He furrowed his brows and shook his head. He was completely taken aback, "Woah... When the fuck that happen?"
"Right before finals," she blushed.
He nodded as his thoughts processed, "Wait, so you gay?"
She shrugged, "I don't know. I guess so."
"You like niggas?"
"Sometimes. Niggas get on my nerves, though. I never should've went to college."
He furrowed his brows, "Why you say that?"
"'Cause I don't know if I'm gay, but even if I say I am, it doesn't stop them from messing with me."
"I need to come up there, too?"
She rolled her eyes, "No, bubba."
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
He sighed softly and wiped his face as he finally sat up. "I gotta take you?"
She nodded, "Please. I don't really want her to know where we live."
He yawned, "Fasho. Get out."
She scoffed as she stood to leave, "That's rude. I thought you missed me."
"I did, sissy. Don't mean I want you in my room at seven o'clock in the morning, though," he returned.
She smacked her lips, "That's why momma like me more than you anyway."
"She was my momma first," he scoffed.
"I'm her only biological daughter."
He shrugged, "I'm her firstborn and the only boy she got. You not topping me, kid."
The two of them bickered senselessly over they're mother, having no idea that she was walking through the front door as they spoke.
She breathed deeply, so happy to finally be home again. The familiar smells and sounds filled her with a warmth she couldn't describe. "I'm home!!" Ava yelled.
Nasir was first to greet his wife, practically sprinting into the living room. She yelped when he snatched her up in at tight hug, lifting her to spin excitedly.
She smiled in his arms as she held his face, "Did you miss me?"
He nodded with nothing but love in his eyes, "So very much."
She gave a cute pout. "I missed you, too," she returned, moving to press a loving kiss to his lips.
He placed her back on the floor, and immediately, their daughters surrounded her in a tight hug.
She did her best to hold all three of them before looking at Bahar. "You got something you need to tell me," she stated knowingly.
The girl was red in seconds, "I do?"
Ava scoffed, "Uh, yes. You just spent your first semester in college, I wanna hear about it."
"Oh! Yeah, sure," she nodded.
Her momma knew, she knew her momma knew. But if Ava didn't address it directly, neither would she.
London waited patiently for his chance to greet Ava. Despite how long they were taking, he didn't interrupt his sisters' moment with her, since he knew his would last the rest of the night.
When they finally let go, her eyes found his. She had to mentally prepare herself for the way her son was about to crush her in a hug.
When he did, she adjusted her breathing to accommodate having all of the air squeezed out of her lungs. She cradled his head on her shoulder, holding him close as if he was still her newborn.
