DEBBIE'S POV

After I woke up from my nap I opened my eyes and seen Zach's eyes in front of me.

"Ma you know you've been sleep for a really long time"

"What time is it?"

"9", I groaned and rolled over.

"Where's your dad?"

"Bye ma", he jumped out the bed trying to run out.

"Stop Zachary'on. Where is your dad?"

"Ma be cool, I gotta go"

"If you leave and I have to get up..."

"Okay okay okay, but listen Linda, I can't tell you becaaauuusse Pops said don't tell you", I raised my eyebrow at him and gave him a mama look.

"You forgetting that yo dad not gone be able to save you from me. Tell me where his is"

"Mama you tryna catch a playa slippin", he said raising his voice like he a pimp.

"Boy sit down somewhere. Where is Zoey and Zarius?"

"Sleep. They got a whooping"

"For what?"

"Fighting"

"Fighting for what?"

"Zoey got mad and hit him on the head and he pushed her so she ran to him and slapped him so they started fighting"

"And grandma whooped them?"

"No daddy did when he picked us up"

"Oh okay, you hungry?"

"Yeah"

"What you want to eat?"

"Some spaghetti"

"Okay big boy I'm gone make some Quesedillas with anchovies in it"

"Mama nooo, you know I hate Quesedillas and anchovies"

"And you know I want you to tell me where yo dad is so if you don't tell me, then you gone be hungry the rest of this week"

"Okay maammmaaa, he went with Richie"

"Oh he did?", I asked raising my voice.

"Yes ma'am he came and picked him up and they left a few hours ago"

"So y'all been here and you didn't wake me up"

"Lela was here but she just left"

"She was here and didn't come see me?!", Lela is my home girl I met when I first moved to Atlanta. Me and her used to work together since Marcus and Richie worked together, they had us working together.

"She came up here and seen you were sleep"

"She could've woke me up. Come on let's go eat some quesedillas", I said getting our the bed.

"Maammmmaaa", he whined and I started laughing.

"I'm joking baby calm down. Come on", we walked downstairs and he watched me make the ground beef for the spaghetti.

"Did yo dad say what him and Richie were doing?"

"He just said he had to make a run and he'd be back tomorrow afternoon or night. I was supposed to tell you that he got up early and left though to talk to Paco"

"So he really have you lying huh? That's alright though I got something for him. When you finish eating I'm a have you do something"

"Does it involve me lying? Because then y'all would do the same thing and neither one of you can say the other was wrong", I can't stand that he's right.
