Chapter 14 - I'll Be Home For Christmas

"No Zion, we are trapped inside, there is a tree across what's her face's car, we can't even get out of the front door now...AND I'M NOT LEAVING MY CHILDREN!"

"Ok, OK...They can go too! I have a lot of space, now u don't have any reason to say no!"

OH NOW U WANNA TAKE ME TO YOUR HOUSE, THE KISS GAVE U THE WRONG IDEA!

"Toya, please just contribute to my happiness, u are the only thing that makes me happy! I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR U! (Grabs Chest) Please, I'm begging...and I didn't bring my medication! I promise u she is nobody! U will see...I will walk right past her, with u and the girls. I have no secrets! (Grabs her hand) U feel that..that beats for u, barely...but it beats. Everybody are not pit bulls..."

Pit Bulls? He needs his meds. Maybe he is sincere, I sure hope so. This is so unreal it seems like a hoax, Im homeless for crying out loud! Why would a man like this be interested in me? I don't even have a car...

Good thing I pulled in the garage...

"Zion Henderson if u ever hurt me again I will never forgive u. Do u know how confused I am...I dream about u no matter what I do before I close my eyes..."

"Oh?"

"I mean I try to take my mind off of u. Even in the hospital I could not help but wonder where u were and who u were with...this is all unbelievable so don't blame me if Im skeptical. Im trying to get back on track for my children."

"JUST SAY WHAT U WANT...I'll try to make it happen Toya. Im not Superman but there's nothing I won't do for u."

OH HE BETTER NOT BE RUNNING GAME

"Are u ready, what about the girls..."

SHOULD I LEAVE THEM? MS...AUNT BRENDA WOULDN'T LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO THEM, I REALLY WANNA SPEND TIME ALONE WITH ZION BUT THEY ARE MORE IMPORTANT.

"I think we should stay."

"Why Baby? Don't worry...they will be okay! Oh, and I rigged the patio door...it never freezes, U will never get out of it again without me!"

"Um, I just don't know..."

"Ill be back then...I really need my meds. When I return I have something to ask u."

"Ask me now..."

"No, Ill be back...kiss me."

*DOOR OPENS*

"ZION...I AM WAITING ON U!"

"Kiss me, now...please"

"But..."

*LONG KISS*

"See, she means nothing to me...just, stay put, I have to get rid of her."

*DOOR CLOSES*

LORD PLEASE INTERVENE BEFORE I HURT THIS WOMAN! WHY AM I GOING THROUGH ALL THESE MIXED EMOTIONS?

"WHAT IS IT CHARITY!"

"Oh, I just wanted to let u in on a little secret...someone is at the Airport! U must don't have your phone Hun, Im sure she called...this could get a bit interesting. Facebook comes in handy sometimes I have to admit."

"WHO"

"Oh u knooow! Lets just say she left on a midnight train to...Minnesota!"

OH GOD NO!

"Well carry on! Oh and Merry Christmas, I think Ill call Uber... and I hope u like your gift."

"Wait! Don't leave!

OH!

"I'll be right back..."

LORD IF I'M MAKING A MISTAKE PLEASE STOP ME NOW!

"TOYA! Come here..."

(Walks to Christmas tree)

WOW A RING! I KNEW HE WOULD SEE IT MY WAY FINALLY...MAUVE AND SILVER...YES! Well Clyde, hope all is well...I'll see u in court! He wants us to be engaged when she comes, and now Miss Prissy can move around!

"AUNT BRENDA! WHERE ARE U!"

"What's wrong Zion?"

"Cherub, Prayla! Where is everybody!"

LORD FOUR LONG YEARS I KNOW SHE DOESN'T THINK HE HASN'T MOVED ON! FINALLY...AND HE NEEDS TO GET RID OF THIS SCALLAWAG ASAP!

"ZION WHATS WRONG!"

"Come on..."

"I don't have on shoes!"

"No! Right here in the den!"

"WHAT IS ALL THE COMMOTION NEPHEW! U ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY CALM!"

OH LORD WHAT'S GOING ON?

"Mommy! I have a gingerbread house!"

"AND A STEPDAD!"

(Getting on one knee)

"TOYA WILL U MARRY ME?"

I WANTED HER TO FIND THIS ON THE TREE CHARITY REALLY KNOWS HOW TO MESS THINGS UP!

"What, Zion...get up! I mean... why so soon...Oh my God, I don't know what to say! I, in front of everybody?"

"Just say yes...please."

"SHE CAN MAKE BISCUITS?"

"QUINTEZ BE QUIET! SAY YES HONEY WHAT U WAITING ON? I TOLD U THAT WAS YO HUSBAND CHILE...look how he lookin at her."

"Yes?"

"I, ok...YES!"

"YES WHAT PRAYLA? WHY IS MOMMY CRYING?"
