Drew has the perfect life. A great wife, CEO of 2 major companies and a new baby. Drew still managed to be a typical man and messed up. Time is not on Drew side to get his shit together.
I never knew who my biological father was. I have been wondering lately about my background. I was given to my grandmother, who never bring my mother up. Whenever I asked about her when I was younger I was popped. I gave my DNA to ancestry and surprisingly a match came up. I am getting ready to meet him.
I arrived at the restaurant and I spotted him at the table he told me he would be sitting at.
"Hello, I am Symone" I said holding my hand out to shake his. He stood up and his face lit up.
"Miranda's twin, you look just like her" he stated shaking my hand. I smiled and tears fell. I updated him on my life and he told me I have a niece and 3 nephews and I let him know I have kids and a great boyfriend. I didn't feel the need to mention Drew and that situation.
"Well when can I meet everyone" I asked excitedly. His smile faded.
"Well Symone, I have been married for 30 years and uhm my wife-" I cut him off before he could finish.
"I understand. I should've never came." I gathered my stuff and was leaving.
He stopped me. "Let me tell my wife and children, give me a day okay" he said and I wanted to believe him however, I been there done that with Drew. I walked off and didn't think to hear from him ever again.
*******************
Two weeks has passed since I met my biological dad and not one word from him. I told Chris and he told me to not even worry about opening that chapter of my life back up. I decided to go visit my grandma today.
"Grandma, I'm here " I yelled out.
She came downstairs and smiled. "I haven't seen you in a while. How are my grands" she asked smiling. I hugged her and sat Zoe on the ground to crawl.
"They are great Nana, I actually came to talk to you about something" I told her. She picked Zoe up and had me follow her in the kitchen. She stood in the door way looking at me with that look like she knew I disobeyed her.

"Well Symone, spit out. How far along are you " she said. I laughed and stood up to hug her.
"Grandma, I am not pregnant" I said continuing to laugh.
She just stared at me trying to read me and I sat at the table smiling at her.

"Symone, I don't have time to play games. What is it" she fussed.
I smiled at her "I met my biological dad" I excitedly told her holding her hand. She snatched her hand away from me and my smile disappeared.
"Stay away from that man." She yelled.
I was confused as to why she never wanted to tell me about my parents. I was getting upset and I wanted answers. "Grandma, why can't I know him. Why you never speak on my mother, who is your daughter? Whats the big damn secret" I yelled at her and like old times I got slapped. This time I wasn't bowing down. I wanted answers.
"I'm waiting grandma" I said rubbing my face. She just stared at me pacing and crying.
"It's best to leave well enough alone Symone. They don't care about you. Let it go baby." She cried. I don't know why she doesn't want me to bother with that life and apart of me is saying to listen to her.
I went home and Chris was happy to see me. "Hey sunshine" he said kissing me.
I kissed him back "missed me" I asked. He shook his head and I pulled back to go give the kids a bath so I can put them to bed.
I came back downstairs and Chris was knocked out with the game still playing on his phone. I went to cut it off but I saw Imani name pop up with a new message.
Chris: Have you been to the doctor yet?
Imani: Yes, I'll send you a sonogram.
Chris: If this baby is mine. I want you Imani. I think about you when Symone and I have sex.
I grew angry and wanted to just cry but I feel as though this is my karma and something I have to get through like she did with Drew. I kissed him on his cheek and went in our room.
I was trying to sleep but I couldn't. I wanted to know who I came from. I looked on my ancestry again and saw my dad's name but by passed that when I saw the initials M.R. I clicked on their profile and of course no picture but there was a number. I called it.
"Hello" the lady said in the phone and I hesitated. I then remembered what my dad said "Miranda's twin".
"Miranda" I said in the phone. There was a pause.
"You don't know me but I have been wondering about you. I'm your daughter " I said in the phone. I could hear her let out a loud sigh then cries.
"You don't have to say anything. I just want to let you know that life is rough but I'm making it. You are a grandma of 2 their names are Carter and Zoe. I hope one day I can meet you." I was about to hang up but she spoke.
"Symone, I know your grandmother does not know you contacted me. Don't tell her. In due time honey. I know all about you though. I know about my grand babies and their raggedy father. I'm not obtuse to your life. In due time trust me" she said before hanging up.
I cried out and just smiled. I was hurt she knew so much about me and I so little about her. I then thought how could she know about Drew. She must think I'm a whore. I still didn't allow that to get to me because I heard my mother's voice.
