Pretty Brown Affair

Chapter 11- Old Friend Visit

     It's August, a month after our family get together, which was nice and disastrous at the same time. Me and my family are back in Mesa, which was a long and awkward drive, and the worst part is, once we hit the door, Lun'elle moved out and into a hotel! Which was crazy as HELL! I understand that he just found out that LJ is not his and he's biologically Stokley's, but we still have a daughter who's biologically yours, Kylen! But, I let him go and I just continued taking care of my motherly duties as usual. After the DNA results, LJ's been keeping in good touch with Stoke, and my daughter is still being herself. But now, school is about to start back and I have to get back in the swing  of things.

     It's the 2nd of August at 1:10 pm, Kylen's hanging with Lunie, LJ is out with his friend that's in his little band, and I'm home alone watching a rerun of crazy ass "Flavor of Love 2", having the laugh of my life. Out of nowhere I heard a knock on the door, I got up and asked, "Who is it?" I heard a voice I recognized, "You know you better open up Jelly Girl!!" I opened the door to see my old high school and college friend Stephanie! "Stephie!!!!", I screamed and gave her the worlds biggest hug. Seeing her cheers me up so much. "Girl, you haven't aged none, you still that beautiful, brown skinned goddess I remembered in high school and college back in the day.", Stephie said walking in as I closed the door behind her. "Me, girl you the one who looks amazing, sit and let's catch up." We sat on my couch and started talking. "So, how's Mr. Christopher Angels?" She replied, "Oh, he's doing fantastic! He's now a Sargent at the Florida navy base, and we just renewed our vows last weekend." "That's fantastic, congratulations." Chris, the one who also went to the Mint Condition concert in '92, was in the navy and once he graduated, he went to basic training camp in Florida in '93, she went to a school in Mesa to get her Masters degree in business. They both got married in '95 and moved in October of that year to Florida, which hurt me forreal because we lost contact, so seeing her again is a dream come true!

     "So, what about you and Lun'elle?" Damn It!! I knew that was coming, may as well tell the truth. I replied, "Well, we're getting a divorce." She gasped, "What!? What happened?" "Well, my past reappeared and bit me in my ass." "Wait a minute, Stokley came back in your life again, I thought that was over with?" I said, "Well, it is as of '98, but Lunie found out that we had an affair and he found out that LJ isn't his." She looked at me with surprise and asked, "LJ's Stokley's?" I nodded "yes" and she started ohhing, "NOOOO!!! You got pregnant by him, it was that intimate?" "Yeah. I thought Lunie was cheating on me with his coworker Wanita Sinclair, which was a lie, so I started trusting Stoke and stopped using rubbers with him." She said, "Girl, I remember that, but I didn't know he got you pregnant, I thought he was pulling out?" "Well, one slip up and LJ was born. We found out last month, it was sad, and after that, I slept with Stoke one last time, even though he's married.", I replied. Stephie shook her head, "Jennifer Coles, you slept with your married ex-lover, what is it about him that made you forget he's married?" I gasped, "Well, he still has that sexy ass confidence that I was always attracted to, and I was missing his touches and kisses. I know I fucked up again by sleeping with him and all, but that night was just right."

     Stephie chuckled and reminisced, "I remember back in '92 after you was gone for 3 weeks, he literally called the police and got a search party to find you. And, I told him that you were with loose legs Cynthia. Girl you had him super scared!" "Yeah, I know."

Flashback to '92 in August

     It was the end of the tour and me and Cynthia was get off at a bus stop. We were gone for 2 whole months, and we came back before school started back. I got my dirty clothes that I had bought and wore in a nice bag I bought, but before I left, Stoke came off the bus to tell me bye. "Jennifer, wait!", he said as I turned around. "Yes babe?" He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me like he was gonna really miss me, and God knows I was gonna really miss him. "Call me once you get home." I replied, "I will. You promise to write to me?" He smiles and replies, "Oh, I will. I got to keep you interested and longing to see me again." I laughed, "You better." We kissed one last time and I stopped because I felt "him" swelling alittle. "I better go huh?" He laughed and replied, "Yeah." We went our separate ways with him telling me before he got on the bus, "Bye my Nubian Queen." I waved and said back, "Bye my Nubian King." They drove off and we walked to call a taxi.
