Chapter 3
"Beeep, beeep, beeep." the alarm clock sounded on the nightstand
next to Dezarae's bed. She reached over and turned it off. She rolled
over and saw her daughter staring at her. "Goodmorning baby, how'd my
angel sleep last night?" Dezarae asked hugging her daughter. Angela
hugged her back and said she slept well. They both got up and went in
the kitchen to get some breakfast. When they got in the kitchen they
saw Toshia already in there feeding Hunter. "Hey Tosh, how's my little
nephew?" Dezarae said kissing the top of her nephew's head. Angela
walked up and hugged Toshia like she does every morning. "Goodmorning
Aunt TOshia."she said. Toshia hugged her back and told her to sit at
her spot so she could eat her breakfast. Angela did as she was told
and waited patiently for her breakfast. "What do you want for breakfast
punkin?" Dezarae asked. Angela told her she wanted cereal. So Dezarae
poured herself and Angela some cereal and sat down at the table to
eat.
"Mommy, do you have to go to work today?" Angela asked. "Yes
sweetheart I have to work til 2 and then I'll be home." Dezarae told
her. Angela asked if she was gonna be with her Aunt Lindsey today.
Dezarae told her no, she was having someone else babysit her today. Who
mommy, who?" Angela asked getting excited. Dezarae and Toshia laughed.
Dezarae told her she'd have to wait and see. After they all finished
breakfast Dezarae and Toshia cleared the table and washed the dishes
while Angela played peek-a-boo with Hunter. "So what are you and Jeff
planning on doing today?" Dezarae asked. "Oh we'll probably take Hunter
to the park or something."Toshia replied. When they were done with the
dishes Dezarae took Angela to get her dressed for the day. She dressed
her in blue denim shorts and a black tank-top. Then Dezarae went to her
room to get ready for work. She took a shower, did her hair and makeup
and then picked out her outfit for work. She picked out a pair of blue
carpenter jeans, and a black tank-top.She put her scrub top on and then
nike's. By the time she was done getting dressed it was almost 9:30.
She walked out of her bedroom and hollered, "Toshia your gonna have to
move your car so I can get mine out of the driveway." Toshia tossed the
keys to Dezarae and asked her to do it. "I'll be right back babydoll."
Dezarae said to Angela when she asked where she was going. Angela told
her ok. Dezarae walked out the front door and walked straight to
Toshia's car. She got in, started it up and moved it next to hers. She
turned off the car and went back in the house.
Dezarae put Toshia's keys on the counter and went in the playroom with
her daughter. "Angela come give me a hug, I'm gonna have to go to work in a
few minutes."Dezarae said. As she was sitting there with her daughter she heard
the phone ring. Toshia answered it. Dezarae could hear Toshia talking but she
couldn't tell what she was saying. "Dezarae Chris is on the phone."Toshia
yelled. Dezarae jumped up and ran into the kitchen to the phone. "Hello..
how are you?" Dezarae said into the phone. Chris is Angela's father and he called to
tell Dezarae that he was coming to town and wanted to drop by to see his daughter.
Dezarae told him he could, then she asked when he would be there. Chris
told her he would be there about 4 that afternoon. Dezarae said ok, then
she told him what's been going on and what happened the day before. While
Dezarae was talking to Chris on the phone she heard the doorbell ring.
She answered the door while still talking on the phone, she saw that it was
Matt and Jeff. Dezarae motioned for them to come in. After they came in Dezarae
shut the door and went back to the kitchen. She talked to Chris for awhile
longer then she said, "Well Chris it was nice talking to you. I have to go
to work now or I'll be late. When you get in town call my cell phone and let me know
and then If I'm not home we can meet somewhere so you can spend some time
with Anglea." Chris told her okay. Dezarae asked him if he wanted to talk to Angela
He told her yeah. "Angela, your daddy's on the phone, he wants to talk to you."
she yelled. Angela came running in the room yelling "Daddy, daddy, daddy!"
Dezarae handed her the phone and went to talk to Matt.
She walked in the living room and saw Jeff playing with Hunter and
Matt sitting on the couch talking to Toshia. "Hey guys I gotta get runnin
or I'll be late for work. Chris is coming to town today at 4, and he wants
to see Angela. I don't know if Scotty will be with him because I didn't ask.
You can go ask him cause he's still talking to Angela. Matt you can take her
to the park if you want or you can just hang around here, it's up to you.
There's food in the kitchen eat whatever you want. I gotta go, thanks again for
watching Angela for me." Dezarae said. Matt told her okay and she was welcome.
Toshia went in the kitchen to ask Chris if Scotty was coming into town.
Chris told her yeah. Toshia said okay and handed the phone back to Angela.
Dezarae told everyone bye and went in the kitchen to grab her purse and keys.
"Bye Angela, I love you. You be good for Matt okay." she told her daughter.
"Okay mommy." Angela replied. So she hollered bye to everyone else and left for
work.
Back at the house Toshia and Jeff were getting stuff ready to leave
while Matt was talking to Chris cause Angela handed him the phone. Chris
and Matt had met each other a couple times so they knew each other. They
were surprised. Chris said he had to hang up so Matt gave the phone back
to Angela so she could tell him bye. After she did Matt hung up the phone.
"Hey Toshia, so Angela's dad is Chris Kanyon?"Matt said to her. Toshia
looked at him and said "Yeah, do you know him?" Matt told her yea. "Whoa
that is too weird. You know Evan, you know Dezarae's ex , and my ex too."
Toshia said. "You mean you ex is Scotty? That means he's Hunter's father." Matt said.
They talked about them for awhile until Toshia and Jeff were ready to leave.
Jeff picked up Hunter and Toshia carried everything out to the car. They got in
the car and drove off.
