I know if I tried to pay for it in front of her, she would’ve declined my help, but what do I look like letting her pay for that? That settled. We headed to her storage unit, there were some things she wanted to take back with her personally, luckily for me she had them packed and right in the front of the storage unit. I grab them and put them in the back of the SUV.
As we are leaving the storage unit Savvy gets a call.
“Ma!”
“Yes Saint.”
I have a problem, Mell and the baby come home tomorrow but I haven't finished getting all the stuff for the baby yet. I thought I had a few more weeks.”
“Are you serious Saint? I been told you to get that baby’s stuff.”
“I know mom, I’ve just been a little busy.”
“No, you’re a procrastinator.”
“Ma can you go by the store for me? If you come by the hospital you can grab my debit card.”
“Ok Rock. Do y’all even have the stuff picked out?
“Yeah. I’ll text you the set Mell wants.”
A few seconds later the text comes through and I know this is not the set Mell wants. This the set my cheap ass son probably talked Mell into. I remember a set she has marked in one of the magazines I looked through yesterday while Jag had me waiting forever. I tell Jag where we’re going, and he puts in the SUV’s GPS and off we go. We get to the store and Jag’s smart ass gets a flatbed instead of a shopping cart, he gets on my nerves. I pull up the set I’m looking for and the clerk tells me they can get in tomorrow the soonest but that's putting a rush on it and then gives me a ridiculous fee for it. Or we can wait a couple of days and it can be delivered directly to the house for free. I look at Joshua.
“It’s whatever you want to do Savvy I will pay the rush fee, or we can wait it’s up to you.”
OK so I know where my son gets his cheapness from, because I choose to wait those couple days. We grab a co-sleeper for the baby, so Mell won’t have to go far when the baby gets up. I grab all the other stuff that is available and check out. They will deliver all the stuff we bought today to the house tomorrow. I’m getting my money back too; I think and know I’m lying.
“Can we go get another garbage plate?”
“Are you serious, Jag?”
“Yes, that shit was good. Maybe before we leave to go back home.”
I give him the address to where we are going to eat. While we are on our way there I pre order our food. I get Jag two because he is NOT going to eat mine. We get to the restaurant and he goes in and grabs the food. He was so confused when I told him there was no spot to eat inside. He gets back in the car.
“So where are we supposed to eat this? It smells good as hell and I’m hungry.”
“We’re going to Saint’s house to eat.”
“We are going to need drinks. Can you take me by the grocery store? It’s by Saint’s house.”
I pull up to the grocery store and go in with Savannah.
“What in the Hogwarts sorcery is this?”
This is a damn grocery store? There is a sushi bar that prepares fresh sushi, a sub shop made to order, an Asian food shop, Indian food shop, a deli, a hot food shop, a pizza shop, a fresh seafood department, butcher department, a bakery with all type of cakes, pies, cookies, donuts, scones, cheesecakes etc. A full pharmacy, a natural food section. A beer walk-in refrigerator and I can go on and on. This grocery store is amazing, I want one for the community we are building. I send a text to Joseph to get started on contacting whomever he needs to, to get one of these there. As we are cashing out
Savvy remarks she forgot something, and I swear the cashier turns on her assistance light. The manager comes over and asks her what she forgot. Savvy tells him and he tells the cashier to shut her light off, moved all the other customers to another register and sends another worker to get what Savannah forgot. She stands there like this is everyday behavior.
She looks up at me, “What?”
“Are they serious?”
“Yes Jag, this is normal customer service here.”
“Yeah, I need this grocery store.”
Finally, we are on our way to Saint’s house. We get set up in the kitchen, and Savvy gives me a whole raspberry lemonade juice to myself, a whole roll of paper towels and plates to put or sandwiches on. We unwrap the steak subs, and she does a little happy dance in her seat.
