Chapter 2

Saturday.

Isha's phone alarm begins to ring, disturbing her Saturday morning sleep. "Damnit! I forgot to turn you off." She groans angrily.

Isha tossed and turned trying to fall back asleep, but she failed terribly. She finally decided she'll get up and get dressed. Once Isha was clean and dressed she settled for an apple and grabbed her car keys. "King!" She calls loudly.

King comes running and they both head out the house into the garage. She lets King into the car from the drivers side, he jumps into the passenger and wait for her to get in.

"You hungry boy?" She ask biting her apple. Once Isha buckled herself into her seat, she bagged out the automatic garage and headed to McDonalds for King. He loves their breakfast foods.

Yes! She treats King to McDonalds. Yes! We know it's not good for him, but a lot of things we do ain't good for us either.

The apple's juice dripped down onto Isha's chin. She briefly remove her hand from the steering wheel and wipe her chin before regaining control of her car.

"Hi welcome to McDonalds how may I help you?" The lady through the speaker says.

"Good morning, I'll take a small French vanilla flavored coffee and two hash browns and a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant." Isha responds.

"Okay your total is —-, pull around to the first window to pay ma'am." The lady responds.

"Thank you!" Isha exclaim and pull around.

"King want to see grandma and grandpa?" She ask him. He just looks at her and his eyes light up. Isha and King have a deep connection because he's been there for her when she was near death.

A few years back, Isha's old house got broken into. The door was locked down and Isha was beaten badly by the burglars. A random dog ran into her house and literally put 253 stitches in whoever the man was. Isha had never seen a dog like King in person, in fact she couldn't even afford one at that time. King and her was destined to meet and she had a purpose in his life as he did hers.

King was a homeless abused dog, she fought for 3 months to get him away from her neighbors across the street from her. Finally she won, and King has been with her ever since.

"Ma'am?" The lady at the window speaks softly.

"Oh shoot! Sorry." Isha laughs nervously.

"It's okay, I understand it's morning." She smiles at Isha. Isha gathers her money into her hands before passing it to the lady with a $20 tip in it.

"You gave me too much ma'am." She informs Isha.

"That's your tip, and keep the change." Isha smile at the girl.

"Oh my! Thank you." She smiles and Isha smile back before taking her receipt and pulling up to the second window.

After Isha got all of King's food and her coffee she sat it in the back seat and her coffee in the cup holder. King was whimpering because he wanted his food right away.

"King no baby, you know the routine. No eating in the car." She point at him. He huffs and look out the window. Isha huffs back at him and roll the windows down.

Isha pulled up to her parent's house 20 minutes later. Once she has everything in her hands King and her get out the car and head for the front door. Isha uses her key and walks into the house with King not too far behind.

"Mama, dad!" Isha y'all as she struggle to lock the door because of the food in her hands.

"Look Who finally decides to stop by." Isha's dad, Charles come from the living room with a small clear glass of Hennessy.

"Hey daddy." Isha smiles.

"Hey baby girl." He kiss her forehead and hug her close. "Is that my King?" He exclaim.

King starts jumping and barking, "Come on boy lets go and see tour girlfriend." Charles take King breakfast from Isha's hands and him and King walk towards the backyard door.

"Where's Mama?" Isha quickly asks her dad.

"Oh she's in the kitchen preparing the food for lunch." He says before leaving out the house.

"Hey Mama." Isha says, then she takes a small sip of her coffee.

"Hey Baby." Isha's mom, Tara smiles. Tara and Isha talked for hours than the doorbell rang.

"Oh! I sure forgot he was coming over!" Tara exclaim as she hurriedly walks towards the door. Isha hear her mom talking to some man with a very deep voice. Soon, the two walked back into the kitchen and the man was holding a very large cake.

"Just sit it right over there baby." Tara sighs with her hands on her hips.

"No problem." He walks to the counter and places the cake on top of it.

"Oh deer where are my manners!" Tara exclaims. "Zavier meet my daughter Isha, Isha this is Zavier my neighbor's grandson." She introduce the two.

The smile and greet one another. "Give me a second you may as well take this back to your grandma. She left it here yesterday." Tara says as she exit the kitchen.

Isha tap her manicured nails against the marble island in the kitchen. "Nice nails." Zavier comments.

"Thanks." She nod and her phone vibrates. Isha looks down at her phone and realize it's just a YouTube notification.

"So what do you do for a living?" He try to make conversation with this beautiful woman but she seem so stubborn.

"I am a Proof reader for the company, Atlanta News." Isha answers and trail off for a second before saying, "What do you do?"

"I am a Dentist." He responds proudly.

"That's great, how does it feel to look at people nasty teeth everyday?" Isha jokes.

"Uh, it doesn't bother me much. I literally love every part of my career." He says.

"That's a great thing." Isha nod.

Tara came back with a jacket and a scarf, "Tell her to stop leaving stuff." Tara jokes.

Zavier chuckles along with Tara, "I will tell her. You ladies have a nice day." He say before showing himself to the door

"That's a fine man, please tell me you got his number?" Tara ask her daughter.

"No mama, I don't have time for relationships." Isha shrug.

"You don't have to be in a relationship with him! You could've just had someone to go
out with." Tara exclaim.

"Mama, noooo." Isha shake her head.

"Ugh whatever." Tara wave her hand at Isha and finish the food. Isha helped Tara and they talked about everything under the sun.
