After the shower she gets dressed, does her hair, and wakes Quentin up to get him dressed and ready to go. Around ten thirty, there was a knock at the door.
“Who is it?!” October screams from her bedroom door on her way out of the room towards the door. Of course she remembered that Sanayah was coming over, but she was a little early so she wanted to make sure.
“It’s me, San!” Sanayah answered.
October unlocks and opens the door.
“Hey girl, you got here fast.”
“I know. I just had to get away. I hit IH-10 by seven thirty this morning. The traffic was fairly clear so I made it here within three hours, instead of my normal four. If you guys are not ready, I can just sit here until you are. Or I can help you with lil’ man.”
“Actually, all I have to do is put on Que’s shoes and socks and get his bag ready and we are done.”
October paused and studied Sanayah’s face which was just as beautiful as ever, yet also looked a little worried.
“Are you okay? You sounded like you had been crying over the phone and you don’t look too happy.”
“I am fine. Well, not really but I will be. We will talk about all of that later. And I am happy, happy to be here and see you and my nephew. Hand him here and I can hold him while you put those on.”
“Okay, all done.”
“Ready?”
“Yep,” October answers as she grabs Que and his diaper bag and they all head out the door.
“Let me grab his car seat out of my car.”
“Okay, hand me his bag. I will put it in the back.
Sanayah decided to bring October and Quentin to the mall in Lake Charles, Louisiana instead since it was only an hour away. She had not informed anyone besides October of her visit and she did not want to risk the chance of anyone seeing her. A bit of shopping and mostly browsing is what the trio did when they got to the mall. Before returning back to Texas they stopped and sat down for some lunch. Sanayah finally explained to October her reason for the visit.
Both ladies sat in tears after Sanayah’s confession and explanation for her visit. Sanayah felt so lost and worried. It helped her tremendously to be able to talk to someone and let someone into her world so that she would not have to hold everything in by herself. But, on the other hand, having spoken the words out loud to someone made her realize just how real the situation was. It opened her eyes to reality which made way for her tears to flow through like a stream. October knew exactly what Sanayah was going through and could not do anything at the moment except hold her friend and try her best to reassure her that everything would work its way out just fine. Because she could not stand to see her friend crying without feeling the same pain and emotion as she was feeling, October’s tears started to run as well.
Once they made it back to October’s apartment, October shared with Sanayah a few more words of encouragement and reassurance. Sanayah asked her not to speak a word of it to anyone. She wanted to wait a little longer before telling her family anything, including Kale. October promised to keep her word. They shared another long hug and just like that, Sanayah was back on the road and back to her reality.
Chapter 9
Kale and Troy arrived at the “Black Cat” around 11:30 that night and headed straight to the bar. They ordered a few shots of Patron and chugged them quick then headed for the dance floor. Since they threw back the shots so fast, they started to kick in as soon as they touched the dance floor. They danced for like an hour straight before going back to the bar for a few more drinks. It felt so good to release all of their extra energy and have that much fun. Troy felt as if he was floating on cloud nine; he had a natural
