○●Ciara●○

"Alright .. bae. I'll text you."

He kissed me , I smiled.
Then I got out and scurried in the house before my dad came home.
When I got in I made SURE I locked the door.

Wow... Jax is my boyfriend!!!!!

Skips 9 months ahead.

○●Dana●○

So... it's been NINE MONTHS YALL.

The police had found finger prints or my door knob and the finger prints identified, Lynnette. My home owners insurance took care of the repair costs and my house is fine. The church was in shock. The Assistant Pastor was embarrassed he hadn't showed up to church for 2 weeks after that. Being that his Wife is a cheater and also a criminal. Eric had told me about 4 weeks ago Ciara is dating The Assistant Pastor's son. I wasn't in shock but he sure was. He has to get used to it. Anyway, back to my life. Our (Eric & I) relationship has been going Soooooo well. Eric I go on LOTS OF romantic dates and our Anniversary trip is coming up. Prior to these nine months. The Sunday before my birthday is found out Eric had financially demolished the cost of the shop I wanted. I now own and Manage Heaven's Sweet Bakery. From time to time. Anyway again though,
Who wants to be cohabiting knowing temptation is at stake ? No one.
So we're currently living apart and.... we're engaged. |Gasps|ikr... shocking.
He bought me this big 24ct, Diamond square cut and proposed about a month ago. Of course I said yes! Why would I turn him down he's been SOOOOOO generous, loving, kind, patient, caring,considerate, empathetic, sympathetic, humorous.. and etc.
You know it's a lot more where that came from.

So...

Sighs taking a breath.

I know I talk to much but, I had to let you know what's going on.

I'm packing my back now. It's about 7:15 in the evening. Eric's on the phone with me.

"Baby, don't tell me you packing all those shoes."

I giggled.
"Eric, what? I need these shoes to match what I have to wear."

He sighed in frustration.

"Aight. Fine. But if you lose a pair I'm not replacing them."

I rolled my eyes. He could be so simple sometimes.
Shimple Shimon.

"Eric please, who in their right mind loses a pair of shoes? No let me rephrase that. What woman ?"

"Baby, don't worry about it I don't think you're gonna lose a pair of shoes. But make sure you have a week's worth of clothing packed up."

"Alright, alright already."

"Alright I love you sweetheart. I'll talk to you later."

"I love you too honey, ttyl."
We hang up.

My zipper was about to get stuck on this thing.
I'm grunting as I try and zip it up but it's kind of too full.
"Unggh."

I jumped to sit on it but I slipped and fell.

"Ouch."
I said mocking the voice on SpongeBob.
I heard a knock on my door.
I got up, and before I was on my way I used about all my muscle to zip my suitcase up.

I dusted myself a lil bit and went to the door. "Who is it?"

"Open this door Dee."

It had to be someone that knew me.
I opened the door.
It was my mom.

I was shocked. I let her in and closed the door locking it right after.

"He-Heeey moom."
My mom hasn't spoken to me since I was doing my own thing out here. She disowned me because I was the one thing she hated about her mother.
A Hoe.

I smiled nervously looking at her as she got comfortable on my couch.

"H-How'd you find me ? Who told you live here? And W-why... what are you doing here?" Don't mind my choice of words I hadn't had anything against my mom. But she was the one person I least expected to see at my door. I would've accepted Alicia or maybe even Bobby, but not Daliah.

She had her legs crossed chewing gum.
"Don't be asking me all kinds of questions Dana. Why haven't you called me and told me the news?"

I was confused. I mean I had my grand opening of my shop, but I NEVER. I mean EVER expected her to show up because she had heard about my success.
I folded my arms.
"Ma, what are you talking about?"

She sat up straight.

"What is all this neck and eye rolling action I see going on ? I'm talking about your Bakery... my baby is the owner of the most famous Bakery in the state!" She got up and hugged me tight.

I had my hands straight down. And my eyes were widened like I've never widened them before.
Since when did Daliah Care about my success? The last I heard from her she did wanna see me at all.

Flashback

"Dana Jaliah Brooks! What the heck is going on with you? You run around town giving your... what use to be innocence away! And the people on my job looking at me like I'm the blame ? Like I didn't teach you opposite! You know what ? I don't know you.... Get out and I never wanna see your face again." She made me get all my stuff by 5 o'clock and leave her house. I had a phone and the only three Men I could call were Randall, Terrell , and  Mike G.

I chose Mike G Cause he had the most money and he was generous unless you got on his bad side.

Flashback over

And that's the last time I saw my mom until now. Which was about 10 years ago.

"Well Dana,  what's the matter with you ?  You don't act so excited to see me."

She let go of me and I sighed putting my hand on my forehead.
"That's cause I'm not."

She frowned.
"And how so?"

I walked in the room to get my suitcase and walked back out with it bringing it to the living room setting it near the door.
She had followed me there and back, then I said. "That's because the last time I saw you, you threw me out. Darn near left me to the deaths of the world."

She put her hands on her hip.
"I had to. What else was I supposed to do? You had embarrassed me and my reputation. I couldn't look like a bad person because of your decisions Dana. It was to teach a lesson and Luckily you learned."

She was trying to hug up on me but I'm just like unh unhhh. Back up off me.
"And you call having STD's and Being raped and left for dead a lesson ? Riiiiiight."

"Dana what was I supposed to do? Huh?"

"Do what a mother does... suffer for your child because everyone knows when you give birth it's not about you anymore. Your life is not your own. That's what being a mother is all  about, but you're so blind mentally you don't even know. Thank God he sent someone in my life that I love dearly and thank him for... to straighten my life and turn it around. So I wouldn't be thrown to the wolves anymore."

"Dana, how could you diss ms politely?" She gave  me and "I was can't believe you look."

"I was dissing , being disrespectful or anything. I was just being honest. Just ... pouring out my feelings, kind of like you did ten years ago? Mhm. I would like for you to leave. I'm going on a very important trip. And I have to finish packing before my Fiancé chews me alive." I had the door open for her to leave and sighed very  emotionally drained from her just then. She threw her hands up. In surrender walking towards the door. But she stopped at me first saying.

"Remember Dana, you'll need the ones you mistreat."

I nodded my head up a "Oh really?" kind of way and said. "You should tell yourself that. I am the head and never the tail."

Yes God do your thing!!
