I wake up. "Good morning."

"Morning."

"You hungry?"

"Yeah. But I need to get back home to my kids."

"You want me to pack it up for you?"

"No I'll just eat really quick and go."

"Alright." I ate, took a shower, he gave me some clothes. "Take some more."

"I don't need anymore."

"Just take it."

"Where you getting money like this from anyway?"

"None of your business." He kissed me. "I'ma be over there."

"Okay."

I go inside my house. "Hey girl."

"Hey."

"How was it?"

"It was good."

"Really?"

"Yeah. My kids up yet?"

"No. So did you guys have sex?"

"Yeah. Obviously. It was really good and I think....I'm still in love with him."

"Noooooooo. Friend you weren't supposed to catch feelings."

"I know. But I miss him. I really do. He was nice and wants me back which is what I didn't expect."

"But what about the girls?"

"He wants to meet them."

"Girl. This wasn't supposed to be like this. You were supposed to go to his house, fuck him, get the money and leave in the morning."

"Well he was gonna give me the money whether I fucked him or not. So yeah. He gave me enough for rent and bills and extra so I can buy something for the girls."

"How much extra?"

"Like five hundred dollars."

"What? You need to get with him. He got big money."

"Is this the same woman who said I shouldn't get attached?"

"He has money. Fuck everything else I said."

"Okay wow."

"So y'all had sex but you didn't have to for money."

"Yeah. Layla have you seen him? He's fineeee. It's been so long since I've had sex and he's so cute."

"Did he use protection at least?"

"I forgot about that..."

"Devineeeee. Do you want more kids?"

"No. But it was in the moment."

"Whatever. I'ma go home now."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye girl. Better be safe."

"I will."

We're at Walmart. "Mommy. Toy please?"

"I'll get you a toy after we get food, okay?"

"Kay." Chicken nuggets, breakfast food, snacks, stuff for dinner. "Okay let's go to toys now."
~~~~~~~~~
I'm putting my groceries up while the girls play with their new toys. I'm glad they're happy. I just payed my bills when Layla left. "Mommy someone's outside." I look out. "Baby just play with your toys, Mommy will get it."

"Okay." I open the door and walk out. "Hey gorgeous."

"Hey." He kissed my cheek. "What you here for?"
