Chapter 5: Latoya

Inside the bridal suite is my mother, my supposed mother in law, the two furious women, two men, and another bride and groom. Lord let this not be what I'm thinking. I walk into the room and the door is immediately shut behind us. There's a moment of silence, no one knows exactly what to say or ask. It's just crazy. I study the other bride. Gorgeous facial features, model body; slender but with a nice set of hips, ass and boobs. Her skin and hands are as smooth as a baby's. Everything she is wearing is expensive and gorgeous. Then there's the groom. A real chocolate cake, dark skin with the thick lips that have probably been responsible for the falling of many women and has a big muscular form as well. Almost the same height as Evan. His features are a bit similar to his mother's.

This is the guy I was supposed to marry.

My eyes trail back to the other bride and she is staring daggers at me. What the heck? The situation is clear here but... never mind I'm exhausted. My feet are killing me. I go sit on the bed and remove my heels then turn my eyes to the furious women.

" forgive me for my lack of patience but I'm still waiting to hear why we have been brought to the bridal suite....?" I ask nonchalantly

" you can't be black and dump....can't" Evan's mother shrieks

" watch yourself you half witted barbie doll!" My mother instantly shoots back

( thank god my sister is not here otherwise..)

" Ma'am please refrain from the insults and just tell us why we have been dragged here..." the policeman states calmly

My own husband is sitting close to me holding my heels bored. ( yup we all can't be lucky..)

" I don't know how you managed to mess this up Evan but really?" I'm guessing his father

The look of disappointment is unreal.

" What happened here? Why the heck are both of you both married to not only other people but also people of color? What the hell?!" I'm guessing the bride's dad

My mother is getting annoyed and this never ends good. I'm too exhausted for this

" okay... white people... okay children I'm Charlie Jacobs and I'm Latoya's mother. Apparently there's been a mixup with the weddings completely and you are now married to the wrong people... I know this is confusing and draining but yeah.... Your parents are not happy with that and they are hoping you can switch back or find a somehow better solution..." my mother reasons trying to be calm

" can they though because the marriage certificates have been sent to the city hall a long time ago..?" Policeman's mother asks genuinely concerned clasping her hands

I can see the wind being knocked out of the colonizers' lungs. I'm too stressed and I want to sleep. The phone I had tucked into my boob incase my mother called suddenly rang earning attention from everyone. I take it out and it's my annoying boss. Lord bless my soul but I'm about to vent all my anger and frustration on him. I let go of Evan and go outside

" what?!" I snap

" don't you give me that attitude young lady! " Where the heck are you ? You said you were getting married and all I saw wasn't you getting married.... Did you send me to the wrong hall?" He asks genuinely confused

Arghhhhh I can't hate this major idiot.

" no... I married the wrong guy..." I whisper into the phone ashamed

He takes sometime quiet then bursts into uncontrollable laughter

" are you fucking serious how?" He finally asks

" Gary you are the absolute worst!" I snap

" can you blame me? This is a nightmare!" He says

" I know and....." I don't even know what to say

" it's ok Latoya.... It's ok... shit happens everyday and to everyone.... It's ok... calm down and try to find a way to solve this I'm going to entertain the guests" he tries to comfort me but it's not working my mind is racing right now and I don't want to go back in there. I hang up and walk back in. The white women are angry and cursing, my mother and policeman's mother are conversing like old friends as if nothing is wrong. The other 3 are just in their own worlds.

The knot in my stomach tightens.

I stumble in my dress, how embarrassing.

The parents go out to investigate and deliberate. I go sit on the little table in the room and munch on chocolate coated strawberries. That seems to get my mind off things.

Policeman walks up to me and takes a seat in front of me.

" Latoya Jacobs?" He says looking at me with a smile

" well what do you know? It is you!" He says again

" huh.." I manage to say with a strawberry in my mouth

" I'm Floyd Evans city central federal department head" he introduced himself with a toothy smile showing off his whites

" hie..." I'm still confused

" I'm guessing you don't remember but our departments have worked together on many cases and most of them are with you.." when he says this I remember I'm a social worker

" oh yeah! I'm sorry... I'm just a bit stressed that's all" I say smiling shyly

It's embarrassing.

" believe me I understand" I laugh

" what a crazy day we have head?" I say leaning into my chair

" crazier than I've ever seen and I've seen a lot! How the hell did we marry the wrong people? If I ever have to explain this to my men it's over for me!" He says laughing

" lucky you! I gave a try at it with my boss and I didn't have the words! This is outrageous!" I vent

" so are you okay with switching back?" He asks genuinely curious, I see he is conflicted too. I have no answer. My mind is back to racing again

I take a strawberry and put it in my mouth. These strawberries are big and sweet, I need a whole bucket of these because they are tasty!

He joins me in eating my berries!

Then the parents come back

" unfortunately for us you can't switch back because the media covered the whole thing live and the certificates cannot be changed nowand because we had a racism thing last year this would cause problems" Ms Forder says begrudgingly

I give a heavy sigh and I see Evan giving me a death glare like my sigh was a heavenly sin.

" and also it would affect you Latoya and Floyd very badly considering your jobs and positions too" Ms Evans says

Wait!

WAITTTT!!!!!!!!

THE BOYS ARE THE PROBLEMS HERE THOSE FREAKING NAMES REALLY!!!!!
