Romani
L.A,Baton Rouge

We were heading to the cemetery for my mother's death anniversary,this was one of the hardest things I had to deal with in my life,I wouldn't have imagined losing my mother but God had different plans but I'm Thankful for the times we spent together,she was such a religious woman, always trusting in God and believing in Him, following his commandments and always uplifting others spiritually.

Saint was fast asleep in Drew's arms who was also sleeping as well. Once we got to the cemetery,we got out the car and I saw Wesley waiting with 3 bouquets of flowers and roses ,so I walked up to him and hugged him.

"Thank you Wes, you didn't have to get all these flowers" I smiled

"You're welcome, I wanted this day to be special Romani, this is the day you celebrate your mom's life,I know she's proud of you from heaven" Wesley smiled down at me and I picked his lips 3 times and we all walked to where she was buried and we stood around her grave.

"Hey mom,it's Romani again,I came with my friends and my boyfriend, we came to see you and leave you some flowers and I want you to meet Saint ,he is my baby boy ,I know you would have loved playing with him. Oh mom this is the most difficult thing to process in my life,I can't believe you're actually gone ma , I love you so much and I know you're in a better place with God and Jesus , enjoying your time with the Almighty, singing and dancing,you lived a good life mom and you did an amazing job as a servant of Christ and as a child of God,I thank God for your life,I love you and I miss you dearly." I cried as I said my speech from heart , Wesley gave me a bouquet of roses and I placed it on her tombstone alongside with Wesley and Saint who was now awake.

The girls placed the second bouquet together and we all put the last one down as one .

"Dear Father,we thank you for the life of this woman,she was a prayer warrior, a servant of Christ and your daughter, we cherish the moments we had with her,she was a goodmother,daughter,sister and wife, thank you for blessing us with her presence for we now know she's in a better place with you,in Jesus name ,Amen" Reign prayed and we left my mom's tombstone and went back to the cars.

"You go with Wesley, Saint, Athena and Reign and we will find you at your apartment, we have to go buy food for us" Drea smiled

"Alright see you there" I smiled and the rest of us got into Wesley's car and Drew and Alexis went in Athena's car.

The car ride back was silent for a bit but Wesley decided to start a conversation.

"We are going to Cancun next weekend, you guys are free to join us, I can pay for everything,air ticket and hotel rooms as well,we all need a vacation and a few of my friends is coming over as well,so if y6have boyfriends they can come too, us guys can handle all the fees " Wesley smiled

"I would love to,we deserve to relax after a stressful few months" Athena smiled

"I agree" Reign laughed

"Amazing,we can leave Friday morning and come back Monday evening " Wesley smiled as he held my hand and I smiled back at him. What would I do without Wesley,he has literally been there for me , always being attentive, assuring as well and loving and he is a really good cook.

We got to my apartment and we got inside and Wesley closed the door behind us and us girls went to get changed into clean clothes.

"You need to marry that man" Athena whispered

"She is right,he Is really putting pressure" Reign laughed

"Y'all calm down,we are taking it slow " I laughed

"Y'all have done the deed yet?" Athena asked in surprise

"No we haven't,we were about to buy we realised we shouldn't rush into it, lust is something we should flee from" I smiled

"Look at you reading the Word of God,I'm loving this new Romani" Reign smiled

"It's a hard journey but God is helping me every step of the way , giving up my old lifestyle was hard but I'm slowly walking out of it" I smiled

"I love this for you Mani" Athena smiled and we finished getting dressed and left my room for the living room where Wesley and Saint were playing NBA2k22 together.

"Look at you two having fun" I laughed as I sat down next to Wesley and leaned my head on his arm.

"I was teaching Saint how to play like a real champ" Wesley chuckled

"Mama see me" Saint cheesed

"Yes I see you baby" I smiled

I think like this little life,This little life. This is the bond I wanted between Nahmere and Saint but Nahmere wasn't man enough for that,but as long as I got Wesley and Saint with me, forget about that man. I definitely love love love my new man.
