Meant To Be (Urban)

Meant To Be_3 Part 1

  I was in the midst of good sleep when I heard banging on my door.I cursed under my breath,and looked beside me to see Joseph laying down resting in a peaceful sleep.The banging continued,and I wondered who that can be.I slowly rised out of my bed,trying to not wake up Joseph,but he is a a heavy sleeper so I don't have to be so careful.I got out of the bed,and walked out to the livingroom.Whoever this person is sure loves to knock because they didn't stop.I looked through the peephole only to see Ms.Shirley.I already knew what she wants:money.

  I opened the door with a smile on my face trying to cover the sadness that I felt.Lord knows I didn't have the money,and lord knows that I if I get evicted where would I go.

"Good morning Ms.Shirley"I tried not to talk so much because I didn't even brush my teeth.

"Goodmoring Eva, now I'm going to say it as nice as I can,I haven't received your rent money and I need now,or you will get evicted."

"Come inside,and I will give it to you"

  Rent was $450,I only lived in a 1 bed and 1 bath apartment.I just hope that I have this money.I moved out the way of the doorway to invite her in.As she was comfortable on the couch I went in the room to look for my little shoebox that I always keep in my closet covered up.It's where I keep all of my rainy day money.All the change that I receive I keep it in there.

  As I took out all the money I counted it all,and I was short by $170.I was screwed.I have money in my bank so hopefully she accepts checks.I digged in my purse,and grabbed my checkbook.I wrote out a check for $450 to Ms.Shirley,and got back up,and headed to the livingroom where she waited patiently.

"Oh I thought you ran away or something."She said

"I don't have it in cash right now so I wrote out a check"

"I'm sorry Eva,but I don't accept checks cash only"

"Ma.Shirley I don't have the money right now I'm short $170.Please just give me until next week I get my paycheck next week,and I promise you when I get here you would be the first person I go to."I was on the verge of tears.

"I'm sorry Eva,but rules are rules.You had me waiting for this money for over a month now,and I have been very reasonable with you."

"Look my son is sleeping in the room,and I don't need him seeing this just until next week please."

"I'm sorry I appreciate you staying here,but you will get a notice tomorrow,and you will have two days to leave.I'm sorry to say,and I'm sorry for your son to see this."She handed me back the check,and turned towards the door.I couldn't do anything,but cry.I have three days to find out where I would be staying.

  All of a sudden my phone rang.It was my father.The last time I talked to him was on Joseph birthday which was a couple months ago.

"Hello"I said.

"Heu sweety why are you crying"

"My rent is way overdue,and I have to move out"I said getting straight to the point which only made me cry harder.

"Sweety you know you & Joseph can move in with me."

"Mom wouldn't accept that,and you know that"

"Mom,and I divorced"

"YOU GUYS WHAT"I couldn't believe my ears.

"Why didn't you tell me"

"I knew that you wouldn't care so I just didn't tell you I guess"

"Well are you sure we can move in"

"Of course sweety I don't mind you guys company,and plus me and Joseph can do grandfather-grandson type of things like go to the Heat game tonight"

"I'm sure he would love that"

"Yes I have three courtside tickets,obe for me,Joseph,and you if you would like to go"

"I think it would make me feel better thanks dad,and who did you get courtside tickets.No offense,but you don't have money like that"

"My friend works at the box office,and gave me a discount for them."

"Okay well I think that we'll come over today,and move some stuff in."

"Olay sweety I'll ve here all day,and the game starts at 8."

"Okay dad love you bye"

"Bye"

  I love my dad.What I love about him more was that he learned to accept ne having a child.Telling my parents that I was pregnant was a hard thing to do,and when I did they was pissed.My mom was beyond pissed.They recommended me getting an abortion,but I wasn't having that.I don't believe in it.To make the long story short me and my mom stopped talking,and my dad accepted being a grandfather.

=============================

I had moved in all of our clothes,and shoes into my dad home.My dad is a chef,and for the money he makes his place was nice.Three bedroom,and two baths.The rooms were already furnished with TVs,beds,and dressers.So I decided that all of the furniture over at the apartment I would sell it so I can get some money off of it.It was getting late,and we the game was going to start in an hour.

  I had just finished taking a shower,and now I was decided on what to wear.We are going to be courtside,and you never know celebrities are going to be there.I decided on a red long sleeve crop top,and the shoulders were cut off,I wanted to wear my high waisted acid wash skinny jeans,and my low red chucks.I was just going to flat iron my hair,and apply some makeup because my acne was bad.After I was done getting ready I was satisfied.I grabbed my black Micheal Kors purse,and went downstairs.

  Going downstairs I see Joseph looking adorable wearing a heat Jersey,with a number 7 which was Jermaine number.My dad probably chose that one for him since he is the only one that knows Jermaine is my babydaddy.Along with his shirt he wore true religion pants that I bought him for his birthday,and the red,black,and white Jordan Son of Mars shoes.He also wore his heat snapback.My dad was wearing a White heat shirt that had all of the players faces on them,black jeans,and the red,black,and white Jordan Son of Mars just like Joseph.We all looked so good.

"Group picture"I yelled out.

"We took a whole bunch of pictures together,me by myself,me with Joseph,me with my dad,Joseph by himself,my dad by himself,Joseph and my dad,and us all together.This was definitely and Instagram moment.
