The Set Up Page 28

 Dinner at her fathers was awesome she'd invited Terrance's mother by surprise her cousins were intown and everybody got familiar. "Oh I love this home" said lady M  Mrs.Phillips was giving her a tour of their place she was so proud of her son "he finally met somebody with a good upbringing" . "Mr.Phillips sat and enjoyed the show he didn't have much to say he wanted to speak with Terrance alone once more before the wedding he figured he'd do it in front of his daughter, "so Terrance what all do you do up in the city with music stuff, and you said you don't have any little ones right" asked Mr.Phillips, grabbing his drink to swallow down what was in his mouth his eyebrows went up Terrance didn't know what Keisha's father was getting at or why he had chosen that moment to get to it "nothing really I actually plan on giving up my studio and it's ties there want to focus on being closer to the house" he paused for a sec then spoke again "I just want to do whatever make sense and whatever make this one happy" rubbing the shoulder next to his it was Keisha  she smiled softly while listening to them chat she wanted their parents to meet she wanted this to all be done and not done like over, she was ready to say I do for some reason she'd grew insecure and she didn't care she knew she wanted him. "So dad have you been up there to visit grandma lately" Keisha asked her father "Oh no girl you know your grandmother continues to blame me for your mother's passing I could never understand it either I loved Keisha's mother we just weren't happy as one" he said it as if he was clearing his name for everybody in the room "Dad come on not right now....look you are you mom was mom I love you  no matter what I asked because I haven't heard from grams" Terrance was confused but not Keisha, Keisha thought her dad knew what Renee did she thought he knew her man was a coke dealer.

 Keisha had told her father many times what Terrance did for a living with who how and where she didn't get the question she didn't get why everybody sugar coated shit ....for her "anyway dinner was great I have an interview in the morning new employees " said Mrs.M "and what is it that you do ?don't mind my asking" asked Mr.Phillips, "I'm a full time nurse at the county hospital I've been with them about 22 years "good deal" said Mrs.Phillips ......"Oh yeah my husband wouldn't allow me to quit when he passed it was like time to go full throttle I needed to get Terrance's attention out of the streets and into his father restaurant business. Mr.Phillips understood at that moment that it wasn't only Keisha who was blindsided by his side hustle but also Terrance's mother "Well he's a good kid  a good Man I mean he must be my daughter with him she seem to have a problem with love don't remember her bringing anybody home so Terrance welcome to the family you are more then welcome to that man cave I got out there I know she get's in her way" They all chuckled everybody was happy to meet and eat. When Keisha reached home she let Terrance know one more thing "you can have it" handing him a key "this the key to trunk it's yours" Terrance laughed out loud "what the fuck you mean keisha" "I mean you don't need that bitch to move shit she texted me about I mean you can take my car then it's mine" "What Renee tell you how'd she get your new number look stop playing ok you want me to murder her huh?" Terrance was confused Keisha just smiled and replied "that text is why I changed my number, you don't think nighas talk? you don't think they want me to leave you?". She finally spilled the beans on the text Renee had sent her that made her freeze up "I can't be mad at least I know and now I can help you" "Help me what little girl? stop playing game" responded Terrance. That was the thing though Keisha wasn't playing at all she now had the info on her man and though he lied about he's legitimacy she didn't mind she rathered the truth then she could protect her king.
