Chapter Thirteen

“Ain’t a woman alive that can take my mama’s place”

Tupac “Dear Mama”

Red

I woke up Christmas morning and reached for the ashtray on my nightstand where I had half a blunt left from the night before. To my surprise, I almost knocked over a square Tiffany blue box. I smiled, knowing it had to be from my one and only son. He was the only person that had keys to my house.

I grabbed it and opened it. A heart shaped ruby was hanging on a delicate chain. I lifted it up with a smile. It was beautiful.

I had been prepared to spend Christmas Day alone, a first for me. Prince had invited me over to him and that girl’s house for dinner so that I could meet her family but I had no interest in being around her bougie ass or meeting her stuck up family. I did not approve of their relationship and since there wasn’t a fake bone in my body, I wasn’t about to pretend like I did. I planned on getting fucked up all day to fill the void of spending my first Christmas away from Prince. I hadn’t done that since he’d been born.

I stroked the ruby then placed it back in the box gently. I reached for my blunt again, but stopped once I saw the card on my nightstand. It must have been under my necklace. I opened it. A beautiful Christmas tree was on the front with the words All that’s missing is you. I shook my head and opened it. Ten crisp one hundred dollar bills spilled on my lap. Another smile spread across my face. Prince always knew how to spoil me better than any man I had ever been with, and that included his father. He went the extra mile to show me how much he appreciated the fact that I had raised him like he was my own flesh and blood. To me he was. There wasn’t a woman out there that could love a child more than I loved Prince.

I put the money in my nightstand drawer, then read the inside of the card.

Red,

I know you don’t like me being with Sierra. I know I been wrong to

Avoid you since you’ve heard about me proposing to her. I

Get it. You don’t want me with her. But Red, I love her. She

Makes me happy. And I miss you. No one can ever take your

Place. I want you to come to my house and spend Christmas

With us. We’ve never spent a Christmas apart and I

Don’t want to start now. It would mean so much to me if you

Could put aside your differences with Sierra, whatever they may

Be and come spend this holiday with us. Please.

I love you,

Prince

To my surprise, a tear spilled down my face. I can’t tell you the last time I cried. I didn’t even cry when Prince’s father died, but this shit right here… Yeah, this had me all in my feelings.

I missed my son. It wasn’t the fact that he had a girlfriend that made me angry or upset.
