Chapter 21: Devyn
Kala coming to me with such a big issue warmed my heart. I had yet to go through getting a period with my own daughters, so doing it for Kala would be perfect practice and a great bonding experience. Our first interaction wasn’t the best, so I was honored that she came to me for something so important. Part of me felt bad that she couldn’t share the experience with her own mother, but she needed some there at that moment. I just happened to be that person.
I wasted no time heading to Walmart to pick up the necessary items needed for a young girl’s first period. I also got the items to make my

Found Chapter 1: Devyn
Starting over was hard to do. As much as I would have loved to have stayed in Arlington, Virginia, but the lifestyle I was once afforded by being a colonel’s wife could no longer be supported by my income alone. Sterling, my husband, was the love of my life. He was everything a woman could have hoped for in a man. He was kind, smart, and a terrific provider for me and our five kids. I was content with the life we had built with each other, but life had other plans for us.&nbs

My eyes shot open as I was awakened by the constant ringing of my phone. Usually, I was a light sleeper, but I had been dog tired lately with everything going on at work. Being a foreman at a construction site, I made decent money. Unfortunately, I was putting in long hours. So for the past few weeks, I was really operating off of four or five hours of sleep. I wasn’t complaining about it, though. Everything I did was for my five, beautiful daughters and also to work toward my goal of owning a construction company.Without even looking at my phone, which was lying on the nightstand, I already knew it was my ex-wife, Skylar, who was

I stood at the doorstep of Zion and Nisa’s house waiting for one of them to open the door. I had just gotten off work, and I was beyond tired. I was there to pick up my girls and see what they wanted to do for the day. So there was no time for complaining. I would get sleep whenever I could. “Hey, man,” Zion said as he opened the door to let me in.

“I really don’t want to go out, Brena,” I moaned as she rummaged through the boxes in the middle of my bedroom floor.“Girl, you are going.” She waved me off as she continued to look through the boxes that she kneeled in front of on my bedroom floor. “Your parents volunteered to watch all five of your kids, and that is a sign from up above that you are meant to hit the town. I know you haven’t been out since Sterling passed.”She

“Hi, Devyn. Nice to meet you,” I said as I sat down next to the copper-skinned beauty. I chuckled to myself at her mannerisms and the shyness that she was displaying. There was something about her that drew me to her. It surprised me that I even wanted to know what it was. “Nice meeting you too,” Devyn whispered nervously.

When my text notification chimed, I chuckled seeing that Devyn responded so quickly. She said she would text me later, so I wondered what encouraged her to get back to me so fast. Whatever the reasons were, I had to admit I was feeling good about it. After our conversation the night before, I knew we were going to remain in contact. It was surprising she beat me to it.Exiting my bedroom, I followed the sounds of laughter coming from my daughters. Sadia, Ariah, Layla, and Danai were in the middle of the living room floor playing with their dollhouse. It made me feel like a proud father seeing how Layla and Danai were still behaving like little girls at the ages of seven
