“ So where we going Dad?” Chris asks as Mike makes a left at the stop sign to town.
“ Well son were going to get your brother’s party started, but first I want to know what he want’s first.” Mike says as I look to see Heath’s eyes go wide.
Heath turns to look at me as I smile giving him a nod. Heath lowers his head as I see a few tears. I know he wants his family here, but right now he has us. Heath looks up and with tears speaks in a cracked voice.
“ You all coming today and showing concern and love showed me I was not going to be alone. As to your question I just want to spend today with family and that means you all.” Heath says as Mike smiles nodding.
I notice my son Chris turn with a look of confusion.
“ Bro is that all you want as dad could get you that new Diablo 3 game.” Chris states getting laughs from all of us.
“ True, but right now I just want to be with my extended family.” Heath says as Chris smiles along with me.
“ Like the sound of that, hey where is the others at? I don’t see them behind us.” Chris asks getting a giggle from his mother.
“ Honey they are going to get stuff for the party. We are going to distract the birthday boy for a bit. So turn around and enjoy this moment and day.” I tell him getting a smile as my other son turns.
Mike drives to a few stores that Heath and Chris usually go to. We spent about a hour and a half out. Verna sent me a text saying they had the cake and a few gifts. Kiko sent me a text also saying they had everything ready at our house. I told Mike and he nods as we get back in the car with a few bags.
The ride home is one of laughs as Chris tells some jokes on the way. Once home we get out to see everyone there around 4 p.m. I take Heath’s hand as Mike and Chris grab the bags of clothes and gear that Heath wanted. I have Heath close his eyes as I lead him to the front door. As we get closer the door opens as I see Tiffany with Selena smiling. They are in bikini tops and shorts. Which gives me a idea of what to wear for my husband. Once we get in I look to see the living room is fixed up for a 16 year old party. I smile knowing my best friends made this happen. They all gather as I stop Heath between the t.v. and coffee table. Everyone gathers with smiles as I watch Mike shuts the front door dropping the bags as my son does the same getting over with our family. Once they all get together I smile as I turn to the birthday boy.
“ Ok Heath hun open those beautiful eyes.” I say seeing him open them.
“ HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATH!” Everyone yells as Heath goes wide eyed with tears.
“ Oh Wow this is what you all been doing?” He asks as Tiffany comes walking over.
“ Yes it is honey come on I got you something I want you to have right now.” My god daughter says leading my god son to the couch.
They sit as everyone finds a place to get comfy. Mike takes a seat in his chair as I get in his lap. We watch as Tiffany hands him a small jewelry box which makes me curious then a card. He gives her a odd look as she smiles on his right. I watch as my god son opens the small box with wide eyes. He pulls out a chain with a small key on it.
“ Um Tiffany what is this for as I don’t think it’s to your house?” He asks as we all laugh.
“ No honey it won’t, but it will open a door to my heart.” Tiffany says taking his right hand.
“ What do you mean to your heart?” He asks again when that moment it hits me.
As she tries to find her words. I think to my earlier thought while smiling. The little smarty pants she is in love with Heath. I look over at Verna to see a smile on her face. She sees my eyes and nods as Tiffany gets up, but gets on one knee as if to propose.
“ Heath these past years that we have gotten to know each other. I have grown to liking you in a way that I hope can be more. I know we are young and all, but my feelings for you have well grown. Maybe the card can explain how I feel.” Tiffany says as Heath gives her a confused look
“ Go ahead honey open the card.” Verna says as Heath turns to look at his other mother.
We watch as he does open the card he pulled from the envelope that was within. He opened the card and started reading it. As we watched from our places Heath placed the necklace in the card then placed the card on the coffee table. He sat there for a moment looking at Tiffany as she seemed to be waiting on something. The next thing shocked us as he stood making his way to and out the back double doors. I turned to look at Tiffany as she had tears starting down her face. She looked at us all while getting up going to her mother.
“ He hated it momma, he hated it. He doesn’t love me as I thought.” Tiffany says as Verna holds her tight comforting her daughter.
“ Shh I am sure he just needs a moment to think Tiff.” Verna says as I get up.
“ Tiffany what did the card say if I may ask?” I ask as she turns to look at me.
“ I…I asked him to go out with me. I want to be his girlfriend momma Ellie.” She tells me as my heart goes out for her
“ Well honey maybe he does need to think. Let me go talk to him ok just calm down.” I tell her making my way to the back doors
“ Ellie is it ok if I come to?” Kiko asks me as I see something in her eye.
“ Sure hun between the two of us maybe we can find out what is wrong.” I answer as Kiko comes over to me taking my right hand in her left.
We step out into the back yard looking around. I see Heath over in the gazebo Mike had built for me.
“ Ellie may I ask you something?” Kiko asks me as I nod before she continues “ When are we going to have some time alone?”
I stop for a second which makes her stop to look at me with her beautiful loving eyes..
“ Aww is my china doll getting horny for her lover?” I answer asking her with a giggle
“ Yes and no it’s more of Verna and I wanting to love you so very good. You taking charge earlier made me wet and falling for you all over again.” My china doll tells me as I giggle.
“ Tell you what after we give Heath a great birthday. You, Verna, and I will spend some time tonight giving each other some love.” I tell her getting a squeeze to my hand.
“ I hope so as my panties are wet right now.” Kiko tells me as we giggle.
“ Mine to baby seeing you and Verna in your bikini tops is turning me on.” I tell her getting a purr from her.
Years ago Verna, Kiko, Maggie and I found out we were developing feelings for each other. So one day while the kids were off in private school we got together as mothers do to talk and gossip. Things became heated as the next minute I knew Kiko was on me as Verna was on Maggie. That day was filled with us four making bi love to each other. We even did a daisy chain. Maggie stopped when she met her boyfriend which is a asshole in my book, but Verna, Kiko, and I keep it up with one another. Our husbands don’t mind as they know we are not cheating on them. We even get with them every so often in front of each other. We don’t swap for what’s the point when we love our husbands with all our hearts. As we make our way to the gazebo I think of how my life as become one of love for family and love for my two beautiful lovers. With Mike being the love of my life. I get taken out of my thoughts as Kiko and I finally make our way to the gazebo to find Heath leaning forward with his elbows on his knees. His face was in his hands as we heard him sob. I let go of Kiko’s hand to move to his right side as she took a seat on his left.
