Chris POV:

I woke up to the smell of bacon roaming through my house. I rolled over to check the time on my phone which read 10:38am. I scrolled through the notifications I had gotten through the night. Some were from Instagram, I got a couple messages on Snapchat and some text messages.

Mike: you tryna ball today or what?  

Shanice: i miss u papi

Shanice: when can i see u?

Shanice: Attachment: 3 images, 1 video

Shanice: are u ignoring me for that bitch?

I shook my head after reading her messages. This girl was sprung like I was her boyfriend or some shit. I went to my email since I noticed I had 2 notifications when I usually clear them all. I hate seeing all of the notifications and numbers from my email. As soon as I opened the app, my eyes lit up. I had gotten an email back in regards to this project I was working on. I was really into photography so I had paired with a young fashion designer by the name of Janae. She had seen my work and was interested in working with me. I was happy as hell, I couldn't hold it in.

"Let's fuckin go, man!" I yelled before covering my mouth. I had forgotten the kids were here and I wasn't sure if they were sleeping still or not. I threw on some basketball shorts before entering the kitchen. Kayani was sitting at the counter eating her food with her curly hair in a messy bun and the kids were sitting in the living room, eating and watching some show on Nickelodeon. 

"Hello there sir." she said with a smile which made me smile. "I hope you don't mind I started cooking. The kids and I woke up early and they were hungry so I figured I whip something up before leaving. Your plate is in the microwave."

"Damn shorty, it smells good as hell. Thanks ma." I walked over to the microwave to warm up my plate and start eating. "Shit girl. This is some good ass food. Keep this up, I might have you over here everyday." I said scooping a forkful of food into my mouth. 

"I basically am already." she said, hopping off of her seat to clean her plate.

"Nah, I got the dishes. You've done enough." I said, stopping her from washing her plate. 

"Oh, okay." she shrugged. "So what made you scream so loud this morning?"

"Oh yeah!" I nearly forgot to tell her about the great news. "So you remember I told you how I loved photography and shit like that, right?" 

"Yeah." she replied.

"Well, this fashion designer named Janae is interested in working with me. I've been trying to link with her for the longest. She's so dope." I took out my phone and handed it to her so she could see some of Janae's clothes.

"Wow, she's amazing. And she's gorgeous." she said scrolling through Janae's page. "I'm so happy for you! You deserve it. You're an amazing person and an amazing photographer." she stood up and hugged me. 

"Thank you shorty. That means a lot." I said, hugging her back.

After we all had finished eating, Kayani decided to head out so she could shower at home. I tried to convince her to shower here but she wasn't having it. I just really enjoyed her company. 

"Chris I don't even have any clothes over here. Besides I'm going shopping again with Sierra today to find an outfit for my date with Xavier." 

I rolled my eyes at the sound of his name. Something was off to me about dude. "You sure you wanna go out with that nigga, man?"
