At the local arcade

Playing ...lazer tag .

"Bow !" I gotchu! I started running to find hiding spots.

"Oops. Sorry baby" He shot me and it said game over.

"Aww mannnnn."

We walked outside returning the equipment.
Eric had his hand around my shoulder while we were walking.
"That was fun wasn't it baby?"
I shrugged trying not to think about my shop.
"Yeah it was pretty fun."
We ended up outside waiting for the driver.
"Where's your ring?"
I decided to tick him off real quick. Pretending that I didn't have my ring on my finger right now.
"I left it."
His eyes bucked open.
"You What.....?"
"It's on the bed in the suite."
"Danny I need you to circle back to the suite." Before I could say anything he swerved the car doing a u-turn.

"Great goodness."
I held on to the sides of the car.
"Babe, I was just joking look."
"Not now baby I'm focusing."
I sighed. And we arrived at the hotel.
"ERIC LOOK. I HAVE THE RING "
He turned around and let out a big deep breath.

"Oh thank you God..." He held his chest like he was about to have a heart attack.

"Why'd you do that?"
"I just wanted to seeyour reaction."
"That's not cool."

15 1/2 hours later.

"Babe you ready to go home ?" I turned around.

"Home? This was such a short trip.. I though we were going to another state after?"

"Nah, we have some business to take care of . And Ciara just told me her mom had came by the house."

I shook my head.
"Why is it that every time you and I get alone time to ourselves... everyone around us starts going crazy like ceaser on the planet of the apes ?"

He chuckled a bit coming to wrap his hands around my waist.

"God has plans for us baby. Just trust it and stop worrying about every least little thing that gets in the way. We're gonna be married longer than our vacation so I'm sure it will be more than enough time for us to vacation again sweetheart."

"Blah blah blah. You say that now." I started walking to pack up bags.

"Everyone always messing with us. We just got married like geez. Something has to be going on."

I said right before Eric's phone buzzed.
"Hello, what's going on now Cynthia?"

I shook my head packing bags.
Cynthia is his assistant. She's what a use to be. Maybe that's why I had a little mercy on her for trying to sleep with Eric a few months ago.
Promiscuity... mmm. Mm. M.

"Baby... baby!!" Eric snapped me right out of my thoughts about Cynthia.

"Oh, sorry yes ?"

He handed me his phone.
"Yes?" I answered. The assistant pastor's wife was on the phone.

"Hey I just wanted to apologize. I was going crazy and forgot the root of where to turn when something had went wrong. I didn't mean to do all this stuff  to you. I realized that, I really thought I was perfect. Forgetting about the promiscuous woman that Jesus had forgiven and that people was judging. John 8:7 let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I'll never forget. But I hope and pray you can forgive me and I'm getting myself together working on forgiveness from my son and my future ex husband.. thanks Dana."

"For what exactly."

"The situation helped me learn a lesson. You were most beneficialto me in that period of time."

"No hard feelings , I have nothing against you. God bless you Lynette."

"Thank you , same to you Dana. Oh tell your mom I said hello."

We hang up.

Well that's a new one.. my mom and I aren't even on speaking terms.
Yeah, by the way I do need to fix that.

"Here honey let me finish this bag."

○●Ciara●○

"Girl move. Stop playing so much."
Jaxon had a attitude because I convinced my auntie to let me put an extra hot pepper in his spaghetti. And just a few minutes ago it stopped burning.

So now I'm tickling him and he got a attitude.
"Jax, come on... stop being a wuss."

"Who you calling wuss little girl watch out." He pushed me off him with A Little force.

I got mad.
So I jumped up standing over him.

"HOLD UP DAVE THE BARBARIAN, DON'T BE TRYING TO PUSH ME."

He chuckled like something was funny so I got closer. He held his right hand up.
"Cmon... watch out bruh I'm trying to watch tv.".

"Well I wonder if you'll be able to watch it from outside. You can go call your dad to come get you. Get out."

I walked upstairs and slammed my door.
"CIARA WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE."

"Nothing auntie I'm good don't even worry about it."

"Bae... Ciara I know you ain really mean that! Come back down here I wanna talk to you."
I'm ignoring him. I don't wanna talk right now.

We on the plane on the way back and I asked Dana a question.

"Out of all this time and everything we been through tell me what you learned."

"That God fulfills his promises."

"And....? Be specific go into detail we not gone get no where with one sentence Dana."

"Okay... well. I learned that patience and faith both tie in together  and represent each other. And out of all this time of me looking for love in the wrong places sleeping around. God had the one man for me right in front of my  face for a long time.
I learned to trust him because trusting him gave him more reason to fulfill my needs. It's always his timing it's not ours, and putting God first in everything we do... helps him recognize that we acknowledge him  and when he said he loves us he means that. God is amazing. Our King Jehovah. And to sit here and look back on my life now I can tell you...
I'm Never Forsaken.
