STAY - PAUL GEORGE

21

Julianna Coley

I woke up to the smell of pancakes and eggs, and as I looked towards the other side of the bed, I noticed Paul wasn't there. Assuming he was in the kitchen, I grabbed a new set of clean clothes, brushed my teeth, and showered. I smiled as I finally got to unwrap the pair of Gucci slides Paul had surprised me with last week. He was truly something else. With my morning routine out the way, I headed downstairs and heard Olivia and Paul laughing.

"Daddy, stop!" Olivia yelled as Paul was tickling her sides. I smiled, standing in the corner, not wanting to disrupt their moment.

He then picked her up and pretended as if she was floating in the air, which caused Olivia to yell hysterically. "C'mon, baby girl, let's finish making breakfast for Julie before she gets up. She's been a sleepy monster lately," Paul joked; I chuckled quietly, as I finally walked up to them both.

"Olivia, was he talking bad about me?" I said jokingly to her, and she nodded while sucking on a lollipop.

"He's mean he doesn't want to buy me a barbie house," She pouted.

Paul chuckled," Girl, you have plenty. You have like 5 of them houses that you don't even use!"

I laughed, finally heading over to Paul and giving him a quick kiss cause I know how Olivia gets when she sees PDA. "My eyes!" she yelled, running towards the living room where we were out of sight.

"How'd you sleep," Paul asked as he began rubbing up on my booty.

"I slept well; it would've been better if I woke up and saw your face lying next to me," I teased.

"I was making you breakfast, baby; I wanted to treat my queen; you deserve the best of the best, and it's my job as your man to give that to you," He stated as he flipped one of the pancakes.

"And you have been doing that like just last week you bought me some slides that are worth a fortune, and every day you treat me like the gentleman you are. You're truly a blessing, and I don't take you for granted at all," I stated. I was truly in awe of this man, and every day that passes, it seems that I fall more in love with him.

"Look who's getting corny now," He said, giving me a peck on the cheek, "But for real, I love you, and I love what we have right now. Making breakfast for a girl, I mean woman, I've never done that before."

"I'm glad we on the same page, baby," I spoke out, sitting on the island watching him finish up with the pancakes.

"Now fill me up on the tea. What's up with Melo and Cynthia?" Paul asked me suddenly as he began to portion out the pancakes for the three of us. He cut up Olivia's pancakes and cut up fruit on the side of her plate along with filling her cup with apple juice and writing on a sticky note an inspirational quote that said, "you are powerful, beautiful, brilliant, and brave."

Say all you want about Paul on the basketball court, but off the court, he's an amazing dad who is raising such a beautiful girl in Olivia.

"Hey?" Paul waved at me because I zoned out

"Shoot! Ya, I'm good," I reassured him.

He laughed as he called over Olivia over to eat. She couldn't leave the Ipad out of her hands, "Liv come eat and put the Ipad down, we gonna sit and eat like a family," Paul explained to her, and she obeyed.

"But daddy, can I go to my room first so I can charge it?"

Paul nodded his head as Olivia ran back to her room. I glanced over at Paul, who was already staring at me, "Whatchu looking at?" I teased as he was still in a trance.

"Don't make me act up, girl, you're beautiful," He spoke out while I was caressing his cheek.

I gave him a quick peck on the lips as I heard Olivia's footsteps approaching. "Julie, can we play Barbie together after?"

I smiled immediately, "of course we can, sweetie."

She smiled excitedly, "Finally!" she clapped her hands, "Daddy is boring to play with."

Olivia and I erupted in laughter. "Good one!" I said high fiving her.

Paul just looked at the both of us with a serious look rolling his eyes, "Guess daddy's going to have a big breakfast all to himself," he teased.

"Noooooo," Olivia whined.

He then picked up Olivia and then me and softly threw us on the couch, tickling us. My cheeks were red. I kept trying to swat his big ass hands away, but I was powerless. "Pauly stopped!" I yelled along with Olivia, who was trying to use her legs to kick him.

He finally stopped and looked at us with a huge grin on his face now, "Now y'all know not to mess with me."

I whispered to Olvia that we were going to get revenge on him. "I'm not deaf!" Paul yelled.

I ignored him as Olivia I prepared our payback. We both suddenly instantly jumped off the couch and attacked him in tickles, but it failed horribly. This man wasn't affected at all. "You a robot?" I teased.

"Haha," He spoke out, "This prank was real cute but let's eat before the food cold," he told us.

My stomach growled, signaling me that it was time to eat. Even though my prank failed it still ended up being a good morning, and since I don't get to see Paul all the time because of his busy schedule, I appreciate it even more.

We said a prayer before digging into our food and enjoying each other's company.

I could get used to this.
