second before he saw
her.
     
    “ Hey girl, what’s up?” He
turned the TV down and sat up.
     
    “ I just stopped by to see
how you are doing, but I see you are just fine. That’s good you
need time to heal.”
     
    “ For what? It was just a
couple of stabs. I’m a man. I don’t need any time to
heal.”
     
    Saundra shook her head, “Men and their
egos,” she said. “Well, I brought you some get well soon food, but
I guess you won’t be needing it since you’re all better.”
     
    She turned to walk away with the chopped
wiener plate she picked up from Ray’s Barbeque Pit.
     
    “ Nah uh. Girl, come back
with that food. I can always use that.”
     
    She laughed and handed him the bag.
     
    “ You know, they say a way
to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
     
    “ Is that right,” she said.
“And what makes you think I want your heart?”
     
    “ I was just hoping maybe
we could, you know.”
     
    “ Slow down, cowboy. We
will see. I don’t know if I should be crazy enough to date a man
who tried to kill me.”
     
    Maurice looked behind her to see if his dad
was in hearing distance. “About that,” he said.
     
    She waved him off. “You’ve already explained
yourself. I forgive you. Besides, I prayed for rescue before you
found me. When the devil tried to use you for evil, God used you
for good. I won’t be bringing it back up, so don’t worry about
it.”
     
    Maurice looked relieved. She walked closer
to him and sat on his lap, placing a quick kiss on his cheek. “Are
you going to Teresa’s funeral?” she asked.
     
    After the fiasco and discovery of a body in
the trunk of a car, the police followed Jasmine in the ambulance to
the hospital and stood on guard.
    Once she was better, they transferred her
straight to jail, where she is awaiting trial. Teresa’s corpse was
taken to the morgue. Her funeral is four days from now.
     
    “ I feel like I should go
pay my respects. I’ve made peace with God and asked Him to forgive
me. So now, I need to do the same with her.”
     
    Saundra shook her head up and down in
understanding. “Well, if you need a ride, let me know.”
     
    She got up and walked away. “I’m sure I
will,” Maurice said, a smirk on his face.
     
    She blew him a kiss. “See you later,
alligator.”
     
    “ After while,
crocodile.”
