《Love You Despite |Complete ✅|》(20) Punkin

{Unedited}
I'm walking out now for final walk down. I see all my crew looking in the audience proud clapping. This was amazing, although the play was a little risqué with some of the kissing scenes. Which Adrian wasn't really comfortable with. I did warn him. I guess seeing it is another thing.
We took our bows, and the filled auditorium chanted and yelled. Everyone clapped and whistled, I was in heaven. All the hard work paid off. It was worth it, especially with the morning I had.
"You were amazing Rai Rai." Sienna came running, jumping all over me handing me flowers.
"Thank you, thank you." I laughed.
The rest of the crew came hugging and congratulating me. My brother came and shook me up. "You did it sis." We both shared a proud laugh.
Adrian came walking slowly behind his parents, hiding his smile. They came up to hug and congratulate me while Adrian stood back staring.
"Hi." I said to him sort of blushing.
His smile grew. He walked up to me and picked me up, hugging and squeezing me. He slowly spun me around. I buried my face in to his neck giggling.
"I'm so fucking proud of you." He whispered in my ear then kissed it sending electric waves through me.
"Thank you Punkin." I squealed, his parents smirked walking off giving us privacy.
He was confused, twisting up his face. "The hell is Pumpkin?"
"That's my little name for you now."
He shook his head. "Nope. Nah, you have to come up with something better than that, —Pumpkin really?"
"Yeah I love it." I whined.
"I don't even eat pumpkin, you already know that."
"It's Punkin not pumpkin, I don't eat Munch or whatever that is." She stated.
"Trust me that's not why I call you that."
"Are you ever going to tell me why?" I questioned.
"When the time is right you'll know and you won't have to ask." He smirked and I squinted.
Everyone was talking amongst themselves and getting ready to head over to St. Cecilias to feast out.
When we all go out to eat we usually call ahead and order up the menu. We share, it's sort of like a buffet style set up at the table. Then at the end we split the bill evenly.
Leaving out of the auditorium, some of the cast and their families were joining us. Everybody loaded up and headed over to the restaurant. I rode with Sienna since Mike dropped me off earlier to the play. Adrian had Troy with him and Trey decided to tag along with them. Mikey, Leah and KJ rode together. Everybody else followed in their vehicles.
As I got into Siennas car I noticed both of us were quieter than usual.
"How are you feeling?" She asked pulling out into traffic.

"Relieved a little."
"I'm sure, you've been running around stressing with this play I know you're happy it's finally over, y'all did great."
"Yes." I paused turning toward her. "We need to talk when we get a chance. It's a lot about my past you don't know about. You're my sister and I want to be able to be as open to you as you are to me."
"You deserve that." I added.
"We can make that happen, just name the time and place and I will be there."
"Well later I was going to try and see if I could spend time with Adrian, he has a surprise for me. So tomorrow morning would be good."
"Ok we can do breakfast and then hang out by the pool. Your place or mine?" She asked while watching the rode.
"We can go to yours, I haven't hung out with your parents in a while. I'm so glad they were able to make it tonight, I know they have busy schedules. So this was major."
"You know they'll break their backs trying to get to our stuff."
I smiled.
"How has Mike been with your relationship status?" She asked glancing at me.
"Honestly I don't know, it's like he's there for me physically but with everything else there is a disconnect."
"Give him more time. This is a shock for him. He's kind of in the middle of you and Adrian. That's his best friend and you're his sister. "
"Yeah." I nodded gazing out the window.
"So it's more than just an adjustment. His relationship with Adrian will change now regardless if y'all are together or not. Their conversations with each other will never be like they were before he discovered your relationship."
"Right, and he's allowed to feel whatever he's feeling. I would be selfish to think things would be peace and harmony right now." I agreed.
"Yep, but don't stress it. Just focus on you and what makes you happy."
"Look at my sis speaking that knowledge to a yungin', learn me something." We busted out laughing.
"I see my brother in law Trey has been keeping you occupied." I added.
"Yes, with his goofy self."
"Y'all goals."
"Shut up Rai." We laughed again as we pulled into the restaurant.
"I love this place I haven't been here in a couple months. I was with you last time we went."
"Yeah, you were the third wheel remember. I told you to bring Adrian but you didn't want to chance it."
"Well yeah and I didn't want our first date to no offense be with you two busters."
"Whatever you love this buster though, so that's all that matters." We giggled.
Mikey, Leah and KJ were the first to arrive. Adrian followed behind us pulling up, parking close to us. Chance, Amina and everybody else started pulling in when we were getting out of the car.

"I was coming to get your door, but you couldn't wait." Adrian said walking over to me kissing me tenderly.
"I didn't think about it I was too busy talking."I smiled.
Sienna hopped on Treys back and Troy was on his phone talking to some girl. We were all walking inside.
"Heavy ass." Trey mumbled.
"What was that Trey?" Sienna asked him wanting him to speak up.
"I didn't say nothing."
"Thought so." She said hopping down off his back.
"Whatever, you ain't got it like that so stop it." He replied smacking her butt hard making her squeal.
"Trey!" Siennas mother yelled walking behind us scaring him, causing him to jump.
"Oh, sorry mama."
We all busted out laughing as we entered the restaurant.
We were now seated at the table, Mikey stood up to bless the food. I love moments like these when we're all together.
"Did you taste those scallops? Amazing." Adrian's mother Mrs. Adams sung.
"Probably need to order an extra plate of those, they are good mama." Adrian agreed.
"So Raina, what's next? I know you have graduation coming up." Siennas dad asked.
"Yes graduation, I'm a little nervous about my speech. I'm headed to Howard in the fall."
"Don't forget we're going to Kenya for the summer." Mikey butted in.
Uh excuse me sir, the hell we are.
"We are?"
"Yeah we go every summer." He replied simply.
"I just thought since this was my break before college we weren't going."
"Why would you think that?"
"We never discussed it that's why." I scrunch my face, puzzled to this news.
"Well we go every summer, this isn't new."
I looked at Adrian seated beside me, he was in deep thought. I was a little bit annoyed now. So I just continued to eat.
For the rest of the night we laughed and talked amongst ourselves, it was getting late and everybody started getting ready to leave.
"Thank you all for coming out and showing us so much love and support. Also I want to thank the cast and crew. Everybody I worked alongside to make this show possible. Oh and to my love interest thank you for being patient with me." I smiled around the room looking at all their beautiful faces.
Everybody smiled and clapped.
"Thank you Raina, it was amazing working with you pulling all those different emotions out of me." My co star Ryan stood and stated genuinely.
"Yeah and the kisses, don't forget to thank her for those kisses." Adrian added with a humorous smirk and we all laughed.
"Right. Thanks again Raina and thank you too Adrian for that." Ryan joked and we laughed again.
Leaving out of the restaurant I held on to Adrian's arm tight. I'm still annoyed with Mikey. So I definitely know my Punkin's feeling a way too.
"You think you can ride back with me?" He asked.
"I'll go tell Mikey, hold on."
I walked back inside to meet Mikey, he was the last to leave the restaurant.
"Mikey I'm riding back with Adrian."
"It's getting late Raina." He glared.
"Ok, but I'm riding back with Adrian." I sarcastically stated.
"Whatever Raina."
"See you at home byeee." I walked off leaving him pissed off standing there.
I'm honestly tired of this not having a life routine. I should be able to date. I understand it's the who of it all, but he need to realize it's not changing. A summer trip to Nairobi, Kenya will not break us.
"What did he say?" Adrian asked as we pulled out of the parking lot.
"The same stuff he always says, he's stuck in his ways."
"So, about this trip?" He asked.
"I don't know apparently I'll be in Nairobi, this summer. He's never said anything to me about it until now."
"What do you want to do, because we'll be ok regardless." He said glancing over at me as he adjusted the air.
"I don't want to be away from you that long." I pouted.
"Well babe you are going to Howard, so we are going to be away from each other."
"I know and I've been avoiding that."
"I know you have, I didn't want to mention anything until your schedule cleared up. I didn't want to stress you even more."
I grabbed his free hand and interlocked it with mine.
"Yeah we definitely have to come up with a plan." I added.
"Enough about that, —I got you here with me now Munch. You're in my world. On your way to my house." He looked at me grinning then he kissed my hand I had interlocked with his.
"I love you."
"I love you too Punkin." I said back to him making him grumble, I giggled. We enjoyed the rest of the ride listening to some mixed jams, enjoying the nights flashing lights go by.
Pulling up to Adrian's house, I was a little anxious. I've never been to his house. I've been to his parents house plenty.
"Alright I know how much of a perfectionist you are, so don't judge me." He spoke as he opened my car door.
"I'm not that bad."
"Babe I've never seen anything around you unorganized."
"Just come on."
He exhaled. "Here we go."
