The sound of heavy rain hitting the window woke me up. I pushed the thick blanket off my body as I climbed out of bed. I changed into a thin pair of black jogger sweat pants and a t-shirt. I pulled my hair into a tight high ponytail and grabbed my hoodie.
I made my way down the stairs picking up my car keys and cell phone off the coffee table. I locked the door behind me and got into my car. I plugged my phone up and put on the song Anthony sang to me at his show case.
••••
I walked around the super market bumping things into the shopping cart a my phone began to ring. I slid the green bar and placed the phone to my ear as Anthony began to speak.
"Baybeh?"
"Yes Babe?"
"Where you at?"
"I'm at the supermarket do you want anything while I'm here?"
"Get some crawfish and shrimps."
"Alright is that all you want?"
"For now but can you pick me up some Popeyes on your way home?"
"Sure are you getting off work early ?"
"yeah Im on my way to mama's but I'm sure you should still be home before me."
•••• After paying for the food and picking up Anthony's Popeyes. I drove down the highway going slower than my normal speed since it's still raining really hard. I pulled into our drive way and shut the car off. After carrying a the bags in the house I made my way into the kitchen to get dinner started.

After checking up on my mama I drove. I got into my car and started it up as I pulled into the main road. K. Camp Comfortable filled the car as the sound of hard pouring down rain bounced off the too of my car. This rain shit is starting to piss me off. It's has been raining none stop for the last 3 days and to top it off where on a hurricane watch.
I pulled into the driveway on the house and shut the car off. I gathered my things and pulled my hoodie over my head before stepping out of the car. I partially ran up the stone path that LR to our house and unlocked the door. I stepped inside removing my wet clothes and dirty shoes before tossing my work onto the coffee table. I made my way up the stairs to the bathroom I need to take a shower. I smell like outside thanks to this damn rain.
•••• I changed into a pair of gray sweatpants and some socks. I grabbed my phone before making my way down the stairs. The aroma of garlic mash potatoes and other foods filled the air as I walked into the kitchen. I sat down at the island and watched Lyric as she sang and danced to K. Camp Money Baby.
"Lyr ?"I simi yelled causing her to jump
"Damn it ant you scared me, what do you want?" Lyric said holding her chest
"Sorry Baybeh but you was in ya own zone but what chu cooking?"
"Food now get out of here before I hurt you." Lyric said turning her attention back towards the food.
I laughed at her and sat back as I waited for the food to be finished.

After eating such a big meal, Lyric and I sat in the living room watching television and listening to the sound of thunder rip through the night sky. Half way though our show it got cut of with a important weather up day.
** Residents of New Orleans we just received new that Hurricane Liz Taylor is making her way here. With that being said everyone sat in your house and just pray that you house survives this horrible weather we are bout to receive. **
I stared at Lyric slightly scared. I've never experienced any type of bad weather. I inhaled a deep breathe of air before checking all of the windows and doors.
••••
It's was now 10 o'clock PM as Lyric and I sat in the Lyric just listing to the sounds from outside. The quietness of the house was soon replaced with loud crazy roars of thunder and the sound if someone knocking on the front door. I stood up ready to answer the door when Lyric stopped me.
"Babe I got it." Lyric said getting up and walking out of the living room
Lyric Robinson
I made my way towards the front door wonder ugly who would be outside. I looked through the peep whole slightly surprised to see Dr. O'shea James at the door. I opened the door and stood there looking at dr. James and this guy who looked just like roman. No this can't be happening again I already ran into him once why is he any my front door.
"ANTHONY!" I yelled out never taking my eyes of this guy
