La'Nae Grant-Davis
After doing a few news interviews in front of the courthouse I quickly made my way to my car, of course I had to have a driver/security for today. I didn't need any of those weird ass people following me to my car or home.
As I sat back and got comfortable in the back seat my driver drove by the daycare to pick up Italy, she was only going today because I had to go to the court house and shit. I hated doing all this fake ass grieving but I had to keep my story going, my mama was going down and I couldn't careless. That's the karma for doing me dirty. I always get my revenge.
My phone chimed twice letting me know I had 2 text message, I unlocked my phone smiling at the message on the screen.
"Be ready by 8:30pm I'm picking you up for dinner" the message said. I bit my lip and giggled like a school girl and replied a simple "ok". I didn't bother asking what to dress like because I always put some fire shit together.
I scrolled on my phone checking my email and replying to a few, I had a few vendors emailing me about products. I wanted to test the waters with everything. Now that Lena had her baby it's only a matter of time before we can get shit all situated with the boutique.
When I looked up I noticed we were about 2 blocks from Italy's daycare, I sighed and stuffed my phone into my purse preparing to get out and go into the building. I had been fake crying for the cameras so my makeup was all messed up so I put on a pair of black Prada sunglasses. I flipped my hair over my shoulder as I got out of the car walking towards the school. I walked into the main office and signed Italy out. I took a seat while waiting for them to bring her out front.
About 5 minutes later the receptionist was walking into the office with Italy and Amber just as Auntie Tina was walking in the door.
"Hey auntie" I said with a smile and hugged her.
"Hey baby, how you holding up" she asked me all sympathetic.
"I'm okay auntie. Maintaining, how are you" I asked her.
We made small talk and conversation while walking to our cars.
"Come by and visit ya auntie sometime. You and that baby" she said smiling before getting into her Benz truck. One thing about Ms.Tina Grant she stayed in the newest from clothes down to cars, since she's retired she's living her best life.
Pulling off we headed home, I still hadn't told Italy about Marcus. Not to be spiteful but because I honestly didn't wanna tell her this, it was going to crush her. I decided to cancel my date tonight because this was more important.
"Can we reschedule for tomorrow? I gotta tell Italy about her daddy and I know she's not gonna take it well" I read over the message before pressing send.
"That's cool ma, I know how this shit go. Handle ya business. I'll see you tomorrow beautiful" he replied. I started to blush as we arrived at the gate for our community.
We got home and settled in before we sat at the table to have dinner, once we finished she put her plate in the sink. We went upstairs and got cleaned up for bed. Italy had just gotten out of her bath and was in the bedroom putting on a pajama set we got from Target.
"Hey baby. Sit down let's talk really quick okay" I said patting the seat next me on the floor.
"So baby remember how you been asking about daddy?" I asked her, she nodded her head up and down in return.
"Okay baby so mama gotta tell you something. Some bad stuff happened to daddy. He got hurt really bad" I began.
"Is he okay mommy" she asked me.
