"Angie, Ty both of ya'll need to chill." I said as I struggled to keep the phone to my ear while I was getting dressed. Angie and Ty called me on threeway when they found out I was back in Houston and didn't come to visit them. "I just got here yesterday and I haven't had time to visit anyone besides my sister."

"Well you should of made time for your favorite cousin." Angie said.

"Yea Angie tell her, you should of made time for me. Imma remember that the next time you need your hair snatched for free." Ty said.

"Actually Ty I kind of need my hair done, I sweated it out yesterday. If y'all would of gave me a chance to call y'all, y'all would of known I was planning to come down to the shop today."

"Mmhmm yea right." Angie said.

"And how did you sweat your hair out? It wasn't even that hot yesterday."

"It was hot enough."

I heard the door to the room open and I knew it was Shawn.

"Hey baby" He said as he kissed my cheak.

"Hi." I smiled.

"I brought some breakfast back from Ihop." 

"Omg thanks I'm starving."

"Your welcome."

"Ummmmm Beyonce?!?!" Angie yelled.

"What I'm listening."

"It's hot in Texas my ass. Who is that in your background." 

"I'll introduce y'all to him when I come to the shop today but I have to go."

"Alright Bey but forreal I'm booked up for the rest of the day so if you want to come in come before 11:30."

"Ok. I'll be there in a few."

"Alright Bey we'll see you later."

"Ok"

I hung up the phone and saw Shawn already eating.

"Where's mine?"

He past me a tray of food.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

"So Shawn what do you think about visiting my family today?"

"I'm up for anything."

"Good because I have to get my hair done today. Thanks to you I sweated it out last night."

"You're welcome."

I laughed. "Shut up. But seriously Shawn how are feeling I know today's the day that Vanessa died."

"I'm doing alright, for some reason I'm not as sad as I would usually be around this time."

I smiled. "You're welcome."

He laughed. "So what time is your hair appointment?"

"Like now. But my cousin is doing it at his shop for free as long as I get there before 11:30." 

"Oh.ok"

"Shawn what do you think about telling Xavier about us."

"What?"

"Shawn I'm just saying he's coming here with Kelly and we are going to run into each other sooner or later and I don't want this to turn out bad."

"Beyonce we'll tell him at the right time."

"And when will that be?"

"Not the day of his mother's death."

"I know I'm not talking about today but we need to do it soon."
