It's the next morning and I wake up to the smell of bacon and eggs , I walk down the steps into the kitchen to find my mother cooking breakfast . There are plates of eggs and pancakes , bacon and everything on the counter . Then there is my mom with the biggest smile on her face .

"Hey Ma , what's all this?" I say eating a piece of bacon 

"Hey Baby , I decided to cook a lil something u know , since you have school and all "

"Oh ok , That's good I'm glad to see that your doing a little better" I smile

"Yea I do feel better , I truly do" she says smiling

" Where were you yesterday , Mateo gave me sandwiches but you wasn't home"

" Oh yea! , I got a job at Starlight  , Mike interviewed me last night"

Mike was my uncle , he owned a new bar and grill in Queens. He's been offering my mom a job there but she has been refusing it until now I guess ."I'm happy for you mom , this will be good for u ; I know it will" I say hugging her

She hugs me and pushes me towards the bathroom

" Hurry and get ready , I'll bring u to school "

"Ok damn ma, alright  " Laugh and walk into the bathroom

I open my phone for the first time all morning and I see a text from an unknown number

UNKNOWN

LAYA

   *************

I put my phone on the charger and hopped in the shower .It's honestly the first time I've decided to go out on a date with a guy that ask for my number . Normally I ignore their messages and disregard their compliments , but HE is just.... DIFFERENT.

When I get out I put on match lingerie and a pair of black jeans with a white long sleeve round neck top . When I sit down in front of my vanity doing my hair  I get a text from Brittany .

BRITTANY

Hey Best , u up ?

LAYA
