Ascension

Chapter 46

~Vincent~

What do yall think should we let her marry Justice? Let her, yall know as well as I do, we don't control that situation Cierra said. I am against it, you heard her say she hit Justice, what's to say she won't do it again. You heard her say that Justice hit her back too. Vincent she's abusive! She's not, it was a mistake and they learned from it. I just don't see how yall are okay with this. Vannah let it go, Justice is an adult now you don't have to protect her anymore Cierra said. How can you say that she's our sister, our baby sister! Yeah, our sister Savannah she's not your child okay, and I am sure mama will agree with us too. Mama! Vannah I put you in an awkward situation with her, because you were her mother figure throughout her formative years, but baby she's grown now and she needs you in a different capacity than before. Mama! I know Vannah I know you wanna protect her I do, but now it's time to let her go, she's already stepped out on her own moving to California, finishing school, getting a great job. Now she just wants to be happy with the person she loves. You know more than anyone that Justice loves Tionne and the time they spent apart was needed for them to get to the point they are at now.

I just don't want to see her make a mistake and be heartbroken again. I don't think she will break her heart again honestly mama said looking at Vannah. Vincent you think she's really ready? I think that Justice is ready, she's always been ready. If we would have let her do it when she was 19, they would have gotten married then. When she was 19 mama, said with a raised eyebrow? Remember Vannah she wanted to move in with Tionne after they you know. Ok we not talking about Justice's sex life right now, Cici said. You get what I am saying though we can't hold her back and even if we tell her no, that won't keep Justice from doing it. True our little sister is very head strong when she wants something. That she is and what she wants is in that room right now. Anything is better than that Marcus nigga.

Don't even bring him up, I can't believe he beat her up like that. Mhmp well he's just lucky I didn't get my hands on him cause if I did it'd be lights out for real. You think Daddy would approve of her she said looking at me and then Mama. Yeah, he would, he would approve of anything that would make his little angel happy. If only she knew how much he loved her! Yeah well, he's not here to tell her that now is he I said sucking my teeth. She's got my vote but if she's hurts her...you won't do anything but let Justice deal with it. And at this point I doubt she'll hurt her they've moved on from that part of life. I'll get her Cici said getting up from the table to get Ti. You sure about this Vin? I am positive I said looking at mama.

Is everything good Ti said coming back into the room. Yeah, it's good, mama you wanna tell her? She stood up and she went over to Ti and looked her in the eyes, she's my last baby and I am trusting that you'll take care of her and you won't hurt her. I won't she said looking at her. And the physical violence. It won't ever happen again she said straight forward. Okay then you got our blessing you can propose to her. Really! Yeah, we all agreed she's ready and we think you are ready too. I am, I am so ready and I promise with everything in me that I will not break Justice's heart. We nodded agreeing with her. Thank you Vannah she said going over to her. I know you don't like me. I never said I didn't like you; I just didn't want my sister hurt! I understand and I promise you I won't hurt her. Keep that promise Tionne please because she's been through way too much in her life. I know and I want to make every day she wakes up better than the day before. Then Vannah hugged Tionne and whispered something to her. Ti looked at her and nodded before they separated.

Dang you better than most niggas! Vincent! Sorry mama! Have you gotten the ring yet? That's kind of why I asked yall here to New York I need help with the ring. I want to get her something special but I don't even know where to start, I mean yall know how she is she don't like gaudy stuff but I want to get her something nice too. How about this mama said handing her the box? What's this? It' my wedding ring. Your ring...No I can't! Yes, you can it's not the original set, but her father gave it to me after he told me about her.
