                      Chapter 9

It had been over two years since Zeniya had Kali. Her life was revolved around him. Joe was doing all he could to make sure both of were safe and happy.
Nicole had Kali for the passed weekend. Zeniya rushed out the house and went to work. Joe was out cutting the grass. He watched as she drove off.

Zeniya got to work and clocked in. She cleaned rooms from the time she stepped on the scene. The next morning at dawn, she clocked out. She was so tired, that her feet felt like they were going to break in. She was thankful that she was off the next day so she could sleep. She checked her phone at the light. She had missed calls from Joe and her cousin Nicole. By it being so early in the morning, she txt them and continued her journey on home. She parked her impala in the driveway and headed in the house.

Zeniya started stripping where she was. Letting all of her thickness breathe. She took a sit-down bath and soaked. Some of the soreness left out her body yet alot still remained. When she was done she dried off and headed to bed. Hours on in the morning, Zeniya was awoken by knocking at the door. Then her door bell rung. That could only be one person making a fuss like that, Kali. As she got up she noticed she had no clothes on and the door was being unlocked. Zeniya got her robe as Nicole and Kali came in. Nicole put Kali down. Zeniya tied her robe together with an single knot.

"Mommy"! Kali shouted running in her arms.

"Hey man, how are you"? Zeniya said.

"Good". He answered.

"Was you good for auntie"? Zeniya azked.

Kali nodded his head.

"Goats nods their heads. Are you a goat"? She asked.

"No". Kali answered throwing his head back.

"No, what"?

"No ma'am". Kali said.

Zeniya kissed Kali cheek and put him down.

"Hey lady, Thank you for keeping him". Zeniya said hugging Nicole.

"Anytime girlie, you look busted". Nicole said.

"I know, they worked me like a dog last night. I'm sooo sore". Zeniya said as her attention was directed to the shadow at widely opened door.

Nicole turned around to see a tall (6'4) tanned man with kingly muscles, that were covered in tribal tattoos, jet black caesar cut haircut, his eyes were honey brown hazel, he had a anchor goatee beard to top off his look. Nicole grinned seductively.

"Hey Joe". Zeniya said before being cut off by Kali scream.

"Uncle Joey"! Kali screamed in excitement as Joe bent down and caught Kali in his arms.

"What's up lil man, miss me"? Joe asked with his deep raspy voice.

"So, this is the famous Uncle Joey"? Nicole asked.

"Yup". Kali said.

"Hello ladies". Joe said looking at Zeniya as Nicole noticed.

"We gone talk later. I got to run. Nice meeting Uncle Joey"! Nicole said leaving taking out her phone.

Joe smiled as he closed the door as Kali played with his beard.

"How was work, beautiful"? Joe asked.

"Tiring, like always my feet hurt, my back hurt, my everything hurts. How you doing"? She asked.

"Good, a little sore from work. But, I'm cool". He said.

"Well that's good, you got him. I'mma going back to sleep. Come get me if there's something wrong". Zeniya said as Joe smiled and looked at Kali as he started tickling Kali.

Zyion went back to bed as Joe played with Kali. Nicole drove to work as her phone rung. The the person on the other line picked up.

"Mama, I got tea"! Nicole said.

"About who girl"? The Megara said.

"Our girl, Zeniya. So you know how last night, lil man was saying he can't wait to see Uncle Joey". Nicole said.

"Yea".

"Well, I met Uncle Joey. Let me paint you a picture. He bout 6 feet, Hispanic, eyes are hazel, beard, and built like he lives at the gym. Smile, dont get me started. Also, in love with Zeniya yet she blinded". Nicole said.

"Damn, really. I wonder why she ain't told us. Is that Kali's father"? Megara asked.

"I think so. Kali, looks just like at that man". Nicole said.

"I wonder do the family now about him"? Megara asked.

"Nah, I would be the first one to know. She ain't said nothing". Nicole told her mom.

Back at the house, Kali got hungry and Joe went in the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Kali ate and started back playing. Minutes later, the sweet smell woke up Zeniya. She went in the bathroom and washed up and threw on some sweats and a t-shirt. She went in the kitchen and sat at the island as she laid her eyes on Joe holding Kali.

"What wrong, baby"? Zeniya asked Kali.

"He bumped his head playing". Joe answered for Kali.

"Aww, come here. Let mama kiss it". Zeniya said reaching out for Kali as Joe put him down.
Kali ran over to Zeniya and she picked him up. She kissed his forehead as he laid his head on her big chest.

"All better, baby". Zeniya said as Joe fixed her a plate of food.

"What you cook"?

"Your favorite. Cheesy grits, sausage, scambled eggs, and toast". Joe said sitting the plate down in front of Zeniya.

He waited for her to taste it. Zeniya tried the food and she rolled her eyes at him playfully.

"Why are you doing this to me"? She asked.

"Doing what"? Joe asked.

"Making me fatter".

"What's wrong with having meat on bones"? Joe asked with a smile.

"Nothing, but you see all of this. I got to lose weight". She said in between eating and gripping her fat.

"Why, I like a woman with meat on her bones". Joe said.

"But every other man don't". Zeniya said.

"But, I ain't every other man, Sweetheart". Joe stated.

Zeniya cut her eyes at Joe in a playful way with a smile. Later, Zeniya got dressed and went to the store. She shopped around and noticed she was being watched. She tried not to make a big deal out of it. She went on ignoring the fact. The man who was shamelessly staring came over to her.
