As Toni stood outside of Nydia's house a million thoughts ran through his mind. Many of he thoughts about Nydia. But a great deal were also about her parents. They always seemed to know when he was over, as if they had a constant surveillance of her house. Many times he would come over just to hang out with her, and they would show up within twenty minutes, her mother berating Nydia, her father threatening Toni. Toni had realized the pattern of their actions and knew when they could and couldn't get caught in the midst of things her parents would disapprove of. The quick thought of their sex life made Toni grin like a teenager. Their sex life was anything but boring. He imagined each and every room of the house where they had had sex, a few times narrowly avadinng her parents catching them, but Toni loved the thrill.
When Nydia opened the door it surprised Toni, he wasn't expect that, his hand had been raised to knock but he didn't believe she was going to answer. His mind stumbled over what words to say, but luckily she was the one who had done the talking. That was how it always had been for them. Toni didn't talk he was just the physical intimidation. It didn't take him long to agree and follow her inside, shutting and locking the door behind him in habit. Toni followed Nydia to her living room, sitting in the large recliner he always did, unless of course they were on the couch having a bit of fun. When he sat down Toni looked across at Nydia and gave a small smile.
Toni tried to think of what to say. He was never good at words. And in the sense Toni was not intelligent, ask any of his teachers and they would tell you he's an idiot. But that was untrue, academically he was not prevalent, but with what he did he was a genius. Academically he had dyslexia, which many teachers believed, he just was never formally diagnosed. Whenever Nydia's parents tried to use that against him it would frustrate him and he would storm out as he had throughout years of schooling. In his gang though he was smart. He knew how to handle fights, drugs, hide evidence. He was the go to man. It made him proud. Sure his intelligence and talents weren't what one would respect. But he was good at what he did, and it made him money.
Toni finally strung together a few words to begin the conversation. "Nydia, I love you." He mumbled and rubbed the back of his neck, his nervous tick. "I can't stand life without you. I know I'm not a rich man. But I truly love you. And I want you back." He said and leaned back into the reclined rubbing his neck again. "Please take me back. I know your parents hate me. But I would do anything for you." He said and trailed off his sentence. Toni didn't know just how much her parents were about to hate him.
