“It’s straight.” I smirked. “I can add a new trade under my belt and maybe start a business.”

“So, you’ll be a barber, truck driver and a carpenter.” She used her thumbs to massage the space behind my ears as she smiled down at me. “My little jack of all trades.”

“Technically I don’t have a CDL yet, so I’m not a trucker yet.”

“But you’re going to get one, we’ll manifest it.”

“Word, but I probably won’t ever drive them shits. I’m just getting it just in case. Feel me?”

“I do. I wouldn’t be able to handle you being gone for weeks at a time or thinking about you with those Lot Lizards.”

I laughed and asked, “fuck you know about Lot Lizards?”

“I know enough to be glad you won’t be around them.” She chuckled. “But seriously, thank you. We’d still be working if you, AP, and the security guards weren’t here.”

“You don’t gotta thank me, baby. I don’ told you that you ain’t got shit to worry about long as you got me.”

“What did I do to deserve you?”

“Be born,” I answered and she laughed. “I’m dead ass.”

“I know,” she simpered then kissed me. “Are you going to stay the night?”

“If that’s an invitation, yes.”

“You don’t need an invitation, Adonis.”

“Naw?” I grinned, pulling her into my lap so that she was straddling me. “Don’t tell me that because I’ll be in this pretty ass face every day.”

She blushed and tucked some of her hair behind her ear. “I wouldn’t be mad about that.”

“Aight, just remember that you said that because I ain’t gon’ forget the shit. When I fall through here gone off that Don, I don’t want to hear the shit. Just be ready to put that pussy on my face.”

“Shut up.” She giggled and climbed off my lap. “Come on, everyone’s waiting on us.”

Jru Baby: What do you think about these?

My brows furrowed as I studied the picture. It was some small ass black elephants and some plants.

Me: I don’t even know what this shit is baby.

Jru Baby: It’s décor, Adonis!

Jru Baby: For the hallway bathroom!

Me: Oh, it’s straight I guess baby. You got enough shit in there.

Jru Baby: This is for YOUR bathroom lol.

Me: In that case, no. I don’t want no fuckin’ elephants in my shit or flowers.

Jru Baby: I’m getting it and putting it in there.

Jru Baby: And you’re going to be happy about it.
