With Bakari's birthday being not even a month away, I've submerged myself into party planning mode to insure my oldest son had an amazing 4th birthday. Because of his love for the Georgia National Fair or Perry Fair as us natives call it fell around he same time as his birthday, his party will be circus themed.

I'd been making calls all morning with caterers, amusement park ride companies and petting zoo owners.

KJ had finally returned from playing Law & Order, and I couldn't be more happy to have him back so that I could take care of all the details of this extravaganza, knowing my kids were being taken care of. He was still being very tight-lipped about the trial which worried me, considering I had absolutely no contact with my children's father which perturbed me.

Especially where Bakari's concerned, considering he valued those phone calls more than his younger siblings who had no recollection of their father as a free man or any understanding of what was going on.

KJ assured me things were being handled, whatever that meant. I let it go for now considering I had bigger fish to fry. Seeing the ghost of boyfriends past literally, a few days ago had shaken me to the core.

When Jarvis opened that door, all the blood rushed to my head and I damn near passed out. When he reached out to touch me, it immediately triggered my fight or flight response and a bitch took off. I grabbed my girls and got the hell out of dodge without saying a word. It scared Boog and Nefi to see me do disheveled, especially after the past month we've had. A day later once I had time to sit with my thoughts I told them what happened and their concerns matched mine.

How is he not dead?..where has he been all this time? Why is he back?

These questions plagued my mind for the past week. Jarvis wasn't a calculated and malicious person. It was his ignorance and lack of relationship skills that ended our relationship. Oh yeah and the boy couldn't keep his dick in his pants.

But something about this was fishy to me. For you to fake your own death and then pop up years later, sending people to bait me to see you and leaving suttle hints was odd. There had to be a motive behind this for him to go through all this trouble.

And here I was with a message from him, and a decision to make.
