Honey (A Keith Powers Story)

Chapter 15

Julian

I was with Sevyn the remainder of the morning to help her with the wedding plans. I had about an hour left with her before I went off to my meet and greet at finish line. I had a game tomorrow and I was ready. "I was thinking we wrap these centerpieces around in silk, then we'll add the chandelier filled with roses" Justine explained. Justine was our wedding planner. I looked at the centerpiece and it looked fine to me. I wasn't into all the decor, I told Sevyn she could do whatever she wants with it as long as I see her down the aisle. "Babe do you like these colors? She asked.

"Yeah they're dope, they all look the same" I said. She rolled her eyes looking at Justine. "I-I'm sorry, men just don't know these things" she laughed. "It's alright, will you two excuse me for a second" she said getting up from the table. I watched her leave as I sat back against the wall. "Babe, what's wrong? She asked. She already knew what was wrong but I didn't feel like talking about it. I adjusted my hat "Nothing babe, I'm just watching you do you" I said.

"Don't hold anything in Ju" she said.

"I'm good" I ensure her. Her worrisome look changed back to smile as she looked back at the centerpieces.

"I'm so glad we finally found the hall, it's going to be epic" she smiled at me. I smiled back at her poking her cheek. "So since Honey is your photographer now. Why don't you see if she can take pictures at the wedding" she suggested. My eyes widened a little at her idea, that would he awkward as hell. "Ehh not a good idea" I said. "Why not? She asked. "That is .. your event photographer" she said.

"Yeah she is but not for that, I actually know a guy. I want to do the photography" I mentioned. "Ummm look at you being all proactive. I like that" she smirked.

"I'm always proactive baby, where you been at? I asked.

Later that Day

"Oh my goodness just shut your mouth girl" Jeff said. "Can you just go with me? I begged him. Ever since our little argument the tension grew even more tense. The photo-shoot never got done, nor did we start the documentary. Julian made up some excuse to for the reason but I know it was because of me. If it doesn't get better, I'll just quit all together.

"Why do you need me at a meet greet? He asked. "I- just don't-

"Uhhh you wanna be acting all scary now. You kept running that mouth of yours and you can't take the consequences" he said. I rolled my eyes sitting in the car. "Na uh" I said.

"Girl, you don't need me there. I might just take your hubby away from you with his fine ass. GOD I wish he was gay" he said. "He's not my hubby" I said.

"Bitch please! You know you want him to be" he said.

"Whatever Jeff, imma text you the address" I said. "Who said I was coming?

"I did it, now hurry up. This thing starts in 30" I said. "You owe me chipotle" she said. "I'll give you all the chipotle in the world" I said before hanging up.

Julian

I sat in the car looking at all the DM's and tweets I was getting from my supporters. Them telling me how much they looked up to me had me feeling great and thankful. This was nothing but GOD putting me in the position that I'm in. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rung.

"This girl right here" I said putting her on speaker. "Hey wassup" I answered.

"Hey where are you by? I wanted to get you going in the shoe store" she said. "I'm in the parking lot in front of the Macy's" I said.
