“I would love to bring you downtown and let you speak in front of the people about this school. Your community backs you completely and I heard you own several businesses already.”

“I do.”

“Tell me, how does a guy like you from the streets turned your life around before the system could get a hold of you?”

“I’ve always had a goal in mind. The streets have claimed so many of our kids and I want to put a stop to it. I wanted a way out for me and my brother. Now that I have sons of my own, I don’t want them to see their dad behind bars. It was simple for me.”

“I like you.” He smiled. “I’m going to head back to my office and sign off on your paperwork for the school. You have our support fully. Anything you need, you let us know. I’ll have my secretary get with you about an interview. It would look good for both of us.”

“Thank you for taking the time to come and talk to me.”

“Congratulations, Larry. The City of Atlanta needs more like you.”

I smiled so big when he walked out the door. I was glad that the building was already standing and now all I had to do was get it furnished and start setting up interviews for instructors. I poured myself a drink and kicked my feet up on my desk. I lost everything I loved except my children. Somehow, I managed to keep pushing and make shit happen.

I pulled the drawer out and picked up the box that held the diamond ring I had planned on giving Blessyn, but it wasn’t time. I didn’t want to fuck with her healing process. Call me what you wanted but when a nigga like me goes through something and it’s always been the same woman by my side, I owed her everything. I was going to rush her but the more time we spenttogether the more we got comfortable. I sold three of my houses to move in the same building as her. Somedays I tell myself to move on because she wasn’t ready but every time, I laid with a woman just to fill a void or go on a date, it just never worked out.

I knew when we went to see Kason together, that we would never be able to get rid of each other. We were bonded together not only by our son, but Kason was the main thing holding our hearts together. We found love in a fucked way but nothing could change that now. It just made me feel good that she told me she forgave me. That lifted a load off me. I closed the drawer when Blessyn walked in with a stack of folders.

“I just had the best meeting of my life. Please don’t come in here with no shit.”

“You got to get this shit in order for your brother. Merci is doing what she can and I’m doing some as well but he gotta get his taxes together.”

“I told that nigga to hire a damn accountant. He wanna make his wife his financial person and shit. Look at this! Man get it off my desk and call my accountant to figure that shit out. I didn’t get into business to figure out shit.”

“What was in that box you were holding when I came in?”

“Nothing, now get that off my desk before you get shit mixed up in the folders.”

Blessyn nosy ass opened the drawer and pulled the box out anyway.

“This is nice. Who’s the lucky girl? I saw you were on a date the other night and didn’t want to disturb you.”

“You gon’ get enough of coming to my spot unannounced. Did you get an eyeful?”

“I did. The sad part is, she can’t swallow the dick like I can, but she was decent. I see why you always trying to get in my bed.”

She made my dick hard instantly with the way she was talking. I missed wrapping my hand around her neck while I fed her the dick. The last time we did that; she ended up pregnant.

“I gotta get my key fob from you before you fuck up my shit one night.”

“No need,” she slammed the box shut. “I’ll make sure to call next time before I come down there. Whenever you pop the question to the bitch, just make sure you teach her what you like in the bedroom. I would hate for you to marry a hoe and she not satisfy you.”

She snatched up the folders and walked out. I laughed as I swallowed down the rest of my drink. Yeah, she was definitely the one.

The End!
