Antonio "Tone" Meyers

Getting up this morning I yawned then stretched out in my king sized bed, when my arm reached the other side of the bed it touched a warm body. Turning over I was greeted by a sleeping Amber. She looked so peaceful, sleeping like an angel. I placed a kiss on her forehead and pulled the covers from over my body.

I walked into the bathroom and began my morning, i washed my face and brushed my teeth before getting in the shower. When I got out of the shower I peaked in my room still seeing Amber asleep. I hurriedly tip toed to the closet so Amber wouldn't see me naked.

I threw on a nice suit and tie, I checked myself in the mirror and sighed, today I had a meeting with my lawyers and Temeka. After that meeting I had a meeting at a car dealership I was preparing to buy. Now that shit was getting real in the drug game I wanted to take a step back, enjoy my daughter.

Snapping from my thoughts I went into Amber's room and into her closet. This girl had so much, her and Meka would shop until they dropped. LITERALLY!

Going through the racks of clothes I finally decided to dress her simple today, I grabbed black Nike jogging suit and a white under shirt for her to wear. I grabbed a pair of black and red Nike's from her shoe rack and headed back into my room.

Amber was just now waking up so I took her into the bathroom to handle her hygiene, she didn't need my help using the bathroom so I stepped out giving her some privacy. I was raising a young woman so I had to show her different things in life.

"Done daddy!" She yelled from the washroom.

Putting my phone away in my pants pocket I walked back into the washroom to help Amber brush her teeth and to give her a quick ponytail, since there was no school today Amber was going to go spend some time with Temeka's mother.

Once she was dressed and ready to go I grabbed her a granola bar and orange juice and we headed out. About 40 minutes later I was pulling into Ms. Tina's drive way to drop off Amber.

Getting out of the car I walked around to the passenger side helping Amber from her car seat then walked hand and hand to the door. I rang the door bell and waited a few minutes before the door opened.

"GoodMorning baby" Ms. Tina cooed to Amber before leaning down kissing her cheeks.

"GoodMorning my handsome son" she greeted me with a smile stepping aside to let me in.

"GoodMorning mama T , how you doin this morning" I asked her when Amber ran into her playroom.

"Oh baby, it's all bad" she said in a worried tone.

"What's going on mama. You know I got you" I reassured her, thinking I was gonna have to hurt somebody.

"Oh baby! This right here!" She said loudly turning the volume up on the tv. The morning news was starting and the next image in the screen through me for a loop. A black womanly appeared on the screen in front of the police station, where they were walking Sharonda to a police truck.

"Sharonda Grant is in custody for the alleged killing of Marcus Davis. The motive is unclear as of now but this is under investigation and will be keep you updated as we get details. Back to you in the studio" the reporter said before the screen switched back.

"You gotta be fucking kidding" I said aloud.

"I'm sorry mama" I said catching myself

"It's alright baby. Any other time I would kick ya ass but baby that's the same thang I was saying when I got the call from her ass" she said before sipping her tea while sitting on the couch.
