Don't Hide From Me

Babysitting

It was around 4:45 that same afternoon, I was still asleep, curled up under the sheets of my bed. Chresanto walked out the bathroom after his shower and got dressed. His phone vibrated on the nightstand, waking me up.

"What in the world?!" I groaned sleepily.

Chresanto walked to the nightstand and grabbed his phone, "Oh my GOD!"

I could tell in his tone that he really didn't want to talk to the person calling him. He straightened up and answered his phone.

"Hey, Babe..!"

"Nigga, where the fuck is you at?!"

"The same place I've been at an hour ago when you called last..."

"Are you with another woman?!"

"No! Why would I be?!"

"Oh, I dunno! TONI!"

"Look, I'm not with her... I'm at the hotel!"

"Fine... Whatever. I need you to pick up Trey from my mom's and run a few errands for me. I have to visit a friend in the hospital."

"Sure..!"

"Thanks, see you later.."

"Bye... Love you!"

"...Love you too."

Chresanto hung up his phone and threw it down on the bed.

"What did Justice want?" I asked him.

He looked at me and chuckled, "I have to run a few errands for her. And pick up Trey."

"Well!" I started, "I can watch over Trey if you don't want him to be in the way."

"I dunno! I wouldn't want to just drop him on you like that..."

"Well you can't leave him alone at home!"

He paused to think, "You have a point there... And I told him a little bit about you so, I guess it'll be alright!"

"Good!" I stood up from the bed, but then dropped to my knees.

Chresanto rushed over to me, helping me up on my feet.

"Good Lord, I can't feel my legs!"

"Sorry.."

I looked up at him as he smirked.

"Oh hush!!" I blurted.

Chresanto laughed as I made my way to the bathroom.

After I washed up and got dressed in a tank and some sweatpants, I walked downstairs to be greeted by Chresanto and Trey.

"Hi!" Trey yelled out, waving at me.

"Hi, cutie!" I giggled and picked him up, "Wow, he looks like you..."

"I know right?" Chresanto smiled, "Be good for Ms. Toni, okay?"

"Yes, sir!!" Trey nodded.

"Alright! I'll be back later and pick you up," He said, walking out the door.

Trey yelled out to him, "Bye, Daddy!!!"
