I couldn't even believe who walked into the store a few days ago. Johlan Pierce. The first man I ever fell in love with. JoJo was my person once upon a time. JoJo and I got close when I was finding myself in the world. He would come over to my apartment and just sit there with me. Told me that after coming out the streets all day that where ever I was was his peace. We never spoke on our feelings about each other. We just kinda was there for each other. When he ghosted me that shit broke my heart. I mean the shit hurt bad and then my parents died in a car crash two weeks later. I didn't know what to do with myself and in came Kobra. As much as I hate to admit it but Kobra was there in my darkest time. I got pregnant and we got married. When I found out I was having twins I damn near died but Kobra was there everyday. Every appointment he made me feel safe.
Kobra was somebody I met in high school he played football and went pro. It was like after his last concussion shit went left. He started treating me like an option wasn't there for his kids and started cheating. One thing about me if you cheat I'm gone. I didn't catch on to his shit till a girl came to me woman to woman at my job that's was three years ago. I tried to move past it but I couldn't. So I took my boys and left. Kobra had so much potential to be a great man and at one point he was a great father. Sometimes I wish I could go back to what we were. What we had but I couldn't live in the past.
Working at the store was never in the books for me. I wanted to go to college and find myself but after my parents died I had to take over the store so I took up businesses classes and has two locations in the city. For the last three years I had been trying to figure out how to be on my own. It's always been somebody to guide me along from my parents to Kobra now guiding myself on top of being a mom to two boys was hard. Some days I felt like I couldn't make it. But somehow I was here chugging along."
"Momma how do you know Money man Pierce?" Ryker asked.
"How do you know that name?" I asked and he put down a magazine from there school that highlighted JoJo's career. The good parts anyways.
" He use to come by the store all the time.Why?" I asked.
"He was at your store. He called you Kee only people who really know you call you that." Kario said.
"Twins calm down and ask for what you want?" I said. It six in the morning and they were going to school. It was too early for the third degree.
"Momma you gotta call him up. We gotta get lessons from him." They said together.
"Oh come on shinning twins." I called them. When they were little they use to talk at the same time so much they started sounding like the twins from the shinning. It use to creep me out. Shit it still does. "I do not wanna be around him you couldn't pick somebody else?"
"No him he's a legend around here." Ryker said.
"Yeah I know. Go to school learn something and be decent people today. Not the little psychopaths you are trying to be." I said.
"Momma." They laughed.
"Love you twins."
"Love you too mama." They said and ran into school.
