You the Best, Yo (COMPLETED)

Chapter 22

Chris (Freckles):

We walked into the house and headed for the kitchen. We made sure that we were straightened out. Mari threw her hair into a messy bun and we straightened out our clothes so that nothing was obvious. We saw my mom, Hennessey, Mel and Ty sitting at the island having a conversation. My mom looked up from her conversation at me and gave me a look. Shit, does she know.

“Well it took you long enough.” She said standing up giving me another hug. 

“Yeah sorry about that, there was a lot of traffic.” I told her. Tyga spit of his juice and tried not the laugh. My mom looked back at him and than looked at me with a confused look on her face. I shook my head. “Uhh … mom this is Amarie.” My mom looked at Mari and her smile grew.

“Nice to meet you Ms. Joyce.” Mari said holding out her hand. My mom pushed her hand away and pulled her in for a tight hug. Mari was startled at first but she got comfortable with it. My mom released the hug and held both of Mari’s hands.

“Chris she is so beautiful. I could tell she is a nice young lady.” My mom said smiling at Mari and Mari returned one back.

“Ma we about to go get cleaned up and stuff.” I said pulling Mari away from my moms trance. 

“Okay baby, I knew I smelled sex.” My mom said walking back to the island. Me and Mari’s face flashed with embarrassment while we headed upstairs. I heard Ty laughing in the background. Mari and I decided to take a shower together to save some time. We finished showering and got dressed in our night clothes. We headed downstairs to see only my mom and Hennessey sitting in the living room.

“You know I always thought you would be Chris’ wife. I hate that things didn’t work out between you guys.” My mom said to Hennessey. A lump grew in my throat and Mari stood beside me with her eyes glued to the floor. I cleared my throat. Hennessey and my mom gave me their attention. I grabbed Mari’s hand and we sat on the couch next to my mom while Hennessey was sat on the love seat. “Oh Chris I didn’t even see you there.” She said nervously.

“What you guys talking about?” I asked dryly.

“Oh just remising on the past.” Hennessey said smirking on me. She was getting on my last fucking nerves.

“Oh.” I said and looked at Mari. She was looking to her side, not giving anyone any attention what so ever. I could tell that she was upset by what she heard. She was probably hurt more than anything. I don’t understand why my mom can’t just realize that Hennessey doesn’t mean shit to me. She was my past and I was with my future. I could tell my mom could sense Mari’s emotions so she tried to cheer up the mood.

“So Amarie, how long have you and my Christopher been dating?” My mom asked cheerfully.

“Almost 5 months.” Mari said dryly. My mom let out a silent sigh. I knew she could tell that Mari was upset by what she had said. The whole room sensed it. Hennessey sat in the love seat grinning. 

“Amarie, I really didn’t mean what I said. I think you are guys are a good couple. It’s just Hennessey and Chris have a past so…” My mom said trailing off. I could tell Mari was getting more upset by the second.
