Hidden Behind My Pride

Dominique

After finally getting something to eat, Daniel & I cuddled in bed. That's all I pretty much want for the next few days while we're here.....to chill & cuddle.

"Do you think we'd ever last?" I asked him, petting Cookie as she slept in his lap.

"You don't think we would?" He looked down at me, I looked up.

"I'm just asking...." I shrugged. "Of course I do, but I wanna know if you do."

"Ehh.." He shrugged. I glared up at him. He chuckled. "You know I'm playin babe.."

"Mhmm..." I hummed. "We'll see."

"If you would've asked me bout four months ago, I would've said HELLLL NO..." I giggled. "But now...?" He shrugged. "There's a possibility." I smiled.

"Is there now?"

"Yeah.." He leaned down to kiss me.

As the days when by, we were finally going home. I honestly don't wanna go. I'd rather be along with Daniel, but we have school tomorrow so we have to go. Daniel completes me. I can't stand not being with him. He's too good for me, yet he's still willing to love me no matter my flaws. And I love him for that cause I know I can be impossible to deal with.

"YOU WHAT!?" I yelled through the phone. She giggled nervously.

"Yeah, we had sex..."

"ZENDAYA!!" I yelled. "You don't even know him!"

"I know, I know....the moment was right." She sighed. "After you guys left, we dance and stuff. And after it was over, we all rented out a suite and it just happened." She broke down. "And he was my first!" I sighed & looked over at Daniel, who was driving.

"I don't know much about Trevor, but he seems really sweet." I told her. "Just try and make it work with him. He's a friend of Daniel's so he can't be that bad...." Daniel chuckled.

"If that's what you wanna think.." He said. I hit him in his chest as Zendaya continued to cry in my ear.

"It's gonna be okay, I promise. Just go with it. You won't regret it in the end."

"Okay.." She sniffled, then hung up. I looked over at Daniel.

"Why you lookin at me?" He said, pulling up to a red light. I was silent. He looked over at me. "He like her anyway so it ain't all bad.." He shrugged, placing his right hand on my inner thigh.

"Where're we going?" I asked as I looked in the backseat to check on Cookie, ignoring his statement. He sighed.

"You'll see..." Then the light turned green.

Driving on this long highway, I realized that this was the way to his house. I stayed to panic. The only time I've ever been to his house was when his parents weren't home. I hope they're not there cause I'm not ready to meet them yet.

"SHIT!" I whispered to myself as he pulled into the driveway. His parents are home. "Daniel, why're we here?" I spat as he turned off his car.

"I figured since your parents wanted to meet me eventually, I'd introduce you to my parents and when we're done here we'll go to your place."

"I'm not ready for this." I sighed. "What if they don't like me?" I looked at him. He smiled.

"Impossible." He kissed me. "If my little sister likes you, you're good." I kinda smiled.

"Okay.."

Daniel

"I'm home!" I yelled as we walked in the house.

"In the kitchen..." My mom yelled back. I looked over at Dominique as she clenched to Cookie.

"C'mon babe, they don't bite." I told her, then paused. "No punt intended.." She rolled her eyes & we walked into the kitchen.

"Well hello there?" My mom smiled as we walked in. "Who is this beautiful young lady?" I chuckled.

"This my girl, Dominique." I told her. "Dee, this my moms..."

"Hey.." She said, shyly. My mom smiled.

"Don't be shy sweetie.." Ma laughed, giving her a hug. "Cute puppy..." She started to pet her.

————————

"Daddy, stop it.." Dominique said. "Please be nice to him."

"Hmm.." He scuffed.

"MOMMY!" She whined.

"I'm watching him baby.." She said. Dominique got up & walked upstairs.

"You dating my daughter huh?" He asked.

"Ye--"

"You the lil nigga that I saw in that car the other day?" He said, cutting me off. "You the nigga my daughter investing all her time and energy into?"

"It's actually the other way around..." I cleared my throat as he scowled me. Then I heard the front door open.

"Aye ma!" I heard Yazz yelled, then walked in. "Aye wassup nigga!" He dapped me, then looked at his dad. "Loosen up man.." He chuckled. "Dig is cool peoples."

"I'll be the judge of that..."

"What you come in here yelling for boy?" Mrs. Taylor asked.

"Huh?" He looked over at her as Dominique walked downstairs. "OH!" He laughed. "London's moms said call her when you get the chance." She nodded & left out the living room.

"Was he being nice while I was gone?" Dominique asked, sitting in my lap. I laughed & shrugged.

"He iight..." Her dad spat. "Hurt my daughter's heart and I'm coming for yo ass!"

"DADDY!" Dominique snapped. I chuckled.

"Yessir.."
