It was the next morning and we were sitting in IHOP eating breakfast. Rolling her eyes she looked at me pouting. Carina was sitting across from me and her dad was grillin' her ass about something.

"Papi okay jeez. Stop pressing me. I'm grown remember" She picked with her food. Taking my eyes off her I texted Shawn back. Instead of leaving Tuesday we were leaving Monday just to get this shit over with. I was hella annoyed with the whole situation. I hated unplanned trips especially for shit I ain't wanna be involved in. I had been tryna get in contact with Joe since I found out and he won't answer any of my calls so you kno I was pissed.

Texting one of his main men Riccardo I told him to tell Joe to call me asap. I wasn't going to another hood oblivious to the shit going on around me. That's just askin' for shit to pop off an' my hood or not I can guarantee that if anything did I would be one of the few to survive. I ain't never gon let a nigga take me out.

"I will I promise. Now I'm out eating breakfast so I'll call you later. Bye love you" She hung up the phone.
"Babe you have to meet my parents they're getting on my nerves now"

"What he say"

"He's complaining because it's been some months and he still hasn't seen or had a conversation with you. I'm 22 and their still pressing me about introducing anyone I talk to them like damn can I get a chance to ensure that this is the real deal before y'all meet whoever I'm dating"

"Mhm. Well, when they wanna meet me? I'm down"

"Sometime this week good for you?" Licking my lips I stuck my fork in my food. I hadn't even told her I was supposed to be leaving and I didn't kno when I'll be back.

"Well uh. I didn't tell you but I'm supposed to be to goin' to Chicago tomorrow"

"Tomorrow" She looked at me with her eyebrows furrowed together.
"When will you be back and why are you leaving"

"I don't kno when imma be back but I gotta handle some business out there"

"Tsk whatever" She rolled her damn eyes then grabbed her phone. Snatching it out her hand I locked it and put it on my side of the table.
"I'm not playing with you give me my phone"

"You think I'm playin' with you? If you not gon talk to me you not gettin' ya phone back"

"I have nothing to say to you" She stuck her hand out and I honestly ain't kno why I was dead serious. Chuckling I ate some of my food and shrugged my shoulders.
"Obviously I'm feeling a way about you leaving and then you don't even know when you'll be back"

"I don't wanna leave but I got too Rina" I sighed.
"I promise imma try an' be back as soon as possible"

"That's not the point. You know how I feel about that stuff. It worries me; what if something happens-"

"You keep sayin' that shit something will. Baybeh nothings gon happen to me"

"I'm just scared" She pushed her curls behind her ear. Motioning for her to come to me she got up and slowly slid in my side of the booth. Wrapping my arm around her shoulder I kissed her forehead and she laid on my chest.

"I kno you scared but I promise everything will be okay, ya heard me. If it makes you feel any better Shawn and em coming with me too"
