RAIN

•|FIFTY-ONE|•

"Mommy wake up."

I heard as I felt Maliq's fingers poking my cheek. I opened my eyes and sat up as I realized it was just us two.

"Where's everyone else?"

I said looking at the clock on the wall that read eight thirty p.m.

"Sleeping."

He said as he yawned.

"Looks like somebody is sleepy."

"Yep, but I just couldn't go to sleep until I said goodnight to you."

"Awww, goodnight baby. Let's go get you to bed."

He grabbed my hand and then we made our way upstairs until I remembered something.

"Did you guys eat?"

"Yea, Uncle Devon got us some pizza. Yours is in the microwave."

"Ok. Thanks for telling me."

"No problem."

After he crawled into bed I tucked him in then kissed his forehead, telling him goodnight again.

After leaving out of his room I went and checked on everyone else and they were knocked out. I even went into the guest room and seen Devon and Devon Jr. laid out on the bed.

I made my way back downstairs and warmed up my pizza and then ate it.
I cleaned up the little mess I made and then went to the backyard and sat at the picnic table I had back there just thinking.

I heard the glass door sliding open and I looked back and seen Devon.

"Why you out here so late?"

"It's not late it's only like nine something."

"Nah its two in the morning."

He said walking over to the table sitting in front of me.

"How was your day?"

"Well it was quite simple since I slept all day."

"You finally took a day off?"

He asked looking at me skeptical.

"Well I lost my job because of your psycho ass brother."

"Wait how?"

"He went to my job acting an ass."

"Damn. I'm sorry to hear that, do you need anything?"

"No, and besides I'm going to look for a job later on today."

"That's good."

"Yea. How was your day?"

"It was actually interesting."

He said with a huge smile on his face.
"What happened?"

"Well I sat in Loni's class and the girl was quiet the whole time since Maloni told everyone I was her dad."
