Chapter 97 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: Family Times and Projects
Date: December 2042
Early afternoon, Damian was
Busy in his den planning the trip
To Trinidad. He called CJ first
To confirm his commitment to
The project. "Hey brother you
Still on for that trip we spoke
About." CJ exuberantly replied,
"Oh The Trini trip. Yeah!
I was wondering what was
Holding you back." Damian
Reminded him, "We need to
Purchase the plane tickets
Today!" Damian's voice boomed
In the spacious den. He said "as soon
As I'm done speaking with you.
I'll Purchase my tickets."
"And bring Ricky for the trip.
DJ Damali and Amadeus will be
With me. CJ, schedule the trip
For departure within 3 days."
CJ said, "Alright...brother you
Know how I operate." Damian
Spoke with booming alpha
Substance, "Yeah, CJ three days
Be there." He disconnected then
Purchased the tickets online.
But canceled instead opting for
their private jet. He called CJ
Back to tell him. CJ said, "Man
Damian I Purchased..... Damian
Said, "Cancel." CJ was all static
Prepared for Damian, "Look you're
The youngster here little brother i don't
Don't know why I keep allowing
You to Dominate." Damian
Chuckled then said, "And How
Long have you been holding
That? "Look you don't have to
Make this trip with me. Instead
I think I prefer Julius. So
Speak your peace man." CJ was
Stumped he knew he really dug
A hole this time. And he had to
Dig his way out. "Well look
Damian, you know how I get
Sometimes I've always been
That way because you try to
Control. Just... you know let me
Boss half the time." Damian
Replied, "Yeah, I know but since
It's always been this way why
Aren't you used to it, MAN?"
CJ was flustered but couldn't
Produce an answer. Damian
Continued, "Now, do you want
To fly with me or not!" CJ said
"Yeah, yeah....I'll go." Damian
Said, "Alright. You know the
Airport." Then closed out. No
Goodbye just silence. Damian
Called for the private jet and
Designated for the time,
Taking off 9 pm Monday. He
Called CJ back, he said "the flight
Is for nine Monday night at
Harrison- DeJoni airport. See
You there." CJ said, "Yeah."
They hung up. Damian left his
Den saying to himself, "Now I'll
Close the deal with Mallory."
He searched for Molly. Found
Her in the family room resting on
The couch watching the news.
He groped aroused and tenaciously
Tortured her. Then they went to
the bedroom.
Most of the kids were in the
Game room the twin girls were
Talking with their mother and Dolly
In the white and green marble
Colored kitchen.
Justin and Jordan were in their
Room talking with their cousin
And roommate Benawi Aka Nawi.
The conversation: Jordan asked,
How old are you Nawi. Benawi
Replied, "I'm ten. How old are you?"
Justin said, "We're eleven." Nawi
Said, "Ooh yeah" as if he was
Amazed. "You're twins." Jordan
Replied, yeah it looks that way."
Justin asked, "How old are your
Brother and sisters?" Nawi
Answered Oh, Hoki is 12 and my
Sisters their twins too. They're
Thirteen". Justin volunteered,
"My brother Amadeus is Thirteen
And my sister is too." Jordan
Asked, "What's your brother's
Name again?" Nawi replied
His real name is Holikiah but
We call him Hoki." Afterwards
They went down Stairs.
At that instance it began to rain.
Then followed by thunder and
Lightening. The tweens changed
Their minds about watching TV
Instead they ran to the
Game room cowering from the
Storm. Most of the kids were there
Then. DJ and Damali were in the
New house. DJ was busy figuring his
Homework while Damali spoke on
His phone. Damali said, "Okay bye
Baby girl I have to study and so
Do you, I want to See A's on your
Report, you hear me?" Alright." He
Disconnected the call. DJ remarked
"Baby girl? Yeah Damali?"
Damali responded, looking dead
Into DJs eyes and said, easy cuz
You don't have to protect her from
Me. I'm her protector. Alright?"
DJ replied, "Yeah. Alright let my
Father know." Damali cracked,
I damn sure will I'm straight cuz."
The new house was
Furnished with two couches
A love seat, a table in the kitchen
With a microwave oven,
Solar powered stove.
And a huge refrigerator.
The couch was accommodating
with a foot rest. There was carpet
upstairs and downstairs. They asked
Damian if they could have beds in the
Rooms. But he blew them away
With every kind of NO imaginable.
After that tyrate Damali concluded
That they were both scarred for
Life. Now, Hoki and Amadeus were
In the game room.
Desharah had finished her
Conversation on
The phone with Damali. At the
End of the day Damian turned
His attention to renovating
Deuces, his bar. He would call
All necessary people to handle
The work.
Finally December 31st new year
Was here. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!"
hugs and kisses were exchanged.
The HAPPY Hakims celebrated
Mildly trying to be the best they
Could be. Everybody sat sedate
And serene and then with all
Out party extremes. Amadeus
Made it His business to kiss
Almost every woman of the
Family wishing them dutifully
A New year of happy happenings.
Damali sat with Desharah
Talking about their family.
. He said, "You'll be
Fourteen this year Deshi. I'll be
Seventeen you know."
Yeah, but we still won't be grown-up."
"That's true" he said, "I know and
But... we are...at least I am about
To be done with school." He was
Trying not to sink. She threw him
A life saver. "But now I'm only in
9th grade. When you graduate
Next year, I'll be
A southmore." A huge smile invaded
Damali's face. "Yeaaah. Study
Hard Deshi." DJ was conversing
With Sashi about his future.
Telling her he'd be going into the
Family's Real-estate business
After he graduated and go on
To college also.
Days danced away. And on
January fourth DJ turned sixteen.
The family concerted and threw
A extravagant party in his
Honor at the infamous
Copy Cat Club. DJ was overcome
With excitement. He Embraced
Dolly. "I love you ma."
He hugged his father tightly.
"Thanks so much dad." He stepped
On to the newly erected stage
And said, "Thank you family.
I love y'all!"
