i walked in the house and threw my bag on the couch then walked into the kitchen.

i tripped over sumn by the table making me lean onto the wall for support,"who the hell-" i heard making me jump.

i looked towards the table and saw what i tripped over was journeys foot.

"what yo ass doing-?" i asked lifting the table cloth up and had to hold back my laugh.

there was a blanket underneath the table along with a computer and pillows.

sahari was fast asleep with a cheeto puff hanging out her mouth and her finger tips orange from them, while journey looked like she had just woke up and had a cover over her legs.

"really?" i asked looking at journey who shrugged and laid back down pulling the cover over her.

"girl get yall asses from under the table." i said and journey put the pillow over her head.

"niggas..." i mumbled shaking my head.
