Chapter 26

Ashanti

Yesterday was great because we had some fun time on our hands but today is work day, Marquez has to go to the restaurant early to get the shipping that he needs, I get up, and make cereal for my little man, Marquez is sleep so I make pancakes, and scrambled eggs. Tae is eating his cereal while I finish making Marquez's breakfast, both Marquez, and Tae are getting attached to each other which I thought Marquez would leave when I lied to him about Tae being my son but he embrace Tae, they have fun together whenever they go somewhere because Marquez love him like that. Marquez come down the stairs fast like there was a fire then he says "What up Tae? You ready for school today?" "Yes sir, ready for school" he laughs then Marquez hug him, I come out the kitchen with Marquez breakfast, and mine Tae drink his milk then run upstairs to brush his teeth while babe and I eat our breakfast, "I'm going to the restaurant to get the inventory that we need then I will be in the office later on babe, um tomorrow, I will pick Tae up after school then we will go to the Disney on ice so he can see the characters" he told me. I love this man for things like this, sometimes he will pick Tae up, and they have an adventure because Marquez taking him to places that will give him memories of what he saw like the wrestling event when he saw the wrestlers, and he got the wrestlers autographs before the show. Marquez, and I finish our breakfast, when Tae walks down the stairs he had his clothes on, his book bag on his shoulders ready to go, Marquez, and I take Tae to school. On our way to the school, we stop to at dunkin' donuts to get some coffee for us, and donuts for all of us, I pay for the donuts, and coffee, we get back in the car, and drive Tae to school. He ate his donut while we drive to the school, he ate his donut real fast that boy eats to fast, I drink my coffee, mmmmm this mocha latte taste good that I feel like I'm on cloud 9 then I see Marquez drinking his coffee then put it down and stay focus on the road. It looks like something is getting to him so I said "Baby you okay?" "Yeah I'm just fine baby, how is your coffee?" "it's good daddy, wanna taste it?" I ask him he put his hand out, I let him get some and he smile then says "Damn it is good, they can make some good mocha lattes but not better than Starbucks though." "Oh hell nah you didn't, talking about my dunkin' donuts can't make mocha lattes better than Starbucks, but they do a good job so it's debatable babe" I laugh at him.

We reach Tae's school, he hopped out the car, close the door, and ran to the door, damn this is the first time I've seen him run to the door like he is running for the track team. "Alright uhh, that's  is the first time that I've seen him do that" Marquez says laughing at my shocked expression. "We really need to put that boy in a sport like football, track, field, basketball, or even baseball because he can run his ass off" I take a sip of my mocha latte, Marquez drive to the restaurant without taking me home but I'm cool with riding to the restaurant with Marquez. "So baby, I want you to see what I do before work so when I'm not here and you have to manage the restaurant, you will know what to do with the other people will help you" he tells me. "Okay daddy, but what's the orders for today because we are almost out of strawberries for the strawberry shortcake, lemons for water, steaks, pork chops, chicken patties, burger patties, and chicken filets" I tell him as a reminder of what I saw yesterday on the list of things that we need. "Well damn, you must have been reading the list of the stuff or you saw that yesterday?" I went in the freezer yesterday doing inventory, I am the one who wrote the list babe" I smile at him, he laugh and shake his head. "I didn't know but you are doing good with working in a restaurant baby. Maybe this will be your restaurant if I ever had to step down and back away because your doing inventory, some of the paperwork, and your helping people out, I am happy that you decide to work with me" "I wouldn't I daddy? working at the strip club was just temporary until I can find a better job so baby when we met I didn't that I was going to be working with you or you having a restaurant, I am happy change jobs to. be with you" I take a sip of my mocha latte. We reach the restaurant parking lot to see that the truck is coming around the corner, We get out the car to get the order right, the truck backs in the man stops at the dock of the restaurant, he get out and walk to us saying "We have everything that you ordered plus I have some extra stuff that no one need but I'll let you see it after you get your orders, who is this Marquez, your girlfriend?" he ask. "Yeah, and my assistant, I had to show her what I do when I'm not here then you will know who will have the orders, and don't try no shit Victor because last time when I had a female do the order, you and her were getting busy in the truck so this is my girl, don't touch, don't say no flirty shit, and don't make no moves, what happened to the last dude who did it right?" he said to him. "Yeah but I wouldn't smash your girl plus that girl and I are still together, we got married a year ago" Victor danced. "I was there and she still works here which y'all better be careful because y'all get busy in the truck, some one is going to get sick with nut on their food and the food inspector will get yo' ass for that" babe says laughing at him. We put everything on the list in the freezer, I have on sweatpants and a sweatshirt so I am warm then Victor says "I have a special things in the truck if you want it" he walks us to the back of the truck with. a empty container, he open it and we see that he has a few slabs of ribs, tilapia, and a mother fucking M16 in his fucking truck. *What the fuck is this in here for? You could get fired for this shit" I told him. "I know but no one knew that I put it in here. I know what you do Marquez but I wanted to see know if you wanted this" he said to babe. "He hesitated for a minute then he says "Wrap it up because I don't want no damn body to see it and I'll take the ribs, and tilapia, come on babe help me with the tilapia and ribs please" he looks at me. Marquez and I put the ribs, and tilapia in the freezer then Victor gives it to babe where the cameras aren't looking then we walk to the car, Victor get in his truck and drive off. He put the M16 in his trunk, I get in the car a little pissed off, he gets in the car putting the key in the ignition, not saying nothing to me. "Babe, what the fuck was Victor talking about when he said he know what you do?" I look at him but he couldn't look at me in the eyes, he put the car in drive then he drive to the house. He didn't answer so I said "Can you answer my question Marquez, what did he mean by that?" "I can't tell you because it's complicated, I told his ass not to bring that shit but he sometimes don't listen. I can't tell you because it's classified for right now, If I really tell you then you will be in danger so babe please, I don't want to talk about it" he said staying focus on the road, and drinking his coffee. "Fuck that, I wanna know what the fuck is going on right now, I don't want any surprises because if I get caught up with this shit, I'm going to shoot you with the M16 so fucking tell me now or I'm going to be a snitch ass bitch and call the call the police" "You fucking wouldn't" he look at me, with my phone in my hand, he stop on a redlight, he look down and said "I'm a spy that's all I'm going to say" I put my phone in my pocket. "For real? am I really a spy too?" I said all excited and shit. "No babe, your not because I have to protect something that is valuable but stop asking me questions about that please babe?" He says nicely. "Okay daddy, I won't ask you a another question because I want to get to the bottom of it but okay Daddy, are we still going to the football game this Sunday?" I ask to forget about him saying that he is a spy but I want to know what the hell is he securing and what is his mission, it's eating me up right now to know what it is, this will be in between him and I, no one else but I will get to the bottom of this no matter what he says, he will have to tell me one of these days. First, he killed Kennontae, hold up was Kennontae a spy too? Too many question are fly in the mind about this but he might have been, this is too much shit to take in. "Yeah babe, we are. Look babe, I don't want you to worry about me being a spy, I'm on a mission but I can't take you that part babe, I love you with all my heart baby, I don't want you to get hurt, or anything. I have to do this so I can know what the hell is going in myself so you are safe with me baby, don't worry about no one killing you because they will have to go through me he tell me holding my hand while we drive home.
