There is mature content with Andy and Will, please let's be mature about it. This is for my more mature audience if there are any, so you're not left out....

Andy

I walked in his house, I've been here a handful of times. Will shut the front door behind me. We had just dropped off Tray's and Shamaria's friends home, leaving everybody else at my house enjoying the rest of the party. It was the weekend and they weren't going to stop until the morning.

"That was nice." I quietly said when Will came up next to me.

"Yeah, it was nice of them doing something like that for Khyree." I went to his kitchen, to put up the left overs.

I walked out of the kitchen and Will was pouring a glass of Brandy in his office. He looked to the side at me and silently offered me a glass. I nodded at him and walked further into the office. I looked around and I looked around, neat and smelled just like his cologne. I looked at Will, while he fixed my cup.

When Francesca, Nat's mom, introduced me and Andre to Will, I was surprised that the congressman who was making a name for himself, was her best friend. William and Frankie, were both making names for themselves. Fighting for those that were wrongly accused and for those that were also murdered at the hands of these cops.

I was one for over 30 years. I've seen my fare share of those who thought it was a high when they've arrested another black man, because of statistics. Between Frankie and Will, I fully supported what they do.

Now William.....

I was extremely attracted to him from the first moment I saw him. He had that charm and smile that made him irresistible. By then Robert had been gone almost 15 years, but my love for my Bobby never died. I raised Bray with the help of Andre and my dad Slim, without any other man on my side. But I did miss the companionship.....

"Ma.....you never thought about dating again? You know to have someone with you. I'm sure Khyree and Nat are gonna want their own space soon." Bray had just dropped me off at the house from visiting Khyree at the hospital.

It was so scary when Natalie called me crying hysterically. Omari and Travion were already on their way to pick me up.

"I thought about it...." Brayton let out a deep breath.

"I know you've been seeing Will. Why you hiding him?"

Why was I hiding him?

He was divorced, had a decent friendship with Paula. I was a widow....

"I guess I was kinda scared. I felt like I was betraying your dad. Then, I felt like you wouldn't be too happy about me seeing another man. Yes, you're 39, but you have to understand.....a real mother doesn't want her child feeling replaced. It was already difficult enough with you and Khyree." I looked my son in the eyes. He looked so much like Bobby.

God I still miss him.....

"I never told you I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not trusting you when it came to him. You're my mom and the first person I should trust before anyone....but I  don't think dad would have wanted you going through life like this. I think he would want you to still be happy and if Will could do that for you, then be happy......don't you think that would put dad at peace? That you're good, someone is watching over you?" I sat there quietly thinking.

I looked at my son.

"I'm okay with it. I want you to be happy too ma.....you deserve it....."
