asshole.”
“I see it’s just like old times, already,” Zoe said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a big ole hug.
“Hey, Zoe. So nice to see you. It’s been way too long.”
“I agree, Tray.” She stepped away from me and started over to my wife. “Abigail! So good to see you. Oh my goodness ya’ll are getting so big!”
“Nice looking family you got there, Tray. You did good, brother.”
“Thanks. Looks like you did too. You got one graduating and how old is Malcolm now?”
“He just turned thirteen. He’s hanging around here somewhere. I’ll make sure you see him before ya’ll leave.”
“You better. I don’t wanna miss seeing him.”
The screen door slammed shut and as I looked up I saw her. My angel from all those years ago. She looked a little older now, we all did, but she was still just as beautiful as I remembered. Her blonde hair was cut a little shorter. It set at about her shoulders now. She was wearing a white dress that came right above her knees. Her legs were just as hot as I remembered. Her eyes met mine and I saw them light up. She smiled a little smile and I smirked back at her.
What the hell just happened?
I was not seeing what I thought I saw…I was apparently losing my mind.
Why was he touching her like that?
His hand was resting on her hip and she turned to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“Stop looking at her like that. She’s still my stepmom ya know?”
“What the hell is she doing with that asshole?”
“Gabe? He’s not an asshole. They’ve been married for about fifteen years now, Tray. He’s been really good for her and the farm.”
“Are you fucking with me?”
“Why would I?”
“He was so mean to her when I was here. He treated her like shit.” I was getting pissed off just thinking about it.
“You know what they say. We are meanest to those we care about the most. Apparently, he had a crush on her all that time, but didn’t want to do anything to disrespect my dad. After a couple of years, he told her how he really felt and started working with her instead of against her. They’ve been inseparable ever since. They’ve been nothing but happy, that I know of.”
I was glad to hear that everything worked out for them, but I was still a little shocked by it. Gabe was staring at me from the porch, before he took her hand in his and helped her down the steps.
“Well if it isn’t Jason’s friend?” Gabe asked with a laugh.
“Tray. I have a name, remember?”
“Oh I know. But it’s more fun to piss you off by pretending I don’t know.”
Mrs. Mason hit Gabe on the shoulder. “Be nice, honey.”
Her voice still sounded smooth like honey.
“Nice to see you, Tray.” She gave me a quick hug and then stepped back into Gabe’s arms. “It’s been a long time.”
“Yes it has, Mrs. Mason.”
She smiled that same smile that I remembered from all those years ago. Her eyes were sparkling in the sun and I knew by the look in them she was remembering our time together too. She laughed. “Still with the Mrs. Mason, huh?”
“Well I know how you feel about being called ma’am.”
About the Author
I grew up in a really small town in Missouri. Very similar to the fictional towns I write about. I moved to the big city right after I graduated. I work full-time and I am mom to a beautiful little girl.
I started writing in October 2012 when a group I am a member of had a prologue contest. I didn't win the contest, but everyone who read my prologue asked for more of my story. I decided I had to finish it and get these characters that were in my head out on paper. During the writing process it became clear that these characters had a lot to say. So I realized my story was really a series:

Destined to Change (Available Now)
Real Men Wear Pink (Destined to Change Short Story - Available Now)
Destined to Succeed (Available Now)
