“ You are going to need me one day soon, and I will
repay your brotherly loyalty. ” He walked out of the
room as his call connected.
Miriam ’ s sights now went to
her baby boy. This one she could read like a book. Yes, he was the
quiet one, the one that never talked about himself, or his
feelings. He just put them in a song and it told the story. “ Tell me about Heaven ’ s
Gate. ” She watched his suppressed surprised expression
and smiled. She had not lost her touch.
He sat forward
and smiled. “ I
can ’ t yet. ”
“It ’ s a beautiful
song. ”
“For a
beautiful woman, ” Eric replied as he nodded his
head. “ She ’ s the one, she just
doesn ’ t know it yet, ” he said in his quiet
confident manner. He stood and walked over to the window of his
family room that allowed a spectacular view of the back of his ten
acre estate. Before Siri, the scene was the only thing that helped
to create his music. “ I purchased a small
place in Richmond to be near her. ” He turned back to
his mother, “ She ’ s dealing with a lot
and I want to be there for her. When she ’ s ready,
I ’ ll be there. ”
Miriam looked from one son to the other. She
had to meet these two sisters that had completely captured her
sons.
Jason walked
back into the room as he closed his cell phone. “ We have
been invited to Sunday dinner tomorrow. Anyone up for a quick trip
to Richmond? ”
Chapter 8
Kerri and
Miriam
A lthough they spoke
every day, it had been two weeks since TK had seen Jason. After
their last visit Eric had shows in New York, Washington, DC and
Charlotte, North Carolina. Eric had requested shows only on the
east coast for the next year and they were all limited engagements.
For that TK was eternally grateful. Her studio was picking up
business and spending time with Jason was next to impossible,
unless it was in Richmond. However, this was not a usual visit. He
was bringing his mother to meet her and her nerves were on edge.
Normally she would not care, but this was Miriam Davies, one of the
classiest vocalists there ever was. Her style was as legendary as
her voice. Jason was clear on his mother ’ s position in
his life. He not only loved her but he respected and valued her
judgment. A bad rating from her could end their relationship before
it really got started.
They had an
intimate relationship without being intimate, but that was her
doing. Jason was gracious enough to accept her position on his
situation and had not pressured her in any way. She knew sometimes
when he visited he left in need and she felt guilty about it.
However, the reality of it was, she did not truly know his
situation at home, only what he told her. The role of a fool was
not one she wanted to partake in again. Been there. Done that.
Don ’ t want to do it again.
“You
okay? ” Siri asked as she brought in her diamond earrings
Carl had given her as a wedding gift.
TK reached for
the box and dropped it. “ Yes, ” she replied as she picked it
up. “ Why do you ask? ”
“Oh, I
don ’ t know. Maybe the fact that you still have a big
roller in the top of your head might have something to do with
it. ”
TK turned back
to the mirror and snatched the roller out. A thick strand of hair
curled perfectly down the side of her face. The remainder was
brushed sophisticatedly into a ball of curls that hung leisurely
down her back stopping right at her shoulders. She stood and turned
to her sister. “ How do I
look? ”
“Stunning. ”
She looked in
the mirror again as she put the earrings on, and then smiled
brightly at Siri. A frown of fear creased her forehead. “ Tell me this is going to work out, Siri. ”
Siri took her
hand and smiled. “ It ’ s going to
be fine TK. She is going to love you as much as Jason
does. ”
“Do I really
look okay? ”
“Yes, ” Siri insisted.
“Oh, you
don ’ t know. You will say anything to make me feel
better. ” The doorbell chimed and TK just about jumped out
