Dark Chocolate: A BWWM Story

Chapter 12: Fairytales

~Amirah's POV~
The feeling of discomfort and udder shock filled my veins from baba's question, "where did you two meet at?"

I was so scared, the linger feeling of being caught was now on my mind. 'Oh god it's over, you have to tell them the truth now Amirah. It's over, throw in the towel and pack it up.'

"We met-."

"We met at college." Giovanni strong confident voice said with a smile. "I happened to notice her carrying all her books for marine biology, biology text books, statics, and black women's literature work. It's seemed unreasonable for such a wonderful women like her, to be carrying all that stuff alone. So, I stepped in and helped her carry them, I know it might seems  funny but, but I felt a connection when we first met. So I wanted to see if this connection is more than what it seems." He says with a smile and holds my hand.

My dad face turned from 'caught you to,' 'how did he do that?' I smiled and felt a large amount of relief was over me.

"Well we should be leaving, bye momma, baba, and uglies." I said with a smile as my brothers did fake gasps.

"I'm not ugly, my momma told me I'm not." Sekhani said with pride.

"Boy, I never said that." My mom said with out a stutter, while Sekhani gasped and held his hand to his chest, we chuckled at him.

We walked out of the house and out to his car, which was an all black corvette with a small streak of white and gray on the sides.

He opened the door for me as I sat down, thanking him in the process. Closing the door for me, he went around the other side. He started to car as he pulled out my parent driveway.

"So what's tonight's plans oh big and bad mafia leader?" I said with a smirk.

"First of all, I'm not big or bad, secondly it's a surprise baby." He said with a prideful grin, "by the way don't smirk like that, you might end up in my backseat, ass up. "

I felt my core bounce at his threat, woah come down their miss panther. We don't know him like that to be feeling like that. I told myself.

I stayed silent and looked away, "how have you been since everything?" He asked as I looked back at him.

What do I tell him? I ran away and misses him, might be falling for him? Or I have so much trauma that I can't cope to say I love him?

"I've been good, just been trying to get through college. How have you been?" I ask him hoping he'd not see through my lies.

"To be honest, I've haven't been good." Giovanni said with dismay, his eyes still looking at the road. "I haven't been able to sleep, eat, or really think." He continued while still looking at the somewhat brighten street, illuminated by the street lights lined horizontally from one another.

"Why?" As I turned my head to him.

"Because I didn't have you by my side."
Was all he said as I felt my heart thump, I looked away, stop Amirah we went over this after him.

I couldn't say a thing, silence was all that stayed. "I'm sorry." Was all I murmured.

"Please, don't apologize. You never needed to apologize, it was my fault I drove you away, it was my fault that you were hurt, and it was my fault that you ran away. So never apologize for something I did wrong, the best gift I have is you with me." He said with passion, as I felt better to know that we weren't drifting.

After a couple of minutes we came to a restaurant, the inside was beautiful, the glorious lights that hung from the ceiling, the lavish dinning are.
