41. Who Really Are the Lee's?

Once Taesha entered the airport that afternoon, at first glance, she noticed the name Burlington Kingdom Lee Airport. Not giving it much thought, she went to the baggage claim area and waited for her luggage to show up on the belt. Once she retrieved all her belongings, putting them on the cart, she rolled her cart over and stood across from the information desk as instructed in Dexter's letter. While waiting, Taesha hoped that Dexter would be the one to pick her up from the airport. She stood there taking in the exciting sights. She was dressed semi-casual in a pink long-sleeve blouse, her black full-leg pants, and her five-inch pumps. Taesha's massive hair was full of curls, and her makeup reflected the soft color of her blouse with fuchsia lipstick on her lips. Her eyes discreetly pay attention to the people, most of who appear to be business folks in suits and ties. And the females, with their slick flat iron hairstyles, wore dresses or skirt suits. They all look very wealthy and

42. Dexter Get's a Proposal

When Dexter receives the call from the men who work for him that Taesha has arrived safely that afternoon, he is on cloud nine. He couldn't stop smiling and looked forward to tonight's dinner at his Gamma's house. There was so much to be revealed tonight, and he looked forward to it all, but mostly seeing Taesha. That's when his phone rang. When he looked at the caller ID, he was stunned at who was calling him. "Father, hello." "Dexter, can you come to the house within the next hour?" "I was in the middle of preparing for something." "You can't spare an hour of your time?" He sighed heavily, holding the phone away from his ear. "Yes, I'll make room in my schedule to meet with you." The drive to his parent's home to meet with his father he knew wasn't a good thing. It never is when it comes to his father. Dexter tried to anticipate what he wanted. He thought maybe his mother told him about his important introduction and possible announcement tonight."Maybe he wants to be invite

43. Getting To Know Her

Taesha swiftly speaks up to somewhat ease her mind. "Oh, I don't mind sharing how we met that night. I was on my way to a ski lodge. But, unfortunately, I got off work late and got into an accident on a detour road in Colorado." "Yes, Mrs. Lee, it was very kind of him to stop and help me. I will always be thankful," Taesha said, giving Dexter a look across the table that conveyed more behind that message than thankful. "Taesha, I've been meaning to ask you, how long do you plan on being in Burlington?" Pamela inquired abruptly, changing the subject. "Ma'am, I'm planning to stay at least two weeks." Taesha smiled, looking at Pamela and the rest of the family, that rapidly paid attention to everything she said out of her mouth. Then Taesha transferred her gaze across the table to see Dexter's reaction. Dexter, as he was about to say something, his Gamma begins to question Taesha further. "What about your family? What about your job? Will they be okay with you being gone for so long

44. A Gift of Joy and Pain

Once she and Dexter's mother were settled in the living room, Taesha presented her gift to Pamela Lee. "Mrs. Lee, I brought you a gift. I hope you like it." Taesha warmly says, handing her the beautiful red and gold wrapped box. Pamela smiled as she opened up the lovely wrapped gift. Taesha had purchased two beautifully carved flower crystal wine glasses with a similar flower design wine bottle of her famous hibiscus and saffron wine. "Oh, how lovely the set is. It's beautiful.""Thank you," Taesha replies, pleased that she liked it."I don't think I have anything quite like this. Thank you again." Pamela says, gently placing the wine glasses back into the box while examining the bottle filled with the crimson red wine more closely. "What kind of wine is this?" "It's an original wine. I make it myself. It's a wine made from hibiscus and saffron flowers.""A wine made from flowers? That's different.""All of my family and friends love my wine, and they say the taste leaves you fe

45. Revealing His Love

"Is she gone?" Gamma whispered to Peggy while Pamela held Dexter in her arms. "Yes, momma, she's gone," Peggy says after looking out the front door. Meanwhile, Pamela lifts Dexter away from her shoulder but still hugging him. Overcome with emotion at seeing his family's faces when Dexter lifted his head. He smiled tearfully. "I know a man shouldn't cry unless he has good reason to, but these are tears of joy! I didn't think this day would ever come, but it did, mom. I'm so glad it did." Dexter says to his mother, happy to see her. Smiling and touching her face. "Mom, I can see the color of your eyes, hair, and skin." "Wait, what do you mean you can see us?" His mother asked him again, emotional and confused all at the same time. "Mom! You are wearing a yellow dress." Dexter states as they all let out a gasp. "Baby, you can see Gamma too?" "Gamma, you are wearing a lovely floral pink and green shawl, and your hair is a beautiful pepper and salt color, and aunt Peggy you're wear

46. Smoothing Things Over

Taesha sat quietly in the car with Riley. Still very much upset and, at the same time, worried about Dexter. “What was all the commotion about back there?” Taesha wondered. She was tired of being unable to figure it out on her own, so she turned and said to Riley. “I know you and your family feel I have no right to know what’s going on, but I sincerely care about Dexter. Is he okay? Can you at least tell me that much?”Riley looks at her and sighs. “Look, if Dexter brought you to meet the family, you must be pretty special to him. But I think what has taken place tonight. You should discuss that with my cousin.”“But what happened? I’m confused. Everything was going along okay, and I was suddenly pushed out of the front door. You must know that wasn’t right, and it was rude.” Taesha says, eyeing him, waiting on a reply.“I apologize if you felt my family was being rude to you. It’s just that we are the only child to our parents, and our mothers and Gamma can be very protective of us

47. Keep a Secret or Save the Relationship?

On the third day, Taesha mustered up a little energy preparing to leave the room to go downstairs and eat breakfast. But instead, she stood there looking in the mirror. “What is it about me that makes men do this to me?She has beautiful skin and hair, a shapely physique, and is reasonably attractive. Not to mention she’s intelligent, hardworking, and capable of being a good wife and mother someday. But even with all her physical, mental, and emotional attributes, that didn't stop her ex-fiance from shattering her heart. Taesha’s whole world changed physically and emotionally. She dropped more than twenty pounds in a two-week time frame.It took several months for the depression that draped over her to disappear. She also had ended up cutting her long hair very short because the stress caused much damage to her otherwise healthy long mane. It took Taesha a year to put herself emotionally and physically back together and get back to living life. And yet she still has apprehensions abou

48. Doing What Feels Right

After talking with Taesha and convincing her to stay another day, Dexter went to his mother's house that afternoon. As usual, he checked to make sure his father wasn't home. He needed private time to tie up loose ends from a couple of nights ago at Gamma's house. However, he agreed to keep quiet about what was happening to him and not tell Taesha. It didn't feel right to him, and he hated that dinner with his family didn’t go the way he had planned. The more he thought about his mother’s reaction, how she dismissed Taesha and what she had requested of him. It made him upset and depressed that his mother couldn’t be happy for him. “Mom, I thought you, of all people, would be happy and thrilled for me, I don’t understand, and I see I was wrong.” “No, I am happy for you. But, Dexter, you are my only son! And as your mother, all I want is the best for you. But I have to look out for you and my future grandchildren. I don't want them to suffer.” “I’m sorry, mom. I got to do what feels

"Hello." She said, feeling strangely nervous."Can you be dressed and ready in 15 minutes?" "Yes, I will be ready."After hanging up the phone, Taesha still struggled with her feelings. She had never felt more confused. She wondered. Why would he make me feel these negative feelings right when I'm just starting to trust him?Taesha wanted to believe and trust Dexter as she did in Colorado. So she sat on the bed, trying to make her mind up about tonight, just in case he showed up.Dexter was going to show up. He pulled his black and gray sweater over his head. Then, slipping into his black straight-leg dress pants, he walked to his closet and slid his feet into his Charcoal colored dress shoes. Dexter put on his gray leather knee-length coat, tossing his red and black scarf around his neck.Taesha hurried and gathered her outfit from the closet. She picked out a black thigh-length leather circle skirt with a pair of sheer off-black dotted pantyhose.With a maroon tight cashmere short-

50. Confessions

The waitress came to check to see if they needed anything else. Right when Taesha was about to remind him of what she told him six months ago in Colorado.After Dexter told the waitress they were fine, she left. Taesha gathered her thoughts and said."Dexter, do you remember these words I said to you?""Since this is your first time dating a girl of another ethnicity. You have to think about your fans and family. How would they feel once it comes out that you're dating a girl like me, a girl of another nationality? I asked you if you would be able to handle all of the pressure. What about your family members? Everyone is not for interracial relationships. Is that what happened the other night at your grandmother's? Is that why they escorted me out of their house? And is that why you were hurt because your mother couldn't accept me like you thought she would?""No, Taesha, that's not it." "Then what else could it be, Dexter? I couldn't bear hurting you, and I'm not going to come in be
