Chapter 1-The Present
The past is history
The future is a mystery
Today is gift
That is why it is called the present
The doors of the school opened and voices of excited children could be heard. We turned around with
smiles on our faces greeting each child until we found the one who belonged to us.
‘Mummy!’ I heard Karma yell out loud and I looked in her direction. I saw her black curls bouncing on her small
oval head as she ran to my open arms.
‘Hey baby, how was school?’
‘Oh mummy it was amazing!’
‘Really? Well tell me all about it, but first let’s find your brother’
We held hands as we walked around the school looking for my elder son TJ. Karma found him first as she pointed
excitedly. ‘There he is mummy!’ She yelled his name and he turned and waved with a big smile on his face. He was
talking to a man I had never seen before and I worried a bit so I approached them quickly. I heard him saying thank
you. In his voice I heard a lot of excitement.
‘TJ are you ready?’ I didn’t look up at the man. Instead I looked down at my son.
‘Mum this is the coach of the basketball team. Coach Trevor’
I froze at the sound of that name as flashbacks of my past came back. Please don’t let it be him. I looked up slowly and
immediately regretted it. TJ was talking but I didn’t hear anything he said. Trevor held half a smirk and half a smile on
his face. My heart was beating too fast and I felt light headed.
‘MUM…are you listening? Coach says I have potential and I can be on the team. So can I?’
‘NO’ I took his hands and turned on my heel but Trevor held me by the shoulder. ‘Hey TJ take your sister to your mum’s
car and I’ll talk to her ok’ I was amazed to see how obedient TJ was and I smiled inwardly, but my face showed rage.
‘How are you Bianca?’
‘I been better Trevor’
‘Why can’t he be on the team?’
‘Because all he will learn is how to break a girl’s heart’
He lowered his head in shame as he also remembered our past together. ‘I’m sorry’ was all he said
‘Too little too late’
‘You moved on though. 2 kids. I don’t have any’
I looked back at my children. It all came back and I remembered it like it was yesterday. It’s been more than 10
years and I’ve held this secret for so long. Maybe it’s time I let it out. I looked back at Trevor. The resemblance
was too striking. ‘Yes you do’
‘What are you talking about B?’ he called me by his old nickname for me and I blushed. I took in some deep
breathes as I closed my eyes.
‘Bianca? What do you mean?’ My mother had warned me about all this but I chose to ignore her and now it’s
back to haunt me.
‘TJ and Karma are both yours’ There I said it. I sighed as I turned around to hide the tears and I walked away
quickly leaving him shocked. He ran after me and grabbed me turning me around to face him. His hands held my
face wiping the tears away. ‘How can that be?’
I looked up. ‘I don’t know. But they are yours beyond a doubt’
‘That’s not possible B. I mean…TJ ok but Karma too?’
I nodded trying to block out images of us together but it was all too vivid in my mind. I felt his lips kissing mine
and his arms around my waist. I remembered our lovemaking. He wasn’t my first boyfriend but it was
him I gave it up too. What a mistake; a very big mistake.
‘We need to talk about this B’ he seemed frustrated and at the same time pleased; did I make a mistake telling him
all this?
‘Nothing to talk to about’
‘Bianca wait’
He said my name out loud as I walked away without turning back. It was hard for me but years ago I swore that I
was through with it. I swore that I’d never open up my heart again. If I stay here I’m scared that I will end up loving
Trevor like I once did.
‘BIANCA…look out’ I turned at the sound of Trevor yelling for me and saw him running towards me. I also saw a
red Mercedes coming straight at me. I tried to run but my feet felt rooted to the ground. Just as I was able to move
I felt the ground move from underneath me and my body was hurled up in the air.
I watched as my body hit the ground and Trevor rushed to my side. The driver was out of his car holding his head
in his hands. Poor feller; it wasn’t his fault. I hadn’t been looking at where I was going. Trevor was cradling my body
in his arms. ‘Bianca, baby come on now. Don’t die on me, not now. We got a family now. I need you…more than you
can know’ he was crying and people were staring at him. I suppose they didn’t expect that I once loved this basketball
coach/ex NBA player. I wanted to open my mouth and tell them my story, our story. I wanted to stroke his face.
Instead I closed my eyes as my body was placed in the ambulance and Trevor took my kids in his car and followed me.
They all had tears in their eyes and I couldn’t watch them.
You must be wondering what on earth is going on. Well I have a story to tell you. Perhaps at the end I will wake up
but for now in order to better understand me you must pay attention. My story is one of love, betrayal, pain and all
the things in between. Since I have the time, I will tell you. Provided that you have the time of course. Perhaps after
this I will awake.
Before we start though I suggest you find the Destiny Fulfilled album by Destiny’s Child because I exist within the
lines and verses of the songs. Each song is a chapter in my life that I have struggled to get past. So here we go…
Authors Note: I'm starting this new story to test my boundaries a bit.
I'd appreciate some good critics please, both positive and negative.
I hope you all enjoy this one! I'm having fun writing it up!
And thank you to Janae for the brilliant banner!!!
