-living the sweet life-

chapter 23

Ashley's p.o.v

i keep tossing and turning struggling with falling asleep. i dont know if its because of brittany calling damarcus manipulative, or if its because for a second i thought there might be a possibility. but i know damarcus loves me and only wants whats best for me. 

i check my phone and its 4 a.m in the morning. "mmm babes whats that light." damarcus says starting to wake up. "aww im sorry i didnt mean to wake you up. dont worry just go back to sleep. " i run my finger through his hair and roll over facing my back towards him. i close my eyes and try to fall asleep

-----

i wake up to the bright sun in my face. i turn around to find damarcus not there anymore. i hear the bathroom door open and damarcus walks in with a towel wrapped around his waist with water dripping down his body. "morning queen. " damarcus walks over to me kissing me. "i was gonna invite you but i couldnt bring myself to wake you out of your sleep, you just looked to peaceful." he smiles showing his beautiful white teeth.  

"its okay i guess ill just take a shower now, all by myself." i get up slowly and start striping. 

he starts walking closer to me and wraps his arms around my lower back. "well, all of a sudden i feel dirty again, i might need to take another one." he kisses down my neck. 

"well if you insist " i run into the bathroom and wait for him. 

*time skip*

"any plans for today?" damarcus ask me from the bed room. i finish washing my face and start stylying my hair. "nothing besides preparing the guess bedroom for jakire." i hot comb the front of my hair flat and put it in a middle part. 

"oh is that tomorrow?" damarcus ask. i glare at him then perfect the part. "youre kidding right? you said you wouldnt forget. " 

"im kidding im kidding. how could i forget when you keep stressing about him." damarcus chuckles. "aww bae im sorry i just really want him-"

"i know i know 'you want him to like me'. i want him to like me as well, actually im excited to meet him." i walk into the room and start getting dress. "really? youre excited to meet him." i put on a baby pink jumpsuit with the word queen written across the chest. 

"of course i am, hes your brother after all. i think you brought me a similar jumpsuit want me to wear it? so you know we can match." he looks down at me and smiles. "sure, here." i hand him it, its exactly like mine but its red and has the word king. 

hes puts it on. "alright be honestly....is red my color or is red my color." he smirks looking at himself in the mirror. "ye red is definitely your color." i laugh and he picks me up. 

"queen how about i help you clean the house and prepare the guest room. it will take some of the stress off your back. " he smiles and kiss my forehead. "that would be great, thank you king~"

damarcus carries me downstairs and i see terrel and brittany cooking in the kitchen. "how hard is it to correctly cook eggs??" terrel says laughing throwing the burnt eggs away. "im sorry they just keep sticking to the pan. " 

"how about i cook the eggs and you cook the bacon okay?" terrel cracks eggs into a bowl and seasons them. "goodmorning brother." damarcus says to terrerl. i smile and wave at both off them. "yo, how you want yo eggs."

"scrambled will be fine. and if im correct, two fried eggs for damarcus egg whites only." i say smiling. "you are correct."

"i already knew damarcus' hes been getting his eggs the same way since we were kids." terrel chuckles. i jump from damarcus arms and walk over to brittany. "anything i can help with."

"sure you make great pancakes so i guess you can make those." brittany says placing strips of bacon onto the pan. 

"ill go get started on cleaning queen." damarcus says walking off. "have fun."

"yall look cute in your matching sweatsuits" brittany says elbowing me then smirking. "yea we do" i smile and get starter on the pancakes. 

some time goes by and terrels finishes with the eggs and start making damarcus'. the rest of us just wanted scrambled.  

damarcus walks back into the kitchen and i start putting the eggs on the plates while watching the pancakes. "okay so i finished cleaning the living room area. " he says walking near me and smiling. 

"you fluffed the pillows?"

"yup."

"sweep the floors?"

"indeed i did"

"clean the windows?"

"babe i did everything that needed to be done. may i remind you that ive been living here wayy before you have. i got this. " he kisses me on my forehead then goes back to cleaning.

"yall getting ready for jakire to come?" terrel ask sitting in one of the bar chair around the island. "yup, everything has to be perfect." 

"man i wish i could help." terrel says in a sarcastic manner. "ye ye ye come over here and put the pancakes on the plates theyre done." i turn the fire off and plate damarcus egg. 

"so after this you going to meet up with keyon?" brittany ask plating the bacon after terrel. "yup right after breakfast were going to hang out then get drinks later." he replys. "when are you gonna spend time with me ~" brittanys says in a baby voice. i shake my head and laugh at them then walk upstairs to wake everyone up. 

*after breakfast*

"now that hit the spot, i was famished~" Sebastian says putting his dishes in the sink. "ye i agree yall really put yall foot in this." tiffany says laughing grabbing the rest of the empty plates and putting them in the sink. 

"alright lemme go clean the dishes" i get up and pick up the sponge wetting it. "woah woah woah, here let me." damarcus says taking the sponge out my hand and starts washing dishes. "okay then ill go vacnum the carpet. "

"naw dont worry i got that too." he looks at me for a second then goes back to washing. i arch an eyebrow. why does he insist on doing everything, i mean it is a relief but alittle strange. 

"okay then ill go clean up our bedroom." i say putting my hand on the counter. "okay. can you make sure to fluff my pillows extra, last time you forgot too and my neck started to hurt. thank youu." he finished the dishes and put them in the drying rack.
