I woke up to the delicious smell of breakfast. Grits, eggs, pancakes and sausages .

Making my way downstairs, I could hear Thurston's humming. His back was facing me while doing dishes. I decided to watch the show.

"If I had one wish mm mm mm mm mm..."

He wasn't the best singer but it was cute.

"If I had one wish you'd be my boo,"

"Promise to love you, trust me I trust you." I sang along    

He stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. I tried to hide my amusement .

"We're never gonna mention this to anyone ." His cheeks turning rosey

I smiled, nodding my head and took a seat at the table. He walked over with a plate of food and placed it in front of me.

"So whats the meaning of this nice gesture.?" I took a spoonful of grits

"Don't act like that." He smirked

"Act like I'm on to something.?"

"Let's just let White Boy have this one." He plead

I continued to eat. The grits were amazing, the eggs were fantastic and the pancakes were out of this world.

"You should try not to inhale your food." He snickered

"Shut up." I laughed with a full mouth

I watched Thurston pull out his phone and read something intensely . His eyebrows knitted together as rapidly began to text.

I took a sip of some orange juice and waited for him to say something. "No school for you today." He announced

Thurston didn't even look up at me. His mood had just abruptly changed in a matter of minutes and the fact that I wasn't going to school because of it just made it more weird .

"Why.?" I questioned

Again his eyebrows knitted together followed by his thumbs moving against his phone rapidly.

I thought about asking him again, but before I could he had already got up from the table.

I watched him walk into the living room and changed the channel from MTV to Fox Five News . I tried to listen in on what was going but couldn't hear the television from the kitchen. So I got up and sat in the living room with him.

Thurston was glued to the t.v.  He didn't even acknowledge the fact that I walked into the living room.

                                     
" Sources say that the two have been dating for a while now and are dismissing the fact that their parents are soon to be wed. They are alledgedly planning on running away to the Phillipines to live with each other and pursue a happy life." Said a news reporter

"Modern day Romeo and Juliet."

"That's what it sounds like Mike."

"Well, in earlier news today, rapper Bobby Shmurda was arrested in New York City last night, on drugs and guns charges."

The television clicked off.

I looked back at Thurston who had his hands buried into his hands. I fiddled with my fingers, not knowing what to say.

"The Phillipines ?" He laughed, unamused "They're calling us the modern day Romeo and Juliet."

"Yeah." He sat back

"..S-so what now ?"

"We wait." He sighed

"On ?"

"Your mom and my dad to come home, so that they tell us what to what options we have."

"What if one of the options is that we can't be together." My eyes watered

"That's not an option, so don't even worry about that." He sternly said

"But Thurston-"

"Kym, I have worked to hard to get you. I'm not giving up now."

My mouth pulled to the aide for a second. He sighed and walked over to me. "I promise you. I have us." He kissed my forehead

Just when I thought the rain was letting up .
