A Good Kind of Change

Turn My Bad Mood Around

I walk to my room and shut the door. I grab my pajamas and change into them getting more aggravated. I go to the bathroom and clean my face and brush my hair out. I feel a little better now.

I'm laying on my bed waiting for Colin to call. I'm in my room trying not to cry because of what moms said and just from pure frustration. I do not understand why she can't just let me be happy.

Finally Colin calls and I tell him I'll meet him in the parking garage. I know if he comes up and we go in my room and close my door moms is going to have something to say. Why can't she just let me live my life?

I grab my keys and walk out of my room. My mom stares me down and I walk out the door to the elevator. I all but run downstairs to the parking garage. I let out a breath when I see his car parked beside mine.

"Hey baby doll." he says smiling at me. I relax even more at the sound of his voice.

"Hey Colin." I say smiling. He grabs my hand and leans in to kiss me. I kiss him slowly and sweetly tongue and all. Just the fact that it isn't rushed makes it so much sexier. We kiss for a while until I pull away.

"I got you Starbucks princess."

"Thank you." I say and kiss his cheek. I take long sips of my vanilla latte thinking.

"You're welcome. Anything for you."

"You gonna tell me what happened during your drive home?" he asked softly. I lean my head against his shoulder and he kisses the top of my head. I tell him what my mom said to me and he rolls his eyes.

"Baby doll you are far from selfish. I know you are not selfish whatsoever. If anything your mom is the selfish one. You are not fat at all you are thick and perfect to me. You're gorgeous, Shanya. Don't let anyone tell you differently, not even your mother and as for Trayson... Just no."

He brushes my hair back from my face and smiles at me. "I love you Shanya."

"I love you too Colin..." I say leaning in and kissing him.

"You wanna go inside?" I ask him.

"Yeah, sure." he says smiling. Why is he so smiley all of the time?

I get to my door and hope moms doesn't try to start shit with me.

"Where the hell have you been?" Here we go... I can't even get inside before she start asking questions.

"Chill, I was outside with Colin..." I say rolling my eyes. I feel him tense behind me and I turn and wrap my arm around his waist.

"How dare you leave me in here and I didn't know where you were. You just walk out and don't say where you were going. Grow the hell up Shanya and stop being so damn selfish!" I'm convinced she needs professional health. How is me walking out to meet Colin selfish?

"Okay..." I say and walk past her to my room with Colin. I close the door and fall onto my bed. Why is she being so damn complicated? Colin lays beside me and rubs my back. I literally cannot form a coherent thought right now.

Not even five minutes later my mom comes barging through my door taking about how it's disrespectful to close the door because I'm alone with Colin and she doesn't know what I'm doing.

"But we weren't doing anything!" I whine at her.

"I don't care. Don't close this door when I'm here. Have some manners Shanya." What the hell is she smoking...

"But I'm twenty-two years old. It's my apartment and I pay rent so how the hell you gonna come in here telling me what I can and can't do?"

"But let's not forget who the parent is. What I say goes and I don't give a damn if you like it or not."

"Why are you doing this..." I ask rolling my eyes. I swear we go at it for like fifteen minutes before she gives up and walks out closing the door.

"Watch her be all nice to me now. She so lame..." I say laying halfway on Colin. He's so muscular and hard looking but he's actually really comfortable.

He shakes his head and rubs my back. He pulls me up so I'm laying on top of him and we start to kiss. Slow, sweet, and passionate. His hand go to my hips and my hands go around his neck and we lay there kissing. There's nothing frantic about it but I do start to feel some type of way.

I do not want to start something with my mom down the hall lurking. We kiss for a few more minutes until I in start to yawning.

"Sleepy sweet thang?" he asks quietly.

"Nah..." I say giggling and I yawn again.

"Oh really? You not sleepy?" he asks smirking at me.

"I lied." I say groaning. I honestly hate being sleepy when I'm with Colin. Sleeping wastes time.

"It's almost midnight, I'm gonna go home but I'll come over tomorrow or you can come to my house and bring your crazy ass mom and your hating ass step sister if you'd like." he says cheekily.

"She ain't my step sister. I don't claim her." I say pouting.

"Why you lying. You know you got love for her. Y'all family." he says. Then he starts singing Who Do You Love by YG. He is so lame sometimes.

"I love you. That's who I love." I say standing up and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I love you too. Now go get some sleep." He picks me up and places me under my covers.

"Goodnight my princess." he says all corny.

"Good night Prince Charming." I say smiling up at him. He kisses my lips and my forehead.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Behave!" he says walking out.

I love just how he can turn my bad mood around and make me feel so much better.
