"Are you sure you want to change your flight. It's just dinner it's nothing important?" I said to Quincy as I put on my jean jacket.

"They keep bringing up dinner so Imma go. It's not a big deal I can just take a later flight." Quincy said looking at his phone. "There's a flight at midnight. That sound cool?"

"Yeah, we can leave my parents house at like 10 and take you to the airport. Is there a cancellation fee?" I grabbed my lipgloss off my dresser and stuffed it into my purse.

"Yeah it's like $200"

"Damn they finessing. How much is the flight?"

"$159"

"K I'll send the $360 to your zelle. It's your phone number?" I replied grabbing my phone.

"Nah it's cool I got it. Ion want your money" Quincy told me.

"Too late" I said and cheesed at him.

I knew I had to just send it and not give him any other options because I know he wouldn't take it. I knew he would never take any money from me but I felt bad for him cancelling his original flight just because my parents want to meet him. That $360 is really nothing to me so it wasn't really hurting my pockets. I'm not saying it would be hurting his but I don't know his financial situation, so I was still going to be considerate.

"I didn't ask you to send me any money Paris. I don't need it" He furrows his eyebrows at me.

"I know you didn't but you're only staying longer to meet my parents. You've spent hella money on me, this is the least I can do. It's not a big deal"

He looks down at his phone and shakes his head, mumbling something under his breath.

"What?" I say raising an eyebrow at me.

"Nothing" He replies with his eyes glued on his phone. I grabbed his phone out of his hands "Nope. Speak up. What did you say?"

"It's nothing." He reaches for the phone.

"Nah what did you say?"

"Nothing all I said was they don't make em like you no more" He replies with a chuckle.

"Whatchu mean?" I said handing him his phone back.

"My ex used to make me pay for everything then would call me broke if I ever asked her to foot the bill for something."

"Ew. She's one of them? If you spoil me, I spoil you simple. Besides you paid for my flight when I came to visit, this is really the least I can do"

"I appreciate it. I'm not gonna flex like I got hella money. I'm still getting shit out the mud."

"It's cool. It's not a big deal" I shrugged putting my purse on my shoulder, "You ready?"

"Yeah" He nods his head and stands up from the bed. He grabs his duffel bag and backpack off the floor.

"You look fine" I said looking him up and down.

"Nah you look fine" He replied leaning down to kiss my lips.

I turned off my bedroom light before walking out "Shells let's go!" I called out grabbing my car keys off the counter.

"I'm ready" She says walking out her bedroom. We all headed out to the elevator and down to the parking garage.

"You want me to drive?" Quincy asked as he put his bags in the trunk.

"Nah I got it" I replied walking over to the driver's seat. I sat down in my seat and buckled my seatbelt. I started up the car and headed to my parents house.

"So what do your parents do exactly? Their house was really nice" Quincy asked looking over at me.

"My dad is in real estate and my mom has a hair salon" I replied back.

"I just love a business man" Michelle says from the back seat.

"I just love a business woman" Quincy says.

"Alright y'all asses can get out and walk" I laughed rolling my eyes. We pulled up to the house about 20 minutes later and I parked in the driveway.

"I hope the food already done cause I'm starving" Michelle says as she gets out the car.

"Me too" I replied getting out as well. We walked up to the front door and I used my key to walk inside.

"Many me wish death upon me. Blood in my eye dog I can't see" I could hear 50 cent playing. I headed to the kitchen and Michelle and Quincy followed.

My mom was standing at the stove cooking. "Hey!" I said above the music so she could hear me.

"Girl you just scared me" She said clenching her chest.

"Hey y'all" She walks over and gives each one of us a hug.

"Quincy right?" She asked and he nods his head. "It's nice to have you"

"Thanks for having me" He replied.

"Whatchu cooking ma? It smells good in here" Michelle questioned trying to peak over at the stove.

"Shrimp, steak, baked potatoes and asparagus" My mom says walking back over to the stove.

"Oooh you almost done? I'm hungry" I asked.

"Alright now. Don't come in my kitchen with all these questions" She laughs.

"Oooh its smellin good in here" I could hear my brother's voice say. I glanced over and his eyes instantly went to Quincy.

"Wassup King" Michelle says.

"What's good" He replies giving her a side hug.

"Quincy this is my lil brother, King" I introduced them.

"Wassup" Quincy replied and they did the guy dap up thing.

"She old enough to have a boyfriend? When this happen Ma?" King laughs walking over to my mom and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Boy goodbye" I chuckled rolling my eyes.

"Where's dad at?" I asked.

"He just went to get Lyric" King tells me. "You play 2K?" He asks Q as he grabbed a bottle of water out the fridge.

"Yeah but if you trash I'm not even tryna play you" Q replies.

"Trash? Man let's go, now I gotta embarrass you" King chuckles and motioned for Quincy to follow him.

"He think he slick. He just tryna interrogate him" I laughed and shook my head. I sat down on the barstool and just sung along to the music that was playing.

"I thought you didn't want us to meet him. What's changed like two days?" My mom questioned raising an eyebrow at me.

"My daddy randomly stopped by the house and met him so there was nothing to hide anymore" I replied shrugging my shoulders "He wanted to come though, if it was up to me he'd be on a flight going back home"

"Wait he doesn't live here?" My mom asked with a confused look on my face.

I shook my head "He lives in New York"

"Mmh interesting"

"Paris!" I heard Lyric say.

"Hey girl!" I replied matching her energy.

"Wassup" My dad walks over and gives me a hug, "Where's your brother?"

"He's upstairs playing the game with Quincy"

"Quincy? I thought he had to go home?" My dad questioned raising an eyebrow at me.

"He booked a later flight, he wanted to come to dinner"

"Oh okay cool that's wassup. Michelle whatchu think of him? You like him?" My dad asks.

I looked over at her to see what she was going to say.

"Yeah, he's cool. We haven't talked much but he seems like a good guy"

"You know Chucky was once a good guy" My dad replies.

"Goodbye" I laughed.

"All I'm saying is he don't even live out here. He could be living a double life. You don't know his situation in New York. He could have a wife and 15 kids at home"

I knew I couldn't tell them that I've been to New York to see him so I knew how he was living. It was weeks ago so they really couldn't do anything about it.

"I actually went out there"

"You what?!" My mom replied quickly turning around from the stove "Have you lost your damn mind Paris?"

"You really took yo ass to New York without anybody knowing your whereabouts to see a man you don't even know. That's natural selection at its finest" My dad frowned.

"Michelle had my location the whole time" I replied back.

"Nope don't involve me in this" She laughed "Imma just go upstairs. C'mon Lyric" She grabbed Lyric's hand and quickly ran out the kitchen.

Neither one of them said a word they just stared at me.

"It's really not as bad as it sounds. It was like two months ago. I am here, I am fine. Can we just move on?"

"You kept this from us for two months Paris? I can't fucking believe you. You know we don't keep secrets" My mom said shaking her head at me.

"She kept it from us cause she knew that was the dumbest decision she's ever made" My dad added in.

"Look I get it. It could've went south but it could've went south here too. I trusted him and he proved me right. There's no need to be mad over something that can't be changed. I'm good because something happening when I went out there was never in God's plan for me." I replied.

They both just glared at me. I just sat there waiting for one of them to say something.

"We'll finish this discussion later" My dad adds in. "I am disappointed in you Paris"

"Go tell them dinner is ready" My mom said turning away from me.

I could take them cursing me out all day long and not be fazed, but hearing them say they're disappointed hit different

I nodded my head and hopped down from the barstool. I headed upstairs to King's room I could hear him and Quincy talking. I peaked my head inside and everybody was just chilling inside.

"The food is ready" I told them.

"Finally" King said hopping up from his gaming chair and walked past me.

"You good?" Michelle stopped and asked me. I nodded my head yes.

Quincy looked down at me confused, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I replied shaking my head and started to walk off.

"Nah wassup" He grabbed my hand pulling me back "Talk to me"

"I'm fine. I just told them I went to New York to see you and they cursed me out."

"They're your parents it's their job to worry about your safety. I'm sure whatever they said was just out of concern for you. Don't worry about it" Quincy said giving me a tight hug.

If they reacted like this over this little ass trip. I just knew I didn't want to see their reaction to finding out about my OnlyFans account. This has to be a secret I take to the grave.
