FORTY-FIVE

Baton Rouge

Nina Simmons, 22
November

As Nina left her therapist's office she ran into Tyshawn. "Hey Tyshawn" She waved causing him to smile.

His perfect white teeth showed. They were so perfect Nina was very impressed.

"Wassup witchu, what you doing here?" He asked "I had to come see my therapist, Veronica. Is she your therapist too?"

"Nah- nah I am a therapist my office is down the hall. How come I never seen you in here before?" He asked "Umm iono maybe we didn't pay each other any mind because we didn't know each other. How long you been working here?"

"Since it opened. This is my practice, I have like two more not that far away from here."

"Wow... you really are a good man, huh?"

"I try, I try. I'll see you later though I have to get to my patient. Enjoy your day beautiful."

"Okay, you too." She smiled really hard as she walked away. "Damn that man know he fine as fuck." She mumbled

Hearing him chuckle she looked back and saw him looking back at her also. Nina then quickly exited the building thinking he heard her which he did.

"Mama!" She yelled as she got in the car. "What?"

"You knew Tyshawn owned this building didn't you?"

"He might've told me once or twice." She shrugged wit a smirk on her face. "You sneaky"

"It slipped my mind. You had mail at the house from Houston. Who you know that lives there?"

"I don't know." Nina shrugged honestly not knowing who it could be from. "Oh okay"

They picked up some food then went straight home. As soon as Nina got in the house she grabbed her mail and washed her hands so she could go upstairs to eat.

When she finally got settled she ripped the envelope open and unfolded the paper that was inside it.
