〰 Take a redhead that uses her assets to get her way in business, a curly nanny who believes in true love, a dark-haired, drop-dead gorgeous stripper and you've got a curved t(h)reat.
Then add a nerdy personal trainer, a tall, dark and handsome bo...
We arrive a little late to the barbecue. The party is already in full swing. We're late because I had to redress myself three times. Montell kept undressing me, saying I looked way too hot in this dress. But I won the argument in the end of course. I step out onto the patio, Montell's hand firmly holding mine.
I search for my parents with my eyes and see my mom first. She feels me looking at her and comes over right away. "Mona baby! You look amazing." She hugs me tight and then pulls Montell into a hug too. Montell smiles and hugs her back with the same amount of love.
These are the moments, girls. The moments your man scores points. If he hugs your mom like that, you know you've got yourself a good one.
I see my dad at the other end of the patio, talking to some men as he grills the meat. He lives for moments like this. He is always strict when he's at work, but totally his goofy self when he's at home. People are always surprised when they see him like that for the first time.
I see X and Ama working the bar and tense up at the sight of the two of them together. Montell, who was talking to my mother, notices it and follows my gaze. He says: "They look relaxed enough. Don't worry about it, babe. Let's go and say hi." I smile up at him, not even surprised anymore how he seems to read my mind, and walk over to the bar with him.
Ama is laughing with a handsome guy at the bar and before I can wonder who he is, Montell has pulled me over there to greet him. "Conan! Fancy meeting you here, mister anti-social. How are you?" Conan gives him a firm handshake and chuckles.
He says: "You know I'm always busy man. We don't all have the time to watch girls dance around naked every night."
Montell shakes his head and says: "You know I don't see much guarding the door, you prick."
"Yeah right. Are you going to introduce me or do I have to guess who the lovely lady by your side is? Probably your cousin, because she's too beautiful to be interested in you bro."
I chuckle and decide I like this man. And they obviously know each other pretty well. I hold my hand out and say: "Hi. I'm Mona. Not his cousin, but I do call the mayor dad."
Conan's eyes flit to my mother and then back at me. He nods and says: "That makes total sense. You've got your looks from your mother."
I shoot him a grateful smile, before making my way over to Ama. We check each other out and smile wide. I tell her: "Girrrl, you look hot!" I kiss her on the lips and smack her ass. She laughs and slaps my ass in return. We always take the time to make each other feel better about ourselves, in our own crazy way.
I giggle and then exchange looks with Ama, who clearly feels the eyes on her too. We turn to face Montell and Conan, both staring at us with their tongues out. My eyes move over to X, who has turned his back to us, knowing exactly how we act when we see each other.
Ama pushes me forward and says: "Go have fun Moan. X and I got this. Shake that wonderful ass of yours. Give me something to look at!" I laugh and make my way over to Montell, who is still a bit dazed. I kiss him on the lips and that snaps him out of it.
"Boo? Why do you look so surprised? You've seen us in action before."
He hugs me and whispers: "Yeah, in the club. When I know it's coming. This is different. Damn babe." I giggle and pull him with me to say hi to my dad.
I can feel Montell tense up and I know he's worried. But my dad turns around with a goofy smile on his face and hugs me. He shakes Montell's hand and says: "Good to see you Montell. And it's great to see you have a wonderful taste in women."
Montell smiles and then my dad suddenly pulls him closer. "If you hurt her, I'll make sure no one finds your body." He smiles goofily again, but his eyes still show his protective side. I love that about him. He's the best dad I could ever wish for and I smile when he hands me a plate with chicken and ribs on it. He knows me so well.
Montell and I sit down and eat, talking about all the people there. He knows every single one of them and tells me a funny story about one of the police officers there.
The guy was sent over to a house because someone called the station with a noise complaint. He gets over there and hears a woman scream. He gets worried, kicks the door down, and walks in on a woman pleasing herself on the couch in the living room.
I laugh and feel for that woman. Imagine doing that and someone thinking you're in danger. Montell chuckles and says: "They got married last month." I look up at him in surprise and he says: "I love telling that story. Imagine their future kids asking them how they met."
He chuckles and kisses me softly.
I suddenly feel him tense up as he stares at something behind me. He swears through his teeth and I follow his gaze. There he is, mister DA. The man my entire family hates and apparently Montell doesn't like him much either.
I watch him walk over to the bar in a straight line and squeeze Montell's hand. Montell looks at me and raises his eyebrows. I whisper: "I don't like the DA. He tried to kiss Ama when she was fourteen. Dad handled it, but she hasn't seen him since." I'm about to get up to walk over there, but Montell stops me.
He says: "She'll be fine. She's strong and smart. And Conan's there."
I watch the sleazy man lean over the bar to try and get Ama's attention. X is standing there with his fists clenched and Conan looks calm, but he shifted on his barstool with his feet firmly planted on the ground.
A smile creeps onto my face when I see Ama lean forward on the bar, making sure the DA gets a good look at her girls. She's got this.
