War Zone: War In Our Hearts (Book 2)

The Call

"I'm so excited" Yanny smiled as she continued to eat her shrimp fried rice. We just came back from the babies appointment and we was told that shit look good and our baby healthy.

"U said that shit already shawty" I laughed. She playfully pushed me "Who u think she gon look like?"

Hopefully me. Your not that good looking, to be honest" I looked at her and she laughed "What? This relationship is based on honesty right?"

"Make me pull this car ova and fuck u up" she rolled her eyes and I grabbed her thigh, and squeezed it. "What was thag I saw?"

"Nothin baby, let go" she laughed, tryna move my hand. "Terrell, I'm not playing"

"What u gon do lil bit?" I called her the name she hate. She mugged me then bust out laughin with me. I let go of her leg "What u cookin tonight? I'm in the mood for lasagna"

"Sweet with sausages? " I nodded "We gotta stop by the store then. We ran out of sausage"

My phone started ringin. It was Dennis so I answered it, puttin it on speaker. "Hey Dennis, wassup?"

"I got good news. It seems like I'm not the only one who thinks a rec center would be a good idea for the neighborhood. I got a call this morning from Steve Homisa. He's a business man who sometimes invests his money in small businesses. When he heard that u wanted to open a rec center, he said he'd like to invest in that"

I looked at Yanny and she smiled "That's wassup. But why would he invest in somethin that ain't givin no money out?"

"He grew up in a town where there wasn't a rec center so he grew up with a tough childhood. He basically said the same thing u did. If a rec center is available, it'd keep kids busy and stop them from getting in trouble. Anyway, he's here with me right now. Come down and we'll talk things out and get things moving as quick as possible"

"Yanny and I are on our way" I hung up the phone and looked at Yanny "Look like our name and idea gettin out there"

"I know babe. This is gonna be amazing. I can already see it" she waves her hands in her face and smiled "Football an basketball team. Me with my girl thing and maybe I can help them find a job, if they want one. This will be good for us and the neighborhood"

I nodded, agreeing "And with the twins and Ty's help, this shit gon be dope as fuck"

Yanny laughed and threw a fry at me "The cursing has to stop when we're in front of the kids though"

"I know that girl. I ain't dumb" I laughed, pullin up into the parking lot. I helped Yanny outta the car and we walked inside then into Dennis office.

I sat beside shawty " Steve Homisa, this is Mr and Mrs. Jones. Mr. And Mrs. Jones is Mr.Homisa"

"Nice to meet u" we shook his hand.

"Now to business. The permits came back and everything is up and ready to get started. And at Mrs.Jones request, I made space for a playground area for smaller kids"

"Thank u" Yanny smiled.

"No problem. Mr. Homisa would like to inveat into your rec center with nothing in return." Dennis said.

"Yes, I didn't have the best childhood and I believe with this rec center, other kids will have a better childhood and won't be introduced to certain things at a young age" Steve stated "What things will u both be providing for thw rec center ?"

"Well I'll have a basketball team and a friend of mine will help out with the football team. My wife will help out the girls and have a small session where things can be talked over as well as helpin out with the smaller kids and helpin the teens find local jobs and with school work. And my lil brothers will be able to keep records in order and anythin else that needs to be done" I said.

Yea, a rea nigga can talk proper and shit.

"And what about the cleaning?" Dennis asked.

"I was thinking since a lot of elderly peolle have hars timea finding a job, a few of them wouldn't mind cleaning after we close" Yanny smiled.

"By the way, hows the baby?" Dennis asked "My wife gave birth a few days ago" he pulled out a picture and showed us.

"She's beautiful. We just came back from a appointment before gettin here and things are good. 4 months left" We talked for lil bit more before Yanny and I left to go home.
