hanging out with me and my niece.”
Elisea was taken off guard by his bluntness. “My feet aren’t funky for one. And secondly, she’s my niece too. How about that?” Then her voice softened, thinking about her past mistakes. “And you’re absolutely right. I guess I have put a wall up, but I have my reasons.”
“Let me see. Give me those feet. “
Reluctantly, she slipped off of her Michael Kors flats, swung her legs over and put her feet on his lap.
Andrew lifted up Elisea’s feet and sniffed them.
“What are you doing, crazy?” she chuckled.
“I’m sniffing these dogs.”
“Well?” Elisea smiled at him.
“Hmm… well, they aren’t funky. They’re actually kind of cute. I think somebody just got a pedi.”
“Just get to rubbing!”
“Yes, Ma’am!” he said, and began rubbing her feet.
It felt good and relaxing to Elisea, so laid her head back and closed her eyes.
“So, tell me E. What is it going to take for me to break down that wall of yours?” Andrew asked.
Elisea opened up one eye. “Just keep rubbing.”
Andrew laughed. “Okay, E. Whatever you say. But let me say this: you are beautiful, talented and sexy without trying to be sexy. You love God, and your spirit is mesmerizing. And although you’re a tough nut to crack, I’m up for the job. I just ask that you give a brother a chance. I’m not him! ” Andrew intensified his massaging of her feet.
“Well, let me ask you something. What do you want from me? I already messed up once, so casual sex is off the table.”
“E, I’ve had my share of casual sex, and although it was good at the moment, I didn’t sell my company to find a woman to have casual sex with. Life was passing me by. I’m looking for a wife, not a cut buddy.”
“I hear you, and I commend you for having the courage to step out on faith. And may I add, your hands are magical!”
“Don’t start falling in love with me now! I can’t have you showing up at my door wanting a foot massage!” Andrew teased.
“You are so silly!” Elisea laughed.
“It’s good to see you smile. I’m glad that I had something to do with it,” Andrew said, looking at her.
“You’re a’ight. Thank you for the foot rub. Now, let me return the favor.”
Andrew perked up and asked, “You wanna massage my dogs?”
“Ugh no! But I will cook you dinner.”
“You can cook too?”
“I can do it all. You ain’t know? Let’s see what he’s got in this kitchen.”
“My kind of woman!” Andrew said, following behind Elisea and watching her booty jiggle as she walked.
He watched as Elisea made a chicken and broccoli casserole with the ingredients she found in the kitchen. He offered to help, but she wouldn’t have it. Instead, they enjoyed each other’s company and shared their life experiences with each other.

The family sat around laughing and talking when Edem’s cell phone went off. he removed himself from the room so that he could hear. When he returned and it looked like all of the color had drained from his face.
“Baby, what’s wrong? Edem?” Mama Eloise instantly became concerned.
“Baby brother, say something!” Junior demanded.
“It’s Lewis… he’s dead.” Edem dropped his head and walked out of the room.
Ruthie got up to follow him, but Junior stopped her. “I got this,” he said, and followed Edem outside where he found him sitting out on the patio with his head in his hands.
Junior sat down next to him and put his arm around his brother to console him. “Edem what happened?” he asked.
“They beat him to
