Chapter 11

Although Tamia visited Xavier in Dallas every chance she got, she still felt like a giddy little girl when she finally spotted him amid the sea of travelers arriving at Hartsfield–Jackson.

She used to say her two favorite people on the planet were her sisters. But both had been unceremoniously bumped down to second and third position since she'd been reunited with her nephew. Xavier was her best friend and, occasionally, her partner-in-crime.

"I can't believe you're here!" Tamia said, her arm hooked in his, as they made their way to her MINI Coupe.

"I know, right!” Xavier was smiling even harder than she was. "And now you can finally give me all the details on this Omar and Kristina situation.”

Tamia opened her car trunk and Xavier dumped his duffle bag inside. She went to toss his carry-on, as well, when he stopped her.

"Not that. I'm keeping it with me. There’s something in there for y’all."

Tamia unlocked the doors.

"What is it?"

Xavier got in and reached for his seatbelt, shrugging. "I have no idea.”

"How you gonna tell someone you brought them something and then say you don't know what it is?"

Xavier grinned. "I'll explain later. First, tell me what's up with these wayward bio parents of mine."

Once they were out of the parking garage, Tamia launched into the story thus far.

"Okay, so first of all, there's definitely some sparks there. I saw them myself. But don't mention none of this in front of Pam. She’s been in a mood ever since she found out.”

"Because they might get together? Why would that put her in a bad mood?"

"I guess she's worried if it doesn't work out, Kristina will relapse."

"Oh."

"But I don't think she would. She’s so different now. You'll see. Even better than when you saw her in New York. She’s more stable than I can ever remember her being.”

"Man, you don't know how good it feels to hear that. I just want her to be okay.”

"Me and you, both."

"So…"

Tamia stole a glance at her nephew. "So, what?"

"Are you dating anyone?"

"And how in the world did we get on this subject?"

Xavier chuckled. "I don't know why you're acting so surprised. I ask you every single time I see you. And every single time I ask, you find a new way not to answer."

"And see, one would think you’d get the hint and stop asking."

"The sooner you answer, the sooner I will."

Tamia groaned. ”Okay. Fine. But first, tell me this: why do you want to know so bad?”

“There might be someone who's interested."

Although he thought he was being coy, Tamia already knew who Xavier was talking about. And while the man in question was a great guy, Tamia decided long ago that relationships weren’t for her. Why invest your heart and soul in something that won’t last?

She loved her nephew and the way he lived life with a heart full of hope, but their childhoods had been as different as night and day. While he grew up always believing for the best, she grew up always finding the worst.
