"The hell?" Was the response I got when I told my manager slash publicist Yvette about the Solina situation. "I'm sorry V, I just never actually thought it would be this soon and I would have to talk to her. She told me I was in luck because she just got home from being deployed in Iraq. My baby mama is in the damn army y'all" I said as I sat on the bed.
It's been maybe three days since I spoke to Solina for the first time. She told me we could meet on Friday wherever I choose since she thinks it's best if I do it because of my profile. She told me she needed a few days to get settled and speak to her sisters before we meet.
Which leads us to today. Today is fucking Friday.
"So where are you meeting her?" Kelly asked me. "I sent her the address to Gio's. He offered to shut the restaurant down for the day so we can have a quiet lunch without paparazzi catching pictures of her" I told them and they nodded.
I was shitting bricks. I didn't even know if she still looked the same in the photo I had but I couldn't dwell on it too much. We were meeting at noon so I actually needed to get ready. I got up and moved towards my closet.
"Do you think she knows who you are? How long has she been deployed?" Angie asked. I pulled out a simple pair of jeans and a semi cropped shirt before getting dressed. "I'm sure she knew who I was. She said she was deployed in different locations for ten years and only been back three—four times basically so even if I tried to call her back then, I would have been sent to the base voicemail" I told them as Kelly helped fix my hair behind me.
It was only 11:23 so I had a little bit of time before I needed to leave.
"Are you going to tell Blue?" Solange asked. I hummed, "I'm gonna ask Solina about that. She has been asking me since I told her I was going to try to see if I actually went through with it and I told her I tried and she didn't pick up. I feel so bad for lying" I told them as I put my heals on.
"It's for the best. You and Solina need to let the cards out before her and Blue can meet. Plus, who knows how long before she will be deployed again if she's still active. This needs to be done now" Kelly said and I nodded knowing she was right. "I know I'm just scared y'know? I haven't even told Shawn about this" I said and rubbed my temples. "Fuck him. She's not his anyway so what's the point?" Angie asked.
I was checking myself out in the mirror before huffing, "he raised her, Angie. That was the man she call dad for ten years. I already feel bad for lying to him knowing he obviously can't produce" I told her.
My phone pinged causing Solange to quickly grab it.
"She said she's on her way. You might wanna get going Ju" she told me before handing me my phone. I sighed and took it while also accepting the kisses from my sisters and cousin. Yvette pulled me into a hug and held me like a mother holding her child.
