How to Heal a Broken Heart (Explicit Content)

I hear your cries ( Elleah)

" Have fun on your date!" I yelled out to Shanell. I waved bye to her as she drove off with her baby daddy. I don't know when her baby daddy came back in the picture but I agreed to watch Damari for the night. Plus, we had some catching up to do.

" Soooo, What do you wanna do today Damari, I'm all out of ideas?" I asked him as we got into the car.

" Can you take me to get ice cream, pretty pleasssseeeee?" He looked at me with his big puppy dog eyes, poking his lips out.

" Ok, buckle up, Ben and Jerry's it is!"

" Yayyy!!!" Damari cheered and clapped his hands eagerly.

We arrived at the ice cream parlor.

Damari and I walked up to the pretty dark skinned cashier. Her dimples sunk in her cheeks as she smiled at us. She wore her hair in a big round Afro but it didn't take away her beautiful features that appeared on her face.

" Welcome to Ben and Jerry's, can I take your order?" She asked. I looked at her name tag. I don't know why but I like acknowledging people by their name.

" Hi Lysha, how are you?"

" I'm good thank you. How about you ma'am?"

" I'm good also, enjoying this beautiful day." I mention as I looked down at Damari. " What do you want lil man?"

" I want the VerMonsterrrrrr!" Damari flexed his arms as he tried to make a muscle.

" Ummm Damari, I will have to say no on that one, that's 20 scoops of ice cream. It's no way we're eating all of that. How about we get the mini VerMonster and share it. Ok baby." I rubbed his curls.

"Ok." Damari sounded sad as he pouted.

" Well Lysha, we'll have the mini VerMonster."

" Ok, that will be $15.95 and your son look just like you." She complimented me. I got the money out my purse and handed it to her.

" Oh, thank you but he's not my son. I'm his babysitter."

" I'm so sorry ma'am. You know what they say though, if you feed them long enough they'll start looking like you." Lysha giggled while she gave me the ice cream and my change.

" It's ok but you have a nice day Lysha."

" You also."

We sat down at the table and Damari dove his spoon into the sundae. He was stuffing the ice cream in his mouth like he had missed a couple of meals. Damari dropped chocolate all over his shirt from eating so fast.

" Damari slow down before you get a brain freeze!" I warned him as he tried to lick the ice cream off his top lip. I got a napkin and wiped his mouth off. He then started eating fast again.

" Ahhhh!" Damari screamed while holding each side of his head. I started laughing at him.

" See, I told you. I knew you was going to get a brain freeze. Look at you, you waste chocolate all over your shirt too."

" I'm sorry Ms. Elleah, I-I promise I didn't try to." Damari voice trembled, sounding terrified.

" It's ok, Damari. See I waste a little on my dress too. How about I go out and buy you a new shirt? Then after that we can go to the park."

" Yayyy! I wanna go and can we race too?"

I sigh deeply.
" Yes, we can race too."

We left the ice cream parlor and headed to the mall.
