twenty seven

"Come on baby, get up" i whisper whilst gently shaking Ty.

"Five more minutes" she whines turning her face into my neck, cuddling me closer.

"Arayah, no" i push her off.

She grunts and sits up in my bed.

"All the way up" i crawl behind her and cuff her shoulders.

"How you want me to get up when you massaging a nigga?" She asks referring to my moving hands.

"Sorry. You gotta get up still. We have a lot to get done today"  I kiss the side of her forehead and slouch onto my legs.

"Mhm" she taps my thigh, pulling me around her and onto her lap.

"You said we. You done being embarrassed of me?" She joked

"Ray stop, I wasn't embarrassed"

"So you done hiding me?"

"You're famous so technically, you were hiding me" I giggle onto her lips closing our distance.

"To protect your boundaries but if it were up to me, the whole world would know you. They are gonna know you" she whispers closing the rest of the distance, putting her plump lips on mine.

I quickly pull back. "We have to get ready!"

She smacks her teeth and I get up from her.

"I already showered. You can shower. You want breakfast?" I ask putting in my earrings.

"No, I'm still full from your moms lasagna last night"

"Ole fat ass. Ate bout my whole pan"

"Tell your mom to make more than one pan next time"

"Right"

"That was still nice of her to invite us over yesterday. I hadn't had a home cooked meal by someone with a flappy arm, no offense in some time" she shrugs.

"Yeah I guess. You and Charlie eating all my damn food" i chuckle to her.

"Hey.. when will you go see your grandparents? I know you have to miss them and I know you miss them as well" I ask on a serious note.

She shrugs and walks into the bathroom. I leave her be. If she wanted to talk about her grandparents, she would.

"Mani, on a scale of 1-10, how mad would you be if Charlie & ya moms was dating?"

"Girl what?" I ask popping my head out of the bathroom.

"I got a theory though bae" she convinces while brushing her wild, suntanned hair into a slick bun.

I look to her, giving her my full Attention.

"So..?"

"I'll get back to you when I've collected all of my evidence" she says after not having anything to say.

"Mhm mhm. Come on, let's get a move on" I get up from the dresser and turning around to adjust my ponytail in the mirror.

"Say cheese" Ty encourages walking up behind me, gripping my waist to her and snapping pictures.

"Wait, let me fix my Bobby pin" I rush to fix my hair. I pull the Bobby pin out and rest it in between my lips while itching my scalp and placing it back. I exhale sharply at Ty'Elle who has been flicking nonstop.

Finally fixing my hair, I lean into the dresser and smile for her pictures.

"That's enough" I turn around facing her and fixing her eyebrows and she's still flicking.

"You're gonna use all of you storage up" I shrug and grab my purse, throwing it over my shoulder.

"Love you ma, we'll be back.  Just going out" I approach my mom, placing a kiss on her cheek.

"I don't know why you are so compelled to coming home. You grown. Speaking, you got a letter from your school" she points to the mail on the island.

"You didn't open it? I'm surprised"

"Please. I love you. Be safe and have fun" she encourages while pushing us towards the door.

"Thank you Ms. Tammy. Be safe"

We walk out of the door, immediately acknowledging the guard in the foyer. Ma didn't like him being here but with Miko still being out there, we have to be secured 24/7. Charlie wouldn't have it any other way.

"You driving?" I ask Ty'Elle.

"Yeah. Charlie on the way over here to watch Ms tammy" she shrugs.

"Ok" I nod.

"Evidence part 1" she tallies.

"They are not dating. Ain't he dating your assistant?"

"Who knows?" She replies cranking the car.

"Not you"

Approaching the same tall, windows everywhere, almost sky scraper from about a year ago, my palms start to itch.

"You nervous or something?" Ty asks averting her eyes to my moving fingers.

"Girl itching palms mean I'm about to get some money" i encourage confidently and biting to satisfy my itch.

"A lot of money then huh?" She raises her eyebrows being funny.

"Yeah. You must be about to pimp me"

"Maybe. You coming in for real?"

"Let's do this" i hold out my hand for her to grab it and she does.

"I don't see how you do that shit. That was tiring and it wasn't even me talking" i slump onto her couch as soon as we enter.

"Tuh, talk about it. All i did was talk and I'm drained" she sighs and kicks off her shoes and joins me on the couch.

"If you get naked, we can take a nap right now" I persuade, leaning into her ear.

"You don't wanna take a nap. You just want me to strip"

"No I actually do want to cuddle" I admit sitting up, following her with my eyes.

"What's the catch"

"Skin to skin Ty" I basically plead.

"Come on man" she gives in, waving her arm and making her way into the room.

"You still gonna strip?" I raise my eyebrows.

"Whatever makes you happy" she comments but is secretly excited for it.

I smile, watching her take her shirt off.

"Mhm hmm. Get naked" I exclaim, drinking her water.

"Bae, I just opened that"

"Sorry"

"Come on" she holds her hand out. I walk into her proximity, allowing her to remove my shirt and I undo my jeans.

"Just bra and underwear?" She asks breathing closely on my neck.

"Yeah"

After being strip naked, we decide on me being big spoon.

I rub her stomach from behind, kissing her back occasionally, allowing us both to fall into a deep, peaceful sleep.
