Awake || Chris Brown Story

Chapter 11

9:48 PM

I was still settled in bed after going to go get me a few snacks from the store for my midnight cravings, and my phone started ringing on my nightstand, it was Chris as I expected.

"Hello?" I answered

"What you doin'?" He asked

"Just came back from gettin' a few snacks, about to chill and look at some more shows." I replied

"What shows? You still look at that scary ass show?" He asked

"You talking about American Horror Story? Yes, I do! I still love that show." I said

"That show used to scare the shit out of me and I never understood it." He chuckled

"You'd have to watch it from the very start to grasp what's actually going on in it." I said

"I don't even wanna know."

I smiled to myself, "What you doing up?" I asked

"It's not like it's late, Ky, but I just put the kids down for bed and I'm staring at the ceiling right now."

"The ceiling? Why?" I asked

He sighed, "Just up so I have time to think." He said

"What are you thinking about, Chris?"

"Everything, and I don't wanna go into any details but just know it's a lot on my mind. I'm trying to figure out how to better myself and not make the same mistakes I did in the past." He explained

"I understand, but you have to live and learn from your mistakes so hopefully you aren't beating yourself up about it."

"You know me well so you know I am." He said

"Don't beat yourself up, just learn from it and do better as you move forward."

"You right, Kyra."

"Aren't I always?" I asked

He started off chuckling, "Yo, you remember like about four years ago when the kids and us went to a water park and I slipped so hard I scraped my side." He said, with a mixture of laughter

I couldn't hold my laughter in, I laughed along with him,"How could I forget? It was as if it happened yesterday, though the water attendant told you to not run, you being stubborn you did it anyway and scraped your entire side up. You wouldn't leave me alone about the scratch, I had to patch it up every night." I said, following with more laughter

"And the gag is, the scratch barely hurt, I was just being a big ass punk and over exaggerating because I was embarrassed about falling in the first place." He said

"Memories."

"Yeah, we gotta make some more sometime." He said

It fell silent for a second, "Milani's birthday is next month, did she discuss with you what she wanted to do yet?" I asked

"Hell naw and I'm not gone ask her." He replied

I chuckled, "Why not?"

"You know Milani, if we allow her that type of control to choose what she wanna do for her birthday she gone have us traveling to the moon, capturing Unicorns and cows and shit."

I burst out laughing, "Well you and I can discuss some ideas the next time we meet up, which will be this weekend." I said

"That's fine." He replied
