Dark Secrets, Big Lies |Toni Topaz|

 Time Jump~

Every single night for the past 2 weeks I've woken up to Jade sneaking out of the house at the same time every night, and she comes home at the same time. She says she's working but she's never had to do runs every night like this before. My mind is going to one place and it's a place I don't want it to go. My mind is telling me she's cheating on me, I can only pray that it isn't true but if it was you what would you think?

And like clock work here we are again her coming into the room and changing her clothes. "Work again tonight Jade?" "Shit babe you scared me, yes work again tonight. Have you been up long?" She asks climbing into the bed. "Doesn't matter." I respond giving her the cold shoulder.

"Please babe don't start with that I know what you're thinking." I turn on the bedside lamp so I can see her face clearly "and what the fuck do you think I'm thinking Jade? My girl sneaking out every night at the same time, you come home at the same time. Sneaking back into bed. So please tell me what am I thinking?" I say practically yelling at her.

"You think I'm cheating on you?" Jade asks, "that's what my mind is telling me, so yeah I think you're cheating." I respond crossing my arms. "Toni, babe I'm not cheating on you how many times do I have to say I don't want anyone else I want you, it's always been you. I know what I've been doing looks suspect but I promise you at the end of the weekend you will find out what I've been doing. But I'm telling you this I only have eyes for you Toni. I'm not cheating I promise you that, I've never lied to you and I damn sure ain't going to start now." Jade responds rubbing my leg.

"Alright Jade, this weekend whatever you're doing it stops and I want to know the truth. No more sneaking in and out, it happens again and what we got going on ends. Understand?" She looks at me and nods "I promise you babe this weekend you will know everything. No more sneaking out. And us, there will never be an ending to us Toni it's only going to get better from here I promise."

...................................................................

Hearing Toni's mindset thinking I'm cheating on her broke my heart. That's the last thing I would do to her, since we began hooking up she's became my absolute world. At the end of the weekend she would see what I've been doing secretly around the clock for the last few months. And I would finally ask her to be my girlfriend officially. After letting Toni cool down for a little bit I talk to her again "so are we good?" I ask flipping through the channels. 

"We're good, let's forget about everything. Today is a big day for you babe" Toni replies climbing onto my lap and kissing me. "Are you nervous for tonight?" She asks. "Starting to I have to leave in about 2 hours to go and get my dad. Honestly thought this day was never going to come." I reply rubbing her back. "Well it's here babe, I'm happy for you and your brother finally have a little normalcy now." I smile "thanks baby, this weekend is a big one for us all. We have our first prom. I'm actually excited, more excited to see you in your dress finally." She smiles "we're about to look bomb as fuck together babe. I'm excited too."

After watching TV for a little bit I decide to start getting ready for tonight. Once I got my dad we would go straight to the Wyrm for his surprise welcome home party. So this would be my only chance to do my makeup and hair. I chose a pair of black ripped jeans, a sheer black halter top, custom gray glittered doc martens and no Serpent outfit is complete without a flannel so I decided to go with a black and gray flannel that I tied around my waist and finished it with my Serpent leather jacket.  

And then for my hair I decided to do two braids to give myself a faux shave side look. Did my makeup and I was ready.

"Ok babe I'm out of here, the boys should be at the Wyrm now. The food should be delivered in an hour or so if you need anything just call me." I tell Toni as I'm grabbing my keys. "Don't worry about anything babe we got it. Be careful." Toni replies "I will see you later babe" I respond giving her a kiss goodbye. Jughead decided to stay back and help with the last minute things at the Wyrm. I couldn't believe the day was here, I'm on my way to finally pick up my dad.

I get to the prison and I park in the inmate release parking lot. Now I was getting butterflies, I was so excited. Excited to start this new chapter with my dad and now my brother. Excited for the next chapter that would be written for Toni and I this weekend. Life was finally getting good again. After 20 minutes I see the doors open and there was my dad. In his all black outfit that I sent to him earlier in the week. Black jeans, black v neck t-shirt like he loves, new black leather boots, and a black and gray flannel shirt that was the male version of the one I was wearing.

The gates open and I run into my dad's arms like a kid on Christmas morning. "Dad!!!" I say hugging him. "There's my baby girl I missed you soooo much! I'm so glad to be out of that shit hole!" My dad responds holding me tightly. He let's me down "where's your brother?" He's at the Wyrm waiting for us thought we could have a few drinks. I respond trying to convince him things were normal.

"Sounds good baby girl, but no alcohol for me. In here I realized I needed to get my shit together, I missed out on a lot with you guys growing up because of my drinking. I'm done with that. This is a brand new dad standing in front of you." I couldn't help but tear up, he knew we hated his over drinking when we were little. "You sure being there won't tempt you to drink, I'm sorry I didn't even ask about that dad." He smiles "nothing can tempt me baby girl. I'll be fine I promise. And you know what we Jones say."

"We always keep our word" we both say in unison.

"Alright dad let's get you out of here" I respond turning towards my car. "Love what you've done with this beast baby girl, it's a beauty." I look at him and smile.

"Thanks Dad I learned it all from you."
