Street Love (An Interracial Love Story)

Chapter 20

Tony’s POV

I wake up with my arms wrapped around someone. It takes me a second to remember that I fell asleep holding Evie. I smile then breathe into her hair.

Everything about her is perfect. Her smile. Her attitude. Her—

"¡Buenos días mi amor!" My mom comes charging into my room without knocking… As usual.

"Ma!" I turn to face her and see a stunned look on her face. Evie yawns and pushes her body into mine.

I keep holding her and look at my mom.

"Get in the living room. Now!" Her whisper is harsh and I know not to mess with her. I gently untangle my arms from Evie’s. I try to pull the blanket up to cover her naked legs but my mom sees her and just glares at me even harder. This is gonna be hard to explain.

As I’m walking past my mom out of my room, she grabs a hold of my ear and pinches it really hard. I flinch but don’t make any noises so I don’t wake Evie up.

"What the hell do you think you’re doing?!?" My mom lets loose as soon as we’re in the living room. "You think you can just sneak a girl in here and have sex with her in the middle of the night?? Think again mijo! This is my house and my rules.

"What if she gets pregnant, eh? Then what? You’re not gonna be some teenage father.

"Did you even think about Emily in all this? You think she’s gonna have any respect for you after finding out you can just bring girls home whenever you want?"

She’s so upset and everything she’s saying doesn’t even make sense. I’m still wiping the sleep out of my eyes so I don’t even bother to fight back.

"I like Evie." My mom is starting to calm down. "I really do Tony. But I’d rather you not have sex with her here. Are you guys using protection?"

"You have it all wrong Ma," I finally say.

She looks at me like I’m crazy so I continue.

"We didn’t sleep together. I had a really bad panic attack and she came over because Emi called her. She’s the only one who can calm me down when I get them. And I’m getting them a lot more because I stopped drinking. So yeah. I asked her to spend the night. But that’s all we did. I just didn’t want to be alone and scare Emi. And you weren’t here."

My moms face softens a little. “You still get those mijo? I thought they stopped.”

"They did. But they’re back now. It’s not a big deal. We can talk about it later. Anyway, as much as I love explaining my life to you, I gotta go wake Evie up for school."

I go down the hallway and find Evie sprawled out across my bed. Her butt isn’t covered by my blanket anymore and my tshirt has slid up her back so I can see her polka dot underwear. She looks so sexy right now, I don’t even wanna wake her up.

I admire her body for a few more moments before resting my hand on her back.

"You awake yet?" I mumble in her ear.

"Mm. Iblockze oprendio castina

I laugh. “What the hell are you saying mamas.”

"Nog hiyas de losenbreg.

I pull the blanket away from her and her eyes slowly open.

"What?" She asks.

"We have school in an hour."

She rubs her eyes and stretches. This is all so sexy to watch.

"Do you want breakfast?"

She gets off the bed and picks up her clothes from last night. “Yeah.” She yawns and I can still barely understand her. “Weggs or acon. Angles oi too.”

I kiss her on the cheek. “I have no idea what you just said but does an omelette and potatoes sound good?”

She nods and I go start breakfast.

20 minutes later, Evie is at the kitchen table with her teeth brushed and hair washed.

I set a plate in front of her and make one for Emily even though she’s still getting ready. We both start eating and it’s pretty good.

"Out of curiosity," I ask between bites. "Who’s toothbrush did you use?"

Evie smiles sideways. “Yours. I figure we kiss all the time, so you wouldn’t mind me using it.”

For some reason, I can’t get over how sexy her morning routine is. I just smile back at her and keep eating.

Emily comes out a few minutes later with a huge smile on her face.

"I didn’t know you were here Evie!" She gives Evie a hug then sits on her chair for breakfast. "Did you spend the night?"

"Er. Yeah." Evie answers nervously.

"That’s cool." Emi drinks some milk. "Maybe next time you can sleep in my room instead of Tony’s. I have barbies and mi mamá says girls and boys aren’t supposed to sleep together unless they’re having a baby.” Emily pauses then looks at me with wide-eyes. “Are you guys having a baby?!?”

Evie chokes on her food and I do too.

"No Emily." Evette pats her on the head. "And not anytime soon."

"But eventually. Right?" Emily smiles at Evie with wide eyes.

"Maybe." We finish breakfast before taking Emily to school.
