Interracial Love

Chapter 8

For people on phones because the top video wouldn't continue when you scroll down: 

Both Frankie and I walk together to the car. Good thing I brushed my teeth. I have a feeling he is going to be touchy the whole car ride to the party.

"Tiana?" He asks me.

"Yes?" I look over at him. He grabs my hand I look at our hands together. I look back and he says, "After the party we can maybe get a hotel suite and sleep there tonight."

"Okay." I say.

"Are you two planning on having a baby?" Frankie's dad then asks and Frankie looks down.

"You didn't tell Tiana?" His father asks.

"No and I don't want to till I'm ready." He says. I hold his hand tightly. He looks at me and smiles. I place my head on his shoulder. Then I realize what he did to me and I look down.

I didn't realize I dozed off until....

"Tiana wake up we are at the party." I open my eyes to see Frankie. He helps me lift up my body. We exit the car with his family and Vanessa. Vanessa pushes me and I get ready to fight her but then I think.

"You four follow us." Mr. Jones says and we follow them.

"You guys will go up in 10 minutes." Mr. Jones says. Frankie and I wait behind the stage. Both Zach and Vanessa walk up on stage. Zach looks at me and then away as he goes up there.

"So I was thinking after we get off the stage. We could dance with each other. You know to make it realistic." He says.

"Okay I would love to dance with you." I say to him.

"Okay what song?I could ask the music person to play that song for us." He says.

"Paper Hearts by Tori Kelly." I say. His eyes begins to sparkle.

"That used to be my ex's favorite song. We used to dance to that song all the time." He says. I look at him.

"Oh we could dance to another song." I say.

"N-No it's okay." He wraps his arm around my waist and I hold onto you.

A lot of claps burst from the other side. Both Zach and Vanessa walk off the stage. Vanessa and Zach kiss each other. I look down.  

"You guys up on stage now." The stage manager says and we walk up there. Most of the crowd had their mouths open.

I clutch onto Frankie and he holds onto me.

He whispers, "Just breathe Tiana. Just breathe." I take a deep breath.

"Hello everyone it's so nice to see you guys today. As the next CEO of Fairview Hospital Center....I am here to announce that Tiana my girlfriend will be also helping me with helping out with the company. Any questions?" The press start raising their hands.

"You over there sir." Frankie points to a man with a blue tie.

"We all thought you were a player. But why a African American woman?" The man asks.

"I'm not a player, I love Tiana with all my heart. I love all races. Next question." He says causing me to blush.

He looks at a woman wearing a periwinkle dress holding a notebook.

"You over there." His hands starts shaking as I hold them.

"Well we all suspected that this whole dating thing was faked so prove it by kissing each other." she says with attitude. Frankie turns to me and kisses me, I kiss him back. The crowd says aww and we turn to the reporter.

"That's all the time we have on stage today." Frankie says. The press tries to stop us by asking for us to answer their questions.

We walk behind the stage.

"Tiana are you ready to dance?" He asked.

"Yes I am ready to dance." My phone starts beeping and it's Adriana.

"How about you answer that while I go request that song?" He says walking off. I watch where he goes before answering the phone.

"H-Hello?" I asked her with a shaking voice. I'm still nervous from being on the stage. Not really used to getting that much attention.

"I saw everything on the news. Now talk." Adriana says. She doesn't sound happy.

"What do you want me to say Adri?" I ask confused.

"Well you didn't even tell me, your fucking best friend, that you actually like Frankie but you tell Liliana and Jayde?" Adriana is pissed now.

"Adri I was going to tell you. I never forgot about you." I say to her.

"Tiana you really like that fucking boy. He is a drug addict using that good grades act to get girls. Stupid girls like you."

"Adriana you are not going to tell me who I can and not like. It's not my fault he used you for sex." The words lip out of my mouth. Regret fills my mind.

"Is that really how you feel? You know what Tiana, fuck you. Don't fucking call me no more. I don't ever want to see you again." She says before sniffling.

"Adriana I didn't me-" She hung up before I could finish my sentence. Tears fall down my face and I walk over to Frankie.

"Tiana what's the matter?" He asks me. He holds me.

"I'll put the song on for you two in 7 minutes." The djay says.

"Thank you Ivan." Frankie says. Frankie pulls me aside and wipes away my tears. He holds me close and I just burst into tears.

"Adriana is mad at me." I say and he rubs my back.

"Why is she mad at you?" He asked me.

"She is mad because I didn't tell her that I liked you." I just confessed that I like Frankie Jones. Something that I never thought I would say to him before.

He smirks then says, "You like me, I like you too." I kiss his lips and he kisses me back. I needed him.

"I can't wait to get to the hotel." He says. He kisses my neck and I moan silently.

"Well I found your sweet spot." He says before winking. I blush a bit. At first he made me feel afraid but then once I got used to being around him, I felt something more. Am I feeling love?

"Come on let's go dance." Both Frankie and I make our way to the dance floor. We dance around as they played Look Alive by Blocboy JB.

"Alright Alright this song goes out to Tiana and Frankie." The whole crowd Awws and clap. We make our way to the middle of the dance floor. Paper Hearts playing. Both of us join together taking each other's hands. Smiling at each other. We begin slow dancing.

"Frankie I have to warn you I'm not much of a good dancing when it comes to slow dancing." I tell him.

"It's okay. Just follow my lead and relax." He says and I do as told.

I smile at him and he smiles at me. Did I change something about Frankie Jones? Does he really love me? He wasn't lying about loving me?

The song ends and we stand there staring at each other. We both lean in and kiss each other. The kiss was perfect in my eyes. The crowd begins clapping.
