Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Chapter 20: Don't take your love away

Today was a big and exciting day for me today was my first event. I would be catering my cakes to, a beautiful wedding but there was one thing that I had to do before heading to the hall. Where the reception would be. Today I was quitting my career as a judge. It has truly been the best 4 years of my life but this was never my calling. I wanted freedom I was tired of being locked up in my office reading cases and going over papers. I walked to my building to tell Julia my boss. I knocked on her door.

"Come in" she said. I took a deep breath opening the door. I greeted her with a half smile. "Hey Julia" I smiled

"Hey Tia, how's it going girl? She asked. "Everything is going great so great that I made a decision to resign from being a judge" I said taking a pause ...Im ready to expand my horizons well do what I really want to do" I explained. She looked shocked and blown away so blown away she stopped typing.

"Are you sure about this what about all those years of law school? She asked

"Law school was great, I am proud to say that I was a judge. One of the youngest in the state but I realized that I put my real dream to the side because I didn't think I was capable of doing it. Now that my business is up and running I just want to focus on that and other things" I explained.

"Wow, well were gonna miss you here" she frowned. I took my resignation letter from out of my bag handing it to her.

"I'll clean out my office on Monday" I said. She quickly read it placing it to the side. She got up reaching her hands out for me. "Aww give me a hug" she said. I smiled reaching out giving her a hug. Julia was like the cool white aunt that enjoyed hiphop so cool that you really accepted her as one of you. I'm really gonna miss her , I handed her my business card.

"Make sure you come through with your husband to my bakery" I smiled.

Later that Evening

Jacob

I was finally at my co-worker Anthony's wedding and being the groomsmen felt great. All of us were like a big clan I knew we would have fun again tonight. Last night was his bachelor's party and let's just say were all recovering from hangovers. My stomach was feeling queasy and I had to stand up here for an hour. Not to mention his wife's bridesmaid been trying to flirt with me all day. Not that she's not an attractive woman but the only woman I could think of was Tia. She never responded to the flowers so I knew she was pretty much through with me. Just watching his wife walk down the aisle  kind of made me vision Tia. I could see myself having a future with her but I know I fucked it up before it could have been great. I tried to zone out and think about something else my conscious was going insane. Every thing reminded me of her, I missed her spunky attitude, the way she listened and vibed with me. Her pure paradise perfume she wore, her nurturing side and even her cute jealous and envious ways. I know we've been dating for three months but shit it felt like I was married to this woman that's how deep the connection was.

Tia

It was now 8 at night and people were slowly coming in. I was adding the finishing touches on the cakes. It was getting so crowded that some people were drooling over the desert. I wish I had my sister here with me she's been my road dog and extra there for me since the whole situation. She's even talked me in to going on another date and giving Tyriq another try but my mind wasn't on dating anymore. 

I sat at the table where the rest of us where sitting waiting to be served. I was never the rude type so I continued to have small talk with the bridesmaid. Dria was here name "So when's the last time you've been in a relationship? She asked.

"Umm a while" I admitted. Speaking of relationship I saw a familiar woman standing near the desert bar. It looked like Tia nah it couldn't be her she doesn't bake for big events like this. I stared hoping she would turn around a little so I could see if that was her. I didn't want to run up to her and embarrass myself. She softly swayed her head to the side revealing herself. That was her and she looked good as ever. Apart of me wanted to go up there but I wouldn't dare make this event about me its about my homeboy. But then again its two months since the fight and if I continue to act like a pussy she'll be in the arms of someone else and I couldn't dare let that happen. "Excuse me" I said removing myself from the table. I slowly walked over towards her she was in the damn zone on the phone from her bluetooth.

I coughed a little getting her attention "Hey Tia" I said. She quickly turned around  facing me she had a look of shock on her face.

"H-hey" she said turning back around. I rolled my eyes at how stubborn she was being but its understandable.

"So what brings you here? I asked her.

"Hey Jackie I'll call you back okay" she said on the phone. "I'm adding the finishes touches to the cake as you can see" she said not looking at me. 

I sighed "Tia can we please talk? I begged. 

"No, I can't not right now" she said wiping her hands walking away. She wouldn't even look at me. This was going to be harder than I thought its like she has her guard all they way up. She's never been like that before I just hope I can bring it back down. I watched her grab her purse and jacket and I just had to follow her. I totally forgot what I was here for.

"Tia" I yelled following behind her.

Tia

I didn't expect to see Jacob today the last time I saw him was when I cursed him out and kicked him out of my house. I know he wants to apologize and make it work. But I'm exhausted as hell, my body feelings weird, My ex , him. I didnt feel like talking about it. I turned around

"Look Jacob I really don't feel like talking about the situation. You said what you said and meant what you meant

"No, I didn't mean any of it , I was just mad and dumb. I didn't hear you out and I'm sorry as hell" he said

"Apology accepted Jacob good night" I said turning back around. I gently pulled her back "Tia are you serious right now? I'm trying to apologize and you wont give me no wrap" I said in defeat.

"Jacob goodnight" I said letting go of his hand dismissing him.
