Valentina

A few days after Junior was released from the hospital, we left Hawaii and went back to LA.

I really want August to live with us but I still kinda have trust issues that I have to overcome due to the last incident that happened, and he did have a girlfriend at the time he was in the hospital.

I don't know.. I just want to take things slow this time around and hopefully August understands.

Right now we were just getting off of the plane. We walked outside to look for my security guard Joe, and there he was standing in front of the car door waiting for us to arrive. I gave him a big smile.

"Hey Joe!" I said while giving him a side hug.

"Welcome back Mrs. Alsina," he replied.

"Papa Joe!!!" Shayna and Junior said while jumping up on him and giving him a hug.

August went up to Joe after the kids gave him a hug. "Wassup mayne."

"Good afternoon Mr. Alsina."

"I just want to thank you for taking care of my family," August said.

"Well it is my job sir."

August sighed, " Well thank you anyways."

Joe just nodded his head and put all of our bags into the car then drove us home.

..........

"It feels so good to be home," I said as I walked into the house enjoying the sight, the smell, and the feel of how I left the house.

The kids fell asleep in the car so August brung them to their room and put them in their beds while I went to my room and threw myself on my bed.

I took a deep breath and when I released that breath it felt like all of the stress and negativity left my body.

I closed my eyes just lying there on my bed until I felt the bed dip so I opened my eyes and seen that August was on my bed.

"There are plenty of guest rooms around here," I stated while looking at August.

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Ok, good for them damn guest rooms because I'm sleeping in this room."

I laughed, "You really tried it. Just because we had one kiss doesn't mean we're back together. I'm still not used to you being around me and plus I want to take things slow and if you really want to make things work with me then you're going to have to respect my wishes and find a guest room to sleep in."

He put his hands up showing that he's surrendering. "Okay. Damn. I hear you. I'll go find a guest room to sleep in."

After he got off of the bed, I spread out across the mattress and got comfortable. "Thank you very much. I'll see you in the morning."

"Mhmm.. whatever. Good night," he said making me laugh.

"Good night."

Then he left out the room and after a couple of minutes I feel asleep.

..........

I woke up to Shayna shaking the shit outta me and repeating "Wake up mama" over and over again.

I finally opened my eyes and turned towards her. "Wassup princess? What's going on?"

"It's happening again to Junior! Help him please!" she cried to me.

I jumped out of bed and was about to run into the room where Junior sleeps in until I saw him standing in front of my room door.

"Shayna, Junior is right here?" I said confused.

She turned around and saw him then she ran and gave him a hug. "Don't scare me anymore brother."

"What are you talking about? Nothing happened to me. I think you were dreaming that something happened to me because I heard you moving around in your bed and saying my name over and over again and then you just took off running to mama's room," Junior explained.

"Huh? I dreamt it?" Shayna asked.

Junior nodded his head.

"It's okay that you have bad dreams princess. It just means that you are worried the same thing might happen to your brother again, but we're gonna make sure it doesn't happen again, okay?" I told Shayna.

"Okay mama.."

"What's going on?" August said tiredly standing behind Junior.

"Shayna had a bad dream that I got hurt again daddy," Junior explained to August.

He then looked at Shayna with concern and bent down to be on her level. "Is that true beautiful?"

"Yes.." she replied.

He pulled her into a hug, "Aww my poor baybeh. You wanna sleep with me so you can feel safe."

She smiled, "Yayy! Sleepover in daddy's room!"

I laughed, "Well I have work tonight so don't party too hard."

"We won't mama," Shayna replied.

"Well can I sleep in your room mama?" Junior asked.

"Of course son," I smiled while leading him to ny room.

"Good night everyone," I yelled out before I closed my door.

"Good night!" August and Shayna yelled out at the same time.

I got in the bed with Junior laying right beside me.

After a minute of us just laying here Junior decided to ask me a question.

"Mama?"

"Yes.."

"Are you and daddy going to get back together?"

He kinda caught me by surprise when he asked me that. "Ummm... we're working on it. But trust me, I am looking forward to getting back with your father."

"Okay, good night mama.." he said then put his head back down to go to sleep.

"Good night Junior.."

..........
