I was staring into space. I kept thinking about Travan, and his fiancé. I wondered if he loved me still. I wanted him, but he didn't deserved me. I had put up with the bruises enough! I found myself into deep thought until my phone began ringing.

Ali - Hello?

?? - Hello, is this Ali?

Ali - Yea, who is this?

?? - It's Malaysia, I got your number from chief.

Ali - Oh, hey Wassuh?

Malaysia - I wanted to see if you wanted to join me at my house for my engagement party.

Ali - Girl, of course I'll go!

Malaysia - One more thing though!

Ali - What is it?

Malaysia - Quan and his entourage might go.

Ali - I'm cool with it.

Malaysia - You sure?

Ali - Yea, im sure. There's nothing to be said between me and him.

Malaysia - Well okay, I'll send you the information through email.

Ali - Alright

Malaysia - Bye.

Ali - Bye.

The first thought that came to mind was I need to go shopping! Time to bug Denise!

Ali - Damn can she pick up the phone!

Denise - Hello?

Ali - What took you so long?

Denise - I'm kinda busy right now!

Ali - Eww, but I wanted to tell you at 5:00 we are going shopping!

Denise - Sorry, can't make it! I gotta go!

She hangs up the phone.

Ali - Well damn, ol boy got her!

I walk upstairs to Demetrius room. I see Keelan, Emanuel, and him spread out on the floor sleep. The funny thing was Demetrius hated Quan, but loved Emanuel as his own full blooded brother. I went inside his room and picked up Emanuel.

Emanuel - Mommy!

Ali - Shhh! Your brother and cousin sleep!

Emanuel - Ok

Ali - Go in your room and change into some play clothes.

Emanuel - Where we going?

Ali - Shopping, and we can go to the park if you hurry up!

Emanuel - Yay!

...

Emanuel - I'm done!

Ali - Get in the high chair

Emanuel - Daddy!!!!

He began to run towards the door! Ugh I thought Quan was at work.

Quan - Hey lil man, what you got going on?

Emanuel - I'm going shopping with mommy and then we might go to the park, wanna come?

Quan looked at me.

Ali - I think Daddy has to go to work.

Emanuel - Noooo! Last time you said he was at work, he was gone for a long time.

Quan - You ain't gotta worry about that  Ima start spending more time with y'all again.

He looks at me.
