A couple of days later I was over Mom's and answered the phone when it rang.
☎️ Hello?
☎️ Hi, this is Sandy Dalton.
☎️ This is Reyah.
☎️ Just the person I wanted to talk to. I want to apologize for the other day at the party and finding out about Micah.
☎️ That's, not your fault Mrs. Dalton.
☎️ I know it's not but I feel terrible about it and I wanted to give you a gift card to the spa. It's the least I can do.
☎️ I appreciate it Mrs. Dalton but you don't have to do that. I promise I don't have any ill will toward you.
☎️ I appreciate that and I want to do this please let me.
☎️ Well if you insist you can drop it off to Madden at Pet Haven Animal Shelter.
☎️ I'm going that way today so I will do that. Thanks again for the superb catering! I have told all of my friends.
☎️ You are welcome! Thank you for your business.
I hang up the phone and pick up my cell to text Madden and tell him about the gift card. It's nice but I'm not sure I will use it. It feels like if I do that I'm am ok with what Micah did.
When mom walked into the kitchen I explained it to her.
"Well, Reyah it's nice of her to do that but I understand how you are feeling. You can always give it to someone."
"Yeah, I guess so. It's just weird mom and I don't know how I feel about it."
"She seemed like a nice lady."
"She does and she lost her husband three years ago so she understands how you are feeling I'm sure."
"It's a feeling I don't wish on anyone."
"Oh, mom!" I walk over and wrap my arms around her.
"I miss your dad so much. I still find myself looking for him and thinking about him and then Jerrick will fall down the steps and I laugh and I think well Russ must have tripped him." She laughed.
"That boy sure has helped us and he is nothing like Madden."
"Yeah as different as night and day those two." She laughed.
"Let's have a slice of coconut cake. I made it last night."
"Now you are speaking my language because it's one of my favorites."
"Oh, Reyah everything I make is one of your favorites."
"I know I can't help it."
"Oh goodness, I asked Jerrick to help me make gingerbread cookies last night, and look what he did to these!"
I about choked on my spit when I saw what he had done. He had drawn a penis on the gingerbread man with icing coming out of his penis and put boobs on the gingerbread girl and put the icing on them as Mr gingerbread came on Mrs gingerbread.
I laughed so hard I about fell out of the chair. "Oh my god! You cant give them to anyone."
"I know this that's ding a ling." Mom laughed.
"I have to have a picture of that mom. Madden will die." I laugh.
"Take them to him to eat." She giggled.
"That will be a priceless picture when he sees them. I'll let you know how it goes." I laugh.
We sit down and eat some cake when Jerrick came in.
"Hey, Reyah! I didn't know you were here. I have been at the shelter."
"Oh have ya? Yeah, I came over here for a while to have some cake."
"I want some cake." He said.
"I will cut you a slice Jerrick just take a seat."
A little later I headed home with Madden's gingerbread man and woman and I can't wait to get his expression.
He walked in and I was in the kitchen. "Hey, babe!"
"Hey there! What's going on?"
"I just got home from Moms. She sent you something."
"She did?"
"Yeah open it up Madden."
He walked over and opened up the tin foil and I giggled holding my phone up.
"What the fuck? Who made this? I know your mom did not." He laughed.
"She asked Jerrick to help her ice them and this is what he did." I laughed.
"Oh, man sometimes he's a dope. What did she say?"
"She laughed about it actually. She couldn't believe that he did that but glad she stopped him before he did more that way."
"I told her I would let her know of your reaction." I laughed.
He pulled a gift card out of pocket. "This is for you and you are supposed to know about it."
"Yeah, Micah's mom Sandy called and wanted to give me a gift card to a spa to make up for what he did. I told her I didn't want it but she insisted."
"Oh."
"Madden I can't use that because then it's like I'm ok with what he did. I will just give it to mom and she can do what she wants with it."
"That's probably a better idea." He said pulling me into his arms and kissing my lips.
"I missed you today while I was eating coconut cake."
"What you had coconut cake without me?"
"I did but I brought you some home. Want me to heat up your mom's leftovers?"
"Yeah sounds good. I'm going to go take a shower and I'll be back down. Where are the boys?"
"They were upstairs romping the last I saw them."
He laughed running upstairs.
I got the food out and heat it up and then brought the coconut cake over to the table.
By the time I got everything set out he came down the steps with both kittens in his arms.
"Look what I found."
"A couple of cute dust bunnies." I laugh.
"They tried to get in the shower with me."
"Did they really?"
"Yeah, I had to shut the door all the way to keep them out." He laughed.
"This looks delicious and we didn't even have to cook." I laughed.
"Anytime that we don't have to cook is great Reyah." He smiled.
