Oh Lord Pastor Banks asks little mini me to lead a prayer knowing all the time he got his G.E.D. in the Christian Academy. You can hear a lot of people in the church laughing at Sister Francis. Pastor Banks call the congregation to an attention and started preaching about we can do all things through Jesus who strengthen us. It was funny how Pastor Banks can remember the people name that pay a lot of money on their tithe. But the one’s that pay very little of money on their tithe. He had a hard time remember their name.
Just when church let out Deacon Frost and Sister Francis was back at it again. You can see Sister Francis trying to hit Deacon Frost with her purse. Robert and Caiera couldn’t do anything, but shake their head and drive off. Soon as they arrived home Mr. Phil was in front of his house grilling and sipping on his favorite alcohol Wild Irish Rose. When Mr. Phil set his bottle down Mrs. Tracy grab the whole bottle and took it to the head. Mr. Phil got madder than a rattle snake. He started throwing meat off the grill and hit his wife upside the head with a chicken leg.
I would tell you it never a bore moment when Mr. Phil and Mrs. Tracy come outside. They were forever doing something to each other. Being married for twenty five years you can truly say they were made for each other. Mr. Phil walks back in the house to get more chicken to put on the grill. Mrs. Tracy walks down to the corner store to buy some more Wild Irish Rose. She was singing to the top her lung she believed she can fly. While Mr. Phil scream out you better fly back up here with me another bottle of Wild Irish Rose.
People use to always say a family that prayed together stay together. But in Mr. Phil and Mrs. Tracy case it was more on the level of drinking together. Nevertheless they were together and love each other. The beautiful part about their marriage, they still had that chemistry. Robert and Caiera had finally made inside their house from laughing so hard at Mr. Phil and Mrs. Tracy cutting up outside. Just when they started to relax the door bell rung and it was Wanda full of tears.
They were happy to see her, but happier to see their Godchild Raymond Jr. which they haven’t seem for three years now. They invited her in to comfort her. She couldn’t believe how nice they were treating her. Wanda begin to open up to them how hard it been since she gotten out of the military. She was having a hard time finding a job to help Raymond with all the bills. Robert and Caiera started praying over Wanda asking the Lord to come into her life and direct her path.
The Lord came and quickens Wanda spirit the moment they got through praying. Robert and Caiera felt the present of the Lord in their house. Wanda started crying more ever than she did when she came through the door. She was bouncing around yelling out thank you Jesus and she had peace. That was Wanda first time experiencing the Holy Ghost. It made a great impact in Wanda life feeling the present of the Lord. She immediately screams out she want to joint their church. That may Caiera and Robert day, because they had brought their friend closer to Jesus.
They had compassion in they heart and had share her burden. Wanda was able to see the Christ like in them and she wanted that look for herself. Robert and Caiera decided to help Wanda find her a job on their college campus since there were plenty of them available. That had made Wanda day and had taken a lot of stress off of her shoulder.
Wanda replied, “Thank y’all so much. I didn’t think y’all would want to be bothered with me for the way we active toward y’all. Robert and Caiera we was wrong for turning our back on y’all, because y’all chose to get save. If we would have followed y’all foot step we probably wouldn’t have been going through this much hell. This goes to show how the devil really works. The devil wants to keep you feeling sorry for yourself, defeated, and confuse. I am here today to tell the devil he a lie and the blood of Jesus is upon him. I bind him in the mighty name of Jesus.”
Caiera blurted, “Alright now girl! That what I am talking about making that Lion run with his tail between his legs. ” “We’re happy to see y’all again and you excepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. When you keep Jesus as the head of your life and just keep the faith. You can do all things in the mighty name of Jesus. He is the truth, the way, and the life. So walk by faith and not by sight. Okay! ” Robert responded. Wanda yelled, “Spoken like a true Deacon.” “Amen sister Wanda.” Caiera uttered.
Wanda kept looking at how well things were going for Robert and Caiera. So she decided to use her GI Bill to attend San State University the next semester and take up Business and Accounting. But in the meantime she had to get her a job. So they plan the next day to get her a job on the college campus.
CHAPTER 17
Today was a wonderful day, because the Lord had answer Wanda prayer. Robert and Caiera had found her a job on the college campus. The Lord had touched the manger of Star Buck heart to let Wanda start working immediately. It was wonderful seeing Wanda happy again. Robert and Caiera went each day to Star Buck to visit their friend. The more Wanda saw her friends on the college campus. The more they became an inspiration to her. Once she learned that they were going to start their on tax and loan business after they graduate from San Diego State University.
She started counting down the months for the next semester. The next semester had finally arrived and she couldn’t wait to register for school. She decided to take the evening classes, because of her job. Everything was working out find for Wanda. Since Robert and Caiera were looking out for Raymond Jr. whiles she was in school. They love the sound of Raymond Jr. calling them Uncle Robert and Auntie Caiera. They had fallen more in love with the sound of little feet running around their house.
The more time they spent with Raymond Jr. the more time they wanted a child of their own. They spent the next three years planning on when they were going to make a child. That last year came and Caiera had gotten off the birth control pills. They try plenty of time having a child, but had no success. Caiera started thinking she may not be ovulating enough to get pregnant or Robert just shooting blanks. Robert started thinking his fishes weren’t strong enough to swim up Caiera stream or her eggs have dry up in her uterus.
In the meantime they continue studying for their final exam. Robert had felt bad, because things weren’t going the way they have planned. Each day he recognize his wife were getting sadder and sadder. He started planning a romantic dinner for her after they finish with their final exam. The day has finally arrived and they both pass their exam with flying colors. That had really set the mood for celebrating. Robert thought about making an Italian meal to get the ball rolling.
Robert headed to the grocery store and brought all the ingredients to make a mean spaghetti dish and a side salad. He also brought some grapes, strawberries, cheese, and butter crackers to finish spicing the mood. That had put a smile on Caiera face as well as her heart to see how much her husband love her. To top everything off they made a pitcher of poor man Champaign which was “kool Aid.” When they finish eating dinner, he went immediately and started running the water for a bubble bath.
He turns the CD player on listening to the sound of “Luther Vandross.” He displayed the grapes, strawberries, cheeses, and butter crackers on a trade near the tug. He than lit all the candles around the tug. He went into the bedroom where Caiera were. He gently un-dress her and then escorted her to the bathroom blind fold. Caiera were very excited at everything her husband was doing. The sound of “Luther Vandross” had fill the bathroom making everything pleasant.
They started feeding each other the grapes, strawberries, cheeses, and butter crackers. He started kissing her soft all over her body pleasing her in a way she never been pleasure before. The way he was going at it with his wife. He was determined to make a child this go round. The sound of Caiera moaning made him more horny and excited. The more she moans the harder he went at it. The harder he went at it the more she moans. Although Caiera had scratch up his back he continued pleasing her.
An hour had passed and they were still going at it like it was there first time. He exploded with the sound of pleas
ure and she exploded as well. The sound they both made indicated they pleasure had been fulfilled. They both look at one another laughing at the mess they made in the bathroom. Water was all over the floor and all the candles were no longer lit. That night they truly slept like a baby. That morning came and Robert woke up praying that the Lord bless them with a child.
Every week they went at it some days Robert were putting in some over time. Two months had passed. That last week of the third month Caiera realize she miss her cycle twice and she was filled with joy. She couldn’t wait to do a pregnancy test and share the news with her husband. She decided to do the pregnancy test first before spilling the beam. The result came back positive and she went to her husband as fast as her feet can carry her. Robert knew off back something was going on, because Caiera had that Grand ma Jenny smile.
He stood there waiting for to find out what going on. She immediately scream out you’re going to be a father. He wasted anytime calling his parents sharing the good news and Caiera were doing the same thing. They both headed straight to a clinic to be sure that she were pregnant. Once they left the clinic and found out she was two months pregnant. Robert became over protect and didn’t want her doing a thing or lifting a finger. He watches her like a hawk. She was enjoying the attention that she was getting from her pregnancy.
She started getting irritated with him helping her so much. Robert had sense how she were feeling and back off. It really had hurt his feeling, because he just wanted to be there for her. He didn’t have a clued what she was going through. So he distances himself from her for three days giving her some spaces. They been around each other for so long she wasn’t use to him being distance and quiet. She became very emotional, because she realize she had hurt her husband feeling and at the same time was missing his attention.
She went to the bedroom where he was laying down and she was full of tears. She refused to let another day go by without trying to work things out. She woke him up and started explaining to him that she been having mood swing. He started apologize to her for being so over protect. He felt like a real jerk seeing his wife full of tears. He explains to her this was his first child and he just wanted every thing to go right. They had spent the whole night making up and cuddling.
That morning came and they woke up to a better day, because they were heading to their graduation. They both were excited because they had earned their Bachelor Degree of Science in Accounting and Business. June 16, 2007 were a very special day for them both, because it was the day they gradated and the day they went looking for to buy them a building to started their business. They spend days looking for the perfect location to start their business, but no luck.
CHAPTER 18
They had been out for five months now searching for a building and where about to give up for today. Caiera had spotted the perfect building that was in the middle of all the business in downtown San Diego. To make things even better they was selling it for $65,000.00. Robert and Caiera didn’t waste anytime calling the owner up and sealing the deal. November 21, 2007 they became the proud owner of Washington Tax & Loan institution. They had spent $35,000.00 having their new building renovated.
They made sure that the sign above their business was in big bold letter. You can spot their business a mile away and that just how they wanted it. February 11, 2008 was their Grand Opening and then business took off very successfully. Robert and Caiera were very excited on how many clients that they had on their first day of business. They also were happy at how they had renovated the place. They both being 27 years old and accomplished their goals that were a major step for them.
Robert and Caiera couldn’t believe how liquidated their business was. The first and third of every month their money was rolling in, because most of their clients were receiving SSI. Robert and Melvin thought their path will never cross again, but it did and this time it was Melvin that needed help. He walks inside Washington Tax & Loan Institution and saw Robert sitting at his desk. Robert was shock and happy to see his brother walking toward him. Melvin arrived at his desk asking for to apply for a loan and a job.
He introduced Melvin to Caiera as his brother and she had this puzzle look on her face, because Melvin was a white guy. Melvin were shock to find out Robert had gotten marry, own his business, and where getting ready to be a father. Robert and Melvin share their story with Caiera on how they met. Caiera was blown away that her husband was once homeless and really was telling her the true about his past. She begin to except Melvin as part of the family and they decided to give him a job as they receptionist.
They offer him a much better paying job that was right up his alley. That day Melvin wasted anytime quitting his security job at the Grey Hound bus station. He was happy to start working the same day he got hired. Robert and Caiera loan him the money that he was getting ready to apply for. Since they hire Melvin it made their job a hold lot easier. Things were going very smooth until Mr. Phil show up wanting to apply for a loan. Mr. Phil was very drunk as usual so they knew this was going to be a crazy day.
Mr. Phil immediately asks for a loan to buy a case of Wild Irish Rose, but he had none of the requirements to get a loan. Mr. Phil had been laid off his job for four years and was living off his wife SSI check. Robert tried to explain to Mr. Phil that he needs his wife to come and apply for a loan. Mr. Phil became very upset about being denied for a loan. He started being rude toward Robert. So Robert quickly escorted Mr. Phil out the door. Mr. Phil walks away cursing and calling Robert a stuck up high minded Christian.
Robert went back inside the building laughing and shaking his head about what Mr. Phil call him. Instead of getting mad Robert went back to his office and prayed for Mr. Phil. Later on that day Wanda came in and applied for that job they had promise her. Everything was looking up for Robert and Caiera. They were happy to hire their friend and Caiera started training Wanda on her new position right away. It took Wanda no time to catch on her position. That Friday Wanda started working.
Robert was in such a good mood. It was the weekend Robert and Caiera decided to grill some steaks and ribs. They invited Melvin and Wanda to their cook out. It really made their day to see their godchild Raymond Jr. and their friend Raymond Senior. In which they haven’t seen for awhile. This day had brought back many good memories for them all. Robert didn’t want today to end, but it was getting late. Everyone pack up and departed ways. That Saturday morning Caiera woke up with labor pains.
Robert jump out of the bed after hearing his wife scream. He thought the house was on fire. Little did he know his wife was about to give birth. He immediately put on his clothes and ran to the car with her bags and drove off heading to the hospital. He certainly realized he left his wife standing in front of the house. He quickly exits the freeway and double back to pick her up. When they arrive at the hospital Caiera water broke. Her contraction started coming faster and faster.
You can hear Caiera all the way down the hall screaming hurry up and get this thing out of me. Robert told her to come down it would be alright. That was the wrong thing to say to a pregnant woman. She started yelling at Robert you did this to me. He didn’t know how to respond watching his wife go through so much pain. He was very excited watching his daughter being born. As the baby came out he started yelling we did it being a proud father. Caiera took one look at their baby girl and whisper to Robert it was worth all the pain to complete our family.
Caiera name their daughter Roberta Washington after her father Robert Washington. Robert became a Deacon at their church. He later on down the line opened up a youth center for trouble teens. He minister to those that was runner ways, drinking alcohol, during drugs, and having sex. Caiera continue being a woman of virtue and Robert being the man of valor. They both were living the life that God wanted them to live. Until this day they both minister to the sick and loss. They are truly soldier in the army of God. They want people to know that. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you di
d in life. God will use you to show the world His greatness.
