For the love of Heaven (ON HOLD)

7|New Thing

(Heaven's homecoming dress at the top)

I walked in the house and went in the kitchen. My mom was sitting at the table eating. I sat next to her at the table.

"Hey mama." I said. She was eating a salad with my daddy's picture next to her.

She looked at me "hey baby."

"You okay?" I asked, surprised that she even responded back to me.

She nodded her head and kept looking at the picture. I wanted to keep her attention away from the picture, even if it was just for a few minutes.

She doesn't know that I'm going to homecoming but I know she'll be excited about it.

"Look mommy I got a dress for homecoming today."

She looked at me and smile a bit "let me see."

I took the dress out of the bag and showed her. She's always wanted me to participate in events like this so she could dress me up like a doll. She even put me in pageants from the time I was 3 months until I was 7 years old. So I hope this would begin to pull her out of her depression.

She held the dress up to look at it. "I love it," Was the only thing she said before she went back to eating.

"Ma, guess what."

She looked at me

"I got a date too."

Her eyes got wide and she begin to smile "really, Heaven?"

"Yes."

Her eyes begin to get teary and she hugged me. "I know your dad would be so proud of you," she said hugging me tighter.

Even though she was cutting off my blood circulation, I didn't mind. This was the first time my mom had showed any affection toward me since daddy died and I was going to enjoy every moment of it. "I love you ma."

"I love you too Heaven," she said finally letting me go

She looked at me and wiped the tears from her eyes "I'm sorry I've been so distracted these past few months, I should've been still living my life even though dad's gone."

"It's okay, as long as you're here now."

She smiled and kissed me on the cheek "so, who's this 'date'?"

"Just this guy who I met at the mall." I said

She laughed "that's it? Just some guy you met at the mall?"

"Yeah," I said shrugging my shoulders.

"Okay." She grabbed the dress from me and looked at it "this looks something I would pick out for you."

"Yeah, I didn't really pick the dress out," I said.

"Yeah you would've probably picked something that was black and went all the way past your knees," she said giggling and I laughed too because she was right, even with my history or pageants.

"Did you find any shoes yet?"

"No. I thought that I would have something in my room that would match."

My mom shook her head "you're always trying to save money just like your father, we have to get you new shoes."

I playfully rolled my eyes "do I really have to get new shoes?"

"Yes! Only the best for my baby!"

I laughed. I got my mom back.

9:00pm

My phone was completely dead by the time I got to my room but, I was so happy that me and my mom were talking, even though the conversation was mostly about homecoming.

I put my phone on the charger and took my clothes off, I grabbed my towel and wrapped it around my naked body and went in the bathroom. I tied my hair up and got in the shower.

After 30 minutes I got and dried my body off I put a large t shirt on and headed to my room. I picked up my phone and laid down. I looked at my phone and seen that I had a missed call, it was from Omar.

I hesitated to call back. For some reason I always got really nervous whenever I would talk to Omar, even though I hid it well. I decided to push my pride aside and call him back.

I put the phone to my ear and nervously bit my lip.

"Hello?" I heard his deep voice and instantly melted on the inside. It sounded like I had woke him up from his sleep.

"O-oh I'm sorry were you asleep?" I asked as if it wasn't obvious.

"Yeah, but it's ok I can talk," He said with his sleepy voice. My inner voice was screaming on the inside.

"Um o-ok. Did you need anything earlier when you called?"

He slightly chuckled "Not really, I just wanted to talk to you, if you don't mind."

I blushed, I don't know why but I did.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"You. I know this kinda sound corny but I wanna know about you baby girl."

I muted my phone and spazzed. I took a deep breath and took the phone off mute "like what?" I asked

"Whatever you'll tell me, you know like your full name, age, birthday, favorite color, etc."

"Ok well my full name is Heaven Ana Carter, I'm 17, my birthday is August 29th, 1999, and my favorite is blue."

He laughed "Okay, I wanna know something else?"

"What?"

"Why are you single?" He asked

I felt my cheeks began to turn red "I don't know, i guess because of how I look."

He got quiet for a second

"..what's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that nobody wants a big girl, like me, everybody wants a girl with a flat stomach and a fat ass and big titties."

He sighed "I don't care about that sh*t tbh, I think you beautiful the way you are ma."

My smile reached from ear to ear "really?"

"Hell yeah," he said

"But why me? I saw all them girls that come in the shop that be all over you."

He chuckled "that's why I like you, you don't throw yourself at me like them other hoes, they only want what's in my pockets."

"What makes you think I don't want that?" I asked probably digging myself in a hole, maybe I should just shut up.

"I know a good girl when I see one."

I smiled.
