Honey (A Keith Powers Story)

Chapter 53: Lifestyle

Honey

I smiled holding my niece in my hand. Harmony was finally here and she was so precious. She looked like a combination of Hen and I wish was scary. It was 12 pm at night and although I wanted to say a little longer I had to go to work in the morning. "She's so precious" Julian smiled. "Wanna hold her? I asked. "Y-yeah" he sat back down on the chair. I lightly rested her near his chest. "Aww somebody has babyfever" Hennessy smiled. He smiled "Yeah... we're getting there" he looked over at me. I hoped so, I was okay with us not having kids right now. I want to get married first and take our time but the other half wants one and I've been having some complications. We've been trying and I just can't get pregnant. I know its god's timing but I'm just scared I'm unable to have kids. "Well we gotta get going," Julian said getting up. Hennessy took her from him. "Okay, good luck on your match Saturday. You got this" he said. I rubbed his shoulder "Yeah, he got this" I smiled looking at him. "I will see you tomorrow" I walked over kissing her cheek. "Okay," she smiled. I couldn't believe Hennessy is a mother, she's always been super goofy and crazy. I never pictured her having a baby me either but life will do that to you. "You okay? He asked

"Yeah" I yawned. "I just wanna snuggle with you. Tomorrow and Saturday is a busy day. I know, I have press all day, interviews and then the match but I'm ready" he said holding my hand. I still didn't tell him that I had to interview Ricky tomorrow. I tried talking to Kay about it but she just wouldn't let up. There wasn't much I could do; this is my last strike seeing as though she gave me a second chance. I couldn't tell him now; he has to be focused.

The Next Day

I sighed sitting in this local cafe area in the same building as my job. I was smart about it; I didn't want any paparazzi snapping any pics. I looked around sitting down, I had my coffee in my hands taking a sip. I saw him walk inside with his entourage and security guards. Ugh, he's so damn cocky it hurts. "Wassup love," he said.

"Ricky" I got up shaking his hand. I had my phone on record just in case I didn't catch what he told me. "You look good," he said sitting in front of me. "So I'm just going to ask you some questions, please elaborate so we can get this done in a timely fashion," I said.

"Sheesh, Lady," he said biting his lip. I rolled my eyes. "We're going to keep this professional. Understood? I asked.

He chuckled "I hear you lil mama.. how's Julian anyways? He asked.

"He is GREAT! Ready to kick some ass. Anyways!!! How did you start boxing?

"Grew up a military brat, my father introduced my brother and I to it at 8" he explained. That's funny because he stated way before Julian and he wasn't that good.

Julian

I stood against Romelo Hill. The press and the crowd were hyping us up. I stood there with a flat face while Romelo talked all his shit like Floyd told me to remain silent and show them instead. I looked to the side resting my hands behind me. To the corner of my eye, I saw Sevyn on her phone, she had this nigga's face on her shirt. Wow, that was crazy. I was truly appalled, not mad that she moved on but she dates another boxer now.. that's supposed to be my competition. I wonder if she had a motive. We glanced at each other and she quickly looked away. We stepped off the stage and I sat down getting ready to get an interview.

"Julian, how does it feel to be back in the ring tomorrow?

"It feels great, it's my second home. I feel better, I'm healthier and I'm in full beast mode" I explained

"What exactly happened? And what advice would you give amateur boxers about health?

"I just worked myself too much, to all the boxers out there take care of yourself and definitely know your limit. Know when to give it a break" I explained.
