As I Am.......By Kennie Ellis

Chapter 11

I know it was late but I felt I had to call ME and apologize for Lisa's behavior.   While on my way I called ME the voice mail came on. I just hung up I didn't try to leave a message. Were her Paul getting serious? I bet it was him who sent the flowers!!! I thought about all kinds of things on my way home and all of those things included Mennettha Ellis.

It was Sunday I was tired but I had to give the Lord his time. I got up to take a shower the phone ranged it was Troy yelling !!! I've been calling you and DJ all weekend what the hell why didn't you pick up. For your information I've been busy. Although I did try to call Saturday to let you know I was having a business lunch with Mr.Higgins it appeared you were occupied. ME I got a ...Save it Troy it's cool I just wanted to keep you updated. Sooooo how did the lunch go it went well I think we've got it. He has to go over the proposal with his father and mother but it looks like we have our sponsorship. That's fantastic ME you did it no we did it... I going to pray hard today that it all happens for us. Ok I called you up until midnight so the lunch and presentation lasted that long. No silly I had a date,with who  Mr. Higgins ?  No!!!!! why would you think that ..with Paul the guy from the Weekend, We went to BB Kings to here the band I had a great time. I felt a certain type of way.. I realized all these years I've remained in the friend zone . I have to admit just the last year I've seen DJ ME's sister differently I'm now realizing I've stayed in that zone too long. She sees me as her buddy and ME as her  business partner I would love to try for more with DJ but I don't want it to get weird or destroy what we've build. However I'm protective ass hell when it comes to both of them. I'm not letting no playa use or fuck with her. I know ME is smart but I don't know how smart she is  when it comes to matters of the heart and playing ass Men. ME's had a hard time with the matters of the heart and just some  horrific events in her child good that's made it difficult for her to trust men.

I've watched over the years ME's confidence change, because of this organization the kids and families she is more determined as hell as  an advocate she's  people driven and confident in her  ability to help them reach their full potential. I think in helping them she was subconsciously healing herself. I love and respect her and I always will, I can and will stay in my zone but I will let no one hurt her.  I'm getting my butt up to go to church as when prayers go up blessings come  down, and I had a lot to pray about and on. .  Sunday was a Blessed day DJ made it home I told her about my date and Michael. I invited Troy over for dinner since I ignored him yesterday . I cooked roast and potatoes, turipet greens, macaroni and cheese, corn bread, boil corn, and sweet tea. We had banana banana pudding for dessert.  We 3 spent Sunday trippin, and enjoying the afternoon. Hmmm I noticed that DJ and Troy make a great looking couple. They are always fronting each other but they get along well... 

DJ and Troy did the dishes I could hear them burning on each other and trippin.in the kitchen I was listening to the new 102.2fm station called the Ville it plays the great old school R& B and some new. Look DJ Troy said I don't want your sister hurt she's my partner and one of my dear friends. Trust Me Troy she's fine. If you say so I'm just saying. Troy are you in love with my sister ? Damm that was blunt DJ didn't believe in pulling punches or pussy footing around with anything anybody or any subject. When she asked me I looked at DJ I mean really looked at DJ since we were close washing DJ and I seen something different in her eyes it caught me off guard. Ahhh I do love your sister (in her low voice) oh I see, no I love her like a sister that's it...  DJ look at me I do love your sister and always will as my best friend and business partner . DJ looked into Troy's eyes and before you know their lips locked the kiss was well overdue he's been knowing DJ just as long as ME..They have always tripped with each other but that kissed opened a new chapter between the two one defiantly worth exploring and I'm going to.

DJ and Troy came out of the kitchen with a funny look on their faces I had a feeling they both had embarked on something new in there but I didn't press it I was tired, excited and nervous about tomorrow.I called it an early night I left those two up by themselves. .....I'll see you at work Troy and you tomorrow DJ they both threw up their hands and said goodnight never taking their eyes off each other oh boy have my sis fell in love. Look DJ what just happened in the kitchen I ...I .. Look Troy I've liked you since the first time I met you it seemed you only seen me as the playful play sister. DJ I've like you since day one but you were always with someone, I wanted to say something but i did'nt wantt hings to be adquate or change.(Troy walked towards her) so where do we go from here? They embraced in another deep passionate kiss and DJ lead him to her bedroom..
