I let Marquez take Tae to school, Tae has been having fun with going to his grandma's house last weekend but I was thinking about taking him to Disney World one day so we can have some fun outside of New Jersey, or maybe do a cruise to take our mind off of to see new things. Marquez didn't come home so I figure that I go to Latrice's condo to talk to my home girl, I text Latrice "Hey girl, are you at home?" I send my message waiting for her reply. I chill in my car for a minute, my phone buzz, I pick up my phone to see it was a message from Trice, her message says "Yeah, I'm home, pull up boo" so I drive to her condo to chill with her today because I don't get to see her, I pull up to her condo, I see her with the door open, I get out my car and run up the stairs to hug her, shit I damn near almost bust my ass running up the stairs, I hug her "Hey girl, how you been doing?" "Shit, I'm good girl, I miss you at the club. How's your job going with Marquez?" she let me in, we go upstairs in her living room. "I miss you too, it's going good so far working at his restaurant because he's teaching me what's it all about in the restaurant scene, if you want to work over there, I can help you get in girl, shoot, I know stripping is fast money but you can change your job if you want to" I suggest to her. "I'm thinking about it because it's not what I want to do with my life so I'm thinking about changing my job, so boo, your brother, and I were thinking about making us official" she smile. "Go head girl, I ain't mad at y'all, he's been trying to pursue yo' ass when we were kids, it's about time" I high five her being happy for her, Rico has been trying to get with her but she never gave him a chance until now years after we are out of school but I'm happy that she is with my brother because he really cares for her alot. "You hungry? thirsty?" she ask me getting up. "Yeah, I'm off today sorry I need to be with my bestie" I smile at her. Latrice isn't going to work today because she is going on a date with Rico so I'm good with that, I got a text message from Marquez saying "Hey baby, I wanted to see if you were okay?" I read his text message. I text back "Yeah, I'm alright, just chillin' with Latrice right now on my day off, what are you doing?" I sent a message. "So how is the baby doing?" Latrice rubs my stomach smiling, I laugh then say "He or she is doing good right now, I am waiting to figure out what the gender will be because I can't wait to see how he or she will be when they get older" I answer her. "Are you, and Rico thinking about having kids in the future?" "Shoot, I want to have a baby or two in the next year or two, Rico have been talking about it but I can't wait until that time comes that I'm pregnant because it will the best part of my life that I get to bring a joyful bundle of happiness into the world" she smiles at me.

After staying with Latrice at her hoise, and us chilling at her house talking, I wake up in the morning smelling pancakes then I get up out the bed slowly, I put on my slippers while I put my hair in a ponytail. I get up then walk to the door, I open the door to hear Latrice singing a song which she can sing her ass off for real, I walk downstairs continue to hear Latrice singing, She don't know that I can hear her sing until I walk in the kitchen, and I jump up screaming. "Sorry girl but damn, you can sing real good, when did you know that you can sing?" I put my hands in my pockets. "I didn't know that I can sing that good, I just sing the songs on the radio because singing is my hobby that I do while I am bored. I sing when I'm driving, when I'm in the shower, and when I am in the house by myself so I do it often" I finish making pancakes then making scrambled eggs. "Yo' ass need to start singing for a record label or at karaoke nights, you can be noticed" I suggest to her but she laugh, I help her with the plates, and put them on the living room table where we watch Catfish which is our favorite show. "What time you go in to work?" Latrice ask me. "I go in at 4 because we only do lunch and dinner so that's what I usually do, don't get all sad on me best friend when I leave" I laugh when I see her puppy dog eyes. "I'll be here with you until I leave to go to work girl, so how are you and Rico doing?" I ask her while she is texting. "Girl, we are doing doing good, just last week, he took me to the UDubb Battle Rap event, which was cool because the Rap Battles were on point, babe, and I got to meet some of the Battle Rappers after the show. We even saw some of the Queen of The Ring female Battle Rappers in the building, then a few days ago, we went to the football game so we have been doing things together lately" Trice said excited. Well damn, they have been having fun going places. I'm so happy that Rico and Trice are doing good, I wish I can have that I had that type of love, lately we haven't been eye to eye with things. Trice, and I watch a movie until it was time for me to leave from work, I look down at my phone to see that it is 3:15P.M. so I head out to work, I get a text message from one of the workers, I hope it's not no bullshit trying to call out because a few of them are going to be on their last leg.
