His Destiny
When they pulled up to his mom’s house, Destiny was the first one out. She was dead tired and just wanted to nap. <br /> “My babies! I’m so glad you all made it.†Caroline met them on the porch. <br /> “Hey, ma.†Adonis hugged her and then Destiny hugged her before she took the baby out of her hand. <br /> “Look at granny’s baby,†she cooed over AJ. <br /> “But I thought I was your baby, granny,†Serenity pouted. <br /> “You sure are my baby. Come give me some love, sugar.†Caroline loved her grandbabies. <br /> “Oh my goodness, he looks just like you, Des.†<br /> “I know right. All he has of his daddy is skin tone,†Destiny replied. <br /> “Well y’all come on in here.†<br /> They went inside. <br /> “Where is Tamara?†Adonis asked about his sister. <br /> “She’s at work but she’ll be here later,†Caroline replied as she kissed all over AJ’s face. <br /> “Oh ok.†He responded. <br /> “Adonis take y’all stuff to the guestroom and you know ReRe has her own room here now ‘cause I want to start getting her during the summers,†she said, referring to Serenity by the nickname she had given her. <br /> “Nah, I’m getting a hotel room. Des and the kids are staying here with y’all.†<br />Caroline looked at him like he had grown two heads. “And why the hell can’t you stay here with your family?†His mom still didn’t know that he had a new girlfriend. It was now or never. <br /> “My girlfriend coming up here to kick it with me,†he sort of mumbled. Even though he was a grown man, his mothers’ opinion mattered. <br /> “What the hell did you just say?†Caroline only cursed when she was pissed. <br /> “Look ma, not now okay.†He let out a frustrated sigh. He knew how much his family liked Destiny but they had to accept the fact that they weren’t together. <br /> “So you brought Destiny and my grandbabies up here knowing your girlfriend was coming too?†<br /> “Yeah, man. But it’s not even like that. I invited my girl before I knew Des was coming.†Adonis felt like a little kid who was being reprimanded by his mother. <br /> “Well, the minute you found out Des was coming, you should have canceled that other chick.†Caroline was so disgusted by her son that she got up and left the room. <br /> “Look, I didn’t know coming here would cause problems. I was just trying to make it better for AJ.†Destiny was apologetic. <br /> “Nah, Des, you good, ma. But I need to go take care of something. I’ll be back later.†He stood to leave. <br /> “Okay.†Destiny hated to see him leave because she knew he was going to meet up with Nikki. Yeah, she was actually jealous. <br />
