She'd rather see me dead than face me.
Chapter 32~I'm not going anywhere.
~Tony’s POV~
It had been a week since everyone went back to their regular routines. Kari and I have been sneaking around her dad trying to see each other. Maintaining our relationship is kind of difficult at times, but I think it is completely worth it. She is so different from other girls that I have dated and I love it. My thinking was interrupted by Jesus talking to me.
“Tony, Kari is here. Could you go help her get something out of the car?”
“Oh sure.” I stopped what I was doing and headed outside to find Kari. I hugged her and gave her a quick kiss before anyone could see.
“Hey.” She said with a smile. “How’s work?”
“Good. I’ve been waiting to hug you all day. How was your day?”
“Good now.”
“Well I would love to keep talking to you but I have to get back to work. Bye.” I said as I kissed her and hugged her again. I turned around and began to walk back inside with the toolbox that Kari had brought for her dad. I saw Javier standing at the door. I got a bit nervous but trusted that he hadn’t seen anything. I walked over to Jesus and gave him the toolbox and resumed what I had been doing before. I looked up to see Javier standing in front of me.
“So you got that toolbox hu?” he asked me.
“Umm yea.”
“Did you also say hi to your girlfriend?” my eyes went wide but I tried to play it off like I didn’t know what he was talking about. “You know what I’m talking about. I know you’re with my niece.” I stayed quiet for a moment. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell. At least it’s better than you guys hating each other. But be good to her ok?”
I sighed in relief and nodded. “I will. I care about her.” he patted my back and went about his own business. After a while, it was time for everyone to go home. Sadly, the rest of the day, I wasn’t able to talk to Kari. I went to sleep hoping that I could see Kari tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~
It was morning and Jesus was loading things onto his car. I was inside setting up some last minute things. Kari came up to me and kissed me. I felt bad that we hadn’t really been able to hang out much.
“How about we hang out later?” I asked.
“How? My dad is always around.” She said as her face got a bit sad.
“I’ll say that I’m going to the store and a few minutes later you can say that you are going for a walk or something and we’ll meet at the park.” She nodded and bit her lip. Jesus walked back in and Kari went upstairs after saying bye to him. We headed to work which was just the usual.
~~~~~~~~
We were done working and were now heading home. I was happy that I was finally going to get to hang out with Kari, but also nervous to see if our plan was going to work. Before I knew it, we were home. We got off the car and headed inside. Jesus took a shower, and I took one after him. We ate the food that Kari had made us. The whole time, I was nervously tapping my foot under the table. I was finally done and offered to wash the dishes. When I was done, I told Jesus that I was going to the store to get some more staples. Luckily he didn’t question me. I closed the door as I took in a deep breath hoping that Kari would be able to get out just as easily. I drove to the park and waited. After about 20 minutes, Kari knocked on the window. I opened the door and got out. I hugged her tightly and she did the same. I took her hand and we walked around. I loved how even though we have been dating for a while, Kari still blushed every time I kissed her or held her hand. After walking for a bit, we laid down on the grass. Kari put her head on my chest and I put my arm around her.
“T-Tony?” she stuttered.
“Yea?”
“Is this bad? Us sneaking around?” she said as she looked up at me with innocent eyes.
“I don’t know. But I feel like it’s worth it. Do you feel like it’s bad?”
“I just feel bad hiding things from my dad. I don’t know how he would react and I don’t want to lose you.”
“I’m not going anywhere, I promise.” I kissed her forehead. I sat up and pulled her onto my lap. She buried her face into my neck and hugged me tightly. It started to get dark and we decided to go home. We both got in the car and decided to tell her dad that I saw her walking and gave her a ride. We got home and kissed before getting out of the car. We walked in the house and each went to our own rooms.
