First I want to give honor to my Lord Jesus. I also want to honor my family who believed in me through all my ups and downs and came to my rescue time and time again. I love you much. I would like to add my gratitude and thanks to the staff at the Atlanta, Georgia Main Library, (3rd floor) Jacksonville, Florida Main Library, and friends Thomasina B, Mildred P, Javasha O, Tyler S, Megan R, Don R, Renee W, Toni O, Arletta C and Ronald B for helping me bring my dream to reality. Thank you from my heart. I dedicate this book to my granddaughter who was born with a heart condition but had so much faith to live even as an infant. She inspired to me to keep writing even when at times I felt like giving in to life’s pressure.
5800 Playpen Drive
As Jackson and Triniti lay in bed together, the motion of the water beneath the cruise ship had already rocked Triniti to sleep and Jackson was just about to drift off when he heard a couple arguing on the balcony. Jackson slid out the bed quietly and slipped on his shoe thongs. He walked to the glass sliding doors and stood there for a minute watching the waves. When the couple saw they had an audience they walked off. Good he said softly his baby had just dozed off and he was going to be upset if Triniti started crying because of some loud mouthed couple standing outside his stateroom arguing. He walked outside and looked over the rail the water was calm a tiny island in the distance caught his attention it looked deserted. He started to reel a little he blinked his eyes and tried to focus then he stumbled back into the chair as if he were having a heart attack. Everything went black for a few seconds and there he was crouched down in a fox hole pushing up and down on his comrade’s chest. One two three he spoke out loud. He leaned over and put his ear to Scott’s face he listened intently for his breath. With all the noise of rocket fire and guns blasting he couldn’t hear a sound. He put his hand under Scott’s head and lifted it up slightly, tilted his face just a little to the left as he whispered Scottie man can you hear me? Scottie don’t die man don’t die. Jackson gently pushed Scott’s eyes closed as he began to pray while pulling his trigger. Please don’t let me die in this war.
Boom! Dirt was raining down on him he looked to the sky an orange ball of fire was exploding. Wah…wah…he heard Triniti crying in the background he turned his head from side to side to clear his mind while jumping up. He picked up his daughter and began to comfort her while singing one of his favorite gospel songs. Triniti enjoyed her daddies singing soon she stopped crying. Jamie stuck her leg in the door and twirled her foot around in a couple of circles then kicked off her sandal. Jackson took a few long quick strides and pulled his wife close to him locked her in his arms and began to kiss her strongly. Jamie was in love with her husband and Jackson’s kisses were her weakness. Jackson stepped back from her lifting her right arm straight up into the air and said baby that tanned body is looking real good right now as she turned slowly around. Jamie smiled and swiveled her hips a little to tantalize her husband. Jackson pulled Jamie close and said with a hint of playfulness let Jackson take you for a ride on his ocean liner. Jackson Wisdom Stanley she said in a sultry voice then gave him a quick kiss and scooted away. You must have forgotten that we dock in thirty minutes I’m going to take a shower. While Jamie was in the shower Jackson made sure they didn’t leave anything behind.
There was a line of cabs on the street waiting for the ship to dock. Jackson and the cab driver put the suitcases in the trunk while Jamie and the baby got into the car. The cab driver turned slightly and spoke thru the divider where to? 5800 Playpen drive replied Jackson. 5800 Playpen drive repeated the driver youuuuu got it. The baby was quiet Jackson and Jamie were looking out the windows it had started to drizzle. Some people were walking normal some were trying to cover up their heads and others were starting to jog then the heavens opened up and rain was pouring down everywhere. The splatter of the rain on top of the taxi was all you heard in the car. The cabdriver started a conversation so huh where did you go? The Bahamas Jackson answered. Was it good weather there this time of year asked the driver? It was great replied Jackson it was our anniversary and our first time taking a vacation together. Oh congrads said the driver may you have many more. “Nooooo”…. screamed Jamie stop the car stop the car! The brakes were slammed down and right in the nick of time lightning had struck a huge tree and the tree plunged down to the ground in a blink of an eye. Jackson had fast reflexes he had dropped his body over Triniti’s car seat like a ball player holding on to the football to score a touchdown. Then Jackson screamed Scottie! And the taxi driver screamed back what it is? His English sounded broken his accent had become very heavy. You alright man? The baby was crying and there was bedlam in the street. A siren was blaring somewhere in the area the sound kept getting louder and louder Jamie started to whimper a little. Jackson said man get us up out of here I’m just three lights down on the right. He started to sing Oh happy day to the baby to calm her down but he didn’t know all the words so he was making them up as he went along. Jamie got some tissue out of her hand bag and wiped Triniti’s tears. Then she dabbed her own eyes and gave her husband that look he knew well. What asked Jackson? She just smiled a little. The cab driver yelled slightly okay we’re here 5800 Playpen Drive. Jackson paid the driver and he got out to help Jackson with the luggage. Jackson saw the wet stain in front of the cab drivers pants, he remained silent looked up at the sky for a second or two and started whistling softly. When the driver looked down, he started speaking in his language real fast. Then he told Jackson real fast I gotta go gotta go. Jackson said man I think you already went. The driver started speaking a mile a minute in his language again while walking quickly to get to his car door. Jackson took the luggage to their bedroom and Jamie started heating up Triniti’s baby food. Jackson came into the kitchen and said sis Jamie held up her hand and said stop it right there Jackson Wisdom Stanley I’m your wife now. Jackson told her about the drivers’ wet pants and she joked with him about his Oh happy day song. They were a loving couple. Shoot she had been with Jackson ever since she was a baby except for that time they were separated for a while. Jackson pulled her up from the chair and gave her one of those long kisses that she loved when Jamie caught her breath she asked Jackson, what was that for? He patted her on her behind and changed his voice style when he said no one loves you more baby. That’s how Jackson was he was just suave like that.
Jamie took the baby to her room to put her to bed while her husband went to their bedroom and put on a Barry White cd the song I can’t get enough of you was playing. He looked into the mirror and pretended to slick back the sides of his hair then he raised both arms to flex his muscles and struck a few poses as he lip synced to the music. He started to sing out loud but his voice was cracking and he was coughing every few words. He looked in the mirror and said Barry White you got the voice but Jackson’s got the body. He took off his shirt and pants put on his pajama bottoms and slipped under the silk sheets.
Jamie stuck her leg in the door first then gave Jackson a little strip tease. When she got down to her bra and panties she slide in bed next to her husband threw her leg over his and pulled the sheet up over their heads. He leaned back slightly and turned off the lamp next to the bed.
The sun was shining thru the bedroom curtains with a beautiful glow.
Jamie opened her eyes and looked at her bare feet poking out from underneath the blanket. She glanced at the picture of Triniti and Jackson on her nightstand put on her robe and slippers and moseyed into the bathroom. She splashed some water on her face brushed her teeth and went down stairs Jackson had the baby on his lap watching some children’s program. Triniti was staring at the television like she really knew what was going on. She kissed her husband and said good morning while picking up her daughter. Jackson told her he had made coffee and asked did she want a cup? She said yes and walked over to the dining room table sat Triniti on her lap and started to tell her about the plans she had for the day. Now Triniti she said mommy is going to get a new hairstyle a manicure and a oh so needed pedicure today. Triniti was reaching for the buttons on her mother’s bathrobe she let her play with the buttons for a while then put her in the playpen next to the table. Jackson put her coffee in front of her on the table she bowed her head said a silent prayer and took a sip. Jackson asked her what time was GG coming to pick her up? In about an hour, don’t let me forget to give you her phone number just in case something happens to my phone. Jackson said ok
