I was woken up by my alarm. I got up and turned it off then picked out my work clothes . which was a black shirt and some camafloug pants . my manager told me that the cashiers could were regular clothes but we have to were our work hat.

I got my clothes and went in the bathroom to take a wash up . when I came out terrence was still asleep so I checked my phone I was strolling down Facebook and when I looked up terrence was staring dead at me. "Who you texting "he asked. I look at him like he was crazy. " well good morning to yo Ugly ass to"I said smirking and he snatched my phone. "ain't nun for you to see I only talk to you and Mary" I told him trying to yank my phone."Nope you not getting it back"he said."Cmon terrence I don't have time to play, I gotta go to work I said ". He looked at me and shook his head. "Cry baby"he said smiling and picking with me." Shu-" I was finna say until he cut me off. "Say it I want you to, just go ahead and say it so you can see what you get" terrence said. I looked at him and rolled my eyes."wateva terrence ain't nobody got time for that" I said walking away . I went to get my jacket from my bag. I picked up my charger and terrence looked at me. I looked at the ceiling then looked back at him with a raised eye brow."got some you wanna say "I asked him. He just sat there and looked at me for awhile."I'm sorry baby" he said . "I accept your apology now can I have my phone back"I asked him. "Here" he said handing me my phone. " thank you" I said smiling.
He walked me to work and I peck his lips . "I call you on my break and let you know what time I get off " I told him while hugging him."OK he said" I walked in side the building and went to the mangers office. "Hey am I late " I asked her softly. "No your not late your right on time" she said. I smiled and just waited for directions . "OK taraji you will be a cashier, meaning that you will take their orders on this screen and they will pop up for the others can cook it then you make sure eve things in the bag before you give it to them OK" she said. I smiled slightly."OK I said. I started and I was on the first costumer that I took her order and then she paid and I gave her her food I just did the same thing until it got to the last costumerband then my shift was over I work from 7:00 a.m to 5:30 p.m on weekends and on school days I work from 4:00 p.m to 7:30 p.m kinda weired but they said it has to be like that when you go to school I had forgot, to call terrence on my break, and he might be mad at me when he walk up here to get me I swear we really need a car but first we need to get a house because I can't keep living in that old church it creaps me out.

He asked I just looked at him and busted out laughing."what's so funny he asked getting angry" I was laughing so hard tears was coming out of my eyes."Nothing I'm just tryna find out who tf you think you talking to " I said to him. He look at me and grabbed my hand."Come let's go home I need you to help me grow this weed so I can sell it"he said . wth I thought, "why won't you just wait until we get our apartment to sell weed because I will not allow you to sell it at that church nor grow it" I said rolling my eyes at him. "Baby I'm tryna make money , I wanna help you get the apartment" he said. "Ughh terrence look I get paid every Friday we will have the money to get that apartment and I get paid $85 every week we have nothing to worry about in two weeks we could just put money down on a $130 apartment OK" I told him. He look at me sad. "OK fine but I'm giving you the money back when I start selling."OK let's go"I said. We started back walking and made it to the church. I went to my bag and got some more pajamas out then went to take a wash up, I cane out at sat down. "I'm so glad god blessed me with this job'. I said smiling at Terrence he gave me a smile back. "I'm happy to baby" he said . I got up and got the bag of weed .terrence borrowed from one of his friends from school but it was only twenty dollars all we got to do is get a flower pot and take the seeds out and grow our own so that terrence dont Have to be drug dealing and getting into gangs because I can't lose him he's the only family I got. We put the weed seeds in the flower pot. And then the stuff to make it grow then we put water in it. We was done and terrence was rolling a blunt.

I said to him and he caught and attitude."ughh omg baby walk around the neighborhood with me and smoke.I looked at like he was crazy."didn't I say wait for the apartment"he was getting irritated so he just sat down . I sat down next to him, then all of a sudden I felt nauseous, I got up and ran to the bathroom to throw up, its wasn't food it was water and blood."damn baby you ok" terrence said running in the bathroom.I just kept throwing it up then it stopped and I wash my mouth out."baby are you OK"terrence asked again. I just went in the room and laid down."terrence I'm hungry" I told him. He was just pacing back and forth across the floor." Baby when was the last time you ate something"he asked me. I turned over to think. "The last time I ate something was Thursday and today is Saturday ". he looked at me angry. "We gotta hurry up and get that apartment because I refuse to let you sit up here and die of starvation". he just kissed me and held me tight."you all I got"he told me.
