Be Careful Who You Love

Be Careful Who You Love - C.18

>FlashBack<

Saevionne and Anyia were sitting in his room, back in New Orleans. They were trying to get to know each other a little more and decided that they'd play 21 Questions.

"Hey, why'd you get my mom's name tatted on your neck?" Anyia asked him. It has always felt weird to her that every time she looked at him she had to see her mother's name across her neck. It sometimes even made intimacy hard as well.

Saevionne smiled a bright smile with admiration in his eyes, causing her to grow a confused look on her face.

"For a very long time your mom was the only family I had and the only person that gave me hope. I don't think I'd be here today if it weren't for her. As a kid no matter how bad that lady I lived with abused me, whenever I thought about seeing Zi'aire again one day, it was like I could endure anything. So, I got her name tatted on my neck so that every time I looked in the mirror she motivated me again. For a while it stopped working and I fell into a dark place. In a way she was my mother first, but now she's more so like my big sister now that Kendra's in the picture." He said shaking his head at the end, not really knowing or wanting to go into detail about how he became so addicted to coke. He was ashamed of that part of his life more than anything else .

Anyia now understood why he loved her mom so much . Saevionne sighed and then looked at Anyia with a curious look on his face.

"Have you ever thought of maybe one day looking for your birth parents?" He asked her.

She immediately shook her head no . "There's a lot that Kobe lies about but not once since I've been on this Earth has he lied about who and what our parents are . I know when he's lying because he gets this look of satisfaction in his eyes and I know when he's telling the truth cause he'll look so blank in the face to the point where you'd never know if he's ever shown any type of facial expression before. My parents are and were horrible people to us. I'm lucky Zi'aire and Jaboree took in a trader's sister as their own . What about you ?"

Saevionne looked at her and nodded. "I'd love to meet my parents. I'd look 'em in the eye and not only show 'em but tell 'em how I was better off without 'em . I mean look at me . Imma millionaire and I'm sixteen . How many kids can say that ? As far as growing a relationship with them , I'm open to it ."

Saevionne and Anyia continued to ask questions back and forth until they became distracted by the smell of food and raced downstairs to see what was being cooked. They learned a lot about each other that day and Saevionne hoped that with her knowing so much more about him now that she's always understand him and want to be with him.

"Kobe, May has to eat, it's been two days ." Anyia nearly cried. Although, she was starving as well, she knew she could hold out longer than May.

"Ya'll gone eat at the funeral. " He said not paying them any mind. Yes, May's cries were getting on his last nerve but he could care less about feeding them.

He had found Amira and had his people bring her to him. They were currently on their way now.

Meanwhile, Amira was ecstatic to finally see her only son after so many years. She couldn't wait to see the man he had grown into.

Reaching Kobe's home, Amira was already proud of all he's done for himself. The guards escorted her inside and as soon as she entered she heard May's cries as if someone was abusing her. She began to get a feeling in her gut that maybe everyone was right after all, maybe her son wasn't who she thought he was.
