Hey mom tomorrow is career day are you coming? Of course, am coming to my daughter's career day why wouldn't I come, I even had attires for both of you, Jenny would be dressed as a doctor while you dearie would be a lawyer, but Mom I don't wanna be a lawyer.
So what do you want to be ?, I don't know mom maybe if you slow things down I will think of what am very good at!
DING DONG! The bell rings, Keysha smiled she knew it was her dad, she opened the door and hugged her dad for the first time in her life was glad to see him. Her mother stood at akimbo staring hard at them.
I thought I made myself clear you ain't invited in this house, or maybe I should call the authorities.
Jenny quickly ran out from the dining table she screamed with excitement daddy! She ran and gave him a bear hug.
Devina frown so what do you want? Papi?
Am here to see my daughters can't you see that,
Well, today is off visit limits when you are done you leave I give you 10 minutes and I mean every word I say, else I would call the authorities.
Jeffery Don Kurtis raised his hands as if to surrender, whatever you say mama.
Can I at least have a glass of warm milk that would be nice?
No milk
No hot choco
Sure as hell no tea Papi
I can do for a glass of water, please
Alright, gracias
So little my little angels how are now.
Not fine Keysha whispered, except you sign these dance forms, alright go bring them don't let mama know.
Keysha brought the form and pens, he signed them, sneak them back before Mami gets back.
Devina came in suddenly she eyed her daughter, what's that in your hands, nothing Keysha backed away slowly, Devina attempted to grab Keysha she ran inside the room and bolted the door shut.
Devina pounded the door, will you open that door and give me those forms
No Mami I need it, I just want to dance don't you understand.
Devina stormed into the parlor, hey Papi I figured out I should report you to the authorities, for conspiring with my daughter against me now get out! , Listen Mami I can explain things to you, I don't need a damn explanation, just get out!
Please mommy let Daddy stay for a while, Jenny pleaded. He won't be staying and won't be visiting soon now get out!
Alright Mami good night, do as you wish if it makes you happy I won't come back.
Just go away, Jeffery. He got up and left.
Jenny stifle a sob, she wiped her eyes and went upstairs to her elder sister's room.
*****************************************************
Jenny knocked and Keysha opened the door slowly and let her in. Jenny looked at the room in awe and sat down dangling her legs, an act she learned to do when she is worried or nervous.
Keysha!
Yeah ?!
What does Mami hate papi?
I dunno Jen maybe because ... because
( In Keysha's mind) she is just an evil witch...
Maybe because Papi hurt her feelings she no longer loves papa.
It saddens me, I feel like crying, they don't cry I would take you to see spider Man and we have ice cream, I don't want spider Man, I want Alice in wonderland, ok Got Cha.
Changed my mind!
What?
I don't want to watch Alice in wonderland
So what do you want? Let's go watch ducks in unity park, ok fine we will.

Keysha was dull spirited chill mom it's a him
Devina was breathing hard as she drives to school.
Devina packs at the frontage of the school, music was booming loudly.
Keysha brightens up, it's a dance-off, Trent dancing fiercely with Aiden jack. the people were cheering
Trent breaks dance moves like a robot close to Aiden Jack he spins around and flips....the crowd goes frenzy
Wow Keyshia's eyes widen mom that's the new kid
Do you like him? Devina asked looking intently
Yes! Keysha exclaimed ecstatically
Uh no mom, just like him, she lowers her head
Alright let's go see this teacher of yours
The mic booms alright alright let's take this elsewhere today is career day I don't want parents having a negative impression about it, Keysha's heart skipped it was Lucas Jordan that was addressing the crowd on the mic.
He spotted Devina, he grinned, Devina what took you so long get in here, he removes the mic from his mouth, good day ma'am he extends his hands and shook Devina, she was smiling lost in thought and nobody broke the handshake each adult savoring each other!
What! Mom, Lucas snap of it, you guys are embarrassing me.
Lucas laughed your mom is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen she looks like you.
Stop Lucas, Keyshia's face flushed to bright red
Devina blushed...I ...I...I am miss Devina
Wow, you are amazing, Lucas complimented her am Lucas Jordan.
My mother was going to speak to you about not being able to...Devina covers her mouth and chuckles can we go somewhere private to talk alone, Devina suggested, wait behind here let me talk to your teacher.
Ok everyone dismiss we shall continue with the face-off
The students groaned and begin to dismiss.
So ma'am I haven't received your daughter's form am guessing you don't like the idea of your daughter dancing ...
I do... interrupted Devina if it's cool I could come and pick her up after today's rehearsals, here is the form it's already signed, she's very free to dance.
How did you even begin to teach won't the girls and female staff put their hands on you
Lucas chuckled no ma'am, they don't
Please call me Devina am not that old
I didn't say you were like I said you beautiful.
Thank you, Devina blushed
Can I have your number miss Devina?
Sure why not!
She flips out her phone and gave it to him and they exchanged numbers.
Are you coming for a career day presentation, oh yes I will.
