Chapter 143-- DAMIAN DELILAH MALLORY HOLANNYA: Prodigal Aquarius Paradise Restaurant
Date: September 2050
Damian stood at the front door
Ushering everybody out to the waiting
Limousine. "Come on my People
Be quick about it wifies!" Sidney
And Saderi were willing to go along
For the experience they had heard
Rumors of. They were both hurrying
Through the door as Myselah was
Coming in to help with babysitting.
Saderi reminded her, "And Missy
Remember there's seven of them
With Damian's bunch and your
Baby brother. Myselah said, "Yeah
Ma I know his name too, Ajafi Damoni
Right." Saderi responded, "um yeah
Well...And they were
Already fed and... Myselah said,
"Ma please I know. I know the
Routine. Okay! Now you and dad
Go have a time forget your troubles!"
And besides I have help don't I?
Mama Daughtry? Saderi said,
"Oh yes Of course and the twins
Godfrey and the rest." Damian
Informed, "Ma Daughtry is in the
Additional if you need her. And the
Rest of the kids
are in the library. Be sure to
Call if you need alright catch you."
Now they walked to the limo and
Were in and sped away.
The ride Was a 45 minute duration.
Into the bustling night.
Upon stepping from the limo the place
Was obvious. Prodigal Aquarius Paradise
Spanned the entire city block with
It's tinted black glass exterior. Mellow
Jazz played beyond the wide glass
Doors. All six of them took in the
Scene and tried hard not to be awed.
With their sensory stimulating surroundings.
Damian tapped Sidney's back,
"Hey brother I think we just discovered
Our next investment." Sidney replied
"Yeah haha how could we pass this
Opportunity by!" Dolly pointed,
"Oh look the stair case!" The staircases
Boasted a topaz glass with aquariums
On both sides. Molly said, "Ah well
This is just a little much." Damian
Said, "Naw it's just right." Holly chimed
This is beautiful! Buy it baby! I think
You should big cat!" Damian laughed
"Yeah I will definitely think it over.
Let's find a table. We need another
Chair. There's five to a table. Grab
An extra." Damian observed the
Ceiling saying, "take a look the
Ceiling appealing transparent crystal?"
Sidney said, "I can not hide my
Wonder and there's aquariums at the
The beginning of each staircase."
oh I'm dumb! Well I mean of course
Putting it all together under one
Roof? A great idea. Yeah I think this
Needs the Hakim name!" Damian
Laughed out loud, "Yeah! I think so
And I can speculate that it cost in
The neighborhood of billions!"
Trees lined the entire first level
Reaching the ceiling.
"More than one hundred!" Dolly
Took a menu from the burgundy glass
Table and searched for African
Cuisine, "Well their prices are not for
the impoverished that's for sure."
A waitress slid into their atmosphere.
"Hello I'm Letrisha will you like to
Order now?" Now Saderi finally
Spoke. "Did you notice the dolphin
Fountain on the second tier?" Dolly
Said, "Yeah uh-huh we should have
One installed for our place! haa!
Damian addressed the waitress and
Ordered a French dinner. Everybody
Order various French Indian and
African cuisine. The wait for orders
Was a frustratingly long hour but
Appetizers were served first. When
The meal was served, and they began
Consuming they and Spoke investments.
Damian said, "So yeah I am in negotiations
For a building and I'm looking for
Something large. And on the comfort
Scale say residential accommodations
3 and 4 bedroom apartments for
The homeless. I don't want homelessness
To be a thing. You know? So this
Is no rent all appliances included
Furnished rooms. I think I can afford
That!" Sidney said, "You think you
Might want some family inclusion
Brother?" Damian squeezed His
Shoulder and laughed. "Hey of course
Sid of course man and I am a generous
Man and I know you are too we're
Cut from the same cloth after all.
So I'm willing whole family involvement
On this project too." Damian continued
"And they need a source of income
So we have the peoples card account
It's not really a credit card. It's more
Of a grant. So now hey. I'm
Contemplating since they have
Income why not charge rent?
The card will be worth 5K right?
One thousand a month in rent for
four bedroom apartments. That
Has got to be a steal. What say you
Family? Are we in this?! And we do
Have an obligation to some kind of
Universal satisfaction? Maybe?
Making sure everybody's
Happy nurished and have a place to
Lay their damn head! Then any good
You do comes back to you." Sidney
Added, "That's karma man! Pay BACK!"
Now Damian reached across to
The other side of Dolly who sat next to
Him, and touched Holly's hand.
"Happy birthday my love. I am
Planning your pleasant life Misses
Hakim." With those words the whole
Table gasped. Now. Mallory had
Protested, "Yeah. Damian?" Everybody
Watched Damian waiting for his
Remark. He said, "Yeah Mallory!
You'll be Misses Hakim too. Babe
You thought I'd exclude you? Naw
Babe I am Mister Master LOVE
benefactor my belove.
Damn I love this stuff! I WILL plan
The appointments ASAP! with
Rings and things." Molly exuberantly
Pleased. While Holly leaned backed
In her comfort exhibiting much
Glee. Molly wasted
No minutes, "When! Mister Hakim!
"Soon very soon. I'll keep you updated
Alright?"
