Chris POV
I walked into the house and then pulled my shirt over my head. I threw my shirt off to the side where most of my clothes already were. I sighed and then decided to get in the shower. But not before Chris thought it was lovely to start crying. Royalty ran into my room.
"Daddy, Chris is crying." she said.
"Thank you baby." I said. I followed her out of my room into Chris's room. He was laying on his back. I leaned over his crib and looked at him. He stopped crying and smiled. "Oh, Chris thinks he's slick. Crying just so he can see his Daddy." I said picking him u. He smiled again. Showing his gums.
"Daddy, can I hold him?" Royalty asked. I looked down at her.
"Giiirl if you don't go sit ya little self down talking bout holding Chris. YOU almost the same size as him." I said. She smiled and then laughed.
"Daddy, you're crazy."
"No you're crazy." I said pinching her cheek.
"Chris, what are you doing?" my mother asked coming into the room. She grabbed Chris from me and stared at me. "Why aren't you getting ready for this lunch?" she asked.
"Well, Chris started crying and Ro, came into my room talking about it and you weren't there so I decided to get him."
"Get ready child. We have less than an hour to get there."
'Ain't my fault." I said walking towards my room. "We should've stayed at your apartment and I could've took a shower there which would have saved more time."
"Whatever Christopher. Just get ready." she said from Chris's room. I smiled and then went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I stood outside for a second and then took off my pants and boxers and then got in. I let the mildly hot water hit my body. I stood there under the water for about 10 minutes. I washed up afterwards and then got out. I had to be fresh for Ri- er I mean myself.
I got dressed and then walked downstairs' My mother was sitting on the couch with Chris in his carseat and Royalty standing in front of her. She looked up at me.
"Finally. Come Chris. Stop playing and let's go. You ready or not?"
"Yes. I'm ready." I said.
We got in the car. I got into the driver's seat and then drove to apparently Rita's favorite restaurant. I mean, I never heard of this restaurant before. She never talked about it. But, she did keep secrets from me before.
I pulled into the parking lot of Valentino's. I looked around and then I saw Rita's mother's car pull into the parking lot. They parked in the spot next to mine. Rita's mother got out. My mother did the came.
"Oh my gosh Joyce. You look beautiful.' Rita's mother, Vera, said.
"thank you. You look beautiful as well Vera. What are you wearing? Vera Wang?" she asked. Vera laughed.
"No. I wish. Rita would never spend any money like that on me." they hugged.
"So, I'm going to get the kids out."
"Right. I'll get Rita."
"You act like we can't hear you." Rita said. She looked at me. And smiled. "Hi Chris."
"Hey." I said. I got out and opened her door. she got out and smiled.
"Thanks." she said.
"Ritaaaa!" Royalty said from inside my car.
"Is that my Roro?" Rita asked opening the car door. "Royalty." she said.
"Rita." They hugged.
"I missed you." Rita said looking at her.
"Me too." she said smiling.
