watch the tears now on her mother’s face.
“I’m not you. I couldn’t ever do that to my kids. I couldn’t play favorites and push the other away!” Grabbing Jada around the waist I pull her away from the door.
“You tell Tom, I will make him pay for what he did to her. As for you, she doesn’t need you anymore. She has me.” I make a promise right then and there. Not only to Tom but to myself. I have to be a better man to her. She deserves so much more than I have given her.
Pulling her towards the sidewalk, I see my mother out of the corner of my eye.
“Creed?” She practically yells at me. Jada looks up with a slight smile and nods.
We walk over towards my old house where my mother stands.
“Hey, mom.” Her eyes tear up as she looks me over before throwing her arms around me.
“Oh Creed. I have missed you so much.” I never thought I would come back here and see her but I’m glad I did.
“I missed you too.” She pulls back and looks up at me, her hand running along my cheek. She looks just the same as when I left.
“You’re ok? You look good.” She looks me over one more time making me smile. We may not have always gotten along but she is my mother.
“I’m perfect mom. We just wanted to say hi.” Her eyes look from me to Jada and hold there.
“Jada? Oh my god!” She grabs Jada hugging her next.
“I heard what Tom did. Your mother tried to hide it when you left but I knew. He is a nasty piece of man.” Wiping at Jada’s tears I wonder how much my mom has changed the last few years.
“We need to get goin’.” I grip Jada’s hand in mine.
“You just got here. Don’t leave, not yet.” Her eyes plead with me but I want to get Jada alone. We need to talk things out.
“We’ll come by before we head out of town. We have shit to do right now.” My mom’s smile grows as she nods.
“I’m so glad to see you both.” Nodding with a slight smile, I pull Jada away and back towards the sidewalk.
“What are we doing?” Jada’s eyes lock onto mine.
“Gettin’ a tattoo. Want one?” She giggles like I was joking which I’m not. I have a fucking plan and I’m going with it.
We head back towards town and meet up with Tank and Cher at the tattoo parlor.
“You weren’t joking?” Jada gives me a sideways glance. She is so fucking beautiful she just doesn’t know.
“Fuck no. Come on.” Dragging her inside, I stop at the desk.
Jada
“Tank I need a favor.” Smiling sweetly up at him, he looks confused.
“Whatever you need, your man got it.” He chuckles slightly but I just look at him.
“What is it?” He finally cracks when I don’t budge. I like getting my own way.
I whisper my request to him and he laughs. Asshole.
“You’re not playin’?” Shaking my head, he walks away. I can’t stop the smile that tugs at me. I know what I’m doing.
“He’s fucking hot!” Cher grabs my arm giggling.
“He’s a nice guy. Come on.” I drag Cher along with me towards the back following one of the tattoo artists into a room.
“Have a seat and take of that shirt.” The man says and I do.
“Are you really getting a tattoo?” Cher smiles over at me where I sit.
“Not just a tattoo. It’s a brand.” Her eyes narrow as the man starts to work his magic. The feelings that I have flowing through me skyrocket my mood. I want so much for Creed to love this and I hope he doesn’t flip his shit.
We sit in the back for hours even after I heard Creed screaming about leaving me alone with some guy. Cher laughed her ass off.
“You really love him still don’t you?” Cher smiles as the man finishes up. I hope this is the right choice I just made. It is permanent.
“I never stopped. I just got lost for a while. I love him more than anything.” Smiling at her she beams.
“You always have loved him. I could always tell.”
“What’s up with you and Tank?” Wiggling my eyebrows at her, she laughs.
“I just met him but he seems nice. I don’t know a
