"You're so pretty."
"Toni, stop." She moved my hand away.
"You're so gorgeous."
"Toni, get from between my legs please."
"But you just got waxed and I love watching fat ma show out when she's naked." I laughed. I had gotten waxed for Josiah's birthday pool party and Toni was making a big deal about it. "Can I play with her?"
"No, you can't." I slipped my swimsuit on and looked at myself in the mirror. It was white bikini bottoms and a cropped swimming top. I recently started wearing my belly ring again and it looked awesome. I put on a couple of anklets and a few bracelets. I put on my cover up shawl and my sunglasses.
"You look so good, babe." I looked at Toni and she had on a swim top band and some trucks. Her locks had grown so long and she wore them down.
"You look sexy. I love it."
"Thanks." She put on her slides and I put on my sandals. We made our way downstairs and out to our pool. Josiah wanted his party here because he wanted to go straight to his room when he's tired.
We stepped out and saw all of his friends and some other parents hanging out. We had done the cake and everything already so we were just chilling now.
I sat down next to some of the other moms. "Ohhh,
Jan. Girl you're looking good. I'm jealous."
"Sara, cut it out." After the incident over ten years ago with Charlie's mom, Sara stopped hanging with Tara. Charlie still came around though and he never liked being around his mom. Serves her right.
"I'm serious, girl. What's your workout routine?"
"Toni's di..." Traci started.
"Shut up." Toni went over by the Dads as they drunk beer or whatever.
"Girl, can you believe our babies are as big as they are?" asked Toya.
"I definitely can't and girl what's been going on with Kenny?" We looked at him as laughed and talked with the other dads. He had gotten even more muscular. His skin was clearer, his locs were longer and the tattoos on him were really defined.
"Girl, listen. Since the business went international, he's had so much energy and I'm loving it, especially since I can't get pregnant anymore. Amen for menopause." We laughed.
"Girl, you're crazy." said Traci.
"No, I'm serious. We only got one kid left at the house. Londyn decided she was going to stay in Boston until her grad school program starts, Tayden is at Juilliard in New York, and since Junior got into that private boarding school, we only have Leo and he's so easy to deal with. He don't give me no problems, he goes to school, does his work, has his little job and hangs out with his friends sometimes."
"Leo has a job? He's only fourteen." asked Towanda.
"He works at the office with Kenny. He's his little assistant. You know he loves his daddy."
"Girl, who you telling. The girls have been begging me to let them go down to Toni's office. Ever since they helped out during winter break, it's been 'Mommy can we go back? Mommy can we go back?" We laughed.
"These kids and their Dads."
"So how's Londyn doing at Harvard?"
"She's doing good. She's starting her Law School program and she's really excited about it. She already has these law firms looking at her."
"Really, that didn't happen for me until my third year." sad Sara.
"I know. I guess she's just making an impression. Even Kenny's law department is thinking about having her as one of their lawyers when she gets done."
