Fictional Story: I got you covered

Richmond, VA the ghetto where Desmond Hooks grew up in




It was a stormy day in Lake Charles, LA. This interracial married couple have been covering for one another when it came to their jobs with their bosses and their expenses. Ginger Rooke-Hooks 49 and Desmond Hooks 50 have been covering for each other since Desmond moved from Richmond, VA 26 years ago. Probably the most unique thing about how Desmond and Ginger met is when Desmond served in the Air force Reserves when Desmond was 20. Desmond Hooks a black man 6'0" had feelings for a beautiful Caucasian red head woman with beautiful brownish-bluish eyes named Ginger Rooke who was 5'1 & 1/2" tall at 19. Ginger kept things cool and noticed that Desmond was sporting his Air Force uniform. Desmond was a mail carrier at the company that Ginger worked for in Lake Charles. When Desmond served in the Reserves for 4 years he was doing civilian work as mail carrier and part-time work in the Armed Forces. Desmond grew up in the ghetto part of Richmond, VA. Desmond never was around people of different backgrounds but Desmond always knew that he would get to meet people of different backgrounds. When Desmond went into the military, Desmond met different people from different backgrounds while he was in the Air Force. Desmond knew that being around a lot of diversity would automatically help Desmond come out of his comfort zone. Desmond would learn that some of the people who he would meet would become his best friends who were from a different background then Desmond. 

Meanwhile, Desmond was trying to figure out how could he tell Ginger Rooke that he liked her. Desmond always wanted to come to Lake Charles and believed that Lake Charles would be where he would be transferred at when he got out of the military. Ginger spent long hours at work typing and answering the telephone at her job. On her break, Desmond had a chance to talk to Ginger. Ginger took her 30 minute break and Desmond happened to be delivering the mail that stormy day. They just had small talked with each other and Ginger had this really cool way that she would spin her hair. Desmond had a crush on Ginger and complimented Ginger on her beautiful red head. Whenever Ginger would come off her breaks late from work Desmond would cover for her. The boss was a woman and the mail carrier Desmond had a way he interacted with people. He would always say after he would deliver the mail these very words, "Have a blessed day!" Ginger's boss mentioned to Ginger that she should take the day off and go out on a date with Desmond. What Ginger's boss did, was make reservations for a wonderful restaurant at Chart House for Desmond and Ginger. Desmond and Ginger had such a wonderful time that they went out to that restaurant 2 more times. After the third time at the Chart House, Desmond had this wonderful diamond ring and Desmond proposed to Ginger at Chart House. Ginger with her effective hair spinning saying "Yes!" was priceless. Whenever Desmond would come in late for work, Ginger would always cover for him. Desmond's boss, who is a man thought that they should throw an engagement party for Desmond and his fiancee Ginger. That was such a wonderful party!🎉

When the 2 couples wed 20 years ago, they said the ultimate wedding vows. The very emotional words come from this heart felt poem below. They made sure that they would stay together forever. Besties and as a married couple Desmond and Ginger's poem would express how they feel about one another. The title I got you covered is what sums up everything. Their 2 children (2 boys) would one day understand when they are grown what it means when you got that special someone's back and that very special someone's got your back what true love really is.

I Got You Covered

We are like 2 peas in a pod
Who always cover for each other 
Our bosses' sees how much we belong together
Everyone is happy for us and it really shows
That we are there for each other that help make everything flow
When we are late from our lunch break from work
We always cover for each other
It's kind of like what we said to each other in our wedding vows
Thank you so much for all that you do bestie
For always being there and covering for me
I am happy that we are husband & wife 
We all are one big happy family together what a wonderful life
Our 2 boys will one day understand and experience that moment
When they and their brides are saying their vows
"Saying these very words that we have said to each other out loud!"
"I got you covered and I'm proud!"
