Everything just felt like a movie. The guy who refuses to give up the girl, the girl who finally gives her heart all the while people are against it. Sounds like a movie, but it isn't. Its real life and right now its about 10 o'clock. Its extremely sunny out and its pouring in through her drapes strategically right upon her body making her look even more angelic than usual. I put soft kisses all over her face and I watch her stir around a little bit. Its cute to see her fighting it. I'm gonna get her up, so I rub my cheek against her face a few times cuz I know the stubble will get her and it does. She slowly opens her eyes and look over to me. Her smile is so big that I think my smile is beat.
"Good morning" I whisper over to her.
"Good morning" she whispers back.
"I had a good time last night."
"So did it, it was amazing."
"That it was."
"Can I tell you something and promise not to let it go to your head?"
"Yeah."
"When I first saw you I knew I was going to fall in love with you too."
"What? Why did you act that way with me then?"
"I don't know, I was trying to fight it. I mean it's not the first time I've dated anyone out of my race or whatnot but you were a whole different breed. You were this little suburban kid who I mean I just didn't really think it was possible."
"Anything is possible."
"That I see" she smiled. But then her smile dropped and I knew what was on her mind.
"Look first thing in the morning we're going right to my family and tell them that this is going to happen regardless if they like it or not. I love you, I love you so much and no one's gonna take that from me. No one." There was that smile again, that smile that disappeared, it was back and it was better than ever.
"Ok, so what are we going to do today?"
"I don't know, I was thinking maybe stay in bed all day?" Kristina raised one of her eyebrows. "Now before you start thinking that, I have a hangover from hell."
"I'll get you some Tylenol." Kristina reached over and grabbed my shirt to pull on.
"You don't have to put on a shirt, its not like I haven't seen everything."
"Well I don't walk around nude so zip it."
"Yes ma'am" I laughed. Kristina left out the room for a second to grab me some medicine and water. I watched her when she came in with everything. The shirt stopped just past……well you know. She buttoned it up just far enough where I could still see her breasts which was nice. "I like the way you look in my shirt."
"Why thank you, here." I took the medicine and laid back down. She laid back down with me but I wanted to feel her. I reached over and unbuttoned the shirt she wore.
"What are you doing?"
"I want to feel you, I want to feel your skin on mine." She didn't say anymore, just let me finish. The whole day, really the whole entire day was spent in bed. Once my headache wore away I pulled the television out into her bedroom. We watched some movies, a little tv, made love, some more tv, some more making love…….well a little more and more and more, a movie, making love, then sleep. Tomorrow was going to prove it all.
I looked out to the house one more time. How was this going to go? I had never been this nervous before in my entire life. I took a deep breath to help shake my nerves. That wasn't working. I took another deep breath…….still not working.
"Hey, hey the two of us against the world ok?" she whispered.
"Ok." I got out of the car and walked over to Kristina's side to let her out. I reached for her hand and held onto it tight as we made our way up to the world. "The two of us against the world" I said to myself. I knocked on the door and David opened it. He gave both of this look, like he was disgusted and stepped aside to let us in. When I walked into the living room there was my mother, David, A.J, Howie, Brian and Kvin. What was this some intervention? "What is all of this?"
"You know exactly what this is, your friends have come over to get this ridiculous idea of the two of you being together out of that silly head of yours."
"Excuse me?"
"David and I know all about that little club incident. You want to be in a relationship with some thug?!"
"Thug?!" Kristina cried.
"Yes thug! What proper young lady cracks a man across the head with a beer bottle?!"
"He was trying to take me out of the club against my will!"
"Sure he was!"
"Son, think about this….."
"I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING SON!!"
"NICK!!"
"My father is Bob Carter, not you, don't get it twisted."
"Come again?! Don't get it what? Spending that much time with her has you now speaking broken English?"
"What?!"
"Nick man come on, she's not worth all of this. Look at what she's doing to your mother" A.J. said.
"What?! This is just unbelievable! What I'm doing to his mother?! He wouldn't be in this predicament if you all hadn't bailed out on him."
"Last time I checked no one was talking to you."
"So its ok to talk about me to my face but its not alright for me to respond? Or is it that you just don't like hearing the truth?"
"Listen to her Nick! Just listen to her, she already has an attitude. Is that what you want to deal with? Some eye rolling, neck twisting, hand on hip attitude?!"
"Say what?"
"Look enough! I love Kristina alright? And there's nothing any of you can say to change my mind." My mother looked furious, so did my friends. David, I could careless about so I blocked him out.
"NO!" my mother yelled.
"NO?"
"NO! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS RELATIONSHIP! This….this little bitch--"
"You don't talk to her that way!"
"I will say what I please! This little bitch has your mind warped. She's nothing but a little rotgut whore that's trying no more than to get in your pockets Nick and I will not stand by and watch you fall for this little ghetto nigger!" That was the last straw. All I could see was red. I could feel Kristina's hand tighten in mine. She was obviously upset and was trying her hardest not to let it show but with everyone ganging up on her that wasn't easy.
"I just told you not to talk to her that way" I said through gritted teeth. I was so pissed right now you wouldn't believe. I almost wanted to do bodily harm to my own mother.
"I have had enough of this, just enough. You make your choice now, its either her or your friends and family Nick it won't be both." What? She was going to disown me because of Kristina? How could she do this to me? My own mother? Yeah she made me mad but this is my mother. I loved my mother and now she was ready to disown me because I finally found love. I looked back and forth between her, my friends and Kristina. They were my entire life, Kristina was my future? How could I choose?
"Who's it gonna be Nicholas? Us or her?" A.J. asked.
