~~Throwback Scene~~ Before I got into the tub I said "Jenny there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it baby?" She inquired.
I paused for a minute, contemplating on telling her or not. Then I said "I wanted to tell you that. . . ~~~~~~ ~~
". . . .that. . . I love you." I spat out, finally.
I couldn't tell her that I had kissed Tashii, especially after all of this. It would crush her, let alone our relationship. I will tell her later, this is too good to ruin now.
"Aw Alex baby" Jenny said, "I've been waiting for you to finally say that to me for the longest."
"Haha, yeah I know." I said
Once I got into the tub, Jenny cuddled up close to me. We laid there, her back against my stomach with my arms wrapped around her. Jenny tilted her head back upon my shoulder, as she fell asleep, I was left starring at the wall. . . .
When I woke up I got out of the bed & went downstairs to make Jenny some breakfast. When, I returned back to the room I just stood in the doorway & watched her sleep. After about 10 minutes of standing their watching her sleep, she turned over & smiled when she seen me at the door. Her hair was scattered all across her head, & her body was glistening with a thin layer of sweat as she pulled the covers from her naked body.
"Good morning baby, you was sleep for a long time." I said approaching her
"Alex its only 8:30, what do you mean?" She said
"Well I've been up since 6:00, so to me you have been sleep all morning." I said with a laugh.
"Why were you up so early on a Sunday morning?" She asked
"Well I woke up & I thought about waking you up, but I didn't so I watched you sleep for a while & then I went downstairs to make you breakfast. When I was done, I came back up here & watched you sleep until you woke up." I explained.
"Oh I see, well thanks babe for making me breakfast" She said with a laugh
"....but anyways, did you sleep ok last night, you seemed a little distraught last night before I feel asleep?" She continued
"Yeah. . . I slept fine." I stuttered
"Okay if you say so. I'll meet you downstairs when I'm done washing up to eat" Jenny said walking to the bathroom.
I went into the kitchen & waited for Jenny. I looked out the window & noticed a lot of brown & orange leaves on the ground. Fall came quick as hell. Pretty soon we would be having Thanksgiving & Christmas together. I never had a girlfriend for the holidays, I never thought I would see the day. A few minutes later, Jenny came down the stairs. I watched her make her way over to the kitchen. The way she walk is so damn sexy. When she got into the kitchen I heard a knock at the door. It was Jenny's father. I opened the door for him & was greeted by a hard right to the chin. I fell to the floor & he stepped over me & started yelling.
"JENNY!!! What the fuck is your problem? I thought I raised you better than that!" Mr. Lemus yelled.
"Dad, don`t hit her like that." Jenny said trying to help me up.
"Jennifer you are not a lesbian. I did not raise a lesbian. I will not allow that kind of behavior from you while your in my household!!!" The man shouted.
"Well then I'll leave. I wont stay with you anymore." Jenny said crying
"Where do you think you can go? I'm all you got you spoiled ungrateful little brat." He yelled taking Jenny by the arm & dragging her out the door.
I couldn't do anything but just watch & listen. I watched as he struggled to get Jenny in the car. Jenny was crying her eyes out. It was so hard to watch, so I looked away, until Mr. Lemus yelled out at me.
"You better stay away from my daughter, bitch." He shouted
When he drove off Jenny looked up at me with a look I couldn`t describe. Her face just looked like she was in pain. I could feel myself getting teary eyed, so I walked in the house & went up to my room. The incident kept on replaying in my head, & each time it did, I started thinking about what was going on with Jenny & her dad. That man just doesn't know, nor appreciate, the fine daughter he really has. It's a shame. I was starting to get mad, so I got up & did some homework, but not much; it was giving me a headache, so I started to exercise a little bit. Then I went across the street to shoot some hoops to see if that would help. I ran a couple of four on four's with a few of the guys there & then I noticed that one of my teammates was there.
"Yo Alex, come here for a minute" She shouted
"What's going on Nicole?" I said
"Damn what happened to yo face?" She said
"Nothin' I just got into a little disagreement with someone." I said
"Yea I see that, but anyways whats going on between you & Tashii?" Nicole said.
"Uhh I dunno, why she say something?"
"No not much shes just been sayin that shes got a plan to get you back & that you ain`t shit & stuff like that, just making little threats."
"Oh yeah, well whatever she can keep makin threats cuz she aint gonna do shit." I said
After that we shot around until it was dark & then she decided to go in & so did I. When I got home, I climbed into the shower. The hot water felt so good against my body, for I was out there playing hard. I just stood there & let the water beat against my body with great force. I started thinking about the baths I shared with Jenny. I imagined Jenny's body all wet, her soaked hair laying up against her back, rubbing soap all over her body. I started to get really horny, but that soon turned to anger when the image of her dad grabbing Jenny came to mind. I finished up in the shower, climbed in the bed, & went to sleep.
I woke up a little disappointed because it was Monday & my weekend with Jenny was rudely interrupted, but that soon disappeared because I remembered I would be able to see her when I got to school. I washed up, got dress, & went downstairs. I grabbed an apple & a bottle of water from out the kitchen & I was out the front door. When I stepped outside, the bus was pulling up. When I got on the bus I saw Renee.
"Hey Al....Damn! What happened to the side of your face?" Renee said
"Oh, yea I forgot I didnt tell you. Jennys dad chin checked me then dragged Jenny out my house. Now isn`t that just lovely" I sarcastically replied.
"Whoa Alex are you ok? How is Jenny? How did he find out about you to?" Renee asked
"To be honest, I'm still shocked at what happened, as for Jenny I don't know how shes doing cuz I haven't talked to her, & I don't know how he found out about us." I replied
"Well you don't think its over between you & Jenny right?" She asked
"Well....I....I don`t know, I hope not." I said
"Well lemme know if I can do something ok Alex." Renee said.
When we got to school, I went off my own way. I wasn't even going to try & look for Jenny, even though I really wanted to see her. I went into the gym & laid down at half court. I couldn't deal with seeing anyone right now. I got the thinking again & I started to cry. Then I heard someone walk in the gym. I immediately wiped my face & sat up. I looked over to see who it was & it was Jenny. She looked damn good today. She had on her all white one piece swimsuit, you know the kind that you might see Beyonce or J-Lo wear in their videos, a white & baby blue blend jean jacket, with some matching capris on. She was wearing a lot of light blue & white bracelets on each wrist, with some earrings to match & a pair of shades that brought her whole outfit together. She really was looking like a superstar model today.
"Hey Alex, I`ve been looking everywhere for you." Jenny said sitting next to me
"Hey Jenny, you look good today." I said
"Thanx. . . Umm Alex. . . Were you crying?"
"Yeah I was just thinking & I got kind of teary eyed that's all." I said
"Im so sorry about my father, I didnt know he would hit you."
"Oh, its cool, but how did he find out about us?"
"I dont know, but hes really pissed off. I`ve never seen him act this bad before." She said
"Wait so you sayin` that he always talk to you like that."
"Yeah, but dont worry hell calm down."
"Ok. So why you all dressed up today." I said changing the subject
"Oh no reason, I just wanted to look good for my baby. Why is it too much?" She said
"No its perfect" I said leaning in for a kiss
Right when our lips touched, her glasses fell, revealing a black-eye. She broke the kiss & hurried to put them back on. I sat there in shock, then I got angry & said "Who the fuck did that to you?!"
"No one, I was acting stupid & hit myself getting dress this morning. Don't worry about it."
"Naw Jenny, that's not makin' sense. Now tell me who hit. . .Jenny did he hit you?" I said
She grew quiet. I could tell more went on when they got home. I had to play it cool, because if Jenny seen me getting angry I wouldn't get any information
out of her.
"Baby, please tell me what happen." I said
"Ok but Alex you promise you wont get mad & do something stupid?"
"Yeah I promise baby, now what happened?"
"Well, when we got home we started to argue some more, then he started making threats, then he hit me. First he punched me in the arm, then he hit me in the face & I fell. He started kicking me & then he stopped & left. Later that night he came back home & into my room. I could tell he was drunk, because he was stumbling. He said that since I wanted to act grown, he was gonna treat me like I was grown. So he started walking towards the bed, unbuckling his pants, but before he could touch me I kicked him & ran out of the house & went to Rebecca's house."
I just sat there in awe. I was furious. I didn't want to say or do anything, because I knew if I did Jenny wouldn't like it. Finally I did say something.
"Um. . . baby I'm so sorry." I said
"No don't be, I'm fine. I still have you don't I? You keep me going, well you & basketball anyway." She said with a laugh, trying to get me out of this gloomy state I had slipped into.
"I guess." I said in a cheery voice, trying to convince her I was okay.
Finally the bell rung & we both ran to 1st period. An announcement came over the loudspeaker saying that after 4th period there will be an all school assembly in the auditorium. Some guess speaker would be talking about the importance of keeping our community positive & help build recreation centers & shit like that. I just knew it was gonna be shitty, but at least we would get out of the rest of our classes. After 3rd period I had seen Jenny again & noticed that she still had on her glasses. She was talking to Rebecca, so I decided to walk over there, but before I could Kelly grabbed me & pulled me over to where some of his classmates were, & we started talking. Jenny had walked past me with a look of disgust. I wanted to go after her and ask what was wrong, but the bell had rang & everyone ran to their 4th period classes. All through 4th period I wondered why Jenny gave me that look.
After 4th period the whole school was called down to the auditorium, by class. The seniors were all the way in the front, then juniors, & then us sophomores with the freshman behind us. The guess speaker entered & they all gave her a round of applause, except me because I didn't give a fuck right now. She dug right into her speech. The whole thing was boring & I had almost fell asleep until I heard a really loud "FUCK YOU!" echo throughout the auditorium.
"I dont know why you are so mad. You shouldve known she was gonna get bored with you sooner or later." The girl yelled.
"Fuck you bitch, you don't know what the fuck your talking about so just stay the fuck away from her!" Jenny shouted.
Everyone, including the guess speaker, searched to see where it was coming from. Then one girl pointed & said "look in the hallway". I looked out into the hallway & saw Jenny wrestling with some girl I couldn't make out. Jenny's glasses were off, so I'd figured that someone tried to called her out & she retaliated. The security guards ran into the hall to breakup the fight. They dragged Jenny & that other girl up the hall, so I got close enough to see that the other girl was Tashii. I froze up as I saw Jenny glare at me.
A few minutes later, the guess speaker started her speech again, then an announcement roared over the loudspeaker & said,
"Will Alexis Walker please report to the principals office immediatelly!"
I stood up, nervous as hell, & walked off to the principals office. I thought to myself "how could this day get any worse" as I walked towards the door marked "PRINCIPAL". Before I could open the door, I saw Jenny's father charging towards my way shouting, "You better not have been around Jenny!"
Yeah That's the end of this one.
Holla!!!
