I couldn't stop smiling the whole ride to India's school. I mean she was late and I missed my meeting but I just couldn't stop thinking about Vincent , not that I wanted too. I know you may be thinking why is she acting like a 5th grade with a crush she just met the man but he was cute and I'm shy I don't even date I've never even had a real boyfriend... shit now I sound like a hoe.. you know what , that's a story for another time .
"Mama!" I heard screaming behind me.Some way ,some how I was parked in-front of her school.
"I'm sorry baby ,mama went on autopilot." I said unbuckling her from her seat and helping her put on her backpack before walking her into the school.
"Good morning Ms. Sanders , late morning again? "
"Morning!" India and I shouted back walking into her class. Bending down to her height I put her backpack in her cubby and kissed her cheek.
"I'll see you later ok babe" I whispered standing up to leave.
"Wait mama! You forgot!" She yelled as I walked towards the doors holding her small pointer finger towards me smiling real big at me whomatched her actions.
" I love you best friend." She said to me as I pressed my finger against hers.
" I love you too mini me." I said walking out to search for a new job once again before I go home to change for my shift of the job that I already had.
Y'all probably think we're corny but this little handshake I guess you would call it started last year when India came running into the house everyday calling everybody "best friend" one of the only words she knew how to say correctly and I jokingly told her that I was the only best friend that she would every need to which she took personally and danced through her classroom end of the year party and taking back her statements of making everyone else her best friend because she had "the bestest of the best best friend anyone could have" and it just kind of stuck. Even though she's 3 she's really smart, she can tell when people are upset and loves to make people smile she even helps me look and clean up after the hamster she begged me to get a couple of months ago.
"Where's my key ,I just had it" I mumbled looking back through my junky purse walking up the stairs to my apartment almost tripping over my own feet.
"Found it !" I shouted pushing my key into the door and pushing so hard that I fell on the ground. Shouting so loud it echoed through the house and flying across the ground nearly snapping my foot in two.
"Are you okay?. I heard a low feminine voice question from the door
"Ahhhhhh who are you !?" I yelled holding my chest .
"I'm Lennox and you are?" she replied calmly
Wtf is going on and why is this random woman in my apartment.
@londonbeloved as Lennox Bailey
