BRENTON
It's been few days since I told my family I was coming home traci's called me every day trying to figure out what day I'm coming and to vent about how I've set off Paytons crazy he says she's been tense since he told her and the fact that I still haven't shown up was definitely eating at her, he also said that if she calls me trippin her and Lorri already planned out how the conversation was gonna go. I laughed to myself for a second then it dawned on me, Payton hadn't called me since our divorce was final, we really just communicate through traci, if it wasn't for my son and social media I wouldn't be able to check up on her. Just knowing she was worrying about me and anticipating my arrival means a lot to me and now that I've handled all my business here, I'm ready to go home to my family see I just haven't booked the flight something in me needed Payton to call ...

*24 hours later*

I'm still the man for you
And I'm still the man that's true
And I'm still the man who's lucky
And I'm still in love with you
It don't matter what your friends do
They're just jealous of me and you
And I'll always keep you happy
'Cause I'm still in love with you
(I'm still in love) Yeah

I'm sitting in my mothers basement drinking some 1942, listening to some smooth RnB and I find myself reminiscing on the first time I told Pay I love her, that was one of the best days of my life. " I really married that girl and built a life" I said to myself . My phone rings shaking me out of my thoughts and without looking to see who it is I answer.. "You know you have a lot of nerve telling my son your coming home and not showing up BreNtonnn who the fuck do you think you are? Huh?" Realizing I'm talking to a drunk Payton and because I've been drinking too I decided to indulge her antics " your son?" " yes my son! Whose been waiting for you all week you jackass now where the hell are you!?!" "Payton.." she cut me off " no Brent you where supposed to be here days ago!, you could've at least called! This family has been through enough heartache don't you think.. look I don't have time for you to go missing AGAIN at least call your son damn it!" "Now you listen! Payton I speak to my son! everyday traci knows exactly where I am, why I'm not there yet, & what day and time to pick me up from the airport love" I say grinning " so it sounds to me like your the one who's been waiting but don't worry baby I'll be home sooner than you think" I say with a chuckle " you ugghhh I can't with you BYE!" "Yeah I love you too" and with that we hung up.
