COMMITMENT, TRUST, LIES, and HORRORS

Chapter Four

Weeks had passed and nothing new, exciting, or thrilling had happened to me until one Friday night I get a phone call.

" hello ? " I said trying to figure who is clogging up my line.

" Hey Ashley, how are you ? " Hearing the voise of this young slang user I realized who it was." what do you want Ethan ? " I said almost yelling into the speaker.

" pipe down lil shawtie " he said in that hoodlum accent. " I was only calling to see if maybe you wanted to hang out or something ". What does hang out mean to him, I don't think it's a good idea because I might get might get myself into a dangerous situation.

So I told him with all confidence " Thanks, but I think ill pass ".

" What, you think I'll hurt you or something. I would never hurt a gorgeous charming young lady like yourself " he says making me blush ferociously.

Giving in to the wonderful comment I hesitantly say " fine ".

Once we had decided on a time, I went and told my dad I'm going out on a date he said it was ok but in a sad depressed kind of way. Which in the end made me feel bad about leaving the house for a date. so I grabbed my phone and called Ethan back asking him would it be ok if we stayed at my house for dinner. and to my surprise he said that it was cool.

ETHAN POV

I can't actually believe that she agreed to go on a date with me, although it's at her pop's house.And I honestly don't know why in the hell would she want our first date there. or does she even think that this is a date, h*** I don't know but I do know is that I'm going to spend time with my soon to be chick.

Arriving at apartment type looking house, I was nervous as h***. I remember the last time I was here, it was a dark and extremely hellish situation. The only thing I remember was a bunch of guns, angry men, a dead woman.

" It's nice to meet you to sir " I said as she introduced me to to father. As we were sitting on their rainbow colored couch he began hammering me down with questions back to back without giving me a chance to answer. Where do you work, do you like it, what kind of grades do you get, what are your parents name, where do you live, and what are your friends name. This must have been the most important question cuz he said it extremely slow, and he said " and most importantly what church do you attend ? "

Hesitantly I answered all of the questions in order.

" I don't go to work yet, and yes I like it " I said sarcastically. " I get b'c grades, my parents passed on a few years ago and I'm currently being raised by my uncle and auntie ". Calmly interrupting me he said " if you don't mind, could you - you know " honestly I don't like explaining my parents death cuz it make me all emotional and s***, but because they asked sincerely with their cute puffy eyes I guess I'll answer. just to be clear she has cute eyes not him, well I'm not saying that his eyes ar not cute, they are but what I'm trying to said is ... no homo yeah that's it no homo.

Anyways " it was three years ago and somehow I had gotten myself hooked up with some no good people who were suppose to be my friends but turned out to be backstabbers. But anyways were suppose to be doing this thing but I turned them down cuz my folks asked me to spend time with them that night. Long story short we got into a long argument and later that night they broke into our house and killed my parents in their sleep and well that's it ". I had to stop telling that story quick cuz I felt myself get all teary eyed and s***. " I need to go to the bathroom real quick ".

As I walked into the bathroom I thought to myself, I should have never told dat story let alone abruptly walk out the living room like that making me look like a b****.

Once back into their quite and beautifully decorated living room we continued talking about all of my past relationships and experiences and just to be clear there are alot, a whole lot. But not only did they learn alot about me, I learned or noticed a little about them. Number one they are very emotional, so if and when I ever get involved with Ashley I'll be getting involved with her and his emotions which means I'll have to stay on my tippy toes - all the time. Another thing I noticed is that they stick up for each other. Like when we found our way meddling on the subject of their deceased mother and wife he tensed up and she calmly scooted closer allowing him to rest his head on her shoulder.That I thought was so sweet and kind.

After we talked and got to know each other a little better, we ate dinner and watched the titanic.

Although I felt like I was being questioned as if in jail I can honestly say I felt like I was at  home. It's not many places I can say that but here is one of those places I can say. And another thing I can say is I think Ashley is falling for a brother. I could tell by the way she kept looking at me like I was usher or somebody.

Later that night after I had arrived home and snuck in through the window I gave her a phone call.

" Hey Ashley " I said sounding like swagger material.

" Hey Ethan what's going on " she said acting all girly.

" Nothing much I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed our date tonight "

" That most definitely wasn't a date we were just hanging out like family " she said trying to be all defensive.

" yeah, whatever. But anyways I really enjoyed myself "

" yeah that's nice to hear, well goodnight ".

" Alright goodnight Ashley ".

Waking up early the next morning, I got up took a shower got dressed and then walked out into the living room.

" Good morning " I said to my Auntie and Uncle as they stood in the kitchen drinking coffee. As I grabbed my book bag off of the wooden chair in the right corner of the kitchen my Auntie asked me smiling " So Ethan where were you last night ? ".

Here we go with this nonsense again. " I was hanging out with Ashley ".

Whipping his neck my uncle asked " the pastor's daughter ? "

When I assured them that's who I was hanging with it was almost like a wave of anger came over them. And right as my auntie balled up her lips getting ready to scream at me I quickly assured her that we didn't do anything.

" That's very good. Because I so thought I was gonna have to bury you six feet under ". said auntie T

After leaving the house I calmly message Ashley and told her I was looking forward to seeing her. With honestly I was, ever since last night I honestly think we have a shot of being together. Especially the way she was staring at a brother.

One block away from school I got pulled over into the bushes.

" I don't know who you f****** is but I aint going down without a fight ".

And the next thing I knew was I had five guys laid out on the ground.

" Dats what you f***** get don't go messin wit a n**** ! " I screamed into their ears. As I calmed down and studied deez dudes faces it came to me as a shocker, deez were my homies. And all I could say is boy they gone be pissed when get up.

In first period I was nervous as h*** about seeing ashley. I have never been this nervous in my life. And I know it's not love, cuz if this is how love feels then I can just forget all about good relationships.

It was after first period when I saw Ashley walking down the hall towards her next class period. Catching her attention she innocently walked over to me and gave me a warm friendly hug. And it was like a wave of emotion came over me. Cuz when we leaned back to end the hug I stared straight into her beautiful blue eyes. And kissed her on those big juicy pink lips and slid my right hand down wwwwaaaaaaaayyyyyyy past her waist. And I felt like I was in heaven, and then all of a sudden she jerked back slapped me in my face and screamed " you nasty perv ! " and she angrily stormed away.

Will I ever just be able to get involved without all this f****** s***.
