Ezee POV
Monica froze while Tevin continued to blurt out offensive slurs. I could see in her face that she was embarrassed. No matter how ready she thinks she is, this isn't the way it should happen.
I let go of Monica's hand and walked up to Tevin with a clenched jaw.
"What's your problem foo?" I lightly pushed him so he could shut up.
"No what's yours. It's bad enough you're gay but now you trying to turn out all the other pretty ass girls. Save some for us nigga"
"You're so stupid Tevin. No other nigga around here has problems picking up females. Maybe it's a YOU problem"
"Nah it's people like you turning them out"
The crowd started to form around us and I could see this going the wrong way fairly soon.
"Get out Tev. Go home and get yourself together"
"Really E? You kicking me out, it's like that now?"
"Yea nigga you being disrespectful. Come back when you get some damn sense"
"Be like that then", Tevin walked away, leaving the backyard.
"Okay, nothing to see here go back to partying. Nay turn the music back up on my phone please".
The crowd dismantled and the party proceeded. The rest of the night went well, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
I went to sit by the firepit as the party started to wind down. I couldn't believe Tevin would act like that and embarrass me and Monica like that.
After a while of me sitting and overthinking the entire situation Monica came and stood in front of me.
"Sorry Monica, I didn't know all that would happen", I said without looking up at my lover.
"You good. And you know I hate when you call me Monica babe"
"Babe? Oh, you serious serious huh?"
"Yea. I didn't change my mind. I wanna be with you in a real way. At least at school and when we are with around our friends", she came and sat on my lap, placing a kiss on my left cheek.
I started to think about how this could go, Monica, coming out to her family. I was lucky when I came out, my dad is a very open-minded man and he was raised by a very open-minded woman. Coming out was one of the scariest moments of my life ...
*flashback*
"Monica, baby I'm about to leave soon. Come out here"
I made my way out of my room and into the living room where my grandmother was
"Yes ma'am?"
"Just wanted to let you know your food is in the oven and I left some money for you in my top drawer", she winked.
I thanked my granny and made my way into the kitchen where my food was. I sat at the table and took out my phone to text Monica to come over.
"Zia, you coming to church with ya grandmother today?"
"Not today granny"
"Mmhmmm. Is my sweet Monica coming over today?"
"Yes, I'm texting her right now to come over."
"Okay let me go grab my purse then I'll be out of here"
My grandma left at the same time Sunday to go to the church and then to bingo with her old lady friend.
