A Parent To Teens At 21!?

Chapter One

I was taking a break, having a drink, after my shift at The Juke Joint ended when I was approached by the new bouncer.

"Mind if I sit down?" "Go ahead, DeMarcus right?"

"Yes it is Dedra."

"I had to ask around and find out the name of the best bartender in the city"

"I don't know about all that but I can see right through bullshit so don't blow smoke up my ass with all the flattery." We ended up talking for a couple of hours before I realized the time and regrettably had to end the best conversation I've had in months to head home.

DeMarcus and I continued with the easy banter as we waited on a cab outside the bar.

When we realized we were headed to the same side of town we decided to share a cab.

During the cab ride we realized that not only did we work together we lived in the same building.

DeMarcus couldn't wait to introduce his daughter to my sister.

TaMiko was shy didn't have a lot of friends and a little self conscience because of her size.

With the change in my siblings attitudes lately I only hope they make TaMiko feel welcomed, who knows things with DeMarcus seems interesting enough to pursue if things go well with the kids.
