I knew that unless I went over Morgan's she'd be on my doorstep so I decided to go visit her after work hoping she had cooked because I hadn't had anything substantial since Syd took me food from my favorite restaurant on Saturday.

"Hey sissy."

"Hey Mo, where's everyone?"

"Mari took Megzz to get ice cream."

"Cool, did you cook. I'm kinda hungry."

"You know I did, come on, you can eat while I talk 'cause I have lots to tell you."

"I'm scared," I joked.

Laughing she said,
"Sit,
Mom called."

"What'd she say?"

"When am I taking Megaa to see her, when are we going to get married. If you are ever going to give her grand babies. The usual."

"She moved out the country, she needs to come visit us. As for marriage and babies. Tell her you're working on that for me and you."

"Um, nah. Don't your ovaries and vajayjay work?"

"My heart doesn't though."

She sighed and took a seat so I knew a lecture was in the works.
"I'm not tryna lecture you, I'm just saying it works if you want it to. Like you've loved before and wasn't that a good experience for the most part? I'm not saying settle down with the next guy that comes along. I'm saying at least go on a normal date. Not with a married guy, or one in a steady relationship. One no strings attached date to just enjoy the company of another human being besides your family and the two friends you currently have."

I didn't respond, Morgan knew I wouldn't so she didn't push me for a response and that's what I loved about her.
She practically raised me in my teen years.

Sad to say but I still battled my past whereas Mo glided over all our problems.
Instead of dealing with them I used them to build a wall.
I really didn't know if it was worth going on a "normal date". I've really only met one man I thought I could trust and in the end even he left.

Damn, why me? Was I a bad person? Did I deserve to be happy again?
Would I ever even get the chance to happy?
Would I open my heart to that happiness...

Anybody wanna buy a heart? I don't feel like using mine right now.

"Oh I'm setting the wedding for May."

I turned to see Morgan with a sheepish smile.
"That's barely three months away."

"I know but I wanted to get married before the new baby gets here as well as before I get too fat. I know you're thinking you'll have to plan it all, and you're right but pretty please, we'll split the work, ms maid of honor."
