Kenny awoke for work. A'rina still sleeping. She was carried back to the bed. Kenny kissed her forehead. And made way out the door.

I awoke back in the bedroom. Kenny was now gone. I'm not going to lie I couldn't help myself. I snooped through the room. He had jewelry, nice sneakers, a couple bills, and a few books. "Nothing unusual here.", I thought.
I watched TV for awhile. Then I took another nap.

*Ring Ring*
*Ring Ring*
*Ring Ring*
I scurried up to find where the sound was coming from. It was a phone obviously. Once I found it, I answered. It was Kenny.
"Hello?", I breathed.
"Hey, get ready. I'm taking you shopping. Would you like that?"
"Yes. Ok! Yea, I'd like that."
I became so grateful.
"Welcome home."
I waited for Kenny to come up.
"Hey babe. You ready? Let's go." He gave me a tight-fresh hug.
Once we got in the car he handed me three wads of cash.
I don't remember touching money like this. It was definitely a great feeling. It was probably about $500.
Kenny smiled at me with love. Like a kid looks at his mother.
'Oh yea, I'm definitely blessed.'
