Flow

I stared at the number I just registered into my phone. Mojo's number. Its been so long since I've talked to her I don't even know if this is her number anymore. I'm not ready to let go though. I miss her like hell.

Opening up a new thread, I typed a few words and halted before I pressed send. What if she doesn't respond? What if she's moved on? I shouldn't do this. Fuck it Flow, you might as well.

I press send and place the phone face down in the passenger seat. I start up my car and head over to the center where Aesha is. I have fallen in love with the kids and the opportunity to work with such talented young people has been a blessing. They really have kept me busy and I've appreciated it so much. Between school, work and helping out Aesha, I don't have much time for anything else. Besides miss Mojo.

Pulling up to the center, I see a few familiar faces standing outside talking. I grin and freeze up when I hear my phone buzz. My heart starts beating fast as I reach for my phone. I pick it up and see 'New Message' across my screen.

Before I could unlock my phone, a tap on my window startles me. It was a kid from the center. Brittney. I smile and get out, putting my phone in my pocket.

"Hey, Ms. Flow. I was wondering if I could talk to you before we go in?"

"Sure, what's going on Brit?"

We walk over to a bench and sit down to talk.

Mojo

"Yanna is still asleep?" I ask over the phone. Tiana and I are suppose to be surprising Hannah with her first toy jeep. Its her birthday. She's going to love it.

"Yeah, I mean I just got up. Last night was crazy."

"I can imagine." I laugh. I hear her giggle. "Just get my baby up and ready, please. I'll be there in 15."

"Okay. See you then." We hang up.

Before I sit my phone down, I notice a message. I open it up. I have no clue who it is because the number isn't saved in my phone.

Then as I read the message, it hit me. I knew exactly who this was texting me:

Flow: Hey, its been awhile.. I know things escalated quickly..I can't even muster up the right words to explain why I'm nervous writing this.. or if in gonna send it. But if you're reading this, I guess I had enough strength to send it . If you can, shoot me a text back? I'd like to talk."

BEEEEEP!!

Some jerk behind me was honking his horn behind me. I sit there not caring about that. All I could do was stare at my phone in shock.

After a few seconds, I pull off and head to Tiana's. Could this be Flow? It has to be. I hope it is. What am I gonna say to her? What is there to say?

I pull into the drive wah of Tiana's crib and shut off the car. I grab my phone and prepare to text back. I try not to write a book. After typing and sending the message, I close my phone and stick it in my pocket.

Tiana is holding Yanna in her arms as I walk in.

"Mamaaaaa!!" Tiana puts her Yanna down and she runs up to me. She calls me mama now. It brightens my day to hear her call me that.

"Hey big girl! Happy birthday!" I smile and kiss her cheek.

Yanna is looking at me sadly. "Mama, why you crying?" She touches my face.

I hadn't even noticed I was crying back in the car or the way here. I quickly wipe my face.

"Oh I'm just happy to have you in life." I tell her. That was true, but the current reason is because the love of my life has contacted me. Its been... hell idk how long its been.

Tiana stares at me. I grin and roll my eyes playfully. "I'm good, okay? Mama's good." I tell Yanna.

We head to the living room. Yanna shows me some of her pictures she colored for me. Tiana is still staring at me as if she knows its something much deeper.

If only she knew..
