Brandy's pov
"Alright real quick.." I smiled as I climbed onto Monica's lap. I kissed her lips softly before I started to fill her pull back and attempt to push me off her lap.
"It's not going to be quick and I really have to go.." She said and I shrugged before burying my face in her neck.
My left hand come up to cradle her head as I began to suck on her pulse point. My hips whined in her lap and I whined as Monica's hands dropped to my ass.
"I have a c-confession.." Monica said causing me to sit straight up in her lap. "What?"
"I have to go.." She said and let out a deep breath as if it was really burdening her to hold that in.
"Really?!" I sighed as she laughed and gently pushed me off of her lap.
"I'll be back before you know it Bouj," She smiled and leaned forward to press her lips against mine. I relaxed into the kiss until her alarm went off signaling it was actually time for her to go.
"I hate this!" I groaned. I hated how busy we've been lately. I just got back home and now she's leaving not even a full twenty-four hours later.
"You're being a baby. It's three days and then I'll be back.."
"Yeah but it just feels like we never see each other anymore. I want time with my wife.." I said as I followed her off of the bed and went to grab her suitcase in the corner of our room.
"And we'll get that.." She reassured.
Her finger tucked under my chin and raised my head before she pecked my lips three times. I smiled, brightly and for a split second I forgot why I was upset.
I kissed her one last time before helping her downstairs to our drivers car. Brian grabbed the bags placing them in the trunk and we hugged one last time before I watched her drive away.
I walked back inside of the empty house and groaned. I haven't had free time in a while because I was filming for my new show 'Zoe' for over a month.
The house being empty was especially evident with the absence of the kids, who were at school.
But honestly even when they were home it could get boring.
They were teenagers now and although they loved to be with their parents they sometimes just wanted to be alone or with their friends. Which was understandable.

7:30 pm
I was in the kitchen cooking. I knew the kids would be home soon from their extracurricular activities. Mya had voice lessons every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday while Mazi had either soccer practice or a game, and Benji was still in basketball camp.
Brain was usually nice enough to pick them all up because even though two out of three of them have a license and a car, they're spoiled and hate driving.
Monica and I actually discussed turning in one of their cars and getting a new one for Benji when he turns sixteen because it's getting out of hand.
"Mama!" I heard Mya yell as she came into the house. "I'm in the kitchen."
I felt her arms wrap around me and I turned around to give her hug.
"What you doing in here?" She asked as Benji walked in and gave me a hug as well.
"I'm cooking dinner.." I said in a 'duh' tone just as Mazi turned into the kitchen. "Oh nah—I'm calling Mommy.." He said as he walked back out.
"Mama maybe we should order.." Mya said.
"Why are y'all always acting like I don't cook just because that one time y'all got sick?" I asked.
"Mama, we were fighting for our lives for like a week because of your cooking!" Benji whined and I glared at all three of them before turning the stove off.
"Fine! I won't cook. Mazi order pizza and get whatever else y'all want.." I said as I handed him my card.
I stared to walk out of the kitchen before u turned to my other kids. "Oh! And don't let Josie clean that up. Yall clean it up since yall had so much to say.."
"Mama come on.." They both complained followed by them sucking their until I turned around to look at them.
"That's what I thought.." I said before walking away to the living room.
After they ordered the food we all ate together and then parted ways to finish out our night. I went to shower and right after I checked on all the kids.
I left Mya for last so I could ask if she wanted to work on her music. I know she's been waiting since I left to film for my show. As I approached her door I couldn't help but eavesdrop on her conversation. I was a nosy mom before I was cool.
"I liked it but I don't know when I'll be ready to do it again.." I heard her say and my soul left my body.
"Boy you were not all that!" She laughed after a few seconds of silence.
I pray she's not talking about what I think she is. I decided to walk away from her door. That's what I get for eavesdropping now I'm on the verge of a heart attack.
I made it back to my room and gave up on helping her with music. I grabbed my phone and immediately dialed my wife's number.
"Hey baby.." She said as she answered with a wide smile. "Hey, my love.." I sighed.
"What's wrong? You sound stressed you out?"
"How'd you—" She cut me off and said, "I can tell by your face. It isn't relaxed...what's wrong bouj?"
"Did Mya come to you about sex?" I asked causing her to start coughing rather loudly.
"I mean we had that talk with her before." She said after the coughing subsided.
"I know but I thought she might have come to you separately. I know Mya and I are close but she'd never talk to me about stuff like sex.." I explained.
Mya would come to me about a lot of things but if it involved boys or sex I wasn't the mom for her to confide in. Not because I'd judge but because I had to admit I could be a tad overprotective.
But that wasn't just exclusive to her, I hold the same standard for all my kids. I didn't want them wrapped up in any relationship or sex at their current ages.
"You really think she's having sex right now?"
"I don't know but I just overheard her saying she enjoyed something but didn't know when she'd want to do it again and then said boy you were not all that'..."
"Well we did have a separate conversation a couple weeks ago about condoms but I told her to come to us if that's what she really wanted to do and she didn't.."
"Of course she didn't, she's sixteen..I didn't tell my mom a damn thing." I replied.
"As long as she's being safe, I think it's her choice to make." She said. "She's sixteen, Monica."
"When did you lose your virginity, Brandy?!" She fired back. "You have a point but I'm still not okay with it.." I groaned.
I hated that our kids were growing up but I loved it at the same time. Watching them grow into themselves and out time into their passions was such a blessing to watch.
I wanted my kids to think for themselves and make wise decisions but it pained me to know they were at the age where those decisions could led to things like sex.
"You can't judge our daughter based on a conversation that you assume is about sex! We can have a conversation with her when I come home, but until then I think you should leave it alone."
"I know. I'm just—why did they have to grow up?"
"I know I miss when they were babies but that's how life is and I think it's beautiful to watch them grow.."
"It really is. Everytime they have a little milestone I realize it more and more.." I trailed off. We continued our conversation and made sure her day was going okay.
We talked for a while on the phone before we hung up and I decided to go get Mya like I planned to before.
I knocked on her bedroom door and I heard her say 'come in' before I turned the knob and walked into her room.
"You wanna work on some music?" I asked. She smiled before nodded and grabbing her phone.
"Nae, ima call you back." She said.
"Wait—let me say hi to my niece." I said and she handed me her phone as she grabbed her song book.
"Hey, Auntie!" She smiled looking just like her mom. "Hey Nae. You good?" I asked.
"Mmhm— I miss y'all." She responded.
"Well, girl you live basically next door! You can come whenever you want." I laughed.
We wrapped up the conversation as Mya and I headed down to the home studio. She showed me the songs she wrote and I imported a beat for her to record over.
I let her do her thing and she went into the booth, killing it in one take. Her voice had matured so much in the short amount of time I was away.
"How was that mama?" She asked as she walked out of the booth. "It was great! I'm so proud of you. I really love how you were able to work on this by yourself. You're so talented.."
"Thanks mama.." She smiled and we hugged.
"You're welcome.."
"So can I put it out?"
"Well I want you to work with an actual producer so we can polish it and after that I don't see any reason why you couldn't.."
"Yay! Thanks so much mama!" She threw her arms around me and we stayed in the hug for a while.
"You're welcome!" I smiled as she pulled back and sat down next to me. "Now catch me up. What's the tea?" I said mocking her voice.
"Eww mama don't use my words.." She laughed.
"I'm being serious. What's been going on?"
"Nothing.." Her voice got higher just like her mom's when she lies so I already knew she was lying. I wasn't going to push though, I wanted her to tell me whatever it was on her own.
"If you're sure—" "—Well I've been talking to this boy but it's not serious.."
"Who is this boy?!" I asked. I could feel myself already sweating. Why are my babies growing up?
I watched as she scrolled on her phone and then turned her phone around to show me his picture.
"Him.." She smiled with her teeth practically on the floor. "And he goes to your school?" She nodded.
"Well you know mommy and I raised you as a princess so if he treated you any less than that then you shouldn't entertain him.."
"I know mama but like I said it's not serious." She replied and I nodded.
"Okay keep it that way. Don't get all wrapped up in one boy, you're young."
Look at me being a hypocrite. I met Monica when we were teens and even when I supposedly didn't like her, I did. I would've never thought the feeling I had in my teens would grow to this magnitude.
"I'm not..." She was still smiling wide. I knew that smile anywhere. It was safe to say this little boy has my daughter caught up.

"Mama do you like my fit?" I asked as I stood in front of her and Benji in the living room.
"You're what?!"
"My fit! Like my outfit.." I said as I gestured towards my clothes. "Oh, girl! I'm old you gotta say the whole word..but yes you look beautiful baby."
"Thanks mama!"
"Are you driving?" She asked and I shook my head, "No, Nae is.."
"Alright, tell her to drive safe.."
"Yes ma'am.." I smiled before walking towards the front door. I stopped myself in my tracks before walking back over to her and holding my hand out.
"What?!" She questioned as she slapped my hand. "Mmcht—I need some spare change." I put on my best pout and she rolled her eyes as she pulled out her wallet.
"Your limit is two thousand. Do not go over that unless you want to get a job and pay me back."
"Okay! I love you mama! You're the best.." I smiled and leaned down to kiss her cheek.
"Yeah, yeah.." She flagged me off before turning her attention back to the tv. I started walking towards the front for again until I felt myself trip over something and looked up to see Mazi holding his leg out.
"Watch out dwarf.." He laughed.
"You watch out, lanky ass!" I yelled backed causing him to laugh. "Shut up, ugly!"
"Your mother!" I yelled back while holding my middle finger up. I could hear him yelling mama's name to get her attention as I rushed out of the house.
I made my way to Nae's house and saw she was already in her car waiting for me. I tugged on her door handle causing her to look up from her phone and unlock the car doors.
"Naeeee!!" I yelled. "Myaaaaa!" She smiled back.
"Ugh—I missed you and I have tea.." She smirked. "What's tea?!" She pulled out her driveway and started driving towards the mall.
"Soo you know how I told you about the boy I went to see.." She started off and I nodded as she continued her story.
Basically, she's been talking to this guy who goes to our school. He's plays soccer with Mazi and I think they're actually friends but don't get me to lying.
"We might've did something.."
"Ew! Omg.. did what?!" I get my disgust building as I listened to her describe her first time.
Personally, I wasn't interested in losing my virginity any time soon. But we were two completely different people despite our closeness. Not to mention she was an entire year older than me. So it was normal for us to not be in the same pace in terms of many things which included our personal lives.
"Did it hurt?" I remember my mama telling me that sex was painful but I thinks he only said that to scare me because if it was so painful her and mommy wouldn't do it all the time.
Which is gross to even think about. Even thought I know it to be true because I've over heard them numerous times.
Am okay? No, but they pay for my therapy so it evens out.
"A little at first but after a while the pain felt good.."
"That doesn't even make any sense.."
"Honestly it won't until you lose yours. Which you shouldn't until you're ready by the way.."
"I'm not. It's not even on my mind right now. I was just asking about your experience.."
"I know but I don't what me telling you this to feel like I'm influencing you. Sex isn't all that but it should be saved for when you're ready.."
"I know Nae. I promise you're not influencing me." I replied sincerely.
Both of my moms always made sure to drill into us that having our own minds was power. I would never do anything because someone else was no matter how much I looked up to Nae lien an older sister.
That was her life and I had to live mine.
"Okay, good. I just want you u to be baby Mya for a little while longer." She laughed. "Oh girl, please! Acting like you're so much older than me."
