This chapter is dedicated to my loving dad who I lost while growing and my amazing mama/companion. I miss you so much,  this here is for you both.

"Mum you mean after giving him your dad's phone number and address of a soldier he still was in love with you", Rory asked with tears in her eyes from laughing too hard

"Not only was he in love, he proposed but I definitely did not have interest marrying a Kenyan man who was darker than my shadow", mum replied while we all laughed hard from her tales about our dad.

"Tell us something else", I pleaded extremely enjoying myself. It'll be so much fun teasing my dad with this tales.

"Okay there was one girl that liked your dad back then, she was practically obsessed with him; keeping tabs on when he jogs, go to work, walk his dogs and come to my house", she started. she sounded like a fucking stalker.

"Where you married to him back them?" Nelson asked, clearly disturbed by mum's revelation but laughed and ignored his question.

"One day she knocked at his door and unfortunately for her, Piyo was the one to open the door", I smiled in anticipation of her next words.

"where is your dad little man?" mum repeated the stalker's voice

"Not anywhere close to your ugly face was what Piyo answered and spat on her", she laughed remembering but i noticed her struggle for breathe.

"How old was he?" Rory asked in shock with her palm closing her mouth.

"He was only four and i was totally embarrassed because she was your Anty Lily", mum was coughing and laughing by now.

"Girls are just so crazy", i pointed and high-five Nelson

"That is definitely true, but you want a crazy girl to side with you not against you", she reasoned with us.

"Mum i'll be going to sleep now, we have a test tomorrow and i have to read", Rory yawned and kissed mum goodnight, taking Richie with him.

"I'll also be turning in, i have to help dad at work tomorrow", he also kissed mum and left the room.

"I guess that leaves both of us ma", i smiled and cuddled with my mum. i had lost a year bonding with her so i wasn't letting any time slide.

"You should be careful with Cammy", i frowned at her sudden interest in Cammy.

"Did you find out something?" inside of me was shivering from fear of her knowing about the pregnancy.

"Not at all but i know her type. she definitely likes you a lot but her love is conditioned. if things get tough she'll bail on you", mum's tired voice stated.

"You should hang out with Rory, Jane Ann and Fayo. these are people willing to go an extra mile for you", she continued. I knew mum kept tabs of all my friends buy i never knew she was acquainted with Jane Ann.

"I appreciate you telling me this. I should probably let you sleep because you seem tired. The dance ,moves from the party is enough to tire you out", kissed her and used the blanket to cover her.

"Never forget i love you and your siblings so damn much", her emotions were everywhere  and it really bothered me.

"Are you okay ma, should i get my dad? you seem weak", I checked her pulse and it was quite alright.

"You worry to much Piyo, go to bed i will be here tomorrow. Goodnight my beautiful boy", I blushed and pecked her forehead and left to my room.

I took a shower and dived into my spring bed hat as so damn comfortable but before i could get a shut eye I got a text from the number I dial earlier.
