Awakened Desires(ONGOING)

Ch. 2: "Miracle"

Monica: "Well??...Somebody better start talking."

Joshua: "Mom, I told Michelle to stay out of the kitchen."

Michelle: "And I told you that Mama told me to go in there and get extra napkins."

Monica: "AHT...Joshua, I did tell her that. What's all this about you messing up her shoes?"

Monica & Michelle had their arms folded across their chest waiting on an answer.

Joshua: "Mom, she knows she's suppose to put booties on before coming in there."

Michelle: "I had the booties & was putting them on but you still came towards me with the sauce & makin fun of my shoes..."

Joshua: "Girl, I could care less about you or them funky ass shoes."

Michelle turns her head towards Monica.

Michelle: "MAMA!?!"

Monica: "Joshua, what have I told you about making fun of her?!? You leave her alone, she's very talented & custom made them...why are you always picking on her?"

Meanwhile, throughout the whole conversation, Michelle couldn't keep her eyes off of the handsome stranger sitting at the bar. He had dark chocolate eyes, a clean beard, and full lips.
Dressed in a cream sweater, cream beanie, light blue jeans, & tan Timberlands.

Michelle: 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦....𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮!?

Monica: "You need to apologize to your sister right now!"

Joshua: "But Mom, she's always doing stuff on the sly and gets away with it."

Monica: "Boy, I don't care if you are 36, if you don't apologize to my Miracle right now."

Joshua: "Your 'Miracle' is up to something...she always is."

Michelle manages to pull her stare away long enough to hear the tail end of the conversation.

Michelle: "This isn't a contest of who's gotten away with what Josh, just stop being so mean to me....what's going on with you?"

Joshua: "Look, I'm sorry ok. There I said it, nothing's wrong and that customer needs his order taken."

Monica: "Alright, I'll accept that for now...but best believe, we goin talk."

Joshua: "Yes Mama, got to get back to the kitchen....sorry sis."

Michelle: "I'm sorry too.....love you."

Joshua: "Yeah ok...love you too."

Michelle and Monica look at each other and shake their heads. Monica turns back to her customer.

Monica: "Lord, I'm so sorry about that Skyh...grown kids but still bicker like little kids.....let me finally take your order."

Michelle: "I can do it Mama, you've been on you feet all morning & afternoon."

Monica: "You sure, Miracle?....the lunch crowd starts in an hour or two & Lord knows it's goin get real busy."

Michelle: "I'm sure Mama, I'll take his order & help you for another hour and then I gotta head to the studio."

Monica: "Ok sweet baby girl....Skyh, this is my oldest daughter Michelle but I call her my 'Miracle' because the doctors said I couldn't have another baby then here she comes....then I was blessed to have 2 more after her. God is Good."
