He Might Be Bad But He's Mine

Always Barging In

JD

Dinner with her grams and gramps was a little awkward especially considering what her grams so graciously walked in on us doing earlier. I was really wondering if her grams had told her gramps what she had seen but I guess I don't need to worry about that anymore when her gramps speaks loud enough for the entire restraint, "So son, I hear you where having a little bit of fun while we were gone?"

I nearly choke on my food. I glance over at Jordan and she starts to blush and she looks so embarrassed that her grams had told her gramps and he had just said that in front of an entire restaurant full of people.

"No, sir..." I say trying to lead the conversation somewhere else.

"That's not what my wife here tells me boy." He says looking at Mrs. Daniels.

"Honey?... I told you not to make that a discussion at the dinner table or even bring that up." She says looking at him but having no remorse for the fact that she told him we were gonna have sex in their house in their granddaughters bedroom before she rudely barged in on us.

"Well darling it was just a question." He says taking a sip of his glass of wine.

"Well let's leave that subject alone. Why don't we talk about what college the young man plans on going to?" She says. She looks over at me and I wanna give her the most evil eye I can manage but I was raised to respect my elders no matter how rude they were.

"I plan on going to Harvard, Yale, or Columbia. I have applied to all of them."

"Well why did you apply to so many?" She asks.

Bitch because I fucking did! What do you want me to fucking say!? Jesus fucking Christ!

"I applied to all of them because I wanted to have backup plans just in case I don't get into one of them I have another one." I say instead of the very explicit words that I really wanted to say.

"That's not very courageous. I only applied to one and I made only that one school." She says tilting her head into the air like a rude bitch.

Nobody fucking cares you rude bitch! I don't fucking care!

I nodded my head at her accomplishments instead.

"James?" I hear a subtle whisper from next to me. I look over.

"Yeah babe?" I ask wondering what she was gonna say.

"Will you come with me to the bathroom?" she asks.

"Of course babe."

I look over to her grandparents and ask if we may be excused.

"Sure son. You going to go finish what you started earlier?" Her gramps asks laughing.

"No sir." I say trying to keep my cool for the sake of Jordan.

"John?! What did I tell you?" Mary yells at him.

I stand up and walk with J to the bathroom.

We get in the bathroom and she turns around and locks the door. I turn up one eyebrow as if asking her what she's doing.

She just falls into my arms and starts crying.

"Babe? What's wrong? What happened?" I ask frantically.

"That was so embarrassing James. They just sat there and talked about us like we weren't even sitting there. Everyone was starring at us."

"Babe, it's okay."

"No it's not James." She says continuing to cry in my arms.

"Babe...it's okay we're fine. Nobody in there even knows who we are. They don't know anything about us. Fuck what they think. Their opinion means nothing to us. You're amazing and way too confident to let those people get to you." I say trying to make her feel better.

"I wanna go home." She says still crying.

"Home home? Or home like back to your grandparents house?" I ask.

"Back to the house. I can't go back out there. It's too embarrassing."

"Okay babe. We'll go back to the house." I say holding her.

I tilt her chin up to look me in the eyes. I kiss her softly. I look at her beautiful eyes and wipe away her tears from her cheeks and her eyes.

"Come on babe." I say putting my arm around her shoulders and walking towards the doors of the restaurant.

We reach the doors and I pull out my phone and get an Uber to take us back to the house.

The Uber pulls up outside as I hold J in my arms because she's shivering in my arms.

I open the door for her and then when she's climbed in I climb in next to her and shut the door. I tell the Uber where to take us and I hold J's hand as she leans into my arms putting her head on my chest.

We get to the house and the Uber driver turns around and she says," That'll be... You guys are too cute."

"Thanks" I say smiling as I look down at J who's sleeping in my arms.

She just smiles and I prop J up on her own and she's still sleeping as I go to the front door of the car and reach in and give the driver a 50 dollar bill.

"Oh sweet heart that's way too much." She says tearing up and looking up to give me a smile.

"Merry Christmas" I tell her as I go back to the back of the car and pick up J out of the car bridle style and carry her into the house.

The Uber driver pulls out of the long driveway and makes her way to her next pickup.

I look down at J and smile as I take her up the stairs into her room and lay her down on the bed and under the covers. I pull the covers off on the bottom for me to have just enough room to take her shoes off.

I place her shoes next to the bed and stand next to her side and admire the beautiful woman laying in front of me.

I truly couldn't ask for anything more this Christmas. I have all I ever wanted right in front of me.

"Goodnight Love." I whisper down to her and kiss her forehead as I take myself to my own room before her grandparents can come back and see us in the same bed again.

I smile as I walk to room and take off my dress clothes and get into the shower to wash off all the awful moments of that dinner.
