THE LIFE OF LOVE LIES AND PAIN

chapter 4

My mother calls me out my room to tell me that were moving. I'm like were moving were to auntie side of town? I'm getting excited thinking she gone say yes but she replied no were moving to Macon in a month or two. Knowing I have a life here in Dublin. I'm in a relationship and I don't want anything to change for me.

So I called up pooh to tell him the news. I can hear it in his voice he was upset and didn't want me to leave. We stayed on the phone talking the whole day. I didn't gt a chance to see him that weekend. He was on the phone just singing away. I just melted inside but wanted to cry but couldn't cause he keep me smiling and laughing.

Two days later I gets a message in school saying my great grandfather had passed. I knew which one cause he had been sick awhile and he was the only great grandfather that was alive. A tear felt down my face and my vision begin to get blurred. I held my head down to wipe away the tears. I'm just sitting there thinking about my cousins cause I knew they was taking it hard.

I finished up the rest of he school day and headed home. When I got there nobody was home. I knew I couldn't cal pooh he had basketball practice. I had this gut feeling something else was wrong as well just didn't know what it was or I was just being paranoid for no reason. I hear the phone rings and it was my ma telling me to feed the kids they will be home soon.

Two hours later pooh calls. I answered Hey pooh, I thought you had practice today? No they cancel today's practice he replied. How was your day? he asks. It was terrible I replied. He asked why? My great grandfather died I replied. Baby I'm sorry to here that can you come over today? He asks. Not today I replied my mom is out of town and I have to babysit but you can come over her.

Great he replied as I gave him the address. He came over the next hour. We talked watched TV and I feed the kids as I was told. The phone rings and one the kids answered and handed to me. Its was a voice on the other end I did catch. Asked how I'm doing? Fine I replied then they asked where is my mother? She not here right now would you like to leave a message? No they replied and hung up.

Me and pooh got back to our movie all cuddled up. He wraps his arm around me and pulls me closely making me feel secured. When the movie hits the end pooh starts to kiss on my neck and caress my earlobe with his tongue and lips. Suddenly he starts a little fire between us but we couldn't do what we wanted but that little tease made me angry and frustrated.

He's been there for at least three hours. My moms comes through the door. Soon as we seen her we separates and laughing. Pooh leans over and whisper in my ear glad we wasn't naked cause she was gone see all I had. I burst out into laughter. My mom walks over asking us what y'all think y'all doing? Nothing I replied. Ok nie she replied.

How everyone doing ma? I ask. They doing fine keisha she replied. When is the funeral I ask. On your birthday she replied. Well change of plans for my birthday. Pooh asked for a ride home since he got dropped off. We will take you home my ma replied. I stood up and told pooh let's go outside. Ok he replied

As we head to the back door pooh grips my ass and laughing but gets caught doing it. We step outside to talk. He ask could he go to support me I said sure. He was ready to go so I told my ma he was ready so her boyfriend took him home. I hugged and kiss him goodbye and he promise to call me when he got home.
