For The Love Of Money

CHAPTER 15

I've been spendin months tryin to get this this wedding together. Its very stressful and I just want it all done before I get too big.

The guest list is probably the easiest task to do. Rashaad's family and friends are comin obviously.  But I only invited my sister and a few friends from high school.

"London are you done with the guess list yet? We need to get this thing started. You showin already and I'm gettin impatient." Rashaad said sittin on the couch next to me.

"Yea. Well I need you to look over it. I don't know your family too well. I only have Mercedes and 5 other friends from high school coming " I responded

"Damn really? Nobody wants to show up?"

"What do you mean? They're the only people invited."

"Baby why wouldn't you want to invite your family. I'm sure you want your dad to wa-"

"I don't have a dad! My dad died a year ago."

"London you know what I mean man. We both know havin your dad walk down the aisle would mean the world to both of you. Your mom would want yo be there for you, and I'm sure Krystal would wanna be a brides maid. Come on baby you gotta move on from that shit and just forgive people. You see how Tony died before you even knew he was your dad. Life too short to hold grudges. I'm not sayin you have to forget but if you just be the bigger person and reach out to them you'll feel alot better " Rashaad said trying to comfort me.

Even tho I did want to hear it it he was right. Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of how my wedding would be. And I'm gettin old enough to stop holding grudges. Thats one thing I love about Rashaad. He's older than me and more mature. He makes me want to grow up.

"You know what? You're right. Ill call them now" I said takin my cell phone and walkin into the kitchen.

I dialed Krystal 1st. The phone rung twice and then she picked up

Hello?

Hey. Its London

Oh my God! London I haven't talked to you in forever. Look I'm real sorry abo-

It's ok. I didn't call for that. Rashaad proposed to me and-

Oh my god. Congratulations! I'm really happy for you

Thanks. I was just callin to invite you to the wedding. If you want to come ill send you an invitation. Oh and when you come please don't bring up what happened. I'm over it.

I promise. I'm glad you  invited me. I miss you

Well I gotta go. See ya later

I hung up. I gotta admit... I'm still hurt over the situation.

Next I callled my parents. My dad picked up.

Hello? Michael speaking.

Dad...

London? London baby is that you? I haven't heard from you in so long. Do you know how much your mother and I worry about you?  How are you? Do you need anything?

I'm fine dad. I was just calling to tell you that I forgive you and I'm moving on with my life. Where's mom?

I'm right here honey! Baby I love you so much and I'm sorry for everything. London sweety please call us more often. We need to hear from you and know that you're ok.- My mom said through the phone

I will. I really called to tell you guys that your gonna be grandparents soon and that Rashaad and I are gettin married. I would love for you to come. And dad it would mean everything to me if you would walk me down the aisle.

There's nothin in this world I rather do. We have good news for you too. Ive been in rehab for a while and I stopped drinking. And me and your mother have been goin to marriage counseling. Our marriage is much more stronger.

I'm glad to hear. Um I have to go now but ill stay in touch

We love you-all they at the same time and we hung up
