🔸Part Two of Texas Rollercoaster.....
Jaysean got a little southern piece of mind when he was shipped off to Texas. He was sent there to get his act together and straighten out. Little did he know he would meet someone who would teach him to love t...

"Leo" my father called. Quickly, I removed my eyes from my phone which was hidden underneath the conference table.
"Anything else you would like to add? Maybe your boyfriend has some ideas we could use since you've been texting him this entire time" he muttered causing everyone to laugh while I glanced down in embarrassment.
"Sorry" I muttered but, he just shook his head disappointed
"Okay. We'll continue this tomorrow everyone. I need fresh and new ideas. Combine people!" he said clapping his hands as everyone got up to leave. I stayed seated already know he wanted to have a little chat.
"Dad I'm sorry. It won't happen again" I spoke once everyone was gone and he closed the door.
"You know I wouldn't have allowed you here if I thought you were just going to play around. I thought you wanted a career, to take over for me" he spoke.
"I do. It was a mistake" I sighed.
"I need you to take this serious Leonardo. This is my legacy, our legacy. You can't be distracted and whether you will admit or not, that boy you consider yourself to be with is a distraction. You're on two different life paths and if you don't allow him to drag you down, you could achieve greatness" my father explained
"Jaysean isn't dragging me down" I argued getting up.
"That boy is going nowhere" he sighed and his words pissed me off.
"You have no right to say that about someone you don't even know. I'm not going to stand here and allow you to talk about someone I'm in a relationship with. Until you actually sit down and have a conversation with Jaysean, you can't decide if he's going anywhere in life or not" I spoke.
"How could he possibly go anywhere, if he spends all his time high off his ass? Your sister told me about how he's always smoking marijuana" he scoffed crossing his arms.
"Leslie can mind her damn business. Just because my boyfriend likes to smoke and talk to trees doesn't mean he won't have a future. Besides, I just allowed you back into my life a couple of months ago. I suggest we don't push it with you trying to control my relationship" I muttered before walking out.
It was bad enough I had to deal with Jay's mom and her constant opinions of our relationship but, now my own damn family wanted to add there two senses. People always had so much advice offer when you never ask for it.
As I was heading to my office, I loosened my tie and pulled out my phone. Jay had gone to eat and now he was back at his apartment. I wish I could have been there with him but, I needed to be here. As much as my dad's unnecessary opinions bothered me, he was still a great businessman and I wanted to be like him in that aspect. Sitting down at my desk, I pulled out my phone.
"Hello," my mom said when she picked up the phone.

"Hi mom" I sighed.
"Hey, baby. How are things going up there?" she asked.
"I don't know. I find myself thinking that this was all a mistake. That maybe I should have just stayed in Texas with you" I spoke.
"What happened? Did your father or Leslie do something?" she questioned.
"They are who they are. I'm worried about my relationship and why I can't tell the man I care about, that I love him" I groaned.
"Well do you?" she hummed.
"I think I do. It's been five months, I should" I muttered.
"Listen if this relationship was new, I would tell you to wait. That you shouldn't rush into things but like you said it's been five months. If you're not feeling the way he does, maybe you should just let him go. Give him the chance to find someone that could really make him happy. Stringing Jaysean along when you know you may never say those words is wrong Leo and I raised you better" my mom explained and I listened to every word.
Did I really care for Jaysean like I thought I did or was I just too scared to let him go? The last thing I wanted was to hurt him but, it seems like I was doing that anyway. The truth was, I didn't know if I would ever be ready to say those words to him. No matter how much I wanted to, there was something holding me back and maybe it was fear.
"I'm scared mom" I breathed leaning my head back to look at the ceiling.
"Of what son?" she questioned.
"I'm scared that once I tell him how I really feel then that's it. I'm left vulnerable while he has all the power he needs to hurt me. Love can be beautiful but, it can all destroy everything around you, leaving you to pick up the pieces" I confessed.
"That is the risk we take but, you must trust him. He's trusted you and now you must do the same. Forget about what if and think about what your willing to risk just to save yourself. You're risking losing a man who has caused you to change for the better, who has been there for when you needed him. Who has put aside all his issues with the past to tell you how much you mean to him" she stated.
"I don't want to lose him. I know that us staying together could mean great things. I just need to find a way to get passed everything" I groaned.
"You better hurry up and come to your senses. People can only wait for so long" she murmured.

I have been working on this chapter for damn near three days. I was wondering if I was ever going to finish it. Anyways, seems like Leo's mama may finally be able to talk some sense into him. Next, we see some good ol' jealousy as Jaysean opens up about Victoria to Leo. Yep, I can't wait.
For those reading White Privilege, an update is coming soon. I'm working on the next chapter.
