" So what are you doing on Friday" she asked wiggling her eyebrows at me with a big smile.

"No, come on i told you I'm more of a homebody, hold on one second." i said putting the phone down and grabbing the spoon off the counter mixing in the pasta sauce and vegetables that India had just mixed together with the noodles and hot links that had just just finished cooking
"Please, Please ,Please!"
"Mama who's that?" India asked giggling as she stood on her toes trying to see over the counter hearing the twenty-one year old yell over and over again
"Just mommy's new friend Lennox ." I answered her fixing her plate with a small piece of garlic bread and putting it on the table near her seat. "Juice or water?"
" Soda! "
"Juice or water ?" I repeated "No Lenn you can't threaten me into coming to your party!"
(She was still yelling in the back about how if I didn't show up she would die, which I thought was pretty dramatic.)
"Juice please." India replied sitting back in her chair.
"OK! Fine Lennox, I'll come to the party stop yelling at me!" I shouted making her stop shouting and look at me with wide eyes. , "now i will call you tomorrow i have to feed indie then put her to bed see you for training in the AM byyyyyeeeeee." I finished before hanging up completely with a grin.
"Can i say grace mommy"
"Of course you can sweetie."

"All ready and warm? " i said once i finished getting India ready for bed after her bath
" Yes mama. I love you." she said touching my hair something she did when she was tired
"I love you too bug. Goodnight baby." I whispered kissing her forehead and walking out turning off her light,
Finally making my way to my room stripping out my clothes and putting on my robe before washing my face and doing my skin care routine then braiding down my hair and wrapping it so that i could step into the shower ,softly playing music thinking about V again something that had been occurring all day. Don't judge it just been awhile since I've gotten male attention, and damn was he cute. Stupid me thinking that with my luck that somehow someway we would be put us together again after the first time was miracle enough and i already blew that by hitting his car.
Getting out of the shower drying off and putting on lotion, i slowly get dressed feeling the sleep taking over as i laid down under my blankets and closing my eyes.
Maybe I'm being crazy , maybe my luck will turn around.

"Mama hurry up we're late."
"I know that little girl, that's what I've been telling you for the past ten minutes." I replied putting her backpack on her back and shooing her to the door.
Grabbing her lunch and my slides I locked the door before running downstairs to strap her into the car and driving off. Good thing she ate a bowl of oatmeal before we left cause I couldn't do another McDonald's incident today.
"Good luck at school baby girl." I told her putting her small backpack into her cubby and holding my finger towards her and fixing her hair at the top.
"Ky!, Love you too mama I'll see you later" she yelled before matching my actions and running away to sit by her new friend who looks familiar but that's probably because she's in my daughters class though huh, I don't know a lot of the kids we're usually late in the morning but I'm always on time after school.
I got in the car going back towards the house to put on my uniform for work and calling Lennox hooking up my phone to the speaker.
"Helloooooooooooooo."
"So i think that you should let me rain check on this party, but that's just me." I said speaking fast hoping that she would agree before hearing me fully.
"Why don't you wanna come it'll be fun."
"I don't have a babysitter."
"Bring her, i wanna meet her plus Ky is gonna be there with some of her cousins anyway I'm sure she'll have fun."
"I won't know anybody."
"And I'll be there with some of DJ's fine ass friends I might add."
"People are not my strong suit!"
" Your cute, funny, and my new friend people are going to love you."
"But what about-"
"Come meet my stepbabies daddy Simone!"
"Fine I'll be there."
"See D, I fucking told you i could get her to come." she shouted
"Yeah, i also heard you tell her you think my friends is fine." A voice responded back
"Oh girl I gotta go, I'll see you at work in 45." she whispered before hanging up the phone.
I threw my head back into the seat throwing the phone down. What did I get myself into.
