed on the couch with my arm around Angela and her laying on my chest. Finally I heard the door swing open and the lights turn on. I pretended like I was still sleep and listened to her mother speak to herself. "What the hell?" she started off. I can tell she was surprised to see me and Angela together. She turned the lights back off and walked away, I guess to her room, when I heard her whisper "I knew it." What did she mean by that? I let it go and let myself go back to sleep. It was too late to go back home and its not like my parents didn't know where I was so I decided to stay the rest of the night.

"Wake up sleepy head!" I heard a voice say. Rubbing my eyes I let out a yawn not knowing where I was until I looked up and seen Angela standing over me and her mother in the kitchen cooking breakfast. "Well good morning to you too." I said sitting up on the couch. Angela was already dressed which meant she had been up for a while before she woke me up. "I thought you'd never wake up" she said sitting next to me turning on the TV. "Its only..." I said not knowing what time it was. I looked at the clock then finished my sentence. "Its only 10:09. Not everybody wake up at 6:00 like you." I said laughing a little. She laughed back and said "I don't wake up at 6:00. I woke up at 8:30 thank you very much." "Breakfast's ready you two!" Ms. August yelled from the kitchen. Angela and I raced each other to the kitchen like two big kids and of course I won. "Haha, that's not fair. You had a head-start" she said. "I did not." I laughed back while getting a plate and filling it with two biscuits, eggs, grits, and 3 strips of bacon. Angela looked at me like I was crazy. "What? Like you never seen a skinny person eat big before. Just look at yourself." I said in reply to her look. She opened her mouth to say something but just started laughing instead and then continued to fill her plate up with just as much food as I had.

After breakfast I decided to go back home to shower, change clothes, and all that other stuff. I placed a kiss on Angela's cheek before I left and told her I'll text her later. It took me about 10 minutes to walk home and when I got there I seen that both of my parent's cars were home...that's unusual. I walked in to both of them staring at me. "What? Y'all acting like I been out all night and came home drunk. I left y'all a note." My parents looked at me then started to laugh. "Uhh...y'all weird. I'm gonna go take a shower." I started to walk to my room when my dad called my name. "So Trey." He started. "Yes sir?" "How was your night with your girlfriend?" He said smiling. Did he just say girlfriend? "Me and Angela aren't dating. We're just friends..." I kind of got quiet after saying that last sentence and I could tell my parents knew I was a little upset. "It's ok sweetie, I know you want to be more than friends with her but just give her time...she'll come around. I promise." My mom said while placing her hand on my shoulder. My dad just nodded his head meaning that he agreed with my mother. I would love to know how my mom was so sure that Angela would change her mind in the future,but when it comes down to things like that, I don't even try to ask.

As soon as I got done getting dressed my phone started ringing playing "My Hitta". I answered it after the third ring since I already knew who it was. "Wassup bro." I spoke into the receiver. "Wassup with you man? You went MIA on me last night. You were supposed to call and tell me how things went with you and Angela." James said back. I started laughing a little then told him what happened. "Good shit man." He said when I was done. "Yeah, but I'll hit you up later ight?" I told him. "Ight, bye" "Bye" I hung up the phone and texted Angela. "I know we spent all last night together but do you want to spend the day together too? You know, like catch up." I waited for her to reply and in less than 3 minutes she texted back "Sure"
