"How was the Doctor appointment yesterday?"

"It went well, they are taking a few test next week when I go back there."

"Ok, I can take you to that one if you want me to."

Mama smiled.

"No, I'll leave it to Dray taking me. He still needs to make up all the time he's missed being gone in New York."

I laughed. "Ok."

"Why don't you ever talk to that boy? Ever since he's moved here I ain't seen y'all together and whenever I see him he claims you don't want to talk to him. During Christmas y'all didn't talk, Easter, nor Thanksgiving."

"Mama I don't want to get into it right now. Just know we meeting up this Friday to talk things out."

"Ok Mayora, you sure you alright though?"

"I'm good."

"Ok, well when you leaving my house?"

I smacked my lips. "Fine, I guess I'll leave." I grabbed my purse.

"Girl you know I'm just playing with you!" She laughed. "Make sure you bring Craig over this Sunday for dinner. Everyone gonna be here."

I frowned. Craig and Dray in the same room? That sounds like a disaster. I can already see bad things happening.

"Uh ok mama, I'll see you Sunday."

"Ok baby, I love you."

"I love you too." I walked out the house, holding onto my coat.

The cold air blew in my face causing me to cry inside. It was so cold today, it's not this cold in February.

I got into my car immediately putting on the heat. I got onto the highway and headed to my house.

I decided I needed to stop at Target, to pick up some house supplies and I need a new charger. I parked in an empty spot, and got out.

I walked inside grabbing a cart pushing it through the home supplies stuff. I grabbed some disinfecting wipes, windex, and laundry detergent.

My cart bumped into someone else's cart as I wasn't looking the right way.

"Oh- I'm sorry." I looked and it was Dezy.

"Hi Mayora ."

"Hey."

I haven't seen her since the last time we ran into each other.

"How funny is it that we bump into each other again?" She laughed.

"Yea." I faked a laugh.

"So, how have you been?"

"I've been great, you?"

"I just recently got engaged."

Bitch I don't care.

"Awe really? That's nice."

"Yea, but I'm here with my brother. He's around here somewhere."

My heart dropped. I needed to leave now.

"Oh ok, well I'll see you some other time."

"Oh ok. Nice seeing you Mayora."

"Same to you."

I turned my cart around going around the corner, making my cart go right into Quan's stomach.

"Oh fuck." He held his stomach.
