Him and I

Chapter 14

Tyrene Pov

Lloyd and I are going strong. We're not dating, but we talking, I guess. I never text him around Dad. He'd have a cow. Again. But today Lloyd and I are going to hang out. Dad thinks it's just me and Xavier. Grace is still on punishment. Still. Her dad was so mad. I didn't know he was so upset. I felt bad honestly. Oh well. Nothing I can do. I get out of bed and walk down the steps. Dad is downstairs making breakfast. I sit at the table. "What are you and Xavier gonna do today?" Lloyd and I are gonna go to the movies. "Uh- we're gonna see a movie. Probably do a little movie hopping." He nodded. He slid an omelet out the pan and onto the plate. He put the plate in front of me. "What time do I need to take you?" I actually didn't know that. "Around 3ish, Maybe." He nodded. He was still sleepy. I ate and went to my room. Time to get cute.

I took a much needed shower. I FaceTimed Grace after I got out. I still had my towel wrapped around me. "Hay girl." She waved. Weirdo. She knew I was hanging out with Lloyd today. "Are you ready?" The camera was facing the ceiling. I dropped the towel. "Ready for what? We're just going to the movies. Nothing special." She made a face. "Mmhm. If you say so. One time I suh..." I didn't want to hear that. "Ewww. Noooo. Stop. I get it. I will be doing none of that. That's nasty." "You say that now." She's gross. I put on a T-shirt and jeans. I laid in bed and talked to grace for a little while longer. Then Dad knocked on my door. Did I mention I got my door back!? "Come in!" He walked in wearing his casual clothes. "You ready?" I looked at my phone. I had been talking to Grace for 3 hours. "Oh crap. Yea yea. I'm ready. Bye Grace." I hung up and grabbed my wallet.

When we got to the movies, Dad gave me 40$ and left. I'm so happy he didn't inquire. I waited about 10 minutes for Lloyd to come. He drove himself. He walked over to me and hugged me. "Does your dad know you're here with me?" I shrugged. "Sorta. He dropped me off. He thinks I'm with Xavier." Lloyd shook his head. "You're going to be the death of me and you both." I laughed. "Let's worry about dying later. Let's have fun now." We walked into the movie theater. I pick the movie. It's Aladdin the remake. I've been wanting to see it for the longest. Lloyd didn't care what we saw. (If you haven't seen it. 10/10 would recommend.) we watched it holding each other's hand. He's so cute. He sung all the songs with me. I loved the parade part. It was amazing. The movie ended. I really didn't want to go home. "Cmon Ty, I gotta get you home." What? What was he talking about? "Uh Yea, youre not about to make your dad and your 2 big ass uncle kill me." I guess he was right.

I pouted as soon as we got in the car. "Can we go get something to eat. My dad gave me $40 to spend and I didn't spend it. Please" He looked at the clock. It was around 6:15. "OkayTy." Yay. I squealed in my seat. We pulled into a steak and shake. I couldn't wait. I love their mushroomswiss burger. (I really do.) We were seated and ordered. "So howd you like the movie?" He strugged. "It was okay." He smirked. "Okay? Just okay? That movie was great." He shrugged again. "I guess." I rolled my eyes. We talked for about 45 more mintues befre my phone rang. It was dad. I shushed Lloyd. " Hay dad." He asked me did i want him ti come now and told me it was gettig late. "Uh- I, we left the movie theater and went to get something to eat. Were about to leave though." Lloyd started standing up. Yep it was time to go home. As I stood I felt my heart drop to the floor. Anthony walked in. He made eye contact with me. Fuck he saw me. That didn't stop me from trying to escape. I walked toward the door. "Tyrene." Fuck. Lloyd looked at me. He looked terrified. We both stopped. I turned around. "Hi uncle Anthony." He looked unbothered. "Sit down." We both walked over to the booth we had been previously sitting at. We sat on the same side and he sat across from us. "Ty I don't want any lies okay?" Surprisingly he was extremely calm. I nodded. "Does Andre know you're out here with him." I shook my head. "Okay. Is this Lloyd?" I nodded my head. This is so embarrassing. Lloyd had his head down. I know he was nervous. "Where were you guys hanging?" "Uh we went to the movies. Dad dropped me off. He thought I was with Xavier but I met Lloyd here. Lloyd drove us here." He nodded his head. "Son look at me." Lloyd looked up. Anthony extended his arm to him. "I'm Anthony, Tyrenes Uncle. I'm sorry we had to meet on such terms." Lloyd shook his hand. This is going better than I thought. Anthony looked at me. "You're gonna go home, walk in the house with Lloyd, and tell your dad where you have been all day. Am I clear?" I got a little sad. Honestly the situation could be much worst. It could have been Antrez, who would have snatched me out the booth and probably smacked me on sight. "Ty am I clear?" I nodded. "Okay good. Let's go." Now!? I stood up and slid out the booth. Uh man. "I'm gonna follow y'all to Andres house. Okay?" I nodded. I'm so scared.
