"Where the hell... are those shoes ! " Hurrying downstairs , I looked in the spare closet we had & there they were . I quickly slipped them on & before I could turn a full 360 , Chresanto was behind me laughing . " I tried to hide like 4 pairs of your shoes but you always find them . " I gave him a nasty look & he laughed even more . I walked into the living room to get my keys & I headed for the door .

"Amore ! " I called , this girl was moving so fast I could barely get a hold  of her . " Amore ! " It's like she didn't even hear me .

"Baby ! " She turned around , swung her hair and face me a pouty face . "Yessssss? "

"Ooooh . Then you answer me ! " I smirked , "Shutup , what do you need ? I gave pumped , it's in the fridge . That's the only thing that'll keep her crying . " Before she went on , I swung her bag in front of her face . " You left your bag . You know ... You don't really have to go to that audition . I could have you meet with people & set you up , you know , get you through the process & shit . "

"Yeaaaa, NO. I want to do this for myself , you know ?  I wanna do me ... My own way . " She smiled . I went over to where she was and kissed her . I didn't really give a fuck if she didn't want me to . It's like I kind of knew she wanted me to . "Chres... Stop . " I stopped . But she kept kissing me . I pulled away and smiled at her . "You might wanna ... you know .. wipe off your mouth ... My lipstick got all over it ... " I laughed & went inside the house to check on Bailey . Once I walked inside the house I noticed Bailey was playing with a toy .

Not just any toy . An unfamiliar toy . And it was beeping ... And the beeping got faster ... &a faster . Then I realized that it wasn't a toy . It was a small unregulated bomb. I grabbed it before it could even explode , ran outside down the dead end & threw it over the building .

I squatted low & covered my ears .

BOOM !

I was shaking . Shaking like never before . I ran back into the house & checked on Bailey . She was laughing & playing with another toy . But this time , it was one I bought . I picked up Bailey and rubbed her back just to see a note on her back saying :

Strike One .

What type of shit is this ? I thought . Police sirens were going off down the street & smoke was arising . I grabbed Bailey & the baby carrier & quickly ran down the street . Just to see a masked man in black in the front of my house , laughing and smoothly walking off .

"Aye... Yo ... What the fuck ? Aye .. AYE !!! " I wasn't gonna chase him . That's stupid . Especially because I have my child in my presence . I let the man run off & I went back inside .

"There has been a slight bomb in the eastern part of Atlanta , Georgia . Nothing major as we have seen but there has been many car alarms and car particles flown off . No one has been killed , although they say two had been injured  . Witnesses say , the bomb was out of the blue & no one had expected it . " Local news woman reported .

Oh . My . God .

"Answer the phone , Chres ! Answer the phone !" Yes . I was talking to myself . I could barely breathe right now . They said no one was killed but ... what the fuck ?

I quickly ran home & inhaled and exhaled as fast as possible . " Oh my god.... Tears running down my eyes , mascara running like niagra falls . I don't think I was breathing . I pulled up in the driveway & quickly ran inside to see Chres & Bailey watching tv together . I fell to the floor & sobbed loud .

"Baby? What's wrong ... What's wrong, Amore ? " He said running over to me .

"I ... I- thought you were hurt ! I thought you & Bailey were killed . I - I " He cut me off and held me tight . " We good , Ma ... We doing just fine .. It's gonna be okay . Stand up , stand up . "
I ran over to Bailey and hugged her tight . She touched my nose and smile at me . "My baby ..." I sniffed , and smiled . She was everything I ever imagined .

"Amore ... We do need to file a report though . " Chresanto said , seriously .

"About what ?" I asked .

"Somebody trying to harm us . I don't how or when . It's going to happen , though . "
