Official Girl 4 (23 page)

             
“Will you marry me?” they all asked simultaneously.

             
“YESSSSS!” we screamed.

             
I ran into Mykell’s arms and kissed him all over his face while the club erupted into oohs and ahhhs.

             
“You are so sweet.” I smiled as I kissed his face.

             
“I know,” he smiled.

             
We partied the rest of the night to celebrate our engagements. This was one of the best nights of my life. I never would have thought that Mykell would propose again even though were already married.

Two years later

              I never thought I would see the day when I would become somebody’s wife, but I’m one of the happiest women in the world. Lashaun has shown me what true love is and I am very grateful for him. We have the perfect little family with our son Lashaun Marlon Mitchell, Junior, but Lakey thinks he’s about to get a daughter now. we’ll see about that in five years. I grew up the only child and didn’t have a lot of family, but Neicey and her family welcomed me in with open arms.

             
I even had an opportunity to open up more boutiques here in Florida and the surrounding areas. I also decided to go back to school and get a degree in business management. Be on the lookout for me, Mrs. Mitchell.

             
These niggas be out here jumping from female to female all they damn lives but that shit gets old eventually. Find you a real down ass female that you know will ride with you till the wheels fall off, then will be willing to walk with you. When you find her, settle your ass down! You can call me a sucka all you want but I love my girl and I’ll be damned if I let someone else come and snatch her up because I refused to love her the way she wanted to be loved.

             
She and my son keep me sane around here and I been trying to get her to give me a daughter but she wanna act funny; talking about some damn five years. Yea, alright, we’ll see about that.

             
I did it! I am officially Mrs. Le’Lani Peake. Yes, Ramone and I have been through a lot, but everything we have been through only made us stronger. I went from being in a loving relationship, then got mad because of something that Ramone did and ended up making one of the biggest mistakes of my life. It’s crazy because when I first met Zamier, I never would have guessed that he liked to abuse women and had an alcohol problem.

             
They never lied when they said ‘the grass isn’t always greener on the other side’. Ladies, if you’re in an abusive relationship, GET OUT! That is not love, it’s actually the complete opposite. I’m just happy I made it out alive so I could spend the rest of my days with my soulmate and our kids.

             
You know I had to go ahead and make my Le’Lani my wife. It was only right that I did; she’s the only female that I know would put up with my bullshit and have no problems putting me in my place. She’s a keeper though, I fucked up and let another nigga squeeze his bitch ass in and try to take my spot but we all knew that wasn’t about to happen.

             
His ass put his hands on the wrong one. Nobody puts their hands on my lady and lives to tell it, never. Because of his bitch ass, I wasn’t able to eat solid food for a while. That shit fucked my greedy ass up. But on a more serious note, I’m happy me and my lady decided to get it together. I love that girl with all my heart.

             
Who would have ever though that Mack Daddy would ever get married? Sounds crazy huh? But I found the woman that compliments me in every way possible. We were meant for each other, I don’t care about what she did in her past. That shit happened before me and as long as she doesn’t make the same mistakes again, we’ll be cool.

             
I accept her for who she is, flaws and all. Nobody’s past is squeaky clean, so who am I to judge her? I’ve done some shit in my past that I’m not proud of but that’s all a part of life. You live and you learn.

             
That damn Micah done went and made me a housewife. It’s crazy because I surely thought I had lost him when Bishop popped up, but he stuck by my side through all that bullshit. It pained me to tell him about my past and the biggest mistake I have ever made but he never judged me.

             
From day one, he accepted me and my daughter and I knew he was a keeper when Ranee fell in love with him. That was just a plus, now the four of us have our perfect little family and we couldn’t be any better.

             
I became a dad at age 15 but I don’t regret it. Mikyah was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Chyanne and I decided to go ahead and get the test done to put us to ease and, of course, my baby girl was 99.9% mine. She’s so big and growing better than they thought she would. I remember the day she was born when I was in the hospital crying like a little bitch because she was so little. Now she’s running around the house causing terror because she hit her terrible twos.

             
Me and Chyanne decided that since we’re so young, we’ll just worry about raising our daughter and getting our lives on track, then worry about being in a relationship later. We’re still close and act like best friends, but we’re not officially together. As long as we have our baby girl, we’ll be in each other’s lives.

             
Life for me is going good. I recently enrolled in college and I’m still working at the boutique. Even though MJ and I are not together, we still have a really good relationship and we do the best we can to take care of our daughter.

             
I even started to work on my relationship with my mother. She came crying to me one day about how she was wrong and how much she missed me. We enrolled in counseling and have been doing okay since then.

             
I bet y’all didn’t think we were going to make it huh? Neicey and I have been through hell and back, literally; but we beat the odds in the end and proved everybody wrong. Some of y’all didn’t even think I would stay faithful once we got back together, but I proved all y’all wrong. It took me a lot of growing up to do it, but I did it and that’s all that matters. As long as I have her and my kids, my life is perfect! I couldn’t ask for more and I don’t even think I want more. This was one crazy ass rollercoaster ride, but we survived it. Like my homie Lyfe Jennings said, ‘When you got somebody good, you hold on to em.’

             
We really took y’all through it huh? Just imagine how I felt. There were plenty of times that I felt like throwing in the towel and giving up, but I’ve never been a quitter. I knew eventually his silly ass would open his eyes and realize how much I meant to him. It took him long enough, but my baby got it together. I just want to thank you for taking the time to sit and read our story. In the end, I proved to him and everybody else that I was made to be his Official Girl.

The End
