JJ pov
I damn near chocked on my water.
"What?" I said
"My boyfriend " said my mom
"What the-" I said before I felt Veronica kick my though under the table
"I'm sorry " said Veronica
Why was she backing mom up like she had a whole argument over if it was OK for her to date new people and I just don't want my momma to get hurt.
"Ok well let's eat" said mom
"Ok" said Veronica
"My name is Jason"
"Oh what do you do for a living Jason ?" Veronica asked
"Well I used to own a bar but I eventually sold it."
Veronica
"Why?"JJ asked in a suspecting tone
"Well there was always people getting into fights, breaking tables and chairs and overall being rude. "
"You gave up your main source of income because of petty bar fights?"
"Wel-" Jason said
"J can I have a word with you in the living room?"my mom said as her eyes slowly widen
"yes ma'am " he said in a low voice
"Jason I'm so sorry about JJ it's all new for everyone "
"Mhmh "he said quietly
Jason
"Boy if you say one more slick shit I'm beating your ass a'ight "
"But Ma-"
"But Ma my ass JJ you need to respect grown people end of story "
"yes ma'am"
We walked back to the table and I didn't say a word for the rest of dinner hoping no would ask me nothing.After dinner I walked back to my room before taking a a short nap, when I woke up I made my way to the bathroom so I noticed it was locked so I waited for my turn.
"JJ " Jason said wearing pajamas
I walked away quickly heading toward my mom's room before bumping into Veronica.
"What the hell JJ?" she said in a shocked voice
"What the hell is Jason doing here?"
"He's not here he left"
"I just saw him I'm the bathroom with pajamas, Is he living here Veronica?"
"No just go back to sleep your being mad paranoid JJ "
"Alright maybe I'm just trippin"
But when I tried to sleep I couldn't sleep I didn't trust this man around Veronica and my mom. I got on my computer and stayed up looking up sex offenders in our city and our state, nothing. I finally looked up his name and saw multiple mugshots with charges that included domestic violence, drunk driving and child endangerment. I couldn't sleep for the rest of night.The next day I needed to tell Veronica and mom.
Veronica
"Oh my goodne-"
"What are you guys doing it's time to go ?"mom said as I slammed the laptop closed
"Yes just let me get my jacket" I said
"Igh hurry up" she said walking away from the door
"What are you doing we need to show mom this?"JJ said mad
" I don't know I'm not sure we should show this to her this is her first time I've seen her so happy since dad died. "I said
"Bu-"he said
"Listen maybe if we see something weird we'll tell mom alright"
