One of the biggest things that I orried about hetherto show up at this very i I ram for months, and he actually came with me when I picked out the venue, so he knew He and I hadn’t talked since last week at the hospital I hadn’t attempted to reach out to him, and he hadn’t attempted to reach me either Of course, I still attended church on Sundays, and I even taught bible study last Wednesday and this Wednesday, but we didn’t say anything to each other

I couldn’t believe my father would fall out with me over who I wanted to date What annoyedme that I should date who I wanted, but when he was around, she never kept that say She needed to speak up when he was around and tell hi He wasn’t supposed to forcenot to reach out toBillion over hi, and my father could support me or not

“While they wait, take this out there with you,” I said and handed her a roll of raffle tickets

“Make sure that everyone gets one This is for the giveaway,” I told Twinkle since she was so anxious to get

outside

She took the items and left My section was already set up, so I took the time to walk over to thein the ballrooht about there being sooutside I couldn’t even find the words to express how thankful I was for this moment

Growing up, my mother would either read the bible to Naomi and me, or she would read Christian stories to us I used to love those books because they always had soe, I knew that I wanted to beco that it would be impossible to find tiot settled into , I would write ood on that promise My books did so well on Amazon Not only that, but they were also in libraries, schools, and churches around the world

The ti ready to pull outA few seconds later, the door opened, and it was ht behind her, dressed sharp, like he alas He even wore a hat, but he quickly re to read him, but honestly, it was hard to tell He didn’t look happy, but at the sary either

Myfroht up withme how proud she was of me

“I’ outside these doors to support you This moment makes me so proud to be your mother,” she told me, and she even teared up a little bit

I thanked her as I lifted my hands up and wiped a tear that fell from her eyes After she and I had our ed me as well

“Although you and I are nowhere near being on the best of terms, I have to admit that I am happy for you I kno hard you worked for this Will he be here this afternoon? If so, your mother and I have coladly leave right now,” my father spat

The second I was about to respond, the doors opened again This tiht behind her My heart started beating a mile per minute because I had no idea how this moment would turn out

My father’s head whipped around, and he saw Billion in the flesh I watched as he sucked his teeth Myfrom ear to ear as she looked at Billion When I saw Billionaire’s shirt, I had to adot a ss that shocked the heck out of me He wore a white V-neck shirt, which fit hi, the shirt read, The Pretty A Author is My Girl I knew my father probably wanted to kill him because of his shirt It was pretty much rubbed in his face that even if he didn’t like it, I was still going to continue seeing him

Billion wore black jeans, but they weren’t hanging as low as his jeans would usually hang Black Nike Air Max sneakers were on his feet, a couple of Cuban link chains were around his neck, plus a watch was on his wrist His waves were perfect like they alere, and his beard was nice and full Billion was constantly surprising me; he always came with flowers, and each time, the floould be more beautiful than the previous tier as hethat h him like he wanted to kill him
