Chapter 31

Sheba would have been happy to see Delilah outside her door if she and Uriah weren’t having problems. Delilah was the source of their problems, so she opened the door but didn’t invite her in.

Delilah said, “I want to see if I can make things right with my brother-in-law. We are family.”

“I don’t think this is a good time. Maybe later.” Sheba stood with her hands on her hips.

“Sheba, you look a little flushed. He hasn’t hit you, has he?” Delilah eyed Sheba curiously.

Sheba shook her head. “No, of course not. Uriah would never raise his hand at me.”

“My legs are a little tired, so if you don’t mind, I’ll come in and sit down.” Delilah walked closer to the door.

Sheba sighed. “Come on. Since you insist. Uriah’s in the den. Might as well get this over with.”

Delilah looped her arm through Sheba’s arm. “Let me throw on my Baker girl charm. Uriah will come around in no time.”

Sheba wasn’t too sure about it. She plastered on a fake smile and led Delilah into the den. “Dear, look who’s here.”

Uriah looked up and then looked back down at the television without saying a word.

Not good, Sheba thought.

“Yuaruh, I’m glad you’re home,” Delilah said.

“It’s Uriah,” Sheba said, correcting her.

“I need to go to the restroom. I’ll be right back,” Delilah said.

Uriah still didn’t say anything. He turned the volume up on the television. Sheba had to do something. She walked over to where Uriah sat and took the remote from him. She clicked the off button.

“I was watching that,” he said.

“I’ve never known you to be rude before. So what’s the deal?”

“I’ve heard about the problems she caused at that church, and I told you I don’t want that woman in my house.”

“That woman is my sister. Like I told you before, it’s something you will have to deal with. She’s family.”

“Her being your family is still questionable. I don’t have to deal with her. Now, hand me back the remote.”

“Uriah, come on. She looks just like my mom. That’s all the proof I need right there,” Sheba responded.

“I don’t trust her, and I don’t have to like her.”

Sheba sat down next to Uriah and started rubbing his leg. “She’s not as bad as you think. Sure, she can be a little obnoxious, but beneath all of that, she’s really a nice person.”

Uriah looked in her eyes. She batted her eyelashes and pouted. “Okay, I’ll try, but I can’t make you any promises.”

Sheba grabbed his head and planted kisses on his cheeks. “Thank you. That’s why I love you so much.”

Uriah laughed. “Don’t get carried away just yet.”

“So is it safe to enter?” Delilah asked.

Sheba responded, “Have a seat. I want my two favorite people to get to know each other better. While you two are doing that, I’ll go put dinner on.”

Sheba thought it was best to let them talk things out among themselves. Hopefully, by the time dinner was ready, they would have come to terms with their differences, and they could be one big happy family.
