right as rain mama right as rain."
Aaliyah couldn't help but giggle because, before she even asked her mom how she was doing, she already knew what the answer would be. Her mom was a devoted, old school, Christian woman. It's one of the very things Aaliyah admired about her mom. No matter what was going on she never seemed to let anything get her down. She always prayed in the middle of trouble, and rarely complained about anything. Aaliyah felt like her mom was the true epitome of what a Proverbs 31 woman is and, desired with all her heart to be like her.
"How's cam doing, he's not giving you and Jason too much trouble is he?" Lisa asked
"No, he's doing really good, although he did try to get out of going to school today but, once I reminded him of our little deal he quickly changed his mind," Aaliyah said; assuring her mother everything was ok.
"Good, if he begins to become too much don't you hesitate to send him back home but, as long as all is well."
"Aaron and I are debating on whether to get him that car he wants for his birthday, so yours and Jason's reports will definitely weigh in on our decision."
"What time is his basketball practice over?" I want to give him a call."
"Aaliyah?" "Aaliyah?" "Hello?" "AALIYAH? HELLO!"
"Oh yeah mom sure, sure, of course."
"Aaliyah Diane Pierce, did you hear anything I just said?"
"Sure mom, Cam, car, birthday, got it."
"For your info, little girl, I asked you what time is Cam's practice over?"
"Oh, sorry mom, yeah, he gets out at 6:30." "J is picking him up today." "I'm going to the campus library to study for my philosophy class,"
"mmm hmm, seems like philosophy isn't the only thing you're studying."
The truth was while Lisa was talking, the most gorgeous guy Aaliyah had ever seen had just walked by and smiled at her. He stood about six foot and obviously worked out regularly. This man, with arms like actor Dwayne Johnson, and chocolaty brown skin, the most mesmerizing green eyes, a beaming smile and, to top it all off, he had dimples as deep as the ocean. She couldn't have asked for a better looking man to pass her way if she could've created him herself. All Aaliyah could think at that moment was...
" Lord help me."
"Child, I'll talk to you later but, we're going to discuss this man that has your mind all in the sky."
"Ok mom bye"
Aaliyah hung up with her mother and came back to reality. She looked at the time and realized it was starting to get late and that maybe she should get to the library. It was almost time for Cameron to be out of practice so Jason got up and headed to the high school to wait.
"Hey J"
"Hey, how was practice?"
"Man, it was fine but, Xavier was late and coach made us do twenty-five extra suicides for warm up.”
"Ahh man, that sucks but, you know how it is play as a team, practice as a team."
"I'm thinkin' Chinese food tonight, what are you feelin’?" asked Jason
"Sounds good to me I just want to pass out really."
"I feel you, bro. Have you thought any more about what we talked about this morning?"
"What?"
"The talent show."
" Nope didn't intend to."
"I'm tellin you, you should do it, bro. Come on you know you'd love to have a hundred dollars in your pocket."
"Yeah but not at the cost of embarrassing myself; besides you know Blaine does the show every year and wins, I can't go up against him.
"Bro, you sound better than that weak dude any day."
"J, just let it go."
The guys finally make it to the Woo Chung buffet and fill up three plates to take home.
" Hey, Cam, text Lele and let her know we got dinner."
"Aiight"
After getting her reading done for her philosophy class, Aaliyah decided to go sit in one of the private booths on the second floor of the library to do research for her logistics paper she had due in a few days. Things had gone relatively well and she had gathered quite a bit of material and was getting kind of hungry. Since the boys had gotten Chinese and she noticed it was now a little after seven, she
