JOANNE POV Black was supposed to been here, we was going to my family reunion today. I thought it would be a good idea even through we're still friends, we are working our way into a relationship. I just didn't want to rush anything so I asked Black can we take things slow and he was okay with that. Just then I heard my intercom ring I buzz him in and unlock the door. Then I ran to my room to throw on my clothes. " you're ass rushing me and you not even dress yet" Black said walking into my room. You know I get hot quick I said throwing on my jewelry.

"Babe how do I look " putting my hand on my hips striking a pose. "You look nice" Black said not once looking up from his phone. I was feeling a way I don't think Black think I'm attractive but it's okay we're just friends who do naughty things with each other from time to time. I got to remind myself to stop being mushy with him as of today no more pet names.I'm ditching in to much to be receiving nothing but dull ness. I walk away and went to the kitchen to grab the potato salad and the banana pudding out the refrigerator. BLACK I screamed he was so into his phone he didn't even realize me leave the room, he Came out the room grabbing the food out my hand and kissing me on the cheek."babe you look so sexy right now I don't even feel like going to the reunion , we can make our on generation of nappy headed kids" I blushed and walked to his car. "No thank you" he Came in the car putting the food in the back seat. "Nope" making sure I pop the p , I was being petty and I didn't care. He looked at me sternly and just started the car. "What's the address" he said with an attitude, I'll text it to you I said looking threw my instagram. "You really testing my fucking patients Jo what's your deal why you mad " he said not yelling but raising his voice . "I'm not your child so don't scream at me, matter fact you can drop me off and go about your day after" I said turning up the radio avoiding making eye contact , singing along to The carters Boss. He put the address in his gps and started driving . While we was driving I keep stealing glances at him, to see if he was still mad , but I couldn't read his face expression. I felt bad the way I Came at him and when I was about to say Black out my mouth he look over at me like bitch don't even try, so I went against it.
As we pulled up to our destination I look at Black again hoping he would say something but he just look so unbothered. Black can you help me with the food I said while scratching my head.
He chuckle and said something under his breath getting out the car and getting the food out the back seat. I got out and rolled my eyes, I wanted to asked him what the fuck he said but I decided I wasn't going bring no drama to my family event.
I led Black to the kitchen and just when I worked the courage up to say something to my baby
"Well well well if it isn't the daughter who never comes nor call to check up on her mother" my mother Debra said.
There she go being extra, I'm giving this lady 3 strikes today. I rolled my eyes and turn around slowly. Hey mother I'm sorry I don't check up on you I just be busy I said in a preppy voice. Her eyes went to Black he look so uncomfortable. "Oh child please you are never to busy to check up on your mother and I be more fine if you introduce me to the guy that seem to been having all of your attention for you not to check up on your own mother". Strike two I said out loud. "What was that" Ms. Debra said, Nothing mother this is Black my Fri..
BLACK
Her boyfriend cutting JoJo off wrapping my arms around her waist while taking my other hand shaking Ms.Debra hand.JoJo cleared her throat and smile looking at her mother "Well if you don't mind mother I would like to introduce Black to the family" she said pulling me to the nearest bathroom.
"Baby I'm sorry" JoJo said hugging me burying her head and my chest, I sucked my teeth and pushed her off of me leaving the bathroom.
I went out to the backyard where I seen her family and guess who I seen my niggas Micheal and Balt they must of came with Tracy and Stephanie. I went to dap my niggas up.
Wassup niggas why you bitches didn't mentioned yall was pulling up to the family reunion when I was with you guys earlier. They both shrug their shoulders and started introducing me to JoJo family.
JOANNE
I cannot believe this nigga Black left me in the bathroom looking dumb ugh he so stupid and immature. No he is not he is a fine ass man and you're pushing him away Joanne go out there and introduce your man to your family. As I made my way to the backyard I said a few couples hello heading over to Black and them.
"I see you met everyone" I said taking my arms and throwing over Black shoulders. He looked at me not saying a world. Baby can you stop being mean to i'm sorry I make it up to you I said winking. He chuckled and removed my arms and turn around to Balt making a conversation. I feel so embarrassed "BITCH HE CURVE YOUR ASS LIKE YOU A HOMELESS ASKING HIM FOR A HUG" Tracy loud ass said. I smack her upside her head and went to the kitchen to make me and Black a plate.
When I came back Uncle Pete and Aunt Carol was laughing with Black. I smiled at my Uncle Pete and we did our famous hand shake. He was always like a father to me when my dad left, my aunt sucked her teeth jealous that I wasn't paying her no mind. I gave Black his plate and he said thankyou and walk away I sighed.
"Having problems already" Aunt Carol said.
Just had a little disagreement he would be okay. "Well he better because I would hate to take him from my favorite niece" she said looking at Black seductively. I rolled my eyes and chuckled " Trust me hun he is to young for you how would you keep up with him" I kissed her cheek.
Hours later
" You haven't said anything to me all day if you don't want nothing to do with me let me know because I'm not about to waste my time playing cat and mouse with you" I said looking at Black pouting. He look so good driving right now. "Stop talking to me bit.." he said cutting himself off. NO SAY IT SINCE YOU WANT TO SAY IT ,SAY WHATS OFF YOUR CHEST i screamed at him.
Black sighed cutting up the radio The Weeknd Call out my name played on the radio
"we find each other I helped you out of a broken place" he started to sing sounding horrible I joined in sounding more horrible. We pulled up in front of my building Black look over at me "Jo I understand you been hurt by many other people and I'm not perfect and your not either you got to understand your not the only one who love and lost. I think we should take a break from seeing each other for a while because we argue more than a married couple and we only been talking for 3 months" I just stared at him. "No" I said looking at him. "Yes we argue and A lot but what relationship is perfect I'm not giving up on us because you made me happier then I ever been in only three months so I ain't letting you go" I said with watery eyes , "I just feel like a break from each other would make matters worse we can't run when things get tough and I'm not quitting Black , don't leave me like everyone else" I said putting my head down. BLACK POV "Jo I'm not leaving you we can still be friends I'm not ready for all this" I said looking away . I can't stand the sight of seeing my JoJo cry but I'm not about to fix someone who is broken and can't be fix. Jo told me a lot about her relationships with men including her father and they all left her when things got rough and I'm honestly not trying do that. But she just pushes me away and puts me and a bad place because of my mother. She reminded me of her so much. I think that's what attracted me to her . My mother wasn't always a cold hearted drug addict but when my brother got murder she pushed me away and that's the same energy I get from Jo. I can't change her and she can't change me we both broken. She grabbed my face and kiss me, climbing over to my seat pushing my chair back an look directly in my eyes "Don't do this to me" she said kissing me passionately. I broke away from the kiss "I got to for your own good" she open up the car door and walked inside her building. I want her and one day she would be my wife but for right now it's better if we just go our own way from now. I kept looking at the building deciding should I listen to my heart or my mind.
