"Jojo. You ready to go see nana and papa? " I asked him from the kitchen. He didn't answer . "Jojo?" Again he didn't answer . I ran to his room and seen him laying on the floor with a bullet in his head . "Oh . Oh my god . Oh no . no no no no no no no no no ! " I cried . " Wake up , Jojo. Baby wake up! "

"Wake up !"

"Wake up !"

"Wake up , Tori! " Mya shouted . I was sweating like a dog and Mya was in front of my face .

"You were sleep talking. Talm' bout 'Wake up baby ' "  She laughed . "Mya.. That's not funny . "

"That is funny ! Who yo baby, Tori? Huuuuuh? " She teased .

"Stop... It's not funny. I had a dreamed about Jordan... And he was shot."

"Oh shit, that's nothing to play around with. My bad , babes. " Mya said .

"It's cool .. Is he still asleep?" I asked .

"No , he's up. He's eating breakfast at my house with Mark and Rae. "

"Can you go get him? I need to see him..."

She texted Mark I guess and my baby boy walked through the door and ran into my arms . " Oooooh. My baby booy. I just wanted to tell you , Mommy loves you ." I smiled .

He got on my bed and crawled into my arms and I guess he was sleepy because he went right asleep.

"Aww.. "

"Well, Tooori! I've got some good news for you. " Mya whispered .

"Oh god . " I sighed , laying Jordan down and walking in the bathroom to change .

"What is it? " I added .

"Mark and I are going out to eat . I want you to come along. That's al-"

"Okay. I'll go to dinner with you and Mark . "

"...... Foreal? "

I laughed at her and came out the bathroom dressed  ," Yeah. But this is what I'm wearing . "

Mya sighed, "Okay. As long as you're coming."

" But I've got even more bigger news for you . As the most marvelous assistant , I thought you should have a bigger office . They're renovating it so your first day is cancelled . It will resume in a couple days."

"Whaaaaat? You always hook me up , thanks Mya. I really appreciate it " I smiled big .

I walked and sat at the table with Marquise and Mya .Then a girl walked in and sat down She was kind of short , she had long hair and some sexy curves . But wait a minute. where is my head at right now? I'm with Alexis .

"Good ! I thought you weren't going to show up . Oh yea, Bryce this is Tori. Tori, Bryce."

"Hey Tori." I smiled.

"Wessup." She said bluntly.

Dinner was cool. Mya talked a lot about life and environmental shit . Lots of music . We basically was chillin. It was getting boring seeing Mark & Mya get all lovey dovey& shit so I asked Tori some questions .

"Soooo.. Tori, What do you do?" I asked.

"I'm a stylist.And I just got my new job working for Mya."

"Oh, word? That's wassup. Who you be stylin'?"I asked.

"Ne-yo. Drake. Future. Eric Bellinger. Ect. " She said bluntly.

"Aren't you gonna ask what I do?"

She sat up and sighed , "What do you do Bryce?"

"I work at Foot Locker. Mainly trying to focus on some extra cash and college ball. "

She laughed ,"So you are in school?"

"Yes? Surprising?" I asked her , sitting up.

"Yeah. Actually it is." She confessed.

"Why is that?" I asked. "43.14% of Americans don't go to college. " She said. I laughed , "Well you sure do your research. " She did a little fake laugh and continued to eat her food. I laughed and kept staring at her. I don't know what I was thinking but she was beautiful. Beyond beautiful. "What are you staring at? "

"You."

She scoffed and kept eating.

"Looks , like you two have been getting along pretty well. . ." Mya smiled.

Tori rolled her eyes and looked at Mya evilly . Mya laughed at her and went on talking. Tori's phone was ringing, I guess she had an emergent phone call because she got up quickly and started getting her purse while I took a sip of my drink . "Mya , I'm sorry. It's late and I have to go pick up my son fro--"

"SON?!Woooooaaaah. " I spat out . spilling my drink a bit.

She scoffed and looked at me. "Yes, SON. You , dick. "

"Do you need a ride , hun?" Mya asked.

"No . Enjoy your evening. " She smiled.

I felt kind of bad.

"Bye, Mark, Bye Mya."

I got up quickly and ran after her, I grabbed her arm and made her turn my way . "What the hell do you want?"

"I--I'm sorry if I came off rude. It was just kind of shocking. " She laughed at me . "Are you done? I have to get my kid. "

"Let--Let me give you a ride. Come on , It's freezing out there. " She hesitated but nodded. "Where is your car?"

I smiled, "Black Rover."

I walked her to my car and she hopped in the front seat. "Where do you live ?"

"Boy , please. I don't need you stalking me. I'll give you directions."

I laughed at her, this girl was hilarious.

"So how old are you?" I asked her. She sighed , "21. "

"Oh, that's cool. My birthday just passed. 23. "

She laughed , "Good to know."

"Make a right. And keep going straight." She told me ,

"So , how old is your son?"

"Two. Wessup with all these damn questions?"

"My bad, T. Just tryna get to know you , lil bit. " I laughed.

She sighed, "Jordan. He's two. "

"That's cool . You new out here?" I asked her .

"What do I have to do to get you to stop asking me so many questions?"

"Give me your number." I smiled.

She scoffed. "Hell no ."

"Fine , Fine. Hey , do you like frozen yogurt? I kn---"

"FINE. 720-562-0920 . Enough questions. This is my house. " I stopped the car and parked.

"Nice meeting you , Tori. I'll give you a call. " I smiled.

"Yeah, Yeah... You too, Bryce. Thanks for the ride."
