Tough Love Part 18; Part 3
Thank you so much everyone for voting for the last part! I donâ??t know what it is about posting late at nite, but it seemed to have worked :-). Also, when I posted the last part, I had forgotten to add the title at first. I KNEW that would happen someday! So I hurried and added a title FIRST, then reposted part 18 part 2. Anyways, enjoy the next part! ################################################################ Chapter 18 Part 3 Getting Some Common Ground Letting go of our hug was awkward. Weâ??re not little kids anymore, so we know an awkward moment when it comes. Plus we just went through this last Friday! Thinking about that, I let my head fall in despair. I felt there was no hope in being happy now; then wanting to do some bodily harm two days later! Upon meeting Michael, I had no feeling he was rude or arrogant. I felt if I needed it, heâ??d give me his last buck. He wouldnâ??t care what I needed it for. Iâ??m not sure if he would even ask me why I needed it. Michael lifted brushed my hair back some. â??Whatâ??s with the long face?â? I only shook my head. I didnâ??t want to tell him I was thinking. If I did, I knew he would fuss at me. â??Thinking again?â? He asked. â??I donâ??t want no one to step on someone toes. I donâ??t want you to start thinking Iâ??m a brat, Michael. I may be different and quiet, but I am likeable.â? â??I know that.â? â??How?â? â??I just know. You donâ??t have to hide stuff from me. Even if itâ??s awkward for me, tell me if you feel you need to. I donâ??t mind, and I donâ??t care. I just donâ??t want you to do something stupid because someone knows how vulnerable you can be. Donâ??t let things get that far.â? â??Michael, my life isnâ??t THAT bad. Iâ??m not in a gang, so calm down.â? â??I just want you to know you have somebody.â? â??Okay, thanks. And you got me if you need a fake girlfriend to sit on your lap.â? I said, burning a little. I couldnâ??t believe I said that, but itâ??s true. He started laughing again. â??Clarence wouldnâ??t like that. He would kick off in my you-know-what. Remember last Friday?â? â??Oh yeah, I do. If he felt like that way, why would he let you throw me a party?â? â??Because it was already planned before that.â? He walked over to his side of the car. â??What?â? I asked, stunned though I really shouldnâ??t be. â??Iâ??ll tell you.â? Then he threw his car keys at me. I really wasnâ??t expecting that at all. So of course the keys hit my ring finger tip in an unflattering way. â??Ouuh.â? I told him. Then I picked the keys up. I looked at him. â??Drive.â? â??Oh, no. I donâ??t wanna. Iâ??m still mesmerized by the jacket. I donâ??t want any distractions.â? â??Then hand me the jacket. I want you to drive.â? â??But I donâ??t wanna drive.â? â??Why?â? â??I just donâ??t want to, Michael.â? I looked at him in a firm way. â??Respect my wishes please.â? â??Okay.â? He said, holding his arms up in a surrendering gesture. â??I wonâ??t push you, Lyric.â? Then he cupped his hands so he could catch the car keys. I threw it back to him.â? A few times Michael looked like he wanted to ask me WHY I wouldnâ??t drive. I guess what I told him kept running through his mind because he didnâ??t ask me. â??Hey, I know something you love.â? â??What is it?â? I asked him. â??Subway sandwiches.â? â??I surely do. How?â? â??Did I know?â? â??Yeah.â? â??Donâ??t worry about it.â? I sat there for a minute and thought about it. â??Hey, I remember telling Janet that. Did you ask your sister what we talk about?â? I asked, raising my eyebrow, and grinning a little. â??Pssh.â? He said and kept driving. And guess where we arrived at? A local Subway! â??What are you trying to do? Get me fat?â? I asked him once he set the car in park. â??Michael, I like other stuff other than food.â? â??Iâ??m in a taste for some. Plus I was afraid I wouldnâ??t be able to get through you.â? â??So, you was gonna bribe me?â? â??That was the plan.â? He said, smiling because he was obviously embarrassed. â??You donâ??t have to impress me by what you gotâ??i.e. material things, Michael. Give me what you give in your songs.â? â??Whatâ??s that?â? I almost answered him, until, thankfully, I thought about it. Insecurely, I looked over at him. He looked at me, and at the same time, both of us swallowed. I opened the door. â??Wait.â? I heard him say. I looked back. Thatâ??s when he was finally up. â??I forgot to unbuckle my seatbelt. â??Oh.â? I said laughing. â??You might wanna take your jacket off. Bringing more attention to us isnâ??t good.â? â??True. But I wanna wear it in there. What if itâ??s cold?â? He looked at me for another two seconds. Then he looked down. â??Itâ??s up to you.â? Then he bent down into the car again. When he came back up to hand me a cap, I couldnâ??t help but ask him this, â??Donâ??t you just hate having to do this all the time?â? I looked at the cap then and tossed it back at him, shaking my head. He bent down again and handed me some shades. â??Theyâ??ll see my face, though. I canâ??t risk it, Lyric.â? â??But you want Subway bad enough to risk it.â? â??True, butâ? then he groaned, â??Iâ??m not trying to be put down by that. I have the right to go anywhere I please.â? â??People donâ??t let you, though.â? â??Itâ??s a part of the job.â? â??I guess.â? I mumbled. â??If you were in my shoes, you would understand.â? â??I donâ??t wanna let you down, though.â? He said after he saw my face fall a little. â??How do you do it, then?â? â??Luckily some people know me, so itâ??s not always a surprise.â? â??Letâ??s hope for that now.â? â??Yeah, letâ??s.â? He said. As we were walking towards the door, Michael asked me to do a favor for him. â??Sure, Iâ??ll do it.â? I said, laughing a little. He handed me a twenty. â??Get whatever you want. Just make sure to have enough left for me.â? â??Of course.â? I said, handing him the shades also. ################################################################ Did you guys like?
