Chapter 16
"Mama!" Malcolm cried hugging Jazmine.
"I'm sorry Malcolm," Jazmine said trying to calm him down. She promised him that they would all go to the beach and than to Coney Island. She hated that she had to cancel their day out because she needed to find a dress for the wedding still for herself and Rosa.
"You promise!" he cried.
"I know little man I know," she said as she rubbed his back.
"You okay?" Tia asked as she came into the room. It broke her heart as she watched Malcolm cry. Jazmine manage to fix Tia's hair into the smaller braids she wanted and she did a great job. That stuff Jazmine made was amazing stuff.
"He's upset and he has a right to be," she said, "I promise to take the kids to Coney Island and the beach tomorrow but I need a dress for me and Rosa for the wedding still. I hate going back on my promise to them."
"Yeah I promise to take Donte too," she said.
"Maybe next time we can go," Jazmine said hugging Malcolm.
"Hey listen," Tia said, "I work for my mom as a designer for our company. We got some great stuff for kids too. I'm sure that you can find something from us."
"Don't you have wedding plans to worry about?" Jazmine asked.
"My mom said that everything is pretty much done and it would be a good few days to take it easy," she said, "and since you help me with this. It's the least I can do."
"Thank you," Jazmine said smiling, "and we can take the kids to Coney if you are feeling up to it?"
"What about Ming?" she asked.
"They have a family function to attend so it would be you, me and the kids," Jazmine said.
"Yeah," Tia said, "it sounds like fun."
"Did you hear that?" Jazmine said to Malcolm, "we're still going tomorrow and we are going with your aunt and Donte."
Malcolm turned up to Tia.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yes Malcolm," she said smiling, "and Donte is coming with us."
Malcolm gave the biggest smiled Tia has ever seen before. He took off running, shouting Donte and Rosa's name out. Jazmine laughs at his antics.
"You are really good with him," Tia said smiling sadly, "and I'm sorry about the way I treated you."
"I understand that you don't want to lose Malcolm," Jazmine said.
Tia gave her a confused look, wondering how she knew that.
"Caesar talked to me when Huey was considering getting us a hotel," she explaining everything, "I want you to understand that I have no intentions of taking Malcolm away from any of you."
"That's good to hear," Tia said sitting down beside her, "he is the last thing that Adrianne gave to this world."
"You were close to her I take it?" Jazmine asked.
"She wasn't just my cousin. She was my sister, my best friend," Tia said sadly, "but the last time I talk to her I was so angry at her. She was coming home but she was going to leave Huey and Malcolm behind."
"Huey told me some of it," Jazmine said, "I don't understand why she would leave such a beautiful boy behind?"
"Me either," she said softly, "I know she didn't like Huey controlling her when she was pregnant. But I know those rallies were getting more violent and I know it wasn't Huey's intention to tell her what to do. I send her a picture of Donte after he was born but she didn't respond. After Huey told me she passed, I was beside myself with guilt. After promising myself not to tear apart my family, I had Michael promise me never to go to those rallies again."
Jazmine allowed her to get it out of her system. She could tell this was building inside of her for a long time now. It was understanding that she was afraid her family would be torn apart and she was trying to keep the last thing her cousin had left.
"Has Malcolm ever met his grandparents?" Jazmine asked wondering.
But Tia shook her head, "They refuse to meet him after Adrianne's death. They are missing out on their only grandchild. He needs them in his life. Like he needs a mom."
"Did that bother you? That I was willing to be Malcolm's mother?"
"At first it did," she confessed, "that you were using Malcolm to get to Huey so he could take care of Rosa."
Jazmine was offended at first but it was understandable. She knew a few girls who would most likely do that.
"But after I saw the interaction between yourself and Malcolm, I saw that you genuinely care about him and how you not only treat Rosa with love and respect but him as well. Like he was your own," she said, "and the way Huey is with your daughter? It's something I wanted for him and I cannot thank you enough for that now. Because he needs that in his life. So thank you."
"My little man is very easy to love," Jazmine said, "and it's easy because I know what he was going through, like my baby girl."
"You don't have to answer but what happen to Rosa's father?" Tia asked wondering what she met by knowing what her baby girl was going through.
"It's okay. Rosa's father didn't want to be in her life. He had two women in his life at the time I conceived Rosa. Me and his now wife."
"Damn that sounded like an asshole," she said, "you don't seem to be the other woman type girl."
"I didn't know until I saw his engagement announcement," Jazmine said, "and my parents were so embarrassed by it, they told me not to contact them anymore."
"You were on your own?" Tia asked.
"Yes but I wouldn't give up either of my kids because they are the best damn thing that has ever happen to me," Jazmine said feeling a lot better about her situation with her ex. People knew that she wasn't the other woman, just stuck with a guy who couldn't keep it in his pants.
"I know what you mean," Tia said smiling, "my kids are my world along side with Michael."
:::::
"Mommy watch!" Donte cried out from the water.
"Don't go to far out Donte!" Tia cried as she held Jaxon in her arms. Jazmine laughs at the kids antics but they were having fun and that meant a lot to her. Tia sat back down beside her and let Jaxon enjoy the sun.
They already went to Luna Park for some of the rides. They all had a favourite, Malcolm liked the Magic Bikes, Donte loved going on the Tea Party and Rosa was excited about the Mermaid Parade. They took turns taking the kids on the rides, even Tia when on a ride with Rosa. They played a lot of games such as Goblet Toss, Fried Frog and Break-a-Plate. But the funniest of all was when Malcolm won the Whack a Mole against adults.
After a good lunch at Place at Beach, they headed out to the beach for the afternoon. The kids were having an awesome time.
"Thanks for this," Tia said as they watch the kids running to and against the waves of the water, "this was a great idea."
"I'm enjoying it too," Jazmine said smiling. They ended up having debates about animal rights and talked about fashion. They really did have a lot in common.
"Have you tried to contact your parents after Rosa was born?" she asked.
"Yeah I send my dad an email when she was born," Jazmine confessed, "but they didn't say anything back. So I figured that I was on my own."
"Until Huey," she said smiling.
"Yeah until Huey and Malcolm," she said.
"Mama look!" Rosa said running towards them. She was showing off a stone she found.
"Oh baby that's beautiful," Jazmine said looking at her stone.
"Can I keep it?" she asked with those puppy eyes.
"Will this be your only one?" Jazmine asked back.
The woman chuckled when her little head nodded. Jazmine taken the stone and placed it in her bag as Rosa ran back off towards the boys. Donte allowed her to join them in their game.
"I think my baby boy has a crush on her," Tia said teasing.
Jazmine laughs, "You have an amazing little guy. He's be great to her."
"Usually he isn't," Tia said, "but with her he shares his toys, blankets and let's her join him in anything he doing. He really taken to her like anything I've ever seen."
"Isn't he that way with Malcolm?" Jazmine asked wondering where she was going with this.
"He is but only to a certain degree," Tia said, "Rosa is something special to him. And if he is anything like his father? He's going to cherish it."
:::::
"Are you going to work tomorrow Tia?" Caesar asked after everyone had dinner. He was happy to see Tia so relaxed. With the stress of the wedding and with dealing with the business while they were going away, it was great to see her as herself. And just as he predicted, she was becoming great friends with Jazmine.
"Yeah we're going to have a girls day at the business," Tia said as she packed up more indian food leftovers. Knowing the Freeman's were vegetarians, it was a safe option. Jazmine and herself had a great debate on eating meat earlier and she could respect her decision.
"So are you working or just playing around?" he asked.
"I'm going in to oversee what needs to be done with the managers before we head to Jamaica," Tia said, "and I feel bad about Jazmine and Rosa not being able to go shopping. We have some samples that will fit their needs."
"So you're okay?" Caesar asked as the kids laughed in the living room. Huey and Jazmine were watching them as they did the dishes. "I know that you miss Adrianne…"
"Everyday," she whispered, "but I wanted what was best for Malcolm. And Huey did make a great choice."
"How do you know?"
"Because I never seen either of them so happy. They got what they deserved all along. Family."
:::::
"Wow you guys do beautiful work," Jazmine said as she search through dresses. Rosa and herself were having fun at the fashion studio. Rosa loved trying on all the dresses meant for the kids.
"Thank you," Tia said, "we are proud of our work."
"If we can figure out what to do about those white gowns," Eve said walking into the sample room.
"There all beautiful," Jazmine said looking at them.
"Sadly they don't sell as well as they should," Tia said, "but we want to do something about them because they are some of our best work."
"I'm surprise you don't sell them as elopement dresses," Jazmine said as Rosa was twirling around in a cute white and black dress.
"That's it!" Tia said excited.
"That's what?" Jazmine asked wondering what she say.
"Mom she right we can sell them as elopement dresses," Tia said excited.
"Is there a market for it?" Eve asked.
"I'm sure there is. New York is becoming a place where people all over the world is getting married," she said, "if we can sell them as is so woman don't have to worry about getting a dress, than…"
"There is a possibility that we can have something new on the market," Eve said thoughtfully, "I'll contact my friend Jonathan who does wedding planning and have the girls research elopements in New York."
"Mom," Tia said stopping her, "what's with the dress?"
Eve looked down at the dress in her hands than remembers why she went in there in the first place.
"Oh I saw this in one of the designs rooms," she said showing off a beautiful emerald green dress, "I thought it would look good on Jazmine. Brings out your eyes dear."
"Oh this is gorgeous!" Jazmine exclaimed, "I love the cut."
"I didn't think about that one," Tia said, "we haven't put it on the market yet."
"Oh I couldn't use something that isn't even on the market yet," Jazmine said.
"Try it on before deciding that," Tia said pushing Jazmine into the changing room they provide for models.
Jazmine shook her head but put on the dress. She had to admit she felt beautiful in the dress as she walked out in it.
"Oh mama!" Rosa said running up to her in the same dress she was wearing.
"Oh yes child that's the one," Eve said smiling.
"I love it," Jazmine said but hesitated, "but I don't want to take a product of yours that you-"
"You're taking it," Eve said, "and that dress your little one is in she can have."
"I can?" Rosa asked looking hopeful.
"Of course darling," Eve said smiling, "I don't have a granddaughter to dress up."
As Rosa cried out in joy, Tia shot her mother a look. But Eve just smiled at her daughter.
"And if you are concerned than you can do something for me," she said turning towards Jazmine.
"What's that?"
Eve smile as Tia was curious to what her mother was up to.
:::::
"Huey are you sure?" Caesar asked as they went into his work. After seeing the excitement on Rosa's face and being here with them. Huey had something to do. But he needed help. After the great day Jazmine, Tia and Rosa had at the studio. The girls agreed to watch the kids as the guys wanted to go out. After making sure the kids were settled watching a movie. They were suppose to go to a bar but Huey needed information. He promise to go after he had it. Because no one was going to fuck with his family.
"I'm sure," Huey said as they sat down to the computer at Caesar's office.
"Okay man," he said as he started typing something into the computer, "so who is this guy you are trying to find?"
"Someone I hope never comes."
:::::
Huey walked into the room where he was staying with Jazmine in Caesar's home. She was sleeping softly, curled up into her pillow as her body was waiting for him. Huey knew he was a lucky man. No woman could compare to her. His lover, the mother to his children and the woman who had became his life. He didn't understand how he functioned without her for so long. Even though they had their differences he couldn't deny how well they work together. When he was at his weakest, Jazmine was at her strongest. It always went both ways with them. Something he never experience before with any women had ever been with.
"Huey?"
Huey was snapped out of his thoughts as Jazmine slowly woke up.
"Did you have a good time?" she asked as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
He didn't because of the information he was finally able to obtain. He needed to protect his family.
"You know that's something I don't enjoy doing," he said honestly. Because it was the truth.
"But you did do it for you friend," she said getting up and stretching. There was always something about her that was desirable to him. Even now.
"I did," he said taking off his coat, shirt, pants and socks before crawling into bed with her. He didn't know if it was the drinks or the way she looked at him. But he wanted her and he wanted her now.
Huey placed a sweet kiss on her lips before slowly they deepen it.
Jazmine ended the kiss and gave him a questioning look.
"I want you," he said kissing her again.
Jazmine allowed to be kiss and lay back down. Huey slipped off her top and sleep shorts, leaving her naked. Kissing down to her neck, he sucked on her pulse point and she moaned.
"We don't want to wake anyone up," he said quietly as he taken off his boxer briefs.
She nodded her head as Huey resumes kissing her. She did her best to quiet her moans as Huey rubbed his harden member against her mould until he entered her. They both took deep breaths before he started to pump inside of her. Jazmine grabbed onto his back and allowed her to slide all over it. Huey kept pumping, loving the feeling how responsive she was and how she was enjoying what he was doing to her.
Jazmine could barely hide her cries of pleasure as she was reaching her end. She cried into Huey's mouth as they both finish together.
When Huey was able to breath normally again, he rolled off of her and curled her up against his chest as she began to listen to his heartbeat.
"We should get some sleep," he said.
"Yeah," Jazmine said, "we have a big day tomorrow."
He watch her again when she fell asleep. And she was right, they had a big day tomorrow. He was going to witness his two friends in marriage. Something that has always kind of freaked him out but it was something he was thinking about. Marrying Jazmine didn't freak him out like he would have originally thought. And if there was a chance to officially have Rosa has his daughter: a Freeman would make his world.
As Jazmine breath softly in her sleep, Huey curled up to her as he rested his eyes.
Huey knew what the next step was for him and he wasn't afraid.
