But, Sometimes I Wonder

Chapter 5 - Case Of The Ex

"Sam get your ass out of the car," I said as my friend preceded to fake hyperventilate with his ass glued to the passenger seat.

"Baby come on, the sooner with go in the sooner it'll be over." Thomas encouraged

"Give me a segundo ustedes damn." He responded pouting in the process.

"We were but you're taking longer than I did at the park. Come on friend, I know your family sucks but it's okay me and Tom will be here every step of the way." I smile at Sam, he smiled back and pulled himself together.

We finally made our way into the fancy restaurant.

"Okay brunch is on y'all, right? Because I don't have the funds to play keeping up with the Jones's with your family." I asked now that I don't have Marcus's money to spend I avoid places like this.

"Yes, brokey we got it," Sam said I cut my eyes at him then discreetly hit him in the t0rso. 

"Bitch" he choked out

As soon as we stepped in the restaurant I could hear his mother's obnoxious laughter.

"Sammy it's about time, get over here." We all hung our heads in shame and walked to the table which was on the other side of the restaurant hence the embarrassment.

"Ah, Kiersey it's been so long come gimme a hug." I went across the table to greet Sam's mom Alissa. She's right that it's been a long time since we've seen each other. I made sure of it,

Growing up Sam's mom had always been like a second mother for me, then I turned fifteen and her eldest son Tadeo no longer looked like a prepubescent teen boy to me. He looked like a full-grown man, and I wanted all the smoke. He became my first boyfriend, my first love, my first sexual partner. It was amazing there were explosions, till he broke my heart so bad it completely opened. I found myself in my first heartbreak, then lost me in my second one, I guess when I lost my dad that part of me I found left with him.

But, after Tadeo and I ended, his mom wasn't pleased considering I was already like a daughter to her, she wanted me and him to last. But we were young and unforgivable mistakes had been made.

I know you think I probably hate Tadeo and believe me if you knew half of the things he did it'd be justifiable to. But, I've always wished him well and kept a safe distance.

"How have you been my beautiful one and only daughter?"

"I've been good Mrs. Flores, how are you?"

"I'm okay sweetie, just waiting on my big head son to have some manners and come hug his madre." Sam and Thomas came over, she hugged Sam and just shook Thomas's hand.

"Okay everyone have a seat, believe it or not, you guys aren't the last ones. We're still waiting on your brother. Dios mio, what am I going to do with you two?"

"Sam, what is your mother talking about? You said your brother wasn't coming." I whispered to the sneaky weasel beside me.

"I assumed he wasn't because he hasn't been coming for years."

"An assumption isn't a grantee Sam damnit." I have been avoiding this man for seven years. Only for it to come to a halt because I just had to be there for Sam. Only for him to not be more considerate of my feelings when it comes to seeing Tadeo. "I'm going to Uber home, I can't stay."

"What? Kier, what are you saying right now? You promised me."

"Sam I-"

"Hi everyone I'm sorry I'm late, there was an accident on 95." Fuck!! I was so rudely interrupted by the person I was trying to avoid seeing. Disconnecting eyes with Sam I looked up to see Tadeo had somehow managed to look even better than when we were teens.
