Life After Marriage Book 3

Prom Night Threats

Amber POV-

"Mommy I want to go on prom." Sata came and sat next to me on the couch.

The entire family was over Chandra's house so we could see Chay off to prom.

Wasn't that crazy?

I remember when I first met them at their dance recital. And now we're preparing for prom and graduation.

Two Graduations actually. Kay's going to high school. And Chay will be graduating as the class valedictorian heading to Philly to UPenn just like Aug did on a full scholarship.

And guess what she's going to be? You guessed it. A dentist just like her uncle.

Wow. Everytime I think about how far time has flown, I want to cry. Maybe it's the pregnancy too. Just a tad bit. But the majority of it is nostalgia.

"Octavian what are we going to wear on prom?" Sata scooted next to him.

He was engrossed in eating his burger and chips, not paying her an ounce of attention. He was focused on his food. And I don't blame him.

Chile, Dan, Cha's husband, barbecued everything you could think of. And me and Sylvester 😜, ate most of it.

Now I was dog tired.

"I don't want to go to prom."
O said nonchalantly.

"But why? We get to dress up and look pretty." Sata tried to convince him.

"I just don't want to." He took another bite of his burger.

"Don't talk to me ever again." She ran outside with Aug.

I shook my head. She was just as dramatic as her damn daddy.

Girl the boy is 6, he ain't thinking about no prom.

Everybody was outside, except Chandra, Mama Shelia, Kay and Noonie. They were all upstairs helping Chay get ready before her date got here.

Me on the other hand I wanted to just sleep. But I was going to try and stay awake.

"Amb!!" Stacy called as she came inside.

"Come on outside get some fresh air. You too O."

She pulled me by my arm outside and in the huge backyard Cha and Dan had.

O followed us.

The men- Aug, Trav, Smoke (Aug's other brother) Dan and Sneak were drinking beers and laughing. Auggie was sitting on his daddy's leg and Sata was on the other.

"Don't sit by us." Sata licked her tongue out at O.

"Stop that." Aug told her. "O sit right here by Unc."

"I want to sit by Uncle Boobie." He sat by Travis.

"That's right sit right here nephew." Travis sat in the seat next to him.

"You remember that O." August warned him.

"August stop being sensitive." Stacy rolled her eyes.

"You stay in a woman's place."

"August I will...you better be glad it's children around. Come on Amb."

"Wait before y'all go. Y'all know what she talking about naming my son?

"What?" smoke asked. "Mel?"

"No. That's taken. Thank you very much." Travis said out loud.

"Sylvester."
