Haileys pov
"Ready" Isaac asked "yea. Is he there now" "maybe. Unless he went to see someone" "oh okay" "well we're gonna stop a few places is that okay" "yea sure".Almost twenty minutes later we pulled up to a huge brick mansion.
"Where are we" "The Bonettis" he said reaching in the glove compartment "for what" "I'm just picking something up" "be careful" "I'll be fine promise. Stay here" he said before getting out.
I fidgeted with everything I could while waiting for him, the windows, a/c, radio. 15 minutes later he walked out of the house with a bag. He put it in the backseat before getting back inside.
"What's in the bag" I asked almost cautiously "money" "for what" "I did something for him" "something" I repeated "yea" "like" "I didn't kill anyone if that's what you're asking. I told you I haven't killed anyone" "well yea you haven't but would you" "not if I had any other option, that's not how I do things" "so what did you do" "I worked something out for him" "oh okay" I said assuming he wasn't going to go into detail about it. I wasn't really sure if I wanted him to but I took his reluctance as a good hint.
"You can come in here. It's just Natalies house" he said as we parked. I knew Natalie wasn't in the mob either but her house was almost as extravagant."Hello Isaac nice to see you" a woman said opening the door "hi Mrs. Hunger. This is my girlfriend Hailey" "Hi Hailey" "Hello" I said as she smiled.
"Well the girls are upstairs. Fiona please get Dixie" she said as another woman went up the stairs.
"How's everyone" she asked "good, our grandfather just got in last night" "oh some family time, that's nice" "yea and my mother says you should all come for dinner soon" "oh we'd love to but Mr. Hunger is still on his trip. I'll give her a call and discuss it" she said as Dixie and Natalie came downstairs.
"Hey Isaac" Natalie said "hey Natalie. How was school, I didn't get to see you two much" "oh you know good. Not too busy" "I'm sure it wasn't. Come on Dixie" "bye Nat, bye Mrs. Hunger" "bye guys" she said before we left."Was it Henry" Dixie asked when we got in the car "yup. Why did you skip" "no reason just got bored it's Friday anyways" "so what" "so it's fine, dad won't know unless you tell him" "I'm not gonna tell him" "thank you" she said smiling from the backseat.
"Anyways Hailey, this will be the first time you meet Grandfather, you nervous" she asked "uh I'm sort of nervous" "well don't be, he's mostly cool" "yea mostly is the key word" "I'm kidding. He's gonna like you really" "thanks"."Hey guys" his mom said as we got inside "hey mom" "your grandfather and your father are out right now but they'll back soon" "okay we're gonna go upstairs" he said then we went up to his room.
"Hey so what was happening with Ricky at your locker. You seemed stressed" I asked leaning my head against his chest "oh uh it had something to do with Harley" "Harley" "the guy that had me" "oh. What happened" "he was released" "from jail" "from custody, they were gonna charge him for taking me but his father paid off the detectives on the case" "but there's proof. You" "well I'm not gonna testify" "why not" "for a couple of reasons" "which are" "well I'm not a snitch and if I do tell them and he tells them uh something else I could get arrested, it's smarter not to" "did you do something" "not exactly" "Isaac" "just in general, I've uh assaulted a few people" "so you're just not gonna do anything" "yea I guess not" "I get it" "you do" "yea" "okay" he said pulling my leg over his lap and I smiled a little.
"Come in" Isaac said as someone knocked on the door "Sir, your father and grandfather are back" Danielle said "thank you. We're coming" "yes sir" she said turning to leave.
We went downstairs to the living room where his dad, mom, and grandfather were sitting.
"Oh Hailey, hello" his dad said "hi" "Hailey, his girlfriend" his grandfather said.
He was more intimidating than anyone, he wore a gray suit and had a stern look on his face. He looked like he never smiled.
"Yea" "nice to meet you young lady" "you too sir" "so you go to this new school right" "yes sir" "and you're not Italian are you" "no sir sorry" "sorry. For what. My grandson thinks you're good who am I to say otherwise yes" he said and laughed "oh thank you" "yes of course. So were you born here" "I was born in Atlanta, Georgia" "Georgia, how did you end up here" "uh my mom met my step dad here" "oh. When was that" "I was eight" "I'm sorry then. Well how is everything now" "good. My moms really happy" "good everything worked out then" "yes sir".He wasn't as scary as I thought he was gonna be. As the night continued I was less nervous around him and opened up. He was fun, he made jokes and he talked a lot and was very loud. As if I talked too soon the door opened and in came Tony, Isaacs godfather.
"Buonasera famiglia" he said entering the room "Tony, how are you" his grandfather asked "well, how are you" "very good. Rosa wished she could make it to see you but next time" "yes hopefully".
"Tony you're here for dinner right" his mom asked "of course I am Anna" "well then good. Nice to have you".
Dixie came down a little while later and the dinner actually went very well. I loved how they're family was. Since everyone always saw them so serious and ready for business, it was nice seeing them relaxed and joking around and even though Isaac had to explain the Italian it was fun and I felt comfortable.
"I'm gonna take Hailey home. I'll be back" Isaac said "nice meeting you" I said "you too dear".
"I had fun" I said when Isaac got inside "did you really" "yes" "well I'm really glad you met him" "me too".
"Hey how come you never let me drive" I asked "uh well I didn't know you wanted to drive" "well yea" "okay uh well I've never driven with you" "babe I'm not gonna crash your car" I said getting to point for him "no I know but just to be on the safe side why don't we drive your car" "you're scared of me driving your car" I said laughing "it's not that I just really like this car Hails" "I can tell but" I said smiling at him "but I like you a lot more. You can drive" "you're so sweet" I said as he pulled over.
"Hails please" "I'm not gonna crash or kill us calm down" I said before pulling onto the road again.
He was more attentive when I was driving than when he was driving, it was cute and made me laugh.
"Why are you laughing" he asked "because you're cute" "yea thanks" he said kissing my cheek quickly."You gonna come in" I asked "yea sure".
"Hey guys how was dinner" mom asked when we got inside. Her Derrick and the boys were in the living room. "Good. How was your night" "good".The boys bothered Isaac for a little bit before he left.
"Honey can we talk to you really quickly" mom said "yea what's up" "so I got a call from Judge Percy" "yea okay" "your dad spoke to him about a trial" "a trial for what" "visitation" "he can't do that right" "uh he can" "so what now" "we wait until they set a date" "we have to do this" I asked "the only other option would be to tell them he violated his parole and I know you don't want to do that so we'll do everything else we can to limit it if it does go his way" "his way. So I'll have to see him" "sweetheart" "this is my fault. I should have never went to see him" "no honey you were just doing what you thought was best. I'ts gonna be okay" "no it's not. Mom I- he-" "what honey" "uh nothing. I just want to go to sleep. I'm tired okay so goodnight guys" I said kissing her and Derrick on the cheek and going upstairs. I almost said it, that he touched me when I was younger. I want to tell her but I really don't want to talk about it especially not now.
When I lost my virginity to Kyle I was almost nervous but I knew it'd be different so I let him do it anyways. At first when it hurt I thought about stopping him because I thought it all had to do with being hurt but he assured me he wasn't trying to hurt me. Afterwards it felt better and he made sure I was okay. It was different than someone just rubbing me while I cried and he was really sensitive about it. He never really asked why I was so scared or anxious to do it but maybe he just assumed because it was my first time.
