CHAPTER 7

The following morning, Shaneeka was hesitant about taking Tyreeq with her to her new job. Nathaniel had insisted that it would be perfectly fine until she found someone else to care for him, but she still didn’t feel comfortable doing it.

She’d taken Tyreeq with her everyday to her old place of employment. Since her last job had been at a preschool /daycare, she hadn't felt that taking Tyreeq with her had been out of the ordinary there. Her son had just become one of the kids that she and the other employees at the preschool looked after each day — of course she paid a small weekly fee for the service. But her new job didn't involve looking after kids, so she didn't feel 100% comfortable dragging him along.

“Nathaniel is just trying to be nice,” she whispered under her breath as she sped along the interstate towards her destination. “He can’t really be serious about this.”

She shook her head. She couldn’t help but admit that the ability to bring her son with her had been a Godsend. Ever since losing her job, she hadn’t had the money to put Tyreeq in a daycare facility. So she really hadn’t had anyone to babysit him.

She parked her car in the lot outside of Blessed Security Inc and made her way to the building. No need to keep debating everything, we’re here now.

“Morning, beautiful. If you looking for the discount bakery, they in the building beside this one. They next door.”

Shaneeka flashed a tiny smile towards the thug-life looking goon who was standing by the empty receptionist desk thumbing through a bodybuilding magazine. “Um, I’m actually looking for Nathaniel.”

The man looked between Shaneeka and Tyson and grinned. “Boss done knocked you up, shorty? I thought he said he was leaving chicks alone. Something ‘bout Jesus and celibacy—,” he winked his eye, “— that means not getting any you know.” Then he began nodding his head. “But boss did good for his self...you cute, shorty.”

It was on the tip of Shaneeka’s tongue to tell whoever this dude was that he had it all wrong, but Nathaniel came out of his office and beat her to it.

“Jay, I see you already introduced yourself to our new office manager. I hope you weren’t out here talking slick.” He smiled. “She’s gonna be the one who makes out your schedules. You know how you like trying to squeeze in extra days off. She might not be willing to work with you if you ain’t been talking to her right.”

The guy whose name Shaneeka had just learned was Jay chuckled. “My bad, boss. I thought this was your lady and that was your little soldier she was rolling up in here with.”

If Shaneeka had been white, she would’ve blushed when Jay had said that. She pushed her feelings of embarrassment aside and said, “My name’s Shaneeka. It was good to meet you, Jay.”

Nathaniel took control of the conversation at that point. He looked at Shaneeka and said, “I have a few things I need to talk to Jay about Shaneeka.
