WHAT IS LOVE ???

Fresh Meat

Amani's P.O.V

"I can't believe I'm really here, hard work really does pay off !!" I screamed jumping up and down. I knew I was attracting attention. But I didn't really care. I made it, I am officially a college girl.

"I know honey I am so proud of you." My mom said while sobbing at the same time.

"Aww mommy don't cry." I said giving her a big bear hug.

"It didn't hit me until now that my little girl is growing up." she said crying even harder.

"Mom, yes I am growing up but I will always and forever be your little girl ok." I said looking into her eyes, she just nodded her head and begin wiping the stream of tears that were once pouring down her face away. I went back to hugging her.

"Nicole stop all that crying, You acting like she is in a whole different state or something. She is only an hour and 20 minutes away from home. So stop being a cry baby." I heard my daddy say while chuckling.My mom shoot him the evil eye. Causing him to throw up his hands in surrender. He then started walking towards my mom. By then me and my mom were no longer hugging.

"Im sorry baby, give daddy a hug." My dad said this as he opened his arms wide for my mom to come in and embrace him. But she didn't do that instead she just playfully punched him in his arm.

"Ouch that hurt, you didn't have to hit me that hard. Felt like I got punched by Mohammed ali him self." He said laughing giving off one of his million dollar smiles. My dad resembled Morris chestnut he had that dark chocolate completion and bold head just like him. My dad is also buff he used to play football in college when he went to morehouse. My mom let out a small chuckle and started smiling.

"See there goes that pretty smile I know and love." My dad wasn't lying my mom had a gorgeous smile. My mom resembled Nia long but just a light skinned version. And my moms hair wasn't short like Nia longs either. In fact my moms hair was curly and stopped at the middle of her back. My dad was still smiling, with his arms wide open waiting for my mom to embrace him.

"You know you want too." My dad said with a cocky smile on his face. My mom finally gave in and my dad gave her the biggest bear hug ever.

"Love you." My dad while kissing my mom on the stop of her head. My mom said it back with no hesitation. Now is that what real love is. What my mom and dad share. If it is hopefully I will get to experience the love my mom and dad have for each other later on in life. My dad stopped hugging my mom and turned to me grabbing my hands

"Now i got all your boxes in your dorm room. If you need anything and i mean anything just call. I'm so proud of you baby girl." My dad said kissing my cheek ass a tear rolled down his. My dads usually not the one to cry. To be honest, I've actually only seen my dad cry twice. First time was when he discovered the bruises on my face and body. My boyfriend in high school put on me. But I don't like to talk about that much it just brings back too many awful memories. Every time I hear the name Raymond my stomach ties into a knot. The first thing I visualize when I hear his name is his fist coming toward my face. But those tears my dad shed that day was out of anger. He was ready to kill Ray... Well you know who Im talking about. My mom had to beg him not to put a bullet in his head. That day seeing my parents like that and just seeing me like that I vowed to never let a man have that much control over my life or my families. And this would have been counted as the second time seeing my dad cry. You can say my dad is the rock of our family. My dad quickly wiped away the tear that was rolling down his left cheek.

"Look at me being a hypocrite." we both laughed while my mom rolled her eyes and said mhmm. My dad let go of my hand and gave me one last hug. Before he walked over to my mom and wrapped one arm around her shoulder. While she leaned her head down on his shoulder.

"We gonna be on are way now. Because we know you have a lot of unpacking to do." He said as they started heading over toward my dads black range rover.

"Oh yeah and you got one ghetto ass room mate. That little ass girl even tried to hit on me." he said with a scrunched up face. I started cracking up laughing. I waved as my dad open the door for my mom to get in. Before she got in she said she loved me and blew me a kiss. Then my dad closed the door and walked to the drivers side and said he loved me to and hopped in the car and they were off. I stood there for a minute just waving even when the car was no longer to be seen. I just couldn't believe for the next four years I wouldn't wake up and see them in the morning. Its official yaul I was on my own now.

I KNOW IT'S SHORT, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE FEELING IT BEFORE I PUT MY ALL INTO IT. IF I GET MORE FEED BACK AND LIKE I WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO WRITE MORE.
