Today was Sunday and Montrece and I decided we should go to church. I had been raised in church all my life but lately it seemed as if I hadn't had time for God. Maybe that's why my life was going crazy. I got up got dressed. I put on my black high waist skirt, a blue and white stripped button up shirt my black pumps. I put my hair in a high bun applied a little make up and was ready to go. I put Aden in some jeans a light blue dress shirt with a white bow tie and black dress shoes.
After getting him dressed we waited for slow poke Montrece. He came out the bathroom five minutes later looking fine as could be. He had on black dress pants ,white and light blue polka dot dress shirt , light blue bow tie. He had on a silver watch and had his silver diamond stud earrings in. He looked so good and smelled even better. This man was fine and all mine. We got into the car and went to my old church Mt. Zion. We walked in and I saw a few familiar faces. The praise team was up and rocking. They sung I'm chasing after you. The usher led us to our seats. After the praise team sung the preacher got up and began to speak.
He came from Judges 16. It was the story about Sampson and Delilah. Sampson was a very strong man and Delilah wanted to know what made him strong. The secret was in Sampson's hair. If it was cut he would lose all of his strength. Delilah urged Sampson to tell him. He lied to her. She made his life miserable until he told her that if his hair was cut off he would be like any other man." The preacher related this story to being distracted easily. Saying that the devil moves us inch by inch until we are so far gone we don't know how we got there. I took in every word and applied it to my life. I had been so distracted with my life I hadn't had time for God. It was time for me to get it together.
After church I talked to Pastor Johnson and told him the message was right on point. I introduced him to Montrece, and he encouraged us to keep coming. After talking to him I spoke to a few of the other members on our way out I saw a frail lady walking towards me. She looked somewhat familiar but I couldn't really tell. The closer she got I recognized who she was. It was my mother. She was so skinny and she looked unkept. She looked up at me and asked if I had so are change I could give her. All I could do was hug her. I hadn't seen my mom in three years. "Mama how you doing?"I asked. "Mama? I ain't your mama child what's wrong with you and get off get off me. Are you gonna give me spare change or not?" I couldn't believe my mom didn't remember me. I gave he a few dollars and began walking to the car trying not to cry. Once I was in the car I broke down. Montrece tried to console me but it wasn't working. How could my mom forget who I was? Was she that bad off? What happened to her? I stopped crying and got myself together. Montrece gave me a couple of seconds to regroup before pulling off. We decided to go to Red Lobster for dinner.
After dinner we went home and I got a call from Lyrique. She wanted to come over but I wasn't in the mood for company. After seeing my mom I felt depressed. I layed in the bed thinking about everything. Montrece came in and layed beside me. I put my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. He raised my head up and kissed my forehead. Then my lips. His lips were so electrifying. The more we kissed the more passion and lust I felt. I could feel temptation taking over. I started unbuttoning his shirt. He pulled back and told me to stop. It shocked me. "We don't need to do this." He said. "You're pure and so am I and we would just be making a mistake." As bad as I hated it , he was right. He got up and went to change I went to check on Aden. He was sleep. I appreciated having a man like Montrece. Most guys wouldn't have cared if I was a virgin. They prey on virgins just to see if they'll give it up. I loved Montrece he was such a gentleman. I knew with what had just happened I needed to get a place of my own or something because the feelings would only get stringer between us.
