Expectations

10//Chocolate Pies

"Okay this is dope." Manny says as she enters Dylans new home. "Are you rich Dylan? This place is freaking huge and a man living alone who doesn't have much money would just get an apartment."

"I live.... comfortable." He says behind as he shuts his two big doors. He comes up from behind her and rubs her shoulders as they look at the big beautiful house. It's been three weeks since she had gotten an abortion, and in the span between then and now Dylan has found him a home to move into because he knows that if they decide to be together it would be dangerous for him to sneak around with her in her fathers house so he moved to Palos Hills which is fifteen minutes away from her nearby town of Worth. He also took her to her follow up appointment and everything went well.

"So you wanna impress my mom huh?" She shrugs off her jacket to hang it up on the coat rack and took off boots at the front door. "Yeah your dad says she expecting me to bring something for Thanksgiving, I know we are a secret but I still don't want her to hate me for not contributing." It warmed her heart how he genuinely cared of what her family thought of him because if he made them happy it made her happy. "Show me wheres the kitchen."

"Now just top it off with whip cream." Manny told Dylan as they finish making two delicious chocolate pies. "Baby this looks amazing. I'm glad we made two because I don't know if this Pie would last until Thursday." He says

"This was all you. I'm proud of you. Next thing you know you'll be cooking up a storm."

He leans down and kiss her plump lips. "I don't know about all that." They soon were interrupted by the doorbell. Manny eyes widen hoping it's not her dad. "Go wait up in my room until I check out who it is."

Manny waited, she hears voices, mostly words of excitement, soon enough she hears Dylan calls her name down. As she walks down the stairs she sees two males. One black one white. These must be friends. They have beers in their hands hugging Dylan and they soon turn to look at Manny as she came down. "Hey guys this is my girlfriend Manny. Manny this is Trev and Scott. I went to school with them."

"Hi, nice to meet you all." She smiles, he introducing me to his friends while I look like this? Gosh they must think I look a hot mess right now. Manny had her hair in a messy ponytail. She also has joggers on. "Wow you're beautiful  and very young." Scott the white one says.

"How you score this one?" Trev asks. "You don't wanna know." He says literally.
"We were just about to try out this Pie Dylan made. If you guys want some follow me to the kitchen." she gestured. They commented on the house and made a comment on how he actually made something for once. Dylan was too busy looking at her ass. They stood on the on the other side of the island as she served them. Dylans watched her as he thought she would be an amazing house wife. "So did he burn anything in the process." Trev says as Manny hands him a plate with a slice of pie. "Nope it was an easy ride for him. I'm proud." She turns to Dylan and gives him a wink.

"This your recipe? Man, when I can sign up for private baking lessons with you, I want dessert." He flirted. "Uh" is all Manny can get out because she didn't know how to comment on that.

"Trevor don't have me kick your ass, disrespect my girl again I'm kicking you out." Trev put his hands up in defense. "Sorry man, just use to making flirty comments to your wife and you would let it slide."

"Well she's not my ex wife. She's different." Dylans finishes as Trev nods his head and apologizes to Manny. She accepts his apology but then checks her phone when she gets a text from Lisa.

Lisa: girl where are you.

Her eyes widen when the time reads that it's almost seven. "Sorry guys, I have to get home."

"Let me drive you home. The guys can stay here." He says as he slides off the stool. "Please, the buses just stopped running." She say her goodbyes and head to the door sliding on her snow boots and coat.

He drops her off a block away from the house so her mom won't see. "Sorry about Trevor. He's a dick sometimes." She nods in understanding and unbuckles her seat belts when he leans over and crushes his lips with hers. "I love kissing you." He mumbles into her lips as he slides his to tongue into hers as they intertwined with each other. When they pulled away she says one last good bye and walks the rest of the way to her house.

"Where the hell have you been Manny?" Her moms says waiting her at the foyer. "Mathletes. I'm sorry I should've called."

"I thought Mathletes was cancelled?" Shit I told her that yesterday but I forgot Dylan was picking me up. "They uncancelled it." She says as her mom eyes her suspiciously. Her mom knows she's lying but she don't know why.

"Where have you been girl." Lisa whispers as Manny comes inside her room. Lisa is on her bed waiting for her. "Don't say Matheletes because I know that cancelled it."

"Shh! Stop being so loud. I was with Dylan." Lisa stands up and walks towards Manny.
"What do you mean?"

"We been hanging out for a while and now we're together on the down low." She whispers. Lisa is in disbelief. She can't believe she would sneak around with an grown man. "This isn't you Manny. Is he forcing you?"

"The fuck? No I like him Lisa. Why do you always think I'm reserved girl? I like men and I like sex, stop thinking of me as a kid. Just because you can't keep a committed relationship doesn't mean you have to be all in my business." Manny snapped. Lisa was done. She held her hand up for her to stop.

"Okay I get it, but when aunty and your dad finds out, don't even think I'll be able to back you up in this one." And then she walks out.
