Sugar Baby

"And girl, how about his wife was sitting in the private room waiting for me! She found out about me and Michael chile. Shit was so crazy...Thank God I'm at home now though from all that mess....Earth to Omerettá, are you listening?!?!"

Ti's last sentence brings me back to reality as I respond, "Huh? I heard you I'm just thinking, my bad."

"What are you thinking about," Ti asks.

"Way too much...I want to finish hearing about you though before I start."

"Nah, I think your problems worse than mine the way you're off in space, what's going on?"

Sighing, I readjust in the bed and start. "So, Jabari took me to meet his family today. They were really nice and welcomed me with open arms, but..."

"But?"

"While I was in the bathroom, I overheard Jabari's mom telling her husband I may be her old friend's daughter..."

"Whaaaaaatttttt?!?!"

"Wait a minute, I'm confused...how did she come up with that," Vicky asks.

"She was saying how the things I was telling them was matching up with the timeline of her friend...then she said she told her she was going to name the baby Amaria."

"Oh shit..."

"So...are you interested in meeting her?"

"I don't know... I know if I don't look into it more it's going to drive me crazy. Then again, if she wanted to have a relationship with me she would've reached out by now. I don't want to go looking for her and then find out she doesn't want anything to do with me."

"You right about that... Have you told Angela?"

"Uhn uhn, why should I?"

"Hmm I just thought you would've because you go and ask her advice on other stuff. Then again that would probably be awkward since she's like a mom to you kinda..."

"Whatttt? Where you get that from," I ask laughing.

"I don't know why you laughing because Vic telling the truth sis. I wouldn't tell her though, she may get jealous or it may get awkward..."

I laugh even harder and shake my head. "Jealous? And wait a minute, both of you guys believe this?"

"Duh. Not everyone would go out their way like she does with you. She really cares about you Rettá."

I know Angela cares about me and I care about her as well. She's been there for me a lot of times when I needed someone and I have tried to do the same for her. However I wouldn't or haven't considered our relationship to be like mother and daughter.

Then again how would I know?

"Anywaysssss...did Jabari's mom say this woman's name or anything about her?"

"All I know is her name is Keri. I think I'm just going to leave the situation alone right now though."

"Well whatever you choose to do, we'll support you."

"Most def! And if you want to stalk and track her down we can do that to! I know some people that can now just ask me."

Laughing softly, I shake my head. "I don't know about that but thank you guys..."

"No problem. Well I'm about to go to sleep now, it was great talking with my beautiful wives tonight. I'll talk with y'all later!"

"Okay, good night."

"Night." 

I hang up our FaceTime and get up to go downstairs for a bottle of water take to my room before going to bed. That cold water know it hits different in the middle of the night.
