We spoke for the next hour until we both had to go ... we said our good-byes and hung up.
*******
I pulled into the half filled parking lot of the Miami's Children’s hospital and parked my Black Dodge Charger Hemi 2009 behind a Lime green station wagon. I grabbed the duffel bag with Mj’s things from the passenger’s side and got out, setting the alarm before entering the building.
I got off on the eighth floor and entered Mj’s room.
I closed the door gently behind me as I noticed the huge teddy bear propped up in the corner and the many balloons that read “Get Well Soon.” I smiled as I watched him sleep and pulled a chair beside his bed. His skin didn’t look as pale as it did yesterday and I breathed a sigh of relief. I noticed a second teddy bear propped up beside the bed. I removed the card and read it …
Hey baby,
I’m sorry I can’t visit you but I hope you get well soon and I hope the bears and balloons brighten your day. If you look real close, you’ll find a surprise.
Love always,
Grandma
I laughed a little and closed the card, resting it in the bear’s lap. “Hi mommy.” I looked up and smiled as he rubbed his eyes. “Hey baby, how do you feel?”
“Okay.” He shrugged slightly. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“It doesn’t?” He shook his head. “No” “Well that’s good. Are you hungry?”
“No … aunty Mecey gave me something to eat” “All right.”
He looked around the room and smiled a bit. “Are they mines?”
“Mine,” I corrected him. “And yeah, they’re for you ... they’re from grandma.” His eyes lit up. “Really?”
“Yeah.” The door opened and the doctor walked in, clipboard in hand as usual. “Good morning,” he smiled. I smiled back. “Morning”
“How are you doing?” “I’m fine” I replied. “Good to hear.” He looked at me before continuing. “The clot is completely dissolved … however, he shouldn’t fly out of the country for the next month or so” ... “We’re still going to keep him on oxygen for the next few hours to make sure everything is under control. He’ll be able to leave by tomorrow” “Thank you” I spoke, releasing a small smile. “No problem. My name is doctor Terk by the way.” He wrote something down on the clipboard. “Have a nice day Ms. Jackson”
“Thanks” I replied before he walked out. “Am I staying here?” Mj asked. “Just until tomorrow, okay?”
“Okay … where is daddy?” “He’s working, but he promised to come see you when you get home.” He smiled, “Okay.”
Just then Bre walked in with Mecey behind her holding a tray. “Why are you smiling?” she asked Mj, kissing his cheek.
“Because, his mommy is here” I replied, smiling
“Oh yeah, he’s a momma’s boy … I almost forgot” she replied
“No I’m not” Mj defended. “I’m not a momma’s boy”
“That’s right baby, you tell her” I chimed in.
“Are too” Mecey responded, putting her face right before his
“Am not”
“Are too” she repeated, making a silly face. He giggled and she kissed his nose.
“My baby is not a momma’s boy”
Bre looked at me. “Kie please, he’s like your shadow”
“Like? He is her shadow” Mecey spoke, smiling. She pulled a chair beside mine and swung her legs over mine. “What did the doctor say?”
“He said the clot’s dissolved, but they’re going to keep him on oxygen to make sure everything’s under control.” Bre opened a small cupboard below the sink and revealed junk food galore. “When is he leaving?” “Tomorrow” I replied. I eyed the contents of the cupboard. “Where did you get all that?” “I snuck it in … you know I had to hook up my godson.” Bre shook her head. “You are going to get your ass fired” “Please, I run this” Mecey replied. “Riiight” Bre and I spoke in unison before bursting out in laughter. Mj giggled along with us and she threw a couple fruit loops at him -- which he ate happily.
Time went by quickly and before I knew it, it was 1:17 p.m. Mj was sleeping again and Mecey and Bre were snacking while watching As the world turns. “I’m sick of this Bitch always crying” Bre voiced, slouching in her chair. I laughed a little and took a handful of chips from her plate, getting up. “I have to go, by the time I get home it’ll be time to leave with my mom” “She sold another house?” Mecey asked. “Yeah” I answered. “But I’ll be back when it’s finished”
“Are you sleeping here?” “Yeah” “All right … I’ll ask them to bring in one of the converting chairs” “Thanks” I said, picking up my cell phone. “Later Bre” “I’ll be here when you get back” she replied, not taking her eyes from the TV screen. I smiled and left.
I got home at around 2:30 p.m. and took another shower. I pulled my still straightened hair into a ponytail and slid on my sun glasses as the intercom in my room beeped, letting me know my mother was downstairs.
I exited the building and a few guys whistled as I approached my mother’s White Maybach. I got into the passenger’s seat and said hello to my sister.
My mother looked at me. “Where is the rest of your skirt?”
“Not here?”
She shook her head and drove off and I looked down at the faded jeans skirt I had decided to wear. I had to admit, it was extremely short … but it was a perfect fit.
We drove for hours -- approximately one n a half -- and spoke about everything in general before pulling up to a mansion that sat on a huge piece of property.
Toya and I were in awe as my mother drove up the driveway, which was packed with expensive cars.
“Mom, this guy you sold the house to, what does he do?” Raven asked
“He’s a producer” she answered. “I think his name is some wierd like Spectacular”
My heart skipped a beat. “What?”
“Oh my God! I’m going to meet Spectac Smith!” Rae some-what screamed, getting excited.
“Don’t get too excited now Raven.” My mother voiced. “We’re just passing through.”
Spectacular Smith... Mr Smith.
When my mother mentioned the name this morning, it didn’t ring a bell ... now I was deafened.
My mother parked behind a Black Ferrari and I got out along with my sister. We walked up the stairs to the main doors and were greeted by Omarion's O … I’m guessing he produced that too.
There were celebrities everywhere, and Raven was absolutely star struck. She ran off in the direction that Drake was in while my mother said something to me. It came across as more of a blur due to the loud music, but I nodded anyway and she headed up the winding stair-case to the second floor.
After stumbling upon two wrong turns and a porn scene, I finally found the kitchen. The glass doors that led to the pool area were open and a few girls turned to look at me -- most of them wearing next to nothing.
I slid the sun glasses up and rested them on top of my head, swinging the refrigerator door open. I scanned it’s contents before taking a bottle of water. Liquor wasn’t really my thing and neither was coke.
I closed the refrigerator door and some-what froze as he walked in, looking good enough to eat. He spotted me as I turned around and said something to the female he was with. In turn, she shook her hair into her back and gave me a disapproving look before walking into the living room. What the hell that bitch dnt know me?
“Hey ...Kiery right?”
It came to mind to ask how he knew my name, but my mom sold him the house, so that wouldn’t be a smart thing to ask. “Yeah.”
He smiled. “I’m Spectacular”
“Nice to meet you.” I spoke, releasing his hand from the shake.
There was silence for a while and I felt awkward. I really didn’t want to see him again ...especially not after my near death fall the day before -- and my stomach was doing flips, on no damnn wat if i do sum stupid...
We both looked toward the pool area as F.L.Y, Swag surfin flowed through the speakers.
“You wanna dance?”
“Uh, sure” I replied.
He led me through the glass doors towards a small section where everyone was dancing and that’s when I realized the pool area was a lot bigger than it seemed in the kitchen. A few eyes stuck to us as we walked to the middle and I regretted not wearing a longer skirt.
We danced face to face for a while until Avant, Read my mind came on and I turned my back towards him.
Then things started to heat up. He placed his hands on my waist and pulled me toward him.
I grinded my lower half against his manhood as his hands slipped down to my hips, keeping me there. The grinding became intense as I leaned my head back onto his shoulder ... and somewhere between the surroundings becoming a blur, my skirt riding higher and his Dick growing harder, I realized we were sweating. I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and the breathing he generated into my ear didn’t help the situation. My heart was beating at an alarming rate and I felt his pounding through his White beater. The song slowly came to an end and we slowed our movements, breathing harder than we were before. A few people applauded and I didn’t realize it was directed at us until he started laughing, showing his pearly whites. I shook my head as they yelled a few select comments and looked up at him. He gave me a sexy half-smile and stared at me as if he had seen something that wasn’t there before. “You have beautiful eyes, are they like green and hazel?” “Yeah they change with my mood... thanks.” I replied. "So what does green mean" i smirked and whispered to him "It means im really feelin like going away with you right now" He slid his hands to my lower back and was bout to pull me much closer until a girl that looked to be about twenty approached us. She was actually very pretty, until she started talking about herself ... the more she spoke, the uglier she got and I sized her up in a matter of minutes. She looked at me and smiled. “May I cut in?”
“Sure” I replied, looking at Spectacular.
He stood there for a while, looking at me, until I called his name. “Spectacular”
“What?” he asked.
I smiled. “In order for her to cut in, you have to let me go.”
He looked down at his hands which were still planted on the small of my back and laughed. “My bad.”
She smiled as he let me go and I headed back toward the kitchen. The water bottle I held earlier was no longer in my grasp -- hell if I knew what happened to it.
I opened the refrigerator and took another one as my mother walked into the kitchen. “I’ve been looking all over for you.”
“Are you ready?” I asked
“Just about, I just have to say good-bye to a few people. Rae waiting in the car”
“Ok.” I spoke, walking out.
I finally found the car after about 15 minutes of walking around this bi ass place, and when I got to it, my mother was already seated.
I opened the door to get in but stopped when I heard my name ... I turned around and saw Spectacular walking out of the house. He started running up to me and I shut the door and met him half-way.
“Sorry about Yaya cutting in.” He said.
I smiled. It was cute how he felt he had to apologize. “It’s fine, nothing personal.”
Raven jumped out the car and ran up to us. “Oh my God ... can I get your autograph?”
“No, Rae.” I answered for him.
“Nah, it’s cool ... sure thing.” He said, smiling.
He signed the piece of paper she held in her hand and she stuck her tongue out at me before walking back to the car.
He laughed as she got in and turned his attention back to me, clearing his throat. “Uh, I was wondering if you want to go out later on ... maybe get something to eat.”
I tilted my head to the side. “Mr. Smith, are you asking me out on a date?”
He laughed. “Nobody said anything about a date ... I just want to feed you” ... “And maybe after, we can go somewhere and relax a bit.”
I smiled. “Sounds tempting, but I can’t.”
He looked disappointed and I felt the sudden need to explain.
“My son is in the hospital and I have to get back.”
He shifted his eyes from mine and I could tell he was caught off guard by my statement.
“You have a son?”
“Yeah.”
He looked at me for a while. “Well ... how about I give you my number, and you call me when you’re free?”
I eyed him. “Are you serious?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” He asked, puzzled.
“Well, because every time I tell I guy I have a son, they run like hell.”
He laughed. “I can see how having a child is intimidating. But yeah, I’m serious.”
I laughed a little. “See, that’s how I know you’re crazy”
“Nah .. I’m just a sucker for a beautiful woman.”
I laughed.
“So does that mean you’ll take it?” He asked.
“Yeah.” I replied.
He put his number into my phone and waved good-bye to my mother and sister before walking back to the house. I smiled and walked back to the car ... somehow feeling that infatuation was setting in.
