Everyday - Dave Matthews Band

Chibs POV

My phone woke me up, ringing for what seemed like forever. Flipping it open, I looked down at Mina, stirring, burying her face in my chest. 

"Aye?"

"Hey, brother," Tig sighed. "Wendy said we're good to go over to the house. Whenever we want to go, man."

I scratched my forehead, thinking it over. I didn't want to go there, I didn't want to see Wendy and the boys, I didn't want to stand in that house. "Okay, I gotta do somethin' first, so get over there around noon."

"Sounds good, brother," he sighed. "You feeling any better today?"

"Aye, I am."

He chuckled, "Good, glad to hear. Anything you want me to do before we go over there?"

I said, "Nah, I don't think so." Mina started waking up against me. "Gotta go, brother."

I watched Mina as she slowly opened her eyes and peered up at me. Her big, beautiful eyes I couldn't live without stared into mine. I leaned down, pulling her into a kiss. I could feel her lips curl into a smile beneath mine. She ran her fingers through my hair and down my neck to my chest. 

She chuckled, "Mmm, good morning," as she leaned back.

"Mornin'," I smiled. "I gotta get goin' soon."

"First day on the job," she said, running her fingers down my chest. "You ready?"

Shaking my head, I sighed, "Don't think so."

She leaned forward, kissing me again. "You're gonna do great, baby. I know it."

Mina was too good for me, she really was. I loved her more than anything, cherished her. She was the only person I wanted to be with forever. Every time she spoke it felt like the world fell silent; every time she looked at me it gave me tunnel vision, she was the only one in the world. Every time she touched me it felt like the world stopped turning and the only ones moving were us. She was my entire world and I wouldn't let anything touch my world.

Rolling me onto my back, Mina kept kissing me, holding my face. She laid on top of me, swinging her leg over my waist. I slid my hand down her side, wrapping my hand around her waist. She kissed my neck down to my collarbone before she put her head on my chest. 

I grabbed her hand, holding it next to her face. "How's the blueberry holdin' up?"

She laughed, turning her head up toward me. "More like raspberry."

"Apologies," I chuckled.

I leaned down to kiss her forehead as she said, "The raspberry's good."

I smiled, moving my hand down her side. "That's good."

"What're you guys doing today?"

"I dunno," I sighed, "Goin' to the house, get some of Jackie's sh*te. Maybe later, you and I can go to the apartment, start packin' that up. I wanna try to be out of there before the end of the month."

Mina asked, "Do you want me to go over earlier?"

"Nah, that's a'right." I kissed her again, pulling her up higher on my chest. "I gotta go, love."

She laughed, "Okay, Mr. President," as she rolled off me onto her back. I stood up and changed out of my sweats. "What time should I expect you tonight?"

I shrugged, "Four or five. Not too long." Turning towards her as I pulled my shirt over my head. "Why, ya plannin' a party?"

"No," she chuckled, standing up and heading toward the door. "Just wanna be ready to go when you get back."
