My New Step-Dad (Eazy-E)

-7- (Pt.1)

Afterwards, I lotioned my body up and slipped into my undergarments. Then I slipped into my dress, jewelry, and a pair of heels to match. I walked over to the mirror and smoothed my dress out, making sure I looked fine.

I looked up at the clock and figured I would have time to take a couple of pictures after all.
Today was supposed to be a special day. My mother left me hanging, once again...

I had everything I wanted, from the clothes and the shoes. Materialistic things just didn't do it for me. I just wanted to come first to my mother. For once I hoped to be put before her job. I was tired of always being pushed aside as if I wasn't important.

I took a deep breath and blinked away the tears welling up in my eyes.

"I'm not letting her ruin my night, not this time." I shook my head fanning myself. "No tears." I sighed.

I grabbed my clutch and filled it with the stuff I would need. Carefully, I made my way down the stairs. I strolled into living room where Eric was busy watching the television in front of him.

"How do I look?" I asked, taking his attention away from the television in front of him.

I wore a simple pink dress and a pair of diamond heels and silver jewelry to match.

He looked me up and down with low eyes. There was a certain look in his eyes when he did. I couldn't quite read him. I looked at him and smiled, playing coy.

"What?" I asked putting my hands on my hips. "Do I look terrible or something?"

Eazy got up from the couch and walked over to me. I started to panic just a little before he grabbed my hands.

"You look beautiful." He said. "Stop tripping. You ready to go?"

I nodded and he grabbed his keys from the coffee table before shutting off the tv.

Eric and I were making our way out the door when the house phone began ringing. I quickly walked over to it in case Jerome, my date, was calling.

"Hello?" I answered quickly. "I'm sorry I'm running behind. I'm about to-(gco)"

To make things even worse now, my date for the dance called and told me that he was taking his girlfriend to the dance. They had recently gotten back together and of course she wanted him to take her instead of me.

My heart sank and I felt tears well up in my eyes once again.

"Okay." I sighed. "N-no it's fine. I understand."

I hung up the phone and walked over to the couch. I plopped down onto it and sighed.

"Who was that?" Eazy asked in concern, shutting the front door.

At this point I didn't want to go anymore. I was almost an hour late and I had no date. I couldn't show up alone. Everyone I knew had a date to the dance. I'd look like a complete loser in front of everybody.

Eric sat down next to me. "What happened?"

"My date is taking someone else. So now I have no date and I'm gonna be spending tonight alone." Tears started to fall down my cheeks. "I feel like a loser."

He scooted closer to me and wrapped his arm around me. "Stop crying. You're going to mess up this beautiful face of yours."

He looked into my eyes and I looked into his. I sniffed and laid my head onto his chest. He rubbed my back, trying to be comforting. I appreciated it but I still felt like crap.

"You know what." He says standing up from the couch. "There's a lot to do on a Saturday night."

"Eric you don't have to do anything." I stood up. "I'm fine." I said walking past him.

"I'm not taking no for an answer Terry."

"Well I'm saying it." I looked back at him from the steps. "No."

"You can sit inside and feel sorry for yourself or you can hit these streets with me and have some fun." He shrugged.

I looked at him and he looked at me. Eazy began making a funny face and I busted out laughing. I couldn't help but to smile back at him. He was so cute and caring.

"Alright." I began going up the stairs. "Let me change into something more comfortable." I made my way upstairs to my room.

Who knew? Of all people that Eric and I would become so close? The fact that my own mother had abandoned be on such a special occasion was pathetic. Eric was there for me and if it weren't for him, I'd be crying, eating out of a tub of ice cream right now.

I'm gonna try to enjoy tonight. Hopefully I can get my mind off of what a shitty night it's been.
