"My only plans with you are
Spending my one life staying with you
The wrong that keeps me right and
The light that keeps me guided.
Ooh. whoa oh."
     -Jhené Aiko "Do Better Blues"

Feel so weird waking up in bed alone & under the same roof as my husband. I was serious when I told him that we needed to start over from us talking to our dating stages. We might have rushed into the relationship because I still have issues that I haven't worked out. Stefan really traumatized me & I guess just the thought of somebody wanting me was comforting.

"Good morning mommas" Don said breaking my thoughts

"Good morning Don"

"What ya got up for the day?"

"I have a few clients then I'm free"

"Shooter & his girl having a kickback ya wanna go?"

"Are you asking me on a date?"

"Nah I wouldn't say this a date a nigga still working on that."

"Okay, we can go but ya gotta take me on a date soon"

"Aight I got ya mommas"

With that I got up & went in the bathroom & started the shower. I was only gonna be at the shop for a few hours then I'm going to check on Zo & pick up Dj. I actually miss him he's so sweet just like my chubs. Today is one of Zo chemo day so I try to get Dj because I know she be exhausted. I stripped outta my clothes & got in the hot water felt so good running down my body.

"Daddy I go with you?" Kj said running in the room

Scooping him up I flipped him on the bed & he laughed.

"I'm not going nowhere boy"

"You go work daddy"

"Nah I'm off what ya wanna do?"

"Run a check" he said seriously

"Boy what ya lil ass know about running up a check?"

"Eric"
