Romeo had finally returned home to Venice Beach, California. He hasn’t been home since the day he left for New York to sign with the XWA. Before he would return to his house he would see his family. He stepped out of the cab that had driven him from the airport and stood before his parent’s house. It was almost a year since the last time he’s seen the house and since he’s seen his family. He threw his duffle bag over his shoulder and began walking toward the main door. Once he reached the door he rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. Soon enough the door had opened and his mother stood there looking at him. Within a few seconds his mother wrapped her arms around him and began to squeeze. She then kissed him on his cheek.
"Romeo baby, its been so long since I’ve seen you, almost a year to be exact. What happened to your wrist? How come you never came to visit? I know you had some off time."
"Ha, hey ma. Yeah I know it has been a while huh? Ya’ know when we’re on the road, we’re on the road. We traveled from place to place. There really wasn’t any off time. There were weeks every month that we got to just chill, but I had to keep trainin’ and everything. I gotta keep in shape. I don’t matter though, I’m here right now so let’s just enjoy the time right now that we all will have together. Long story short on my wrist was that I was attacked after the awards show, but I really don’t wanna talk ‘bout it though. How’s pops and Ashley doin’?"
"They’re good. Ashley is spending some time down in Florida. She’s been working hard and so your father and I sent her down there. So my son, have you found a nice girl yet?"
"Nah ma, I mean I’m on the road a lot so I really don’t get time to meet a girl. Ya’ never know at some point I’ll be bringin’ someone back here to meet ya’ ha ha. Now where’s pops. I’m goin’ inside to look for him."
Romeo stepped into the house and made his way toward the living room. There his was, poppa Davis sitting in the recliner chair watching soccer on T.V.
"Well look who it is, my long lost son. How ya’ been Romeo?"
"Good pops, I’ve been real good. Had myself a great rookie year and now I’m back to visit. How’s the coachin’ goin’?"
"It’s going. The team is doing pretty decent this year. We lost a lot of good players due to the draft to the MLS so we have to rebuild and quick. But overall it’s going well. How long ya’ plan on staying?"
"Well I was hopin’ to head down to Jamaica and Haiti to enjoy the beaches and also help with the community. Then from there I was thinkin’ of headin’ back over to Europe to train for the next season."
"So there you go running off again. I haven’t seen you in almost a year and you are leaving already?"
"No ma cause you two are comin’ with me. I got the plane tickets and everything. Y’all betta’ pack quick cause we’re leavin’ tomorrow. I have to spend time with the fam. Too bad Ashley wasn’t here to come too. I bought her a ticket and everything, but it’s cool. Go get packin’."
Romeo smiled as his parents ran up to their room to start packing. He knew that this would excite them so that they could return to their home countries. They’ve had chances but they never went back to visit. Now they finally had a chance since Romeo was taking his parents with him down to the islands. Romeo went and sat down on the nearby couch and dropped his bag on the floor. He then proceeded to watch the soccer game that his dad was watching.
