After a long wait, Im back. For real this time.
Make sure to let me know what are your thought on this one.
------------------------
It was a beautiful Sunday when Marshal and I had a conversation that revealed to him that we had a son together. Since there, 5 days ago, he keeps texting me every day so we can schedule their meeting.
Well, it's scheduled for tomorrow.
I own a coffee shop over Chicago and that's our meeting spot. Marshall will be coming.
Yes, I'll tag along. Even though it's their right to be together, I fell like we need to have this first meeting all three of us.
20 years ago I made a decision to tell my kid about his father and he did deal with it in a very good way. He lived his life with that information and now he has a kid for himself.
Me and his father had a one night relationship 32 years back. We were two kids trying to understand things and that never happened again, specially because besides going to school together we had nothing tying us. I was in foster care and three months after our not so good night I was already in another house, the one I stayed for a very long time.
My parents passed a couple times back and it was a shame they never came to meet Kelly, my grandchild, who's 5 now. But they were able to see Henry's marriage, which is already awesome. Patricia has been his girlfriend since he was in The Academy so it was a nature move that they were getting deadly serious sometime.
I'm not used to keep moaning about things so that's why I've never complained on carried Henry alone and he always understood that and believe it or not, supported me. He knew that this Eminem father-son thing was a heavy weight to carry and he always said how much he liked him for his music, and was afraid to ruin it knowing it personally.
It's not what a son says about his father, but I lived with it with no big worries.
My thoughts were stopped by a call and when I looked, no surprise, Marshall again.
"Hey"
"Hey, Isa. How you doing?"
"Fine and you? What do you want now?"
"I'm calling just to make sure everything is fine for tomorrow...."
"Marshall..."
"Yeah, I know you already said it's ok, but I'm nervous ok?! Just trying to make things right over here" He made a little laugh noise but sounded more like a nervous laugh than a joyfull laugh
"Everything is settled. Don't worry. Henry will meet us there after shift."
"Ok, and it's a quite place, you said. Do you think we can close it for our meeting?"
"I don't think so, just act normal. My clients are really peaceful, just a bunch of old people who don't know you. Don't worry, I wouldn't call you in for a trap"
"Well, it's not like I now you"
"You're right, you don't. But believe me, nothing will happen to your beautiful face"
"So I'm beautiful, huh?" I could REALLY hear his smile though the phone
"Yes, you are. Live with it. Now, I really have to go. Kelly will be here soon and I need to start cooking"
"Yeah, yeah. Send him my kisses and tell him I'm dying to meet him already"
"Sure, will do it. See you tomorrow, then. Kisses"
And I hang, not knowing his answer. Damn, I really was running late with the cakes. Not that it was his fault anyway.
So, turns out Kelly sleeps with me 2 Fridays a month. It's our agreement so I can stay with him and enjoy while he is still a little boy that watches whatever I want and his parents have some fun together. It's a nice deal actually, where I can be a grandma and they can be a couple.
