shrugged his shoulders. I’m guessing he was just as puzzled as I was. I picked up the baby and placed him in his car seat and then grabbed both his and Jahlisa’s bags and took them over to Gio who was standing next to his car talking. I opened the trunk, placing the bags inside and then walked back to my truck to grab the baby.
    “Greg, can you go put Jahlisa in Gio’s car, please?” I asked as I grabbed the infant seat and walked over to Gio’s car.
    Once they were in, I kissed both of them on the cheek and closed the door. I turned around, facing Gio. “So I see you had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Tracy,” he said and I nodded my head.
    “We exchanged numbers. I don’t know how to address the situation. I want answers because I feel like it will allow Tone’s soul to finally be at peace and I don’t want to keep Baby Tone from her, but it was weird,” I said, staring at Gio.
    “I say take it one day at a time with her. Get to know her and then determine how you want to deal with her,” said Gio. I nodded my head and kissed his cheek. “Have a good date, see u later little sis.”
    I waved and hopped in my truck.
    I pulled up to the house and Chris was already sitting out front. I liked that about him. He was always a man of his word, even down to the smallest things. If he said he was going to be somewhere or do something, then that’s what he did. I hopped out of my truck and walked over to the driver’s side window and tapped on it lightly. Chris was leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed and right arm draped over his face. He looked over at me and I smiled as he opened the door and got out to stretch. I laughed as he threw his body over mine and gave me a rough hug.
    “What’s good, beautiful?” he asked as we walked into my house.
    “Not much, just trying to get through the day.” I placed my phone and purse on the coffee table and sat down on the couch. The day had taken a lot out of me; the tears, the laughter and just everything that comes along with death had drained me. I had thought about canceling my plans with Chris earlier but I had been catting off on him for a minute now so I sucked it up and kept my plans.
    “You’re changing your clothes, right?” Chris asked, interrupting my thoughts.
    I looked at him and raised my eyebrow. “Well, yeah. I was going to change but is there a problem with what I have on? I thought we were doing go kart racing?” I asked.
    I had peeped the tinge of jealousy in Chris’ voice and I shrugged it off and talked myself out of catching an attitude. I knew he was asking because I had on an all-white blazer with a huge picture of Tone and I on the back and pictures of Laela, Jah and Sage on the front. I mean, of course I wasn’t going to wear my old boyfriend’s face while out with another man but the way he asked had me in my feelings.
    I got up from the couch and brushed past Chris. He tried to grab my hand but I snatched it away and headed upstairs. “Give me a minute,” I threw over my shoulder with a roll of my eyes.
    After running around the cemetery all day, I decided to take a quick shower. I went into my closet and grabbed a pair of Aeropostale jeans with a plain white baby tee shirt and a yellow blazer paired with the Laney Jordan 5s. We were going to the speed racing track so I wanted to be comfortable but I also wanted to be cute. Once I got in the shower, I relaxed. I had to give myself a personal pep talk.
    I couldn’t let the things that people said affect me. I knew that Chris would never understand my feelings and there would be things that my heart felt that nobody would understand. I had to tread lightly because I knew that men let their egos get in the way of common sense sometimes.
    I finished my shower and dried off before applying some Beautiful Day body butter by Bath and Body Works. I threw on my clothes and headed downstairs. Once I walked into the living room, Chris had handed me a shot of 1800 that I gladly accepted.
