"Devin you know that nigga is not good for you. Do you know who you are? do you not care about your career? because trust the moment the media finds about you and that Good for nothing bum you won't be playing for the lakers or no other team ever again" Davon ranted. I rolled my eyes because I've heard this speech so many times before.
I twirled the liquid in my wine glass. I hate to say it but his speech is getting to me. Davon, my older brother continued cutting up his steak. I chose to get nothing because I knew what this conversation would be about and I wasn't planning on staying for long. But here I am an hour in still listening to him.
"Von I told you that I cant. I love him," I mumbled looking down at the liquid.
"and you can love somebody else.. somebody more respectable. not that bum ass street boy, for all you know he might not be coming home one night he might be 6ft or locked up." The disgust on my brother's faces annoyed me. I know Trevonte and I know that he's very careful he promised me that before we even started this relationship. They've been together for almost a year and so far everything is perfect.
"Davon," I warned. I knew he was about to continue being disrespectful. "Listen Ima speak to you later. I told them I'll be home by 10" I stood up. He looked at me displeased.
"Listen bro I'm just looking out for you. I know you love playing ball and that boy you laying with is going to do nothing but take it from you." He looked so smug saying that. It irritated me.
"I'll speak to you later" I mumbled walking away from the table leaving my wine.
I said goodbye to the girl at the front and made my way outside to my car.
Maybe Devon is right. Maybe I should leave him. Everybody knows that Tre is dangerous. Everything about him is dangerous. I know he deals, but I don't think that should define him. Everybody around me keeps telling me he's not good for my image and because of that, we haven't made our relationship public. Still, they bombard me with complaints about him, and sadly it's getting to me.
I love Trevonte but do I love him more than my dream job? Do I want to sacrifice everything I worked hard for just so I can stay with him?
I pushed the negative thoughts to the back of my head as I got on my ride. I can't be negative right now. On my ride to Tre's house, I contemplated how I would tell him about this conversation with Von. Tre and I never kept any secrets and I wasn't planning on this to be the start.
Beep Beep
I looked at my car screen to see that there he was calling. I sighed before pressing the answer.
"Hey baby" I mumbled as I heard movement on the other side.
"wassup, umm I didn't know what you would eat so I kind of made a bunch of food" I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.
"Baby it's almost 11.." I teased. no, honestly it's too late to eat but I can't say no to him.
"okay and?"
"Watch it. I'm almost there make sure the food is not cold." a
I heard him laugh and that brought a smile to my face.
"Okay. bye, my love" he didn't even let me answer before he ended the call. Now I feel guilty for even listing to what Davon had to say to me about Tre. he doesn't know him. Nobody does.
