she sucked her teeth and answered.
              “Hello?”
                  “Good morning.” a familiar husky voice boomed through the speaker.
                  Erin sat confused. “Tone?”
                  “Yea, is this Erin?”
                  Erin stood up and started pacing her bedroom floor. “How’d you get my number?” She sighed in disbelief. “I’ma whoop Skyy’s ass man.” She heard Tone fumbling with his phone. “Hello?”
                  “Yea, I’m here. Your homegirl hooked me up with your number.”
                  Erin made her way to the bathroom mirror, and put her phone on speaker phone. “Yea I kind of figured that. What’s up? It’s six in the morning.” She pulled her hair into a high ponytail.
                  Tone pulled up to the McDonalds drive through speaker. “Yea I know, I’m surprised you up.”
                  She put her small diamond studded earrings in. “Can I help you with something?” She listened as he made his order.
                  He paused. “You want something?”
                  Erin took her phone back off speaker. “Tone, you do know you calling me at six in the morning offering McDonalds breakfast is weird and cheap, right?”
                  Tone laughed. “You’re too pretty to have an attitude that ugly. Who broke your heart?”
                  Erin looked at the phone baffled at his remark.
                  He continued, “I saw a beautiful woman, and felt an instant attraction between us. I don’t see anything weird with the fact that I can’t get you off my mind, and making sure you ate this morning. How much do you usually spend on breakfast?” She heard the tone in his voice become serious.
                  Erin felt calmness come over her. “Well I-“
                  Tone cut her off. “You hungry? What you doing up so early?”
    “I’m usually always up around this time, and I have to be at work by 7:30.” She went back into the bedroom and began putting on the uniform that was laid out across her bed.
                  Tone could hear her fumbling with the phone as she put it on speaker again. “You work where?”
                  “Jackson County Correctional Fa-“
                  He cut her off again. “Aw shit you the police.” he laughed. “Damn baby it’s like that?”
                  Erin buttoned up her shirt. “Oh hush, you sound like my brothers.” Tone was obviously eating causing her to giggle. “You smacking like you ain’t never had a sausage biscuit.”
                  Tone chuckled. “You funny. I’m like you though, I rarely eat breakfast. This shit fire.”
                  Erin sat on the edge of the bed putting on her socks and shoes. “I bet… I haven’t had breakfast in so long. I’ma have to make me one, one morning.”
                  He took a gulp of his orange juice. “You cooking for me too?”
                  Erin grabbed her purse and turned the television and her light off, and headed downstairs and out the door. “You cook for me first.” she said sarcastically.
                  “Coo. You can come to my place tonight when you get off work.”
                  “Tonight? I can’t. I know when I get off I’ma be tired, maybe some other time.”
                  Tone pulled into his driveway. “Aight, if you change your mind, you got my number.” he said with disappointment evident in his voice.
                  Erin clicked her seatbelt and started her car. “Right, I’ll let you know.”
                  He smiled. “Have a good day Erin, I’ll talk to you later.”
                  “Thank you Santonio, you too.” She hung up
