My Beautiful Granddaughter Rhea had become a beautiful teenager she was so quiet and well behaved I almost forgot she was living with us. She was learning to fish and had a lot family days out with her mum, Dad and brother Cairo. They went to the cinema often as Rhea loved horror movies. I always stayed home horror movies freak me out a lot!!!!
Rhea had met a guy he was bit older than her and had no interest in starting a relationship He was a self confessed Loner and a gloomy one at that. But that wasn't enough to put Rhea off. She was persistent and they eventually became best friends.
No matter what she tried Tyson only saw her as a friend. She waited it out and on her birthday she made her move.
It started with a kiss and quickly progressed. Rhea discovered not only was he a gloomy loner he was also afraid of commitment. As soon as their relationship changed it became too much for him and he disappeared. Rhea discovered her pregnancy soon after and resigned herself to life as a single mum.
I became her support. My beautiful girl wanted to do everything herself until she felt the first contraction and realised she would need some help. I was there When Omari was born. I was the first to hold him and never wanted to put him down (My Precious !! lol ) but I guess I needed to let his mum have a chance to bond with him too.
When Omari got older he had a lot of questions about his Dad that Rhea was unable to answer. She didn't know what to do so started to distance herself from him unintentionally.
She borrowed some money to set up an outdoor eating establishment.
She borrowed some money to set up an outdoor eating establishment.
After putting an ad in the local paper for staff she waited for applicants and only one turned up a familiar face she thought she'd never see again.
Tyson was back the nerve of him to turn up now and expect to just pick up where they'd left off. Rhea told him about Omari and although shocked at first he begged to be given a chance. Against her better judgement Rhea hired him and introduced him to Omari.
Omari lit up he had a Dad. He wanted him to take him fishing, teach him to ride a bike, Take him to the park. Just do all the fun things Dads did with their Kids. Tyson wasn't that man "look kid it's early days how bout we just hang out while I'm here at work" Omari could tell from Tyson's uninterested tone that he thought he was just an annoyance so with his head hung low Omari headed home.
I knew what I had to do. I called him over "pack a bag Omari we're going away for a few days"
