One Step Closer/ Twenty-Eight

                                   “Happy Birthday, Kylie!”

                                  Mrs. Wallace gave the little girl a kiss on the forehead, as she set the present to the side. The family sat in the backyard, as the party was underway…a few of Kylie’s friends had attended the party from the center, Mrs. Wallace- who lived in the neighborhood, and the parents of Kylie’s friends. The family had rented an inflatable booth with the colored balls inside, as well as a child safety trampoline, with cushioned edges and foam cushioning below. They also had a water sprinkler that the kids were running around in. Celia- Alonzo’s mother, sat back laughing, and chatting it up with the other parents.

                                “So where’s is Kylie’s father?” asked one lady.

                                “He went to go get the pizza,” answered Celia. “Oh, there he is now,”

                                Alonzo walked into the backyard, carrying six huge boxes of pizza, as Matteo- his father, carried three more. Some of the ladies’ mouths dropped open. “Is that, Kylie’s father?”

                               “Oh wow…he looks hot…I mean, carrying all that pizza,”

                               “He’s so…young,”

                               Celia lowered her head, concealing her giggles. Some of the women were in their mid to late twenties, with a few actually being in their early twenties…but still, Alonzo was basically younger than they were. They watched as he lifted Kylie into his arms. “You havin fun?”

                                “Yep!” she answered, as he laughed. He put her back down, as she ran to play with the other kids. Alonzo walked to Cerrina, who was overseeing the drinks. “All natural and sugar free?”

                              “Well, enough natural sugar to give them a little kick,” said Cerrina. “I see everyone is enjoyin themselves,”

                               Alonzo smiled. “Yep…especially the birthday girl, considering yesterday. Thanks, for letting me borrow your car to go to the hospital and check up on her mother,”

                               Cerrina smiled. “I might be out of my boundaries, when I say this, but you did nothing wrong, so don’t feel that you are obligated to care over Tracey. It’s okay to care, for the fact that she is Kylie’s mom, but that should be as far as it goes…don’t go gettin sentimental for her,”

                               Alonzo looked away for a second.

                               “I only say it because I love you, little bro, and I don’t wanna see you getting hurt again,” explained Cerrina. Alonzo looked to her, then gave a twisted smile. They looked to the gate as Cam stepped into the backyard, with a huge box…he was followed, by Meela, Austyn, and Criss. “Happy birthday, Kylie!”

                                “Cam!” she yelled out, running to him. He put down the box, scooping her up in his arms. She gave him a high five, as the others’ laughed. “How old are you Kylie?”
