Ria's POV
Its three days later and I stop receiving messages from my mother. My father on the other hand wants me home. I sigh as I count down the final minutes of class, desperately waiting for the bell to ring. Honestly it feels like hours but the bell finally rings, making everyone jump out there seats to run to the exit. I stay where I am waiting for traffic to clear then I take my turn to leave. I go to my locker and see Liz and Adain waiting for me. Liz looks like she's flirting and I roll my eyes.
You can see she's trying hard to get his attention by waving her hand in his face, but he cuts her off scanning the crowd. I laugh at his bluntness. He stops scanning once he found what he was looking for. Me. I don't know why but my heart starts beating out of my chest and I put my hand over my chest to see if I was okay. I take a deep breath, shake my head and walk behind Liz, scaring the shit out of her.
She slaps my arm and says, "God, stop doing that, one day I'm going to make your heart jump out of your chest." She says. "Wanna go to the park today?" She asks and I was going to say yes but my phone starts ringing and I answer it without seeing who the caller was because I thought it was Mrs. Mitchell but I thought wrong. A dark, deep voice answers.
"Come home now." My father demands and before I could do anything he hangs up. I throw my phone into my purse and sigh.
"Can't." I say in one word and collect my things. See I would've said yes even after the phone call, but I promised Mrs. Mitchell that if he ask (demand) me to come home one more time then I should see what he wants. I share my farewells with Liz and walk out. Adain catches up with me.
"Why don't you want to go to the park?" He asks knowing somethings up. I stop and face him.
"My father called and he wants me to come home, I have to sort things out with him." He looks defeated knowing he can't stop me because he witnessed me making the promise to Mrs. Mitchell. Before I walk off Adain grabs my wrist.
"Be careful ok." He tells me and kisses my hand and walks off to his car. I stand in awe, my cheeks heating up. Then I snap back into reality, walking home to talk things out with my father.
I reach home and open the door walking in, taking up my surrodings. My father is no where in sight. I walk up to his office knowing he'll be waiting for me in there. I was right. He hears my foot steps and looks up. Its grey on grey. I clear my throat and he does too.
"Take a seat."
"That's alright, I'm not a client." I say bluntly and he gives me a stone cold stare, and I sit down.
"Is your mother contacting you by any chance?" He ask and I sigh thinking about her hate mail.
"Yes but it nothing important, just her calling me a bitch." I roll my eyes at my mothers childness. The last message I sent her was telling her to back the fuck of because I didn't say shit to my father.
"You knew." He states and I forget how to breathe for a minute. I chose my next words wisely because my well being depends on it.
"I was going to tell you, I just had to register everything myself before I did." I say because I was partly telling the truth. I was still processing the information of my mothers cheating, but I wasn't going to tell him.
"Bullshit." He says clearly pissed. I'm honestly lost for words. What am I suppose to say, sorry? That's not how my father works. Its just better to stay quiet because if you say one wrong thing, your life's over. "I should send you with your mother." He thinks for a minute. "But I don't want you to become the whore she's turned out to be." I wince at his harsh words. I just can't hate my mother after everything she's gone through.
"Look dad I'm telling the truth, I don't know what you want me to do I'm just as hurt as you are." I say and my dad looks at me, vulnerability flashes his eyes for a quick second but then he turns away.
"You'rejust lucky your mother signed a prenup, if not we'd be in deep shit." He says going back to his normal state and I stare in shock. Does he honestly give zero fucks. No wonder where I get my bluntness from. "But I don't think your mother's done." He says firmly.
"What do you mean?" I question, fearing his next words.
"Your mother wants to get anything she can, and the next thing is you." He says as if its no big deal.
"Why, she freaking hates my guts right now!" I say my, desperation in my voice.
"Ever since you were little, me and your mother have been putting money in a trust fund for you, so if you decide to take over the business, you have extra money to get you going." But he and I both know I don't want the business so I'd put into college or something. I connect two and two together.
"She wants me because she can't get any money from you." I get straight to the point with his little story.
"Exactly, and I'm not going to let that happen." I think he's saying that because he doesn't want to lose me, but I know he wants my mom to suffer.
"Am I dismissed?" I mock his business voice and he nods. His phone rings and he shoos me out.
I'm in my room listening to the playlist Adain made me. It consist of Drake, G-eazy, Nicki Minaj, and other rappers. Some music I don't like because they just talk about fucking girls, and other things in that nature. But others have meaning, and that's hard to find in rappers today.
I get a call from Evangeline.
"Were gonna see a movie tonight, wanna go?"
"Can I bring a friend?" I saying refering back to Liz.
"Sure movie starts at nine, don't be late." She rushes out and hangs up.
I call Liz next.
"LIZ!" I yell into the phone.
"My ears child. What is it?" She snaps.
"Wanna go to the movies with me and some of my friends?"
"Who?"
"Evangeline, Veronica, and Madelena." Usually she'd just say yes.
"Time, because I know I have to pick you up." I huff in annyoance.
"If you don't wanna go you don't have to." I say pissed off.
"Fine."
"Fine!" I say and hang up. Now I don't have a ride. Just great. I ponder about who to call to my rescue. I hesitate over Adain's name. I press the call button. His deep gruffy voice comes to life.
"Hi." He says and I smile. I just can't help but to.
"Um me and my friends are going to see a movie and I was wondering if you wanted to go?" I say trying my best not to stutter.
"Sure, what time?"
"Nine."
"Alright I'll be at your window at 8:30." And I smile because he remebers.
"Thanks." And we end the call.
They are too cute. I'm in love with this chapter. Are you shook that Adain doesn't have a POV? He shall shine next chapter. I always love writing Ria's chapters, but I like writing about Adain's dangerous mood. Hopefully chapter 13 will be updated next week, it depends on Arshawna's school schedule. I won't be doing chapters because I have some big test coming up for the next two weeks so Arshawna will hopefully be taking over for two chapter, and I shall help. XO
