Y/N'S POV
"ERIK KILLMONGER!!"
No response...
"BABY!!"
Still no response..
"N'JADAKA!!"
Erik walked out of the bedroom, and I asked him,"Are you deaf or something?"
Erik let out a groan and said,"No. What did you call me for?"
I crossed my arms, and Erik went to walk back into our bedroom. I ran and jumped on his back, tackling him.
Erik, knowing he never wanted to hurt me, did not even try to get me off of him.
I made Erik look at me and said,"N'Jadaka, son of Prince N'Jobu, you know there is no one I cherish more than you. I understand how much seeing T'Challa reminds you of what King T'Chaka did to your father but this is a chance to get out. To try to communicate with T'Challa or Shuri or anyone from Wakanda."
Erik looked away from me for a few minutes, before he nodded and gently hit my side. I got up and helped him up. Today, Erik and I were to meet T'Challa and Shuri at my father's restaurant.
Once we made it to my father's restaurant, my father greeted Erik and asked me in front of Erik,"He pressure you into anything you don't want to do?"
I shook my head and said,"No. Daddy, Erik's been the best boyfriend I've ever had."
Dad smiled and said,"Good. I would hate to see you crying again, sweetheart. Erik, walk with me. Y/N, go around and make sure everyone is okay, will ya?"
I nodded and Erik gave me two kisses, before I kissed his jaw and headed over to the front two tables. The customers seemed fine, but the waiter seemed pretty annoyed.
I took care of that table instead and sent the waiter to another table. I could understand why the waiter was annoyed, given the younger child possessed no types of manners AT ALL. The way she was talking to William, the waiter, I would be annoyed too.
The parents were not even acknowledging her attitude. They did not even care that she was disrespecting William, while she asked for some bread.
I shook my head and swore if that was my child her butt would have been beat down in front of the whole restaurant. There is no apologies. My mother would have done that to me, if she were on shift right now. She was probably at home sleeping.
I noticed T'Challa and Shuri at the door. I ran to Shuri and hugged her very, very tightly.
She hugged me back and said,"It is nice to see you after all this time, too, Y/N. Is Erik here as well?"
Shuri seemed a little on edge, but I reassured to her,"Yes, but there is nothing to worry about. I promise you no fighting from him. He's getting better. Trying to control his anger."
Shuri nodded and sent me a smile, then I greeted T'Challa.
T'Challa walked with me to the table we would be eating at, while Shuri followed behind us.
T'Challa explained to me,"You know, I appreciate you inviting us here to dinner and making things right, Y/N. I can not blame Erik for his hatred against my father, but I just want to be clear: I can only do so much so Erik and I can be on the same page. This may just take more than one get-together to settle this."
I replied,"I understand, T'Challa. Thank you for coming. I appreciate the long trip you had to make to get here."
T'Challa nodded and Erik walked over to the table with my father. Dad was aware of who T'Challa really was, after T'Challa saved his life a long time ago.
Dad smiled and T'Challa did, too, quickly falling into conversation with one another.
Erik walked over to my side and wrapped an arm around me.
He looked at Shuri and nodded to her.
She nodded back, and he said,"I..um..I'm sorry about what happened back in Wakanda."
Shuri rested her hand on Erik's shoulder saying,"It's all right. You are forgiven. Also, I am sorry about my father did to your own father. No one should lose their father like that."
Erik smiled down at Shuri, and I rubbed his back in comfort. We sat down, before Dad headed back over to check on the other tables.
T'Challa was still standing and he said to Erik,"What happened back on Wakanda..I'm sorry things played out the way they did. I want you to personally hear from me that I was not always aware of what happened to your father and I did not know my father took his life. Zuri told me, and I'm sorry you had to grow up without him because of my father's mistake. I apologize on behalf of him."
Erik surprised me when he said to T'Challa,"You didn't have to apologize. I am the one who should be doing all the apologizing. I did throw you over a waterfall and take over your throne. I'm sorry."
T'Challa chuckled and nodded saying,"Apology accepted, Erik. Thank you for that."
T'Challa shook Erik's hand. I smiled at the two.
Once it was time to eat, I asked Erik,"This wasn't such a bad idea, was it?"
Erik answered,"No, it wasn't. Thank you for forcing me to come."
I nodded and took Erik's hand in a comfort motion, as he tried to talk to T'Challa and Shuri. I smiled and squeezed Erik's hand, just happy that he was trying to make conversation and be better.
