His Mate, His Girlfriend
Raya was the first one to approach,
" I knew it. I just knew it! Congratulations, Michael!" she was genuinely excited for me, and I smiled as I hugged her back.
She hugged Todd and smiled back at my father, " I wish Preach were here. I told him Michael would have the perfect mate," Dad didn't seem impressed by her, but Raya didn't care.
" Dad," I called slowly. He chuckled, unable to believe this. He looked at the rest of the family,
" You're all pulling my leg, right? Is today the 1st of April?" The 1st of April was fools' day. We loved it in my family because it was the day we played pranks and teased each other.
