One Woman Man

9. Family Reunion

Christina
My dad just got out of the prison yesterday which is I knew it because he was on his good behavior the whole time that he in prison. So tonight, I'm going to the Mexican Restaurant at College Park for my family reunion. Not only my dad I'm reunion with but it's my uncle too since I ain't seen him since I got adopted. Me and my mom reunion the other day and I'm proud of her for better herself and stopped doing drugs years ago.

I also learned that she works at the church now and encourage kids to not do the same thing as she did. I told my mom everything including Ciara since we go to school and work. She very happy for me and wants to meet her one day. I didn't tell her about Jamal because I didn't think it's was an right time and in speaking of Jamal, me and him are very close but not boyfriend and girlfriend yet.

We go skating, bowling, watch movies together and so on. Hell, he gave me the necklace on my 20th birthday which is a week ago. Now It's 4pm and I'm about to get ready for the dinner. I went to the bathroom, took my clothes off, and put my dirty clothes in the hamper while I'm waiting on the water to warm up.

I got in the shower shaved and washed my body 6 times with the Love and Sunshine body gel.

When I'm done, I got out of the shower, dried off, brush my teeth, rinse my mouth and went to my room which is across the hall to put on my clothes. I plug my phone on AUX cord and "You Used To Love Me" by Faith Evans start playing on my Spotify.

I sprayed my love box, put my bra and draws on, lotion my body and put on my yellow dress that I brought from Forever 21.

I put on my heels and took off my scarfs and let my black straight hair hang out.

I brush my hair, put on my lip gloss, put on my deodorant, grab my bag and headed to downstairs. I went downstairs seeing Ciara eating the grilled chicken salad and watching TV.
"Okay Ciara I'm out" I said
"Okay have fun with the family reunion." She said.

I went outside and got in my blue Nissan that my adoptive dad gave me couple of years ago as my graduation gift.

Before I drove off, I plug my phone in the AUX cord and "Keep Your Head Up" by 2Pac playing on Spotify.

I decided to stopped by the gas station at Bankhead so I can put some gas in the car before I gets on I-285.

I pulled up to the Mexican restaurant for the family reunion. I turned the music down, got out of the car and locked it. I had to make sure my door is locked before I get in the building so nobody won't steal it. I walked in the building and I saw the Moyers waving at me.

"Hey Christina, I ain't seen you in years" My aunt Hayden said given me an hug. That's was true because the last time I saw her was a month before I got adopted. I gives everybody an hug including my dad since he got the beards now. I sat next to my relatives and reuniting with my family.

Before we start eating, my dad made the announcement that he turning his life around by talking to kids and encourage them to not to make an same mistake as he made. I'm like damn, no wonder why they let him out early on his good behavior. He seems like he taking his parole seriously because if he messed it up, he might go back in prison.

Couple of hours later
This the best family reunion that I ever had. We laughed, joking around and talking about how cute I was before I got adopted. Hell, even the food is good but I'm not hungry anymore. Before I leave, we all exchanged numbers and I got in the car and stopped by the gas station close by before I head to the highway because I need some more gas in the car.

My dad said he'll keep in contact with me and I agrees. After I paid about $40 for gas and pumped them up, O headed to the highway with music on low.
