“What?” I asked not able to believe what I was hearing. “Man damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Are you sure that she was inside the house?”

             
“Yes, her car was still parked in the garage and everything. Her mama had Simya, thank goodness.” She sobbed. “Corey please come home. I don’t want to be by myself and I can’t get in contact with Mia.”

             
I let out a sigh. “Alright baby, I’m on my way. Let me go holla at my supervisor and tell him that I have an emergency at home. I’ll be there shortly, okay.”

             
“Okay…and Corey drive safe.”

             
“I will baby.” I disconnected the call and looked over at Mia, who was stretched out naked lying in bed next to me propped up on her elbow and staring in my face…Crazy In Luv 2 coming soon!!!

                                                        Thank You’s

First and foremost I would like to thank God for everything. Without him nothing would be possible. I thank him for blessing me with this wonderful gift to be able to write and entertain people with my stories. Secondly, I would like to thank my three beautiful babies, Ny’Ajah, Camari, and AnTeyvion. You three are the reason that I grind so hard and continue to strive for more and to become a better me. I would like to thank my mom, Angela Taylor and my dad, Paul Hill. I am thankful for and appreciate you both. To my grandmothers Ann West and Mable Hill, I love you both and thank you for being there for me whenever I have needed you both. To my sister and my best friend Tinika Taylor, I love you more than life itself. You are my rock, the one person I can depend on when everyone else in this harsh world has turned their backs on me! I treasure every moment that the two of us spend together.

To all of my aunts, uncles and cousins, I love you guys. R.I.P to my uncles Steve and Calvin, I miss you both very much. A special shout out to my uncle Al Kelly, even though we don’t get to see each other much anymore because of our hectic schedules, I love you to pieces and thank you
