"We've only known each other for a month, that's not very long Zion. But u have been the center of my universe since we've met."
"When I saw u in Aunt Brenda's kitchen trying to make biscuits of all things, I knew she had something up her sleeve, she's so persistent. She had just told me a week before we met that my bride was coming and to just hold on...then u showed up. I've spent four years doing these, these self analyses to see how life could go wrong. I've always prioritized, when Mama was sick I carried on...she would not allow me to put my life on hold for her. I really wish u could have met her, u would have enjoyed her presence. I didn't give too many women that privilege."
"She sounds alot like my grandmother. What do u think she would have said about our age difference?"
"She always said nothing gets old but money and I'm pretty sure that applies to me too.. (Laughter) age is only a number."
"So tell me something else about u, I know u were raised by your grandmother, we got to know each other quite a bit but u are so mysterious...Oh, this road is closed. We have to detour to get to my house. (Grabs chest)
"Are u ok?"
"Im fine, I have u...now back to the subject u don't get away that easy."
"Oh, me...well u know I was studying to be an attorney someday and u know about my cousin Nina, I haven't really left much out besides I chose the baby's father from hell."
"What do u mean?"
"Well uh, I sorta left him but contacted his mother to get Prayla and Cherub after my car was repoed. He had a new girlfriend anyway, I found out through Cherub of course. I just want them away from that woman's house. I wish I didn't have to take them back."
"YOU DON'T BABY! U WILL SEE...I'm committed to them too, I can't love u without loving them!"
LOVE...?
"U look confused..."
"U love me?
"Ok, now I'm confused...do I have to come out and say it? I'll yell it!"
"NO! STAY CALM!" (Laughter)
"I don't wanna rush u into anything Baby, I'm just so glad I can call u mine...can't I? After the Christmas break the girls can go to the private school about a mile away from the house."
"WHAT'S WRONG?"
"Nothing. Well I think we should wait until we are married before we live together..."
HAS SHE BEEN LISTENING TO AUNT BRENDA? I'LL DIE IF I CAN'T WAKE UP TO HER.
"But baby we are engaged, no one marries first anymore!"
BUT THAT GOES AGAINST THE REASON I BROKE UP WITH PJ.
SHE CANT BE SERIOUS! I CANT BE WITH HER THE WAY I WANT AT AUNT BRENDA'S HOUSE!
WOW! THIS IS A LOVELY HOME! WHOSE CAR...IS THAT A RENTAL?
WHOSE CAR IS IN MY DRIVEWAY? LUGGAGE? SOMEONES INSIDE OH MY GOD, IS THAT....?
NOOOOO! CHARITY WAS NOT LYING! I LOVE TOYA NOW! GO BE WITH CLYDE...I KNOW HE HAS BEEN INTIMATE WITH U SINCE U HAVE BEEN GONE, U TWO WERE ENJOYING EACH OTHER EVEN BEFORE U WENT AWAY. IM ALMOST SURE CHARITY IS BEHIND THIS.

"WHAT? U TOLD ME TO COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS! IM SO GLAD U ARE WILLING TO FORGIVE ME BABY, I STILL LOVE U SO MUCH...Oh, I want u to try the biscuits again. HOW'S AUNT BRENDA? COME ON LETS GO SEE HER!"
