Chapter 27

Calvin

The house is in upheaval. My Uncle Douglas wasn’t kidding when he said he’d take care of us. A salon bus appeared last night, and that was the last I saw of my soon to be fiancée. They even took Tracie and gave her a new do’ and mani-pedi for the occasion.

I got a fresh clip, making my ponytail far less ratty. My goatee is now perfectly edged as they waxed my face! That shit hurt! But I do have to say it looks better, and my cheeks are smoother than my ass! I may have to keep up with the waxing if these are typical results.

It’s an hour till we have to arrive when I hear the front door open.

“Cal?” It’s my uncle.

I come out, surprised to see him. “What are you doing?” He cuts me silent showing me the ring. Tracie gasps her hand to her heart. “You alright?” The box claps close as it’s put it to my hand.

“You must be Tracie McLane. Kaycee’s mother.” He smiles his debonair smile and takes her hand gently. “I see where she gets her beauty from.”

“T-thank you.” Tracie blushes.

“Oh, bother.” I snicker. “Really?”

“Shush boy. Go get done; you have pictures in twenty.”

“Pictures?”

“Of course, I hired a photographer. They scouted out a beautiful spot up the way, a covered bridge, with climbing ivy and honeysuckle in bloom.”

“Uh-huh.” I shake my head and go to finish up. Heading outside, I wait, with the rest of her bouquet of roses. Yup, I had those freshmen for hire, and they did a wonderful job. She comes out, and I lose my breath. The dress looks phenomenal on her, and her hair is curly! Half swept up, off her face, as a sapphire tiara crowns her head. The earrings sparkle, and her makeup is low key, pretty, except for her lips; they are ruby red and sparkling.

Her eyes light up, seeing me, and that bottom lip disappears into her mouth. It seems like me; she likes what she sees. I go to her with the flowers, and she kisses my cheek.

“You look so handsome.”

“Thank you, gorgeous.”

We get into the limo and start our ride toward the covered bridge. It’s a really nice spot, and I’m surprised more people don’t use it for pictures.

Getting out first, I help Kaycee. She’s got a little clutch bag with her. It’s weird because she doesn’t usually carry a purse.

“I have a gift for you.” She sparkles.

“Yeah, okay.” I can’t stop smiling like a fool. I have the ring. I plan to pop the question before we go into the prom.

We pose a few times, and the photographer talks us through how to move, we take a short break for him to change his lens, and that’s when she lays her gift on me.

Opening her clutch, she pulls out a little envelope. “Here.”

I crook a curious brow. Opening it, I’m faced with the first picture of our baby, and it brings me to my knees.

“Oh, my God! Are you alright?” Carlos, the photographer, asks concerned.
