Little Sweet Obsessions

Capitolo 29

"He's gonna hate me. That is why I'm going to see Samira first." Jovani sighed getting dressed in the hotel. Vincenzo was passed out on the couch and Jolene was hanging in their room because she was bored.

Jovani was trying his best to but on his best to impress his... well it would be awkwardly to call him uncle. And he wanted to impress Samira. Show her he was committed to work on himself. He even reconnected with his old psychiatrist.

He wanted to prove it. He was better now. He was better to himself. He wasn't perfect but he felt better about handling his complex emotions.

"Relax Jovani as long as he doesn't kill you. Which he won't." Jolene responded through the door. Jovani just scoffed grabbing the bouquet of flowers he had bought.

"I essentially broke his daughters heart he's not going to want to ever see me within 10 feet of Samira he'd never ever accept us even trying to date." He emphasized straightening his tie. He felt stupid but he had to go the extra mile after what he did.

"Did you know my grandpa hated my dad and mom together?" She asked. "Because he was white?" Jovani asked.

"Because of a million things actually. But you know... honestly I don't fully blame him and that's saying a lot because I loved my father."

"Really?" Jovani raised a brow as he opened the door. Jolene nodded.

"Yes my grandpa was a dad. As a black man raised in the south all white men wanted with black women was to screw them and treat them like sh*t. Now finding out my mother was with not only with a white guy but a criminal was outrageous. He is a dad he didn't want his daughter to live like that. Unfortunately he was a little too stubborn and lost my mother not only in relationship but she passed so it was too late and he suffered."

Jolene never had any hate for her grandfather. She wasn't as close to him as her grandmother but she understood. Even when Vincent was alive he never badmouthed her grandfather because he understood why he wasn't happy that Iris was with him. He just didn't like him calling Iris out of her name for it.

Jovani nodded. "So you see Jovani if Marcus hates you and Samira loves you it doesn't matter. As long as you try to make peace. Because at the end of the day he doesn't want to lose his relationship with his daughter just because he doesn't like her love interest." She pinches his cheeks before giving him a tap on the bum.

"Mom!" He hissed. "Off you go I will be at the spa with Mage." Jolene snickered.

"Mom." He hesitated. "Yes bambino." She looked up at him. "Do you...do you think she'll forgive me?" He averted eye contact.

"I do." She answered honestly. Samira had a kind spirit. "Do you think...uh...she'd umm want to be with me again?" He felt so pathetic but he had to vocalize his concerns and thoughts that what he was trying to learn.

"Only Samira can answer that Jovani. Now go get her." Jolene kissed his cheek.

Jovani cleared his throat straightening his tie again while nervously making sure the flowers looked nice and neat before knocking on her apartment door. Samira liked Lilies. They were her favorite.

There were feet shuffling but not much noise inside. He lifted a shaky hand again to knock. Please be Samira.

The door cracked open and it was Aziza and Xavier. Both of their mouthes open in shock. They haven't seen Jovani in over a year. "Get the hell off my property." She narrowed her eyes.
