Oh yeah, Josh wanted me to say hello from him. He also said that he plays better ball when his favorite cheerleader is on the bleachers cheering him on. So he said you better get your “hot ass” better because he needs you. He also said something about you owing him a beer. He said the final score was 11-0, and that you would know what that means. I’ll kick his ass if you need me too.
Looks like I’m not the only one who misses you. I hope you will write me back soon. I’d really like to hear from you even if you just want to sign your name to a blank sheet of paper. I will take whatever I can get.
Gotta go baby, but I will write again tomorrow.
Love,
Moon
P.S. Are you still wearing the necklace I gave you?
At five thirty, Momma and I were waiting in the lobby of Dad’s firm. Dad had been with this firm for nearly twelve years and had been partner for close to eight. Yet today, we feel like outsiders who have no business stepping foot inside the building, like we don’t belong here. The bouncy little blonde with her tits on display made us sit in the main lobby like commoners. I guess we are now, but her snotty little attitude didn’t help matters. Momma knew that I was aggravated. She patted my knee and told me to sit still and that we wouldn’t be there long. “We don’t owe them the time of day. We will show them respect because we are the bigger people in this situation. Once this is all said and done they can kiss our asses, and I mean that in the nicest way possible.” She smiled at me and I was biting back a laugh. She is the coolest Momma ever.
Dad’s partner, Mr. Barrett, came out into the lobby and requested that we walk with him to the board room across the hall. The long black table separated us from the men in suits. There were four of them and they were wearing shoes that were more expensive than the car I drive. The old bald guy on the end was staring at my Momma and I swear I would’ve busted his skull if she would have let me. It was his lucky day, fat bastard. I wanted to pound my fists on the table and tell them to get this show on the road.
“Could we please get started because I don’t have all day?” Yeah! Go momma! She wasn’t in the mood to be fucked with either. I love it when she takes charge. People expect such a sweet kind lady, which don’t get me wrong she is. It’s just sometimes she gets pissed off and well, it ain’t pretty.
The tall man spoke first after clearing his damn throat five times. “Mrs. Morgan we are here today to discuss your husband’s will.”
“I know why we are here, Misteeeeeer?”
“Mr. Galvin. I’m the one that you spoke to on the phone.” He answered.
“Oh yes, Mr. Galvin. I remember speaking with you, and I know why we are here. What I don’t know is why there are four of you present. I don’t take kindly to people in my business and I don’t believe it’s necessary for every person my husband worked with to be present at this meeting. What you all discuss after we leave is up to you, but what we discuss in this room while I am here is up to me.” She cocked her head to the side and stared right at them. If you could have seen the looks on their faces, it was priceless.
“I understand where you are coming from Mrs. Morgan, but there has to be an attorney present for the reading of this will.”
“Right an attorney, as in one. So I would appreciate if one of you stays and the rest of you leave.” Oh hell yeah. She put em all in their place while I sat back and laughed. I imagine dad would have been rolling over in his grave had he heard what momma said. She was a firecracker today and I couldn’t have been more proud of her.
Once the guys left out of the office the meeting finally got started. Mr. Barrett was the only attorney who stayed and he had a look of rage the entire time we were there. Seeing his men getting up and walking out must have really struck a nerve with him. He never spoke another word the whole meeting.
“So if you will look at the figures on the bottom of this page and this one, you will see the amount of money that he had accrued. This first page is what he left behind for you Mrs. Morgan along with the life insurance policy, and on this page is the amount that is left to Ryker. However, it says here that it must remain untouched until your twenty first birthday. For now it will remain in an account with you Mrs. Morgan as the sole benefactor. Once Ryker has turned twenty one, he will have full access to this money.” Holy Shit! Momma placed her hand across her heart and took a deep breath. I had no idea he had this kind of money. For him to leave me anything was farfetched, but this was enough for me to go to college start a life for myself and not have to work for a very, very long time. I have never seen this amount of money in all of my life.
