Ghetto Love Story

Chapter Three: Trust Issues

      I laid in my bed and thought about the night I had with Johno and how he treated me everything was perfect and beautiful. I really liked the way he treated me he does this every chance he gets he has the money to do it so it does phase him one bit at all.

       It was 8:30 pm and I had just a few things to do I had already finished the three papers I had to write and now I was working on my journalism topics and discussions so that I'd be ready to go when the debate comes up.
           About an hour and forty-five minutes later I was saving my information and logging off my laptop I closed it and got up from my bed and placed it at my office desk in my room.

        " you don't hit my line no more uh oh oh you don't make It ring ring ring I can't keep this on the low I want you to make ring-." kehlani played from my IphoneX Max indicating that Lavon was calling I walked back over to my bed trying to catch the call before he got my voicemail.

" wassup ma, how you doing?"

"I'm good dell where my baby boy?"

" he's asleep right in the baby bed. I had wanted to talk to you so I was wondering can we meet at 10 pm I know that late for you to be out, but I need to talk to you."

" uh sure I guess what's so important you can't talk to me over the phone." - I gestured out to him I was really tired it wasn't that I didn't wanna meet him I was exhausted.

" Asani, please we can meet at the park or we can meet at a restaurant, I'm not bringing Asan out of the house it too late and it a little chilly out so it is alright with you that she watches him?"

"now you know damn well-"

" bro! she ain't gon harm him just fucking chill out with that bullshit and fucking meet my dawg!" - he spat as he cut me off in my sentence he anger was over the top and he knows how I felt about being yelled at.

"beep beep"- the phone indicated that he had hung up in my face
I was pissed I walked over to my closet and grabbed my black and white Adidas tracksuit and my all-white Adidas running shoes. I jumped dressed and grabbed my keys and phone off my nightstand. Heading toward my front door I shot him texting saying I was on the way.

         Unlocking my front door I walked out and locked it behind me, walked into the elevator, and stepped off when I arrived in front of the parking garage. About 10 minutes later I was pulling at IHOP I walked in, and asked the waiter for a booth for two he directed me over to the right and I sat at the booth. "Would you like to order now it wait miss?" "um actually I won't be eating much can I have 2 strawberry lemonade and one side of fruits?"

          I said smiling at him I sat there about 5-10 minutes later as I could see Lavon pulling into a parking spot. He walked in a similar outfit he had on a NIKE red and white tracksuit and his all-white NIKE running shoes.

"Wasssam Ma ?"- he said sliding into his and smiling at the strawberry lemonade I had bought him.

"Nothing wassup?"- I said nonchalantly with a slight attitude he'd already pissed me off soo oh well.

" thank you for coming to meet me I know it's late and you have shit to do."- he said trying to search my eyes for clues and answers, but there weren't any I wouldn't give him any.

" ya uh, so wassup?"- I asked trying to hurry this process because if it were left up to him he wouldn't say shit he'd stall all night.

" well damn, I been wanting to tell since Asan's appointment, but I didn't want you to try and hurt anyone."- he stated looking kind of serious

"You staling bruh!" -I spat he was beginning to irritate me

"Asani I'm sorry I fucked up and I can't get out of this I'm really sorry for hurting even more, but I'm asking you to please not take Asan away from me." - he stated with so much sincerity in his voice and a look of guilt in his eyes.
