Family Ties

Say'ri

Roberta's POV
Two months later...

As I'm in the dance studio dancing I look at my jelly bean who is turning one soon. But I'm also having flashbacks of two months ago... The morning after that amazing day and night...

I woke up and looked up at my husband who I guess you can say "put me in my place" . I get up and go to the restroom but walk past our full mirror and just stare.... That's all I can do is stare at the marks that are left on my body.. The love bites that occurred there last night as he took me back to 1984 . My voice is scratchy and my face is flushed, my lips are swollen, I enjoyed myself bit too much hahaha if that's even possible. As I'm staring at myself in the mirror I let my hair down and watch it flow down my back and then I took a good look at my ring on my left hand. I shake my head and walked to the bathroom the best way I can because he made me loose my feeling in my legs. I turn on the water and step in the shower . As the hot water is going down my hair and body I felt a body behind me and begin to wash my hair.... My husband is the best you all!!!!

Me: hmmm that feels lovely ..
Mike : that's the least I can do after the show you put in last night. It's still your day babe.
Me: thank you so much I could never repay you for the things I you do for me.
Mike: when I put that ring on your finger I made a life long commitment to take care of you whether you are OK or you're sick. It's my job to do this.
Me: thank you honey.
Mike: I love you
Me: I love you too

Flashback ends...

I'm now done in the dance studio. I recently found this trail that leads to mount Katherine and I started taking that trail. It's really peaceful when you get there. I start walking I'm now out of the main gates and as I'm walking I see a bike... Wait... A... Bike? I walk further and see a little girl sitting peacefully by a tree... Drawing..?

Me: hello?!

Little girl: oh... Hello Mrs. Jackson. I didn't mean to disturb you ummm...

Me: oh hello, no please stay, I'm the one who needs to be apologizing to you. How long have you been sitting here?

Little girl : oh OK I just got here not to long ago, I'm Say'ri.

Me: that's a pretty name. are you hungry, thirsty,? And you want to know something really cool?

Say'ri : thanks but yeah I'm kinda hungry but I'm not that far from home I can wait. And what's that?

Me: oh no I can take you back with me and I'll get you something to eat. It's no problem at all. Oh and my daughter middle name is Sarai it's the same as your name it's just spelled differently.

Say'ri : oh OK thank you and really?! That's cool. How old is she?

Me: no problem honey and she is 10 months, she'll be one next month.

Say'ri: oh really when next month?

Me: the 28th, why? When your birthday?

Say'ri: wow ! I asked because mines is the 22nd of August.

Me: wow that's cool. How often do you come up here?

Say'ri: yeah that's amazing and I have been coming here for a few weeks now. I found this trail. I knew it was by Michael Jackson house but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it so I thought that if I come and go I wouldn't get caught but I was so busy working on my drawing that I didn't know I was up here that long.

Me: oh no baby, you're fine. How old are you if you don't mind me asking ?

Say'ri: oh OK thanks Mrs. Jackson and I'm 9 years old.

Me: you can call me Roberta . It makes me feel old and wow you're a mature little girl. Mind if I ask you where is your parents just in case they start to wonder where you are.
