The Plug's LifeLine

Chapter 7: Comfort Zone

Cassidy speaks..

"Momma, where you at??" I yelled walking into my mother's 2 story house using my own key that I never returned after moving out..

"I'm in the kitchen Babi!!.." I heard Momma's voice booming from the next room..

I loved to be around my momma.. It had been just the two of us for a long time after my father passed away.. He was the best man that I ever knew in my entire life.. There's nothing that he wouldn't do for me, momma and Raquel.. He always made sure we were taken care of, even after he had passed away, he made sure that we had major money in the bank to live off of and be comfortable.. He had a huge Life insurance policy and he left about 3 mill in mommas bank account.. My father used to travel a lot and I never really knew what he did for a living until I was 18 years old and momma finally broke it down to me.. She said by that time, I was old enough to know the truth so that if anything happened, I would know exactly what to do..

It's been 4 years since he passed, no one knew he was sick because he always seemed so strong in front of us.. When his health started declining, me and momma made sure we did everything we could to make him comfortable.. After we had his funeral, me and momma took a trip to St. Lucia and spread his ashes along the beautiful ocean waves on a beach with pitch black sand.. It was the most beautiful scene I have ever experienced..

My poppa used to run numbers.. Meaning he was would collect bets on big games, dog races, boxing matches, anything he could do to swindle money out of the gambling addicts and the naïve people who's money burned a hole in their pockets and couldn't wait to spend it.. Poppa like those kinds the best because they would literally bet on anything because they felt like they had more than enough money to cover the losses and poppa felt the same way.. I missed him so very much because he always kept me motivated and bring my spirits up when I was down.. Poppa loved when I sang as a little girl, he had several favorite songs he only wanted to hear sung by me.. so when I tapped into my actual musical career he was so very excited and made sure to motivate me to go hard for what I wanted.. I am happy that he was able to attend a couple of my shows before he passed on..

"What you cookin' momma??.." I asked spelling the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen as I got closer..

"Some Pig Tails and green bananas.." Momma replied with a smile because she knew that is my all time favorite Island dish!!..

"Oh yea, I'm right on time wit it!!.." I said rubbing my hands together ready to eat the delicious meal my momma was whippin' up..

"How's everything goin' at your new place??' Momma asked..

"Everything is wonderful Momma, Pax makes sure everything is taken care of.. All I really have to do is cook and clean and focus on my music.. and he jus turned one of the rooms into a mini studio where I can record on my own time in between my recording sessions.." I exclaimed with pure excitement in my voice..

"Oh I'm so happy for ya Babi!!.. Even though I miss tha hell outcha.." Momma said looking at me over the top rim of her glasses..

"Awwwww, I miss you too momma..!!" I said sarcastically and squeezing her tight and kissing her cheeks..

"Girl get yo crazy azz off me.. silly tale self!!.." Momma said laughing and enjoying my company.. 

"So wea ya lil man at??" I asked momma being nosey about her new lil side piece..

"Ain't NOTHIN" lil bout my man!!" Momma said making me gag and almost throw up in my mouth!!..

"Yuck momma, dang dats TMI!!" I said disgusted that she had created that horrible image in my head..

"Well you tha one asked about him.." Momma said laughing like she was just tickled pink by making me uncomfortable..

"I'm makin a mental note not to do that ever again!!.." I said as we both laughed until we cried real tears from all the laughter..

"So when you gonna bring Pax over for dinner or something??.." Momma asked sturring her pot of food and tasting the juices to ensure it is cooked properly.. 

"When you want us to come momma??.. We'll make time for you, and you know that.. You be too busy wit ya lil man to be worried about feedin mine.." I said jokingly.. 

"Baby, ya'll are welcome at any time, jus make sure you give me a heads up so I can make enough food.." Momma replied..

"Ok momma, we gonna come over on Sunday and have a family dinner.. is that cool??" I asked already knowing that she was going to say yes..

"Yes that's fine babi, I can't wait to ask Paxton 2,001 questions so he kno I aint playing about my babi.. I'll fukk em up bout ya!!.." Momma said shaking her spoon to let me know she wasn't playing!!..

"Oh trust me he know's momma, you done cussed tha man out on several occasions about me not coming over as often, like it's his fault.." I said..

"It is his fault cus he wanna take up all yo damn time.. Shyt, I would like to see my damn child too sometimes.." Momma said wit a look of concern on her face..

"Awwwww you miss me momma!!" I said laughing and rubbing her back..

"I do miss yo lil aggravating azz, you and Quel.. she only comes here to sleep and barely does that.. If I would've known ya'll was gonna move out so quickly, I would've gotten a smaller house.." Momma replied..

"Nawl Momma, you deserve dis big boss house, you've worked so hard to raise me and now you can relax and let me take care of you.." I said kissing her forehead..

"Hell yea, I'm down fa dat.. it feels good to be able to do what I want and not be tied down to a job for 40hrs a damn week!!.." Momma expressed with a smile on her face..

"Ok, well I gotta get goin to my session, I jus wanted to check on you and bring you your VIP tickets for my next show.." I said, handing her the 2 VIP tickets and backstage passes..

"Ok, thank you Babi, you kno me a Bobby gone be up in der singing erry song.." Momma said wit a twist in her neck..

"A'ght young buck!!.." I said then gave her another kiss on her forehead, grabbed my Tupperware full of food and headed for the door.. It's time to get in my zone so I can go record some more hot shyt fa tha streets!!
