Chapter 1 "Ezra come pick your toys up off this floor so we can go" I said to my 3 year old son. "Yes ma'am" He said while putting his toys in the bin. "Before we leave do you have to use the bathroom" I asked putting his shoes on. "No ma'am" "mommy I hungry" He said tapping my thigh "What snack do you want" I said looking in the pantry "um chicken wuggets" He said tapping his face. "That's a meal and we don't have time for that I'll just get you something on your way to your Tete house." I said grabbing my keys"Look who finally came to visit" My best friend Saryiah said "Teee Ry" Ezra said giving her a hug. "See I'm glad someone cares about my well being." She said. "Girl you're just being dramatic." I said sitting down. "Whatever but how you been lately girl" She asked "Same since forever but I really try and focus on work in my free time." I was a real estate agent and honestly great at my job it was definitely a passion of mine. "Oh girl I forgot to tell you Nathaniel got some extra tickets to his game Sunday so I was thinking" She said looking at me, Nathaniel also known as Tank Dell Wide Receiver for the Texans is her boyfriend since we where in college. "I don't know I like my weekends free plus who would watch Ezra" "Girl please you know my mama and sisters would love to spend time with him" She said which I knew was true. "You're right but- I don't want to hear it you need a weekend off" She cut me off "I don't know Ry" "Pleaseeee" She begged me "ugh fine" I said rolling my eyes. "Yayyy" She said clapping her hands
"Stroud takes the snap—pressure closing in—he sidesteps, buying time. Eyes downfield—he sees a receiver streaking to the end zone! He launches it—a laser—threading the needle between defenders. It's caught! Touchdown! Unbelievable! Stroud just won the game! The crowd is going wild! What a play!" You heard the stadium erupt in screams but I didn't know what was going on so I just sat there scrolling on my phone. "You wanna go down to the field with me or you just going home" Ry asked me "I don't have anything better to do." I said getting up. By the time we got to the field I knew my feet were hurting and I knew this was gonna take a while so I sat comfy on a bench. After about 10 minutes of sitting and scrolling on my phone I felt someone walking up behind me. "You wanna go to the club with us tonight or you just going home" Ry asked me "Nah I think I just wanna grab something to eat and go home after that" I said grabbing my purse, see normally I would go out with them but I wanted to catch up on all the work I had to do. "Ok well make sure you text when you make it home" "Alright bye boo" I said giving her a side hug "Bye girl see you later" She said before I turned to leave .
Before I made it home I decided to stop at the 24 hour grocery store to grab me and Ezra some snacks.When I walked in it was mostly empty so I grabbed a buggy and started shopping. When I got to the ice cream isle I grabbed a pint of cookie dough for Ezra and some strawberry for me. The strawberry was all the way up top so I couldn't really reach it so I was struggling till I felt someone walk up and grab it for me. "Here you go" I heard a lightskin tall ish guy with black locs say passing me the ice cream. "Thanks" I said grabbing it out his hand "out of all flavors you choose strawberry" He said scrunching up his face "Um yes, do you have a problem with that" I said because I really don't understand the hate strawberry gets. "To each their own, but that is an interesting pick" He said "Says the random man in a grocery store" I said closing the freezer door and putting it in the buggy. "My bad it's C.J. you" That's when I realized it was the dude from the football game "It's Stelle" I said "Well it's nice to meet you Stelle" "Nice to meet you also C.J." I said before walking off
