Chapter Four Purity #2
This is that feel good music and Donell don’t miss.
His music is timeless, and I never get tired of it.
I want to get a vinyl player, and his album “Where I Wanna Be” will be the first one I purchase.
Times like this, I love having an open floor plan.
Between my living room and my kitchen, I could see my son while he plays, and I do my thing in the kitchen.
Moments like this I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.
While I cooked, my mind was already thinking on what I would wear to work tomorrow.
I’m really big on fashion. One thing my mom instilled in me at an early age is that when you look good you feel good.
I’m a firm believer in that. I try to live by it, making sure to always upkeep my image.
Sometimes it gets a little hard between working and doctors’ appointments with my son.
That led to me learning how to do my own hair, makeup, etc.
Whatever I could do to save time and make sure I’m still looking good.
My music halted, due to an incoming facetime call from my girls. I wasted no time picking up.
“Heyyyyy bitchhh”, Roni said with her loudmouth.
“What’s up girl”, I responded, laughing at her ass.
Jania was killing herself laughing. Roni will always be Roni, that’s why we love her ass.
“Okay so give up the deets hun. How was your day?”, Jania asked.
“Y’all, I’m really where I’m destined to be. My day was everything. Felt like I have been doing this my entire life”.
“You know what they say, do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life”.
“I honestly believe that. The day didn’t feel like work at all. Everything was smooth sailing. I saw a few clients and everything”
“On your first day?! Damn, they’re already trying to work your ass”
I just laughed because it does sound that way. Even though actually I wanted to get my feet wet today. I didn’t mind it at all.
“It actually went smoother than I expected. Speaking of, y’all will never believe who one of my clients is”
“Bitch who?”, Roni spoke up first.
“Who?”, Jane perked up and asked.
“Trill”
“As in Mr. Trill that rescued you from the shootout?”
“Yeah, that cocky ass nigga”
“With that smooth ass skin, and sexy as hell might I add”, Roni said.
“He’s definitely easy on the eyes”, Jania agreed.
I rolled my eyes because he has already been a pain in my ass since the first encounter.
Then he comes in today talking cash money shit.
I am over his ass already. Though I know we have a long journey ahead.
Yet, all these heifers can do is discuss how good looking he is.
I hardly noticed because he’s so full of himself.
Either that or he just likes fucking with me.
“Enough about him. I have been thinking more about the wedding. Though Dom and I haven’t discussed it much, that’s what I have you guys for”
“You mean y’all haven’t discussed it once since being engaged?”, Roni asked sarcastically.
“We haven’t. I think he has just been consumed with work. But these are the different color schemes that I have in mine. Like a beige, deep brown, and gold or a soft pink and burgundy. What y’all think?”
They both gave me a knowing look. Like they knew I was trying to jump all over that conversation.
I just wanted to talk about the wedding to get my mind off how busy my man has been lately.
I know he didn’t propose to me for nothing.
That just wouldn’t make sense. He has to know that as a woman, once we’re engaged, we go into planning mode instantly.
It’s cool for me to talk about it with other people but the main person I want to talk about it with is him.
My girls read my energy, and they let me live this one time. For that I’m grateful because I didn’t want to debate. The conversation I had with my father has me slightly feeling some kind of way as it is. I didn’t need to hear it from my girls as well.
It’s just something about trying to bask in your own happiness, only for people on the outside having a completely different view of your relationship. I’m not going to let it get to me though. I’m happy and I want to keep it that way.
As we began to make wedding talk, that quickly steered the conversation in a more positive direction.
It wasn’t long before I was done preparing our dinner.
When I was done, I made sure the kitchen was spotless, except for the meal resting on the stovetop.
It was beginning to get late, so I put Zakai in the tub for his bath after he ate.
Once I bathed him, I let him play with his toys for a little while.
I sat on the toilet scrolling on TikTok when my phone dinged.
Dominic finally reached back out to let me know that work has been long as he was still wrapping up at the office.
It was kind of a bummer because the night has gotten away.
I really hoped that we would eat as a family and then take it in for the night.
It looks like Zakai will be sleeping soon and I wouldn’t be too far behind.
Once I had baby boy in bed, I went to fix me a plate.
I sat down in my living room and watched a little tv.
I just wanted to kill as much time as I possibly could, hoping to give Dominic time to get here.
I ate my food and had me a glass of wine.
Though the evening didn’t go exactly as I planned, I have to remember that today was definitely one for the books.
I’m living in my dream and that’s enough to put a smile back on my face.
Time was flying so there wasn’t anything else for me to do besides shower and get in bed.
After scrolling on my phone, I eventually dozed off.
Feeling that emptiness beside me alerted me from my sleep.
The sound of my front door closing alerted me after.
I checked my phone for the time. It was after twelve am.
I didn’t realize that I had been asleep for several hours already.
I only had about six more hours to be up for work.
I decided to just let it be for the night.
But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t bother me slightly.
I listened on as he took his shower. I eventually fell back into a deep slumber.
