Jason wakes her up at 6 am, ” I have to go. You can stay here if you want.”

“I can’t, I have to watch the kids. Can you give me ride home?”

“Yeah, no problem.” He kisses her on the mouth.

She rushes and puts on her clothes and in 15 minutes she is back at home. They kiss each other.

“Come over later, Day.”

“I will.”

She gets out of the car and he drives off.

“God dammit, Daylene can’t you git home when you need to? You know you have to watch my kids.” Chantel yells at her.

“Well I’m home now. So leave.”

“I’m running late because of you. How bout you let me use your car so I git there?”

Daylene fishes the keys out of her purse, “Fine, don’t wreck it.”

“Well at least you can afford another one.” Chantel takes the keys and runs off. Daylene hears the car tires screech out of the driveway. A few minutes later Dionne comes through the door.

“I thought you weren’t here.”

“Chantel suckered me into letting her use my car. You know I was late getting back this morning.”

“How was you trip?”

“The best. I spent the night at his place last night. He lives in Harmony Gardens. I think he’s the one Dionne. I know he is.”

She laughs, “Daylene you say that about every man you been with.”

“No I don’t.”

“Mmm hmmm. Well I remember. What makes him so special? Lemme guess you don’t know. He just is and he makes me feel soooo good.”

Daylene lowers her head and doesn’t answer her.

“See that’s what I thought,” Dionne says, “You don’t know what love is. You think cause you sleep with someone that you love em.”

“Then tell me, what love is. So I know,” Daylene pleads with her.

“Hun, love is something that has to be grown you know like a flower.”

“What about love at first sight?”

“Day, there ain’t no such thing. This guy won’t last. They never do. You say you love him, that love at first bull and hten boom a few months or weeks or whatever they are gone. Cause something is wrong with them.”

“This is different Dionne you wait and see.”

“Lord, I wish it was true.”
