[Flashback: (hears banging and yelling from the next room) “Mommy?” “Bree go sit down and play in your room okay” she said, she was in tears and had scars on her face and neck “Mommy what happened?” I asked pointing at her scars “Bree you heard your mom now get the hell out!” he yelled while grabbing me by the arm “Don’t touch my daughter!” my mom yelled at him, he let me go and looked at her “don’t you ever raise your voice like that to me Ever again, I’ll deal with you later” he left out the door and my mom grabbed me and held me while in tears.. : Flashback over]
I woke up and my heart was racing. I remember that day like it was yesterday, I was only 4 and that was the first time I witnessed my mother’s abuse. That day was followed with many more bruises and trips to the hospital. I hate to say it but sometimes I think her situation also affected me and the relationships I got myself into, if my dad was in the picture things would have been different probably much better for me
Today was my “date” with Chris and after yesterday I’m becoming more comfortable with him, speaking of yesterday I still haven’t told dyl about it I hope she’s down to come over this morning
“Hey love what are you doing?”
“I was just about to leave the house why wassup?
“Stop by my place I want to talk to you”
“I don’t know bree I wasn’t going out that way”
“I’ll make you breakfast”
“You know food is my weakness I’ll be there in a bit”
I got out of bed and washed up then went into the kitchen to cook, I’m in the mood for pancakes, bacon, and eggs.
I pulled up to Bree’s house and I wasn’t looking forward to hearing about her and Chris, but I knew she was going to tell me anyways, I went up to her door and knocked
“Omg I wasn’t expecting to see you” she said
“Bitch shut up and let me in lol”
“Sit down so I could make you your plate”
“Oh shit your making me a plate somebody tryna get wifed”
“Haha anyways I gotta tell you about yesterday”
“I’m listening” I said even though I rather not be
“Okay so I went over there and his house is amazing, he did all the artwork on the outside and inside, he’s so talented. I went in and he brought me my phone and we just talked for hours he’s so down to earth and a really sweet guy”
The whole time Bree was talking I couldn’t help but think that should have been me and not her with Chris
“Yeah we’re going out later today”
“Ooh I see the start of a new relationship”
“What if Chris wanted to be more?”
“Well…I don’t know what will happen I’m not emotionally ready for that yet but he would make a great boyfriend”
We sat and talked for a little while longer then she told me she had to get ready for her “date” with Chris, I didn’t want to stay around and watch her get ready to leave so I left. The thought of Chris and Bree going out again pissed me off I can’t imagine what I would do if they ended up dating
I decided to do something special for bree today I thought getting ice cream would be too high school so I set up something more intimate I hope she loves it cause I really like her and I want to show her that she deserves nothing but the best from a man
Change of plans I’m going to pick you up from your place for our special date wear something nice ;)
I got ready for the date and loaded up the car, my boys are getting everything set up, now all I need to do is pick up Bree.
I got to her house and walked up to the door, she opened it and I was left in amazement, she was wearing a fitted short white dress that showed all her curves and some nice heels, man she was looking good the things I would do to her
“I see you like my outfit” she laughed
We walked to car and I opened her door, this date is going to be good I can feel it…
