*Zion

The smell of food woke me up. I stretched and headed to the bathroom. I did what I needed, did my hygiene shit, and headed into the kitchen. Soon as I turned into the kitchen, I ran into Milan. She was falling, but I grabbed her and pulled her up.

"You just knock me out early this morning??" She asked looking at me with a goofy grin 

"I didn't not see you coming..." I said before letting her go

"You better be lucky today is Sunday and I don't feel like fighting..." she said making me laugh

"So any other day you would've fought me??" I asked and she nodded
"Yeah right. What you cooking??"

"Eggs, bacon, biscuits, and rice cuz I didn't want grits..." she said and I nodded

I headed into the kitchen but she grabbed my arm. I looked at her and she pointed to the table. I playfully rolled my eyes and went to the table. I sat down and it didn't take her long to bring my food to the table. After a while, she came back with her food. Once she sat her food down, she grabbed my hand, we both said a silent prayer, then started eating.

"So what's the deal for the day??" I asked her

"You off today??" She asked looking surprised

"Yeah, I've been working constantly for these last few weeks so I just needed a day to breathe..." I said and she nodded
"So what we doing??"

"Well on Sunday once you leave, I clean the kitchen back up, and maybe take a nap. Or maybe watch tv. After I wake up, I get on the phone with Lani for like a hour and a half or longer, it depends on what she's doing. After that, I watch tv and wait around for Crystal and Red to call after work. I talk to them for a while, before they go home to family. And after that I watch tv or sleep until you come home..."she said

"Sound adventurous..." I said

"Shut up..." she said smacking my arm as we laughed
"But I think we could bbq or something. Invite everybody over..."

"That'll be nice..." she said

"Then let's do it..." I said

Once we done eating, we texted everybody. Mom and Melody won't make it cuz they went back home. But everybody else were coming. Zion and I put clothes on so we could go grocery shopping for things. We got in her car and headed to the grocery store. It didn't take us long to get there.

She parked and we went in.

"What we getting first??" She asked looking at me while grabbing a basket

"What exactly are we cooking??" I asked looking at her

"Whatever you want??" She said smiling at me

"We can do spaghetti, bbq, maybe baked beans, and drinks..." I said

"Yeah, and I think Lalani is bringing
some ..." she said

"I think Red and Crystal bringing some too..." I said and she nodded

I linked my arm around her and we started going down isles to get what we needed. We were halfway through shopping.

"Should we get dessert??" I asked looking at her

"I mean you can..." she said

"You don't want any??" I asked

"I'm was tryna get mine some other time..." she said looking at me

I smacked her arm and we laughed.

"I'm forreal..."I said

"Yeah, we can get dessert. Whatever kind you like..." She said

"Okay..." I said softly with a big smile as we went down the isle

We got everything we needed and headed to the dessert isle.

"Go ahead..." she said

I went and looked through them, but I didn't see anything I wanted. I was looking for a while.

"You don't see nun??" She asked

"No..." I said looking at her pout

"Maybe you should make the cake again..." she said

"You liked it, huh..." I said looking at her

"Yes, it was good ass hell..." she said

"Then I might just do that..." I said
"We need to go to the cake isle tho..."

"Let's go..." she said

We headed to the cake isle, I got what I needed, and we headed to checkout. We waiting in line then we went through. I was tryna convince Zion to let me pay for half of the stuff, but she wouldn't let me. We got the bags, we pushed the basket to the car, put the bags in the car, and headed to the house. Once we got home, we got the bags out, and started put the stuff up. We cooking later so we put it up until it's time.

"I think I wanna go get back in bed..." I said

"Go ahead. I think I'm going to start on the meat in a minute..." she said as she start unthawing the meat

"Okay..." I said

I grabbed the candy I got from the store and went into the room. I stripped outta my pants and got in bed. I grabbed the remote and put it on a movie.
