its been a week since the jh show, and as of today, tasia gets to fully meet niki and grace. i have a lot of questions for her, so i hope she's ready to answer, but if not, then i'll respect it and move on. i am excited, but also nervous because i have not just really sat and talked to her like i usually would back at the shelter.

myself and tasia were currently in bed. we had a long night, and neither one of us felt like getting up yet.

"what the time looking like?"

"it is..." she trailed off, checking her phone, "ten eighteen. the chef will be here in an hour."

"instead of the chef, how about we make something. you dont have to spend money on all that food. not all of it is gonna be eaten."

"i don't mind it."

"i know, but i don't think it's a good idea"

"okay, ill tell tab to call it off. what is it that they like to eat?"

"from what i know, meatloaf with mashed potatoes and a side of apple pie.. they'd serve that to us every wednesday, and grace just eats whatever."

"what'd she eat the other days?"

"the basic soup and crackers. wednesday was like a holiday for us in there."

"one day, how about we go back there and feed them all along with everyone outside of the shelter."

"have you ever done it before?"

"well, no-"

"okay, well, we could make meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and apple pie, but our way."

"did i say something?"

"no, what time did tab say she was coming?"

"around four."

"okay, sounds good."

"babe.."

"yes?"

"what did i say wrong?"

"why do you think you said anything wrong?"

"i said ive never done it, and it was like something in you switched."

"no, i just think it's a great idea, you know? also, ill go by the store to get the ingredients."

"okay, and everything should be finished at about....five?"

"probably so, yeah."

"alright, im gonna go check on laila and call tab."

"ima stay here and sleep a little more."

"okay" throwing the covers back, she slipped into her night gown and slipped on her slippers before getting up from the bed. i threw the blanket over my face and went back to sleep.

×××

waking up, i immediately checked the time, seeing that it was now 1:56. i didnt have to question why i woke up at this time because we didn't go to sleep until 2 in the morning, so i was still exhausted, but im up now with more stamina.

i went and took a shower before going down to join laila and taisa. i applied a little of tasias perfume. it smelled so good.

the smell of breakfast hit my nose as i walked down, "mommy is awake."

"i am. good morning, my baby." i kissed the top of her head and went over to tasia, kissing her lips twice, "good morning beauty."

"good morning, sleepy head. ill fix your plate."
