history 2 // riley & huey

i follow behind huey after riley announces dinner , the smell of different kinds of foods immediately hit my face as i entered the dining room , the smell excited me and i just had to see what he cooked

i looked at the table , the only thing that comes to mind to describe it is thanksgiving at a black families house

"damn grandad , why'd you cook so much." huey spoke standing on he side of me

"because this is a very special occasion!" he spoke joyfully , he was really happy about this whole thing , it made me happy knowing i had something to do with it

"all we're doing is meeting riley's girl..?"

"and when's the last time that happened?" he looked at huey quizzingly

"uh.. never actually."

"exactly! now take a seat yall."

i stand by the table waiting for riley to sit so i could sit next to him
"excuse me.." huey grabbed my hips as he scoots pass me

the feeling of his hands on my hips..?

that's when it hit me..

mid summer one year ago
the sound of the loud music began to hurt my ears at this point , i was over it
i've been drinking and knowing me staying any longer would mean an accidental sleepover

i look around at the people drunkenly grinding upon eachother

i sigh and stand up from my seat almost falling over in the process

i gain my posture and tried walking only to trip on my own foot falling onto someone

they grabbed my arms helping me up , their grip on my arm almost leaving a mark at how strong they were

"shit i'm sorry , i can barely walk.." i mumbled , i look up to see an afro headed man he was quite attractive

"it's fine , i'm drunk myself" he joked causing me to chuckle

"are you going to be safe by yourself..?"

—

i cringed to myself remembering the rest of the night and how easily i gave myself up to him , that night i didn't love myself and needed someone .. anyone i was desperate

surprising riley helped a lot, he taught me so much including how to love myself
he constantly told me how amazing he thought i was until i believed it myself

i slowly turn around to huey causing him to stop in his tracks .. he remembers too

i try my best to push the thought aside and enjoy the rest of the night

"come here baby." riley spoke to me
signaling for me to sit next to him which i did

"you alright?" he whispered, i sat down and he placed his warm hand on my thigh

i nod , looking for any ways to change the subject "uh mr. freeman the food looks great." i complimented

he smiles "thank you , but call me granddad" he says

i nod before taking a spoonful of the macaroni having a string of cheese follow behind it, it was honestly amazing

"so .. y/n how does riley treat you?" granddad asks sending a slight glare his way

"amazing , i really love him.." i admitted causing granddad to nod

i look over at riley and he couldn't help but smile , i chuckle and place a kiss on his cheek
