Chapter 24

                                                       Anastasia 

I was going to meet up with my mom today. She had a lot of news for me. She decided to meet up at a hospital where her family friend would be. She said it was important and urgent. I got ready in a simple and comfortable outfit and soon left.

Pulling up, I did the regular and grabbed my green tea that I had got from the house and made my way inside. My mom was waiting in the lobby for me and when I got there I gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek before going towards the cafeteria they had.

They had fast food restaurants in here, so lots of different foods to eat. We sat down in a nearby seat that was by a fountain they had in the place. Who puts a fountain in a hospital cafeteria?

Obviously, they did.

"So, whats up mom.." I mumbled.

"Remember the night you and your sister fought?" I smacked my teeth but nodded anyways. She sighed.

"I was crying because, your father.." she said.

"Why you crying over him?" I rolled my eyes, annoyed.

"Hes dying Anastasia, and thats why we’re here today. I want you to talk to him. He needs all of his kids, and we all know you need him. Today’s the day you stop stressing and live your life…"

"… and when it comes to the time for him to pass, you will regret it because you didn’t have the chance to be closure and become as one with him." she said before slightly smiling. I could talk to him, just this once.

"Fine, but if he gets out of hand I am leaving. My doctor told me to be stress free." I said sternly while pointing at her and she nodded quickly. 

"I hear you baby girl." she said before getting up to drag me to his room. After minutes of cutting halls and going up an elevator we made it to his room. Of course I took deep breaths and braced myself for this.

She opened the door and we walked in. All the anticipation and nervousness vanished. It was just… me. That girl who was lost for all these years. I was finally getting what I’ve wanted all these years. I was about to hug my father. The dad that tore me away from my mom but I found her and I wasn’t giving up my family this time. 

I walked up to his bed and watched as the smile appeared on his face.

Smack! My hand collided on his face, and then again. I wanted to smack that smirk off his face. 

So I did.

"You know as much as I think you deserved that, I should’nt have done it." I mumbled as I went to sit down. Call it an awkward moment.

"You damn right…’ he coughed.

"Now, Anastasia I didn’t expect you to be here and as much as I would love to get up and take you to an amusement park like I did when you were little I can’t. I’m dying from Alzheimer’s. I wish I would’ve told you earlier but your mom wanted it to be a secret until you were ready." He said and I nodded.

"How long?"

"About 2 years of life span left. You know Alzheimer’s isn’t as bad as people make of it. Its like I remember but I’ll forget and than maybe I’ll remember another day but that day doesn’t come." He said with a slight frown on his face. I felt so bad for me slapping him.

"Don’t feel bad for me at all," he read my mind.

"I can’t help but feel like I should, daddy. You have to understand, here I am slapping you and your dying! See it’d be different if you had cancer or even pneumonia but your dying." my voice cracked. "I can’t save you and I can’t even say sorry, you may die tomorrow."

"You may die as soon as I leave out of this room and guess what? I have I control over it. I want to hate you so bad and call you names out of the book, but I can’t."

"Then hate me Ana! But forgive me first. I’d hate to die with a burden on my soul." He told me as he raised his right hand and put it on his heart.

"I want to hate so many people daddy but I can’t. I forgive too easily and I want to change that. People hurt me so much and they just don’t see it." I said as the first tear dropped. I can’t believe I am crying. I didn’t want to cry and I didn’t want to hurt anymore but that’s all that seems to happen when I am trying to fix my life.

"I see it and truthfully you don’t Ana. Nobody is hurting you but yourself. Your mom comes in here and tells me what’s going on with your soon to be husband and all your doing is pushing him away. She told me she talked to the young man and even held a conversation and you know what, she told me that he told her that y’all were putting up an act and really wasn’t together at all. You’re lying to your family for what reason? We are not here to impression. We love you. " he said as the tears dropped from his eye, but he stayed together unlike me, the one who was damn near sobbing. 

"I love y’all too, so much. Y’all have shown me so much love since I’ve came here and you just don’t understand." I smiled as I began to sniffle hard. The tears still came every now and then but not as much.

"That’s what family is for.." 

                                               *** 

I walked into Adrian’s house for it to be dark. I walked up the stairs and to his bedroom for it to be even darker, the shades were drawn forward so no light from outside was coming inside.

Next thing I saw was a lighter and I flinched as candles were lit. 

Then a clap startled me as the soft music of Marvin Gaye came through my ears causing me to hum lightly then this fine ass man named Adrian came towards me. 

"Hello beautiful.." he said as he passionately kiss me making me pull away in bliss. This kiss was like no other. "You enjoyed your day, love?" all these pet names were cute.

"Yes baby it was. I want to tell you all about it." I said as he walked me over to the bed and sat me down. 

"You can after I make love to you.." he whispered in my ear. I was wet than and there. Nodding, I leaned up and kissed his lips, and it turned hungrier but smooth and passionate. His arms wrapped around my waist and went down to my ass.

"Yo ass real plum in these leggings.." he grumbled and squeezed them lightly. I giggled and let him suck lightly on my neck.

"I want to show you how much I appreciate you because your the most beautiful woman I laid eyes on, and the fact we’re going to be engaged and married soon scares me sometimes just thinking about it but through it all you’d taken me back even when I acted foolish and selfish towards you babe. Your the only woman I love and will ever love, and for eternity if you let me I will be the man to have more of your kids, and marry and show you how to be somebody’s soul mate because your everything to me, Anastasia Reid. You have no idea how much I want to make love to you.." he said as he stopped sucking on my neck and told me as I began to tear up and eventually let the tear thats been urging to fall let go, fall.

"Thank you so much, baby. I love you with all my heart and I know we’ll be the best parents we can be. You have me crying and its all tears of joy, so no worries. I want you to love and hold me even through the bad. nothing’s going to break us apart because I love you with every little and big piece of me. I love you.

"I love you too baby." he said as he began to peel the clothes of me slowly.

I love this man with everything in me and nothing is going to break up apart.
