asks.
“Yup, she’s my sister,” Skylar tells him. “She’s amazin’ and one day she’s gonna be a champion—that’s what Momma tells us. She’s gonna be just like Momma.”
“You don’t say,” is all he replies.
“Well, if you’ll excuse us, I have to get down to the sideline and congratulate my daughter,” I say. “Let’s go, Skylar; let’s go see your big sister.”
I take Skylar’s hand and say goodbye to Jackie, tilt my head to Zane, and start making my way to my eldest. As I get to the last step I hear him call out very loudly.
“I’ll be seein’ you later, beautiful.”
Zane
There’s nothing I don’t know about her—I know all about Rylee and Skylar. I’m not a stalker or any of that sick shit; I’m a man who believes in keeping his word, and I made sure they were safe over the years even if I was away from them. When I made that promise, I never thought I’d grow to want her—to fight to become a better man for her.
I’ve finally met her face to face and I know I affect her as much as she affects me. She’s run away from me, but that ends now. Pretty soon, I’ll have her in my arms and I’m never letting her go.
Damn right, I’ll be seeing you later, I think to myself as I smile, watching her walk away from me for the very last time.
Three crazy and busy weeks have gone by. I’m in my room getting ready for my night out with Julia. This Saturday is a bye week in the schedule. We decided to take advantage of this downtime to have a night to ourselves. Rylee and Josilyn volunteered to babysit, so I have no worries and I know Skylar will have a blast with the girls.
After much consideration, I decide on black dress shorts, a purple sequin sleeveless mesh shirt, purple bra, and purple high-heeled pumps with kickass spikes and rhinestones on the heels. My earrings are black, glittery, and long and I have a beautiful black-and-purple bracelet on. Yes, I love my purple. I finalize the ensemble with a black coach wristlet. My make-up is neutral and I put my long dark wavy hair in a low side ponytail, showing off my Aquarius tattoo on the back of my neck.
“Momma, you look beautiful,” Skylar says. “I want to look just like you when I grow up.”
“Oh, baby, thank you. You’re gonna be more beautiful than me when you grow older,” I say. “You and Rylee are gonna be strong, beautiful, and amazing women. You have your father in you as well as me. We created you and we did an amazin’ job.”
As I’m having this conversation with my youngest, I hear a loud whistle at the door of my room. “Dang, Mrs. Faith, you look hot! Muy caliente, ” Josilyn says and Rylee agrees.
“Thank you, girls. Aunt Julia wants to go out and I hope this is what she has in mind. I’m too old to be wearin’ those short dresses that show my underwear, the ones girls wear nowadays, so I decided on shorts.”
“You’re rockin’ those shorts, Momma,” Rylee says. “You and Aunt Julia are gonna have so much fun. Josilyn and I have the peanut and we’ll take care of everything. Just go have fun, dance, and maybe talk to a hot guy or two. And drink safely.”
“Rylee!” I exclaim.
“What?” She asks. “You’re still young and deserve to have fun.”
Before I can say anything else, I hear the front door open.
“Honey! I’m home!” I hear Julia yell.
Julia’s a hoot. She’s been stuck with me from the day we met, and after everything we’ve been through, we’re still together. I love her, craziness and all. She tries her sexy walk as she walks into my room.
“You ready, chica? ”
She looks me up and down. I figure I pass inspection when she doesn’t send me back into my closet for different clothes.
“Let’s go have some fun. I’m ready to get my shake on. Woohoo!”
She starts to dance, shaking what her mama gave her and grabbing my hand in the process.
Skylar starts to laugh. “You’re funny, Aunt Julia. You and Momma look beautiful.”
“Thank
