Rehearsal Dinner
Tiara “What da hell is this?” Melody asks, twirling the food around her plate.I take in the look on her face and fight back a smile, “It’s octopus.”She splutters, “What?!”“Uh-huh.”“Gurl, I’m black. Black people don’t eat weird ass food.”I laugh. “Yeah right.”We are at the rehearsal dinner and the ballroom is basked in the warm glow of expensive candles and the gentle hum of conversation. Donald Lemptons is here, finally, coming in merely an hour before the dinner, and now he sits all-powerful-like at the head of the table, flanked by Ciara and Grace on both sides, and every other person looks small in comparison.A part of me tugs at my guts, whispering, ‘you should be there, in that circle with them. They are after all family, they should have to acknowledge you too’But I’m used to all the years of neglect by them, pretending I don’t exist in their glamorous family. Maybe except my mother, but to her I’m a different family than this one. To her, both of us make one family, an

TiaraMy eyes are trained on my dad as he drops his fork, clears his throat and smiles. “I guess so, Donald.”What? Donald Lemptons just insulted the man, and he was acting like they were talking about the freaking weather.Melody shares a look with me and I return it with a small shrug.Donald Lemptons isn’t done. If anything he looked pissed that my father wasn’t offended with his comment. “So Africa huh?” his voice rings across the table again, “you find any married woman to your taste?” he spoons a mouthful of his food into his mouth like he didn’t just deliver one of the most hateful sentences, leaving it out there in the open.My mother’s eyes are two large circles as her gaze moves from her husband to my father.My father in question doesn’t bat a lid. The smile is gone but he holds Donald’s gaze unflinchingly, “None, unfortunately.”I almost laugh. He is playing his game, leading him on, pissing him off the more. Knowing Donald, I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad th

Tiara I can’t sleep.It’s hard to when the conversations keep playing in my head;“. . . you weren’t silent all those times you fucked my wife in all the cities you took her to. . .”“. . . inviting your lover to my daughter’s wedding? . . .”“Leave her out of this,”“. . . would you love you if you were me?”Too much information for one night. I don’t know what to feel. Happy that my father wasn’t lonely after all? Hurt that they had both lied to my face? Angry that she cheated on Donald? Does that even make me angry? I don’t think so.I’m overwhelmed, my feelings are in a state of flux, rapidly morphing and merging into one another, leaving me disoriented as I replay the whole night.Ryan left me alone for a while and I appreciated that he decided to give me some space to think. But in the middle of the night he knocks on my door.His features are etched in worry when I open the bedroom door and he doesn’t wait for an invitation to enter which is as well considering the number of

Tiara“Where you ever going to tell me?”My mother plucks a wild flower, twirling its petals in her hands before she replies me. “Maybe.”It is weird. Not only the fact that she has never been the type to be uncertain all my life – she is a yes or no person – but also the fact that she, Grace Lemptons, just picked a wild flower regardless of the fact that ‘it would prick your finger pads’ or ‘they’re way too dirty to hold.’ Those were the words she told me when I used to play with them as a kid.“Maybe?” I ask her now.She shrugs. “You were going to find out eventually. James thought it’ll be best if you knew after the divorce.”“You were filing a divorce?”“I didn’t want to at first,” she slumps her shoulders as we walk along the pathway surrounded by untrimmed ledges and the sounds of morning birds, “I was always so selfish. I wanted it all. It wasn’t fair to him. To keep him on the side.”She is just realizing that now?“I asked him y’know. Few days ago I asked him if there was so
