Family drama! Family
drama! She insisted that there had to be
drama. According to her the unthinkable had
been done. They had killed off the Stallion family line! She was adamant that someone needed to answer
for such a sin!
I assured her that no such thing had been done. In fact, the Stallions are still kicking,
still strong, still entertaining, but their family line has grown, as it should.
Then I leaned in close and we gossiped a little. “That Stallion brother Matthew, he’s the
second oldest son, remember? Well, he
and that long lost sister Phaedra both married into the same family; the
Boudreaux family!” I whispered.
“Now that was a scandal!” she gushed. Her laugh was just a touch wicked as she
continued. “Papa Stallion was a rolling
stone! That Phaedra girl came out of nowhere! But what do we know about these Boudreaux
people?” she questioned.
"You don’t know the Boudreaux’s?” I responded. “There a very well respected family out of New
Orleans. Katherine and Senior Boudreaux’s
brood. They say there are nine of them.”
“Never heard of them,” she replied.
“Matthew married their daughter Katrina and Phaedra Stallion
married their oldest son, Mason. And she
married well. That brother owned a chain
of hotels!”
She hesitated for a brief second. “That kind of rings a bell,” she
answered.
“Well, it should. How
can you forget the mess they got tangled up in while they were visiting
Thailand? Mason almost didn’t come
home. And, Matthew’s wife Katrina is a
district court judge. This is her second
marriage and you know they say she was expecting a child before the two made it
down the aisle.”
She gasped, clutching a hand to her chest. “What!” she screeched. “Kimani let something like that happen?”
I nodded. “Some
things just can’t be helped,” I replied.
“Didn’t that Katrina Boudreaux already have one son?” she
asked.
“That’s right! She
had a child with her first husband. Now she
and Matthew Stallion have a baby together.
She had a beautiful little boy named after his father. I’m told they plan to call him by a nickname
though. Baby Jake or something like that.”
“These young folks and their nicknames!”
“I didn’t think that one was too bad.”
“What about that oldest Stallion brother John? Have he and that lovely wife of his had any
children yet?”
“I don’t think so but then I’m hoping to catch up with them
very soon.”
“I’m sure that will never happen!”
“And I’m sure it will.
I know for a fact that you’ll catch up with John and Marah through
Maitlyn Boudreaux. She’s the oldest
Boudreaux daughter. They’re all
traveling in Morocco together as we speak.
I hear she can’t wait to get back to share the dirt. They say she’s met a man over there. After her nasty divorce she really needed one, if you get my drift!”
“Humph! It’s still
not my Stallions!”
“But you’ll get more brothers with these in-laws. I hear Mason, Kendrick, Guy, Donovan, and
Darryl Boudreaux are foine!”
“How foine?”
“Stallion foine!”
“You sure about that?”
“Deborah Fletcher Mello wouldn’t do you like that!”
She nodded. “So where
do I start?”
“Passionate Premiere is Guy Boudreaux’s story. He’s the black James Bond, you know?”
“Double-O-7 James Bond?”
“The black one!”
“How am I supposed to remember who’s who?”
“Deborah’s got you covered.
Check out the Family Tree page on her website, I Ain’t Said Nothing But
A Word. It’ll get better and better as
she keeps us up to date with who’s doing who and news of any babies we need to
know about.”
“Anything else coming that I might be interested in?”
“Darryl Boudreaux’s book is coming in July.”
“What’s his story?”
“Another tall, dark, drink of rock solid man to lose
yourself in.”
She nodded. “I can
work with that. And I’ll still be able
to keep up with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John Stallion?”
“And then some!
“The Boudreaux Family, you say?”
“From New Orleans!”
