The witch

Chapter Ten

Autumn

I wake up to the smell of freshly cooked bacon..

I check the time on my iPhone seeing that it's 10am. I also notice that I have six missed FaceTime calls from Lashay.

I attempt to call back with no answer.

She must be in class..

I stand up feeling much better than I did last night.

After I stretch a little, I walk out of the room and into the bathroom to wash my face..

Leaving the bathroom I walk down the stairs.

I hear music as I hit the end of the staircase.

"Bae these Off-Whites, these ain't no Huaraches (No Huarache, baby)
Bad bitch, fiftieth floor, eatin' Hibachi (Come here, baby)
I got ten missed calls, all my bitches mad at me
Valet park, designer district, I'm goin' straight to Gallery" Fats Raps along to some song...

He's in the kitchen cooking breakfast with his shirt off showing his many tattoos.

One in specific catches my eye, it's a portrait of a flying goblin type thing on his back. The goblin is flying over an open door and there's a man walking through it..

Fats turns around.

Once he notices me he turns the music down

"Alexa lower the volume" Fats speaks.

"Lowering volume" Alexa replies.

"You hungry?" Fats asks me.

I nod "Starving"

I sit on a barstool in front of the marble island countertop.

Fats puts a white glass plate in front of me.

I watch as he fixes me some grits, eggs and bacon with two pancakes.

I lick my lips at the food "Thank you!"

He puts syrup on the counter for me to pour my own "No problem"

"You want orange juice?" He opens the fridge.

"Yes please" I reply digging into my food.

Fats pours two cups of orange juice and sits one in front of me.

"When you get done eating just put on the clothes you had on lastnight so we can go to the mall and get you some new shit" Fats tells me biting into a piece of bacon.

"Unless you gone wear my tee shirt to the mall" He chuckles

I chuckle "No I'll put the other clothes back on"

"Okay" He nods.

His doorbell rings..

"I'll be right back" Fats excuses his self before walking away.

A few minutes later he comes back with a duffle bag over his right shoulder.

I watch as he sits it by the sink.

He opens the duffle bag, pulling out multiple stacks of money...Big stacks.

———————————-

Fats & I are at the mall in the parking lot.

"I'm gone wait in the car for you, it's too many cameras in there. I don't want no cameras catching us together with that case still open" He tells me.

I nod, that makes sense.

"Take this money" He hands me a stack of hundreds.

"Are you crazy? I'm not going in there with all this cash" I tell him.
