"Mark. I need help with these dishes ! " I shouted out to my husband. Yes, we are very young to be married . But I'm mature , so is he . "Mommy , can we have pasta?" My babygirl , Raelyn said . I sighed , smiled and squared down . " Yes , in a minute . Go get daddy for me , okay ? " She nodded and ran off . I finished the dishes and began to set the table for our guest. "What's going on ?  There's only 3 of us. Why the two extra plates ? " Marquise asked . I huffed & put my hair behind my ear. "I told you that new girl and her son is coming over for dinner. You don't be listening to the things I tell you. "

"My baaaad, boo .. I'm sorry . " He smiled at me and kissed my lips. "What's her name ? " He asked.

"Tori. Her son name is Jordan." I said , looking up at him.

"Cool, Cool. I'll make the plates ."

|Tori|

Mya & her family invited Jordan & I for dinner . I was kind of excited but not really because I barely know these people. I walked up to her doorstep and she opened the door right away. "Mommy Mommy!" a little girl cheered. I smiled and there was a little lightskinned girl with long dark brown hair with a pink onesie on. Jordan grabbed my leg and held on to it . "Heey Pretty ," I squatted down , " You must be Raelyn . I'm Tori." She smiled at me and looked at Jordan . "And thiiissss is Jordan . You can call him JoJo. Jojo , this is Raelyn. Say hi."

"Hi Raelyn..." He said quietly .

"Hi JoJo.."

"Aww. Too cute. Hey Tori, how you been? " Mya smiled , welcoming us into the dining room .

"I'm good . Still settling into my house . This part of town is cold as hell !" I laughed.

"Ooooh , these must be our guest ! Hey, How are you? I'm Marquise . You can call me Mark."

I stood up and shook his hand . " I'm Tori. That's my son , Jordan."

"Well , Tori . Tell us more about you." Mya smiled , putting my plate on the table .

Dinner was great. We talked about almost everything . I felt like Jordan made a friend and so did I. They were really good people . I could tell I could trust them . Mya and I had become stronger friends over the months . I felt as if we had a cool connection . Once I had settled in my place she came over more often . Her and Raelyn .

It was nice to know I could depend on someone .
