Unthinkable |An Interracial Love Short Story] (Unedited)

◆Risk It All◆

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

Seeing Sal tonight was bitter sweet. I just wanted to feel his arms around me and have him hold me all night, but seeing that smile will hold me over til the next time we meet. When I got in I was surprised to see my mom still awake. I headed to my room and got in bed, I was too tired to change or do anything else for that matter. My mom came in and laid beside me, she rubbed my head like she use to when I was a kid. She always knew how to relax me, my eyes were getting heavy and I was ready to pass out.

"Sada, what's going on with you?"

"What do you mean by that ma?"

"Nothing, you just seem a little different." She stopped rubbing my head but I was to tired to move.

"I'm not different mama, everything is okay."

"Alright beautiful get some rest." With that she left and within minutes I was drifting off.

Victoria ran in my room all smiles. She grabbed my hand and led me to the dining room where the table was all set beautifully. She pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. I couldn't help but smile at my baby, she was a split image of her father.

"Dinner will be right out."

"Thank you darling." I said to her as she took her seat next to mine. What was going on, she seemed so excited but I had no clue as to why.

"Papa made his special sauce." She exclaimed with glee.

"Oh really, are we celebrating something? " She shook her head yes. What was he planning and how did he get my little angel to keep quiet?  Sal walked in with a pot and placed it on the table. He came over to me and kissed me oh so gently, I smiled into it and he pulled away. He had a look in his eyes that I never seen before but I couldn't read it.......

I woke up with a smile then realized it was all a dream. It was 9:30 am so I knew everyone was gone already. I slowly got out of bed and went into my bathroom. My mind was stuck on my dream, all this talk about kids and having a life together was getting to me. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before getting into the shower. The water felt so good hitting my bare skin, I felt so relaxed and for some reason I felt good about the day even though I had no idea what I was going to do. Once I was all washed up and the water started to turn cold I got out. My phone started ringing, I quickly wrapped my towel around my body and went into my room to get it. Sal's picture was on the screen and I smiled then answered.

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning baby, you miss me already?" I asked with a smile.

"Of course I miss you. Do you not know your all that is ever on my mind, which is why I have plans for us today."

"What do you mean you have plans for us today? Sal you know........"

"Sada just listen to me, I don't want to hear all that right now. Go look in your glove box, there's a manilla envelope with your name on it. Read it then call me back."

"Salvatore, what are you doing?" As much as I wanted to spend time with him I didn't want him to get caught out. This was out of our norm, very unusual for Sal to pull something unexpected.
