Chappy 4 enjoy!
Part 4
I woke up the next morning to someone poking me. I opened my eyes to find Maddie sitting on my left side poking my cheek.
I laughed. "Maddie what are doing in here?" I asked.
"I was bored" She said pushing her headband back to keep her face clear.
I looked at the clock noon. I slept a long time.
"well let me get dressed and have something to eat and we can play with Sammy" I said pushing the covers aside and getting up.
"everyone is coming over" She said hopping off the bed and retreating to her room.
Everyone? I asked myself. Did that include Troy?
I got ready and an hour later, Ryan and Kelsi were over and we were chatting on the back porch watch Chad and Maddie play basketball.
"we missed you last night" Kelsi said from Ryan's lap.
"I know I wasn't feeling well" I said still feeling uneasy because I didn't know if Troy was coming or not.
"yeah Taylor told us, but it would have been more fun if you had came how's Jazzy anyway?" Ryan said placing his head on Kelsi's side. They were so cute together. That was an example of love, true love, along with Taylor and Chad. The love that I wanted.
"we still have time before we head back to our lives, we can spend tons of time together and she's good she's with my mom cause she had school this week" I said looking in the direction that Chad had yelled. I looked at the back gate, and there stood Troy ready to play basketball with his best friend.
"can you excuse me I have to talk to Taylor?" I asked standing up from the patio chair. I headed inside to find Taylor in the kitchen making lemonade
"Taylor, Troy is here" I said and she knew immediately that I was uncomfortable.
"well you can't avoid him forever" she said getting out a serving tray.
"I know I just don't feel like facing him after all these years, what do you even say to the guy that broke your heart even though you still love him, hey it's nice to see you thanks for hurting me by the way we have a daughter?" I said leaning against the sink.
"well go see your dad, it's been awhile since you've seen him" Taylor suggested while getting out cups and putting them on a tray.
"no then I'm flaking out on Ryan and Kelsi, and I do need to be here cause I have a case to work on" I said pushing my black locks away from my face.
"you have a new case?" Taylor asked picking up the tray.
"yeah new client I have to meet with when I get back" I said looking out the kitchen window to see Troy and Chad engaged in an one on one game that could last hours.
"since they're preoccupied tell Ryan and Kelsi that you have a case and you'll see them at the reunion tomorrow" Taylor said walking to the back door.
"yeah I can do that" I said to make sure I had the confidence enough to even be in the same area as Troy without feeling scared out of my mind.
That night I sat crossed legged on my bed with my laptop in my lap going over my case notes when Chad walked in.
"Gabs can we talk?" he asked sitting on the bed in front of me.
"sure Chad" I put my laptop down and turned my attention to him.
"I know it's awkward between you and Troy but don't you think it's time for you two to talk" he said all seriousness in his face.
"did Taylor put you up to this?" I asked
"no I just noticed you avoiding him, and your like my sister Gabs I hate seeing you uncomfortable especially since my god daughter doesn't know her dad" he said patting my knee.
"I'm just not ready to face him, but I know I have too" I said looking at chad's face which turned into a half smile.
"well don't worry if he hurts you again I'll rip him a new one" Chad said winking.
I laughed. "thanks Chad" I said as I hugged him.
"daddy, mommy says you have to read me my bedtime story" Maddie said walking in, in her pajamas
"I'll do it" I offered
"you sure?" Chad asked.
"yeah Maddie and I can have a sleepover in here and you and Taylor can have a sleepover of your own" I said smirking
"Montez you need a life" Chad said leaving the room.
"alright Maddie climb in bed with me and we can have a sleepover tonight" I said getting under the sheets and comforter.
"ok" Maddie replied getting in next to me.
I told Maddie a story and she fell asleep instantly. My phone rang and I picked it up before it could wake up Maddie.
"hello?" I whispered into the phone wondering who would call me this late
"Hi mommy" I heard my angel say on the other end.
"Jazzy shouldn't you be in bed?" I asked her looking to see what time it was in LA.
"not yet grandma said I could call you and tell you my good news" Jasmine said excited and high pitched.
"what good news?" I asked
"I got student of the month" I could hear her smiling.
"that's great, but mommy is tired so can I call you tomorrow?" I asked her feeling my eyes get heavy.
"yeah" she said the tiredness getting to her too.
"night baby girl I love you and sweet dreams ok?" I said
"night mommy I love you too" she said hanging up.
I sighed and put the phone down. If only Troy had been around for jasmines ten years if life. He would see that she was like him just as she was like me. But I think that was the other reason why I was terrified of this weekend. I drifted off to sleep thinking about Jazzy my sweet angel who deserves everything in the world.
