I was laying on Meek peacefully sleeping then the baby monitor on our nightstands went off with Janelle crying.
"Who's going to get her?", Meek asked.
"I will. You go back to sleep baby."
I got off him and walked to her room.
"She's not crying anymore. Wonder why.", I said to myself.
I opened the door and saw Papi holding a bottle and she was drinking.
"Thank you baby boy."
"You're welcome.", he said smiling.
" You know what to do afterwards right?"
"Yep. Pat her back until she burps."
"That's my boy."
I kissed his forehead and walked back to the room. I laid on Meek and he started playing with my hair.
"That was quick. What happened?"
"Papi took care of it."
"Now we can go back to sleep."
"No. You need to get up."
"For what? I'm tired Nic."
"You forgot Pap has a field trip and he needs to be there by 7:30."
"I can't ever get sleep."
"You slept in the whole day yesterday. Come on Meek."
"Aight. Just give me 5 minutes."
"Now."
"When I snap on yo ass later you know why."
I got off him but he pulled me back down.
"Give me a kiss."
"No. I don't want to kiss you with morning breath.", I said and he laughed.
"Fine. Be like that then."
I got off him and we went in the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and wiped my face.
"You going to work today?", he asked.
"Yeah. Some of my clients miss me and won't go to anyone else to get their hair done."
"I'm just going to chill here."
"It's either you go with me or you hang out with your boys. You're not staying here."
"Come on. You let me do it yesterday."
"That was yesterday. A whole different day."
"So that means you're taking Janelle with you right?"
"Yep. Everybody wiped down everything yesterday so it's good to go."
"Good. I'll be with Tak and the others."
"Can you bring me lunch?"
"What you want?"
"I'm in the mood for crabs."
"Sounds great, but we'll do that after you get off."
I started pouting and he kissed me.
"Don't pout you're still getting crabs afterwards."
"Okay."
I finished curling my hair then I got dressed.
