if I truly had the heart to take it further than our lips, but I knew that that was the beginning of a new Ramae. Jay had better start getting it, because I stil had it.
CHAPTER 4
My ME day was a success. I kept my mouth shut about my experience with Kai. Not even Tori would know about my lusty moment with my son’s friend. Yes, I was being sneaky but it was wel deserved. I hoped that moment would be able to hold me over until Jay got it together. His neglect for me made moving on guilt free, extremely easy. I didn’t even bring up sex with my husband anymore. If he was involved with another woman or whatever the matter may be, then that was something that I’d have to find out whenever it surfaced.
Besides, someone once told me lies in a relationship are like oil in water, they always rise to the top. I just hoped that his reached the top before mine.
It had been over a week and Kai hadn’t stepped foot in my house since. I can admit I felt played at first, but tried my best to let my insecure mind let the issue go. I mean realy where was the relationship going to go? I think the mystery behind the kiss and the fact that I couldn’t tel anyone made it bubble in my body even more. I wasn’t sure if I should’ve caled him or be grateful that I got away with my scandal. Wel , I guess I only had one choice because he bolted out the door so fast he never even asked me too cal. I was so sprung off that little moment you would’ve thought he had me handcuffed to the bed performing al my fantasies. That man realy was sexy, he inspired me to get back on my diet plan and work out harder than ever. I lost another 3lbs just a week. If he decided to come back around I wanted to be ready.
Wel, today was Jalal’s graduation and I needed to be focused on being the proud mother of a high school graduate and future colege footbal star. I couldn’t wait to cheer his name as he walked down the aisle. We sat through the long speeches given by the principal and some tal skinny dark skinned girl, the Valedictorian, my face was lit with the biggest glow.
Ear to ear I smiled and my eyes smiled along with my mouth. Kahliyah was on camera duty and al of my boys were present. I leaned over to Jamir and whispered to him that I can’t wait to see him up there in a couple of years. Jay looked so proud of our family which made my heart swel. We did it. Whether we were having the most romantic relationship or not didn’t matter anymore. At this moment al that mattered was that we had family and that we proved to be great parents. Hearing Jalal’s name being caled as he crossed the stage and accepted his diploma officialy closed another chapter in my life, and began to prepare me for a new one.
A few more photos, some waves goodbye, and we headed back to the house. Jason was having a graduation cookout so we had to hurry back to setup. Porscha was already in the house cutting up potatoes for the potato salad and had the gril going. You could smel the BBQ a mile away and my stomach yearned for some savory pork! But, I was stil on my diet so I stayed away from the ribs and prepared my own chicken breast, salad, and fruit platter to set to the side. Of course I had to have a little bit of potato salad! The Dj arrived, the food was ready, and teenagers began pouring into my house. Our family and friends filed the table with gifts and cards, Jalal couldn’t have been happier.
A little tipsy off of some red wine Porscha gave me as a “good mommy gift”, had me feeling extra nice on this special occasion.
My girl and I had been joking and laughing for hours before I even noticed how bad I needed to use the ladies room. I stumbled my way upstairs to the bathroom in the biggest rush I could manage. Too many cups of wine and not a strong enough bladder! As soon as I reached the top of the steps the bathroom door swung open and there Kai stood. It was an awkward moment for the both of us. Kai had a sense of nervousness in his eyes and he
