Fictional Story: The Inheritance 3/26/12

 

Poplar Bluff, MO. (Millie's parents left Millie & Bob a Mansion.)

It was a beautiful morning in Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Millie Jenkins had worked the 9 AM- 5 PM shift and come home and rummaged through the dresser draws in her bedroom and noticed that there was a box inside. She opened the box and inside was an envelope, she opened up the envelope and noticed that there was a letter that her parents had wrote her 21 years ago when they had left her and her husband Bob Jenkins the house.

The letter reads,                

Dear Millie,

You are truly a wonderful person. You have made us both so proud to have raised such a beautiful and independent woman. You are always good at managing money, counting money, and holding money for other people. You are economical when it comes to spending and because you are so responsible even at the age of 21, we leave you some money for you to manage however you want. The amount of $800,000 was put in the bank for you to withdraw. We know you will do the right thing and spend it the best way that you see fit. You are always thinking of others over yourself, and we hope that you will take the time and think about yourself for once.                                                                                                                            

Love Always,                                                                                              

Mom & Dad,                                                                                                   

Ruthanne & Harold

Reading the letter that Millie's parents had wrote her had brought tears of joy to her eyes. Millie recalls when her parents had Bob, her fiancé at the time, over for dinner. Millie was 21 and Bob was 19. They had met when they were in high school. The first time they had met was when they went to Millie's senior prom. Millie was 18 and Bob was 16 and they hit it off the moment they danced. Ever since then they would keep in touch with each other by writing letters and calling each other on the phone.

Meanwhile, Bob was still living at home with his parents at 19 and went to a community college in St. Louis, MO. Bob had come over with a beautiful ring because he had planned on proposing to Millie. Bob had made such a good impression and got along with Millie's parents. After dinner Bob had a chance to talk to Millie's parents.

Bob confidently said, "I would like to propose to your daughter and marry her with y'all's approval."

With all smiles, Millie's parents replied, "Most definitely, you have our approval!"

Bob whispers to Millie, "Can we go into the living room for a little bit, I have something I want to ask you?"

Millie shakes her head yes and that's when Bob pops the big question.

Bob got down on one knee and said to Millie,

"I am in love with you Millie, I loved you from the first time that we met. I enjoyed going to your prom and when you came to both my junior and senior prom, I had a wonderful time. I knew that you were the "one for life." You made me feel so good and it was wonderful slow dancing with you at the proms and you are and will always be my queen. Will you marry me?"

Millie blushed and replied, "Of course I will marry you. "

Millie's mom and dad had planned on moving to Branson, MO because they saw a beautiful house that they liked and wanted to move to. The house in Poplar Bluff was all paid for. Millie's parents told Bob,

"Promise me that you and Millie will never go house hunting because we leave y'all our house here in Poplar Bluff."

Bob and Millie were so excited to be moving in the home that Millie grew up in. Millie was expecting a baby girl, who they named Sarah at the time.

Bob and Millie replied, "Thank you so much this means so much to us."

Millie's parents had passed away when Sarah was 4 and Brian was a year old.

Now it was 17 years later, Millie have 2 grown children Sarah 21 and Brian 18. Brian was still at home with his parents in Poplar Bluff and Sarah went to a college in Kansas for 3 years. Millie decided to put $100,000 towards Brian's college because Brian was graduating high school in May. Millie and her hubby had taken out $100,000 for a family vacation trips to Hawaii, the Bahamas, Colorado Springs, and Las Vegas so that they would go on a summer vacation. With the $600,000 that was left Millie and her hubby split up the money and decided they would use however much that they need for themselves and to help out their kids by giving them however much that they needed.

Fictional Story: I got you covered 11/9/17

 

 Richmond, VA the ghetto where Desmond Hooks grew up in

 It was a stormy day in Lake Charles, LA. This interracial married couple have been covering for one another when it came to their jobs with their bosses and their expenses. Ginger Reid-Hooks 50 and Desmond Hooks 51 have been covering for each other since Desmond moved from Richmond, VA 27 years ago. Probably the most unique thing about how Desmond and Ginger met is when Desmond served in the Air force Reserves when Desmond was 20. Desmond Hooks, a black man 6'0" had feelings for a beautiful Caucasian red head woman with beautiful brownish-bluish eyes named Ginger Reid who was 5'1 & 1/2" tall at 19. Ginger kept things cool and noticed that Desmond was sporting his Air Force uniform. Desmond was a mail carrier at the company that Ginger worked for in Lake Charles. When Desmond served in the Reserves for 4 years he was doing civilian work as mail carrier and part-time work in the Armed Forces. Desmond grew up in the ghetto part of Richmond, VA. Desmond never was around people of different backgrounds but Desmond always knew that he would get to meet people of different backgrounds. When Desmond went into the military, Desmond met different people from different backgrounds while he was in the Air Force. Desmond knew that being around a lot of diversity would automatically help Desmond come out of his comfort zone. Desmond would learn that some of the people who he would meet would become his best friends who were from a different background then Desmond.

 

Meanwhile, Desmond was trying to figure out how could he tell Ginger Reid that he liked her. Desmond always wanted to come to Lake Charles and believed that Lake Charles would be where he would be transferred at when he got out of the military. Ginger spent long hours at work typing and answering the telephone at her job. On her break, Desmond had a chance to talk to Ginger. Ginger took her 30 minute break and Desmond happened to be delivering the mail that stormy day. They just had small talked with each other and Ginger had this really cool way that she would spin her hair. Desmond had a crush on Ginger and complimented Ginger on her beautiful red head. Whenever Ginger would come off her breaks late from work Desmond would cover for her. Ginger's boss was a woman and the mail carrier Desmond had a way he interacted with people. He would always say after he would deliver the mail these very words, "Have a blessed day!" Ginger's boss mentioned to Ginger that she should take the day off and go out on a date with Desmond. What Ginger's boss did, was make reservations for a wonderful restaurant at Chart House for Desmond and Ginger. Desmond and Ginger had such a wonderful time that they went out to that restaurant 2 more times. After the third time at the Chart House, Desmond had this wonderful diamond ring and Desmond proposed to Ginger at Chart House. Ginger with her effective hair spinning saying "Yes!" was priceless. Whenever Desmond would come in late for work, Ginger would always cover for him. Desmond's boss, who is a man thought that they should throw an engagement party for Desmond and his fiancee Ginger. That was such a wonderful party!🎉

When the 2 couples wed 20 years ago, they said the ultimate wedding vows. The very emotional words come from this heart felt poem below. They made sure that they would stay together forever. Besties and as a married couple Desmond and Ginger's poem would express how they feel about one another. The title I got you covered is what sums up everything. Their 2 children (2 boys) would one day understand when they are grown what it means when you got that special someone's back and that very special someone's got your back what true love really is.

I Got You Covered

We are like 2 peas in a pod

We always cover for each other

Our bosses' see how much we belong together

Everyone is happy for us and it really shows

That we are there for each other that help make

For always being there and covering for me

I am happy that we are husband & wife

We all are one big happy family together what a

Our 2 boys will one day understand and experience

that moment

When they and their brides are saying their vows

"Saying these very words that we have said to each

other out loud!"

"I've got covered and I'm proud!"

Interracial Love 💕😘
