Awake

Theme Song: "Lesson Learned" by Alicia Keys ft John Mayer

Omniscient POV

After hours of watching movies, documentaries, and terrible infomercials Winter finally drags herself upstairs. Before she does she doesn't neglect to look at the kitchen clock that's boasting a smug 5:30 AM. As much as she'd love to lie and say she only stayed up because of maternity insomnia she can't. She pushed her body to stay up in her state of exhaustion just to see when Laurent would come waltzing through the front door.

He left over 10 hours ago at 6:30pm the previous evening. Finally climbing in the huge lonely California King bed, she allows Lanmó to curl up on the other side. Her heart crumples as she cries herself to sleep. Finally crying herself into complete exhaustion she sniffles and sighs tiredly. Closing her swollen eyes, she finally fades to sleep.

"Aight, bruh get home safely. Lil mama finna kill ya ass!"

"Nah she probably sleep."

"Nah, knowing Winnie she probably tried to stay up for ya ass, but act like she ain't care." Placing the 3 empty 750mL Viper Venom bottles in the trash, Troy leans against his counter.

"Normally Bones I'd agree, but nah not this time."

"Nola, I just can't believe you got that booted up! That you let yourself go that far!"

"Bones, I said I know. I don't need to hear that shit from all y'all. I know I fucked up. I know I'm beaucoup lucky that I got a woman like Winter. I know I'm a fuck up. I know I'm shit at this relationship. All I can do is try to be better, if lil mama will let me. That's all I can say, bruh. I know you got a soft spot for Winter, fuck."

"Well then you should know I'm finna ride beaucoup hard for lil mama. That coulda been my fuckin wife, but she don't like light skinned dudes!"

"Troy Blackwell, I'll fuckin kill you! Today ain't the day for your shit. Look I know you say it's a joke, but I know you gotta thing for Winter. Stop fuckin with me, bruh." Staring at him, Laurent is deathly serious.

"Aight, aight! My bad, Nola. I know you down bad, but I ain't know I couldn't joke with you bruh!" Throwing his hands up, Troy apologizes.

"Cause it's not a joke, Troy. Man, I'm finna head home before I kill my lifelong best friend."

"Aight, lil daddy. I'll see you or y'all tomorrow at the board meeting?"

"As pissed as Winter is, she ain't finna miss that meeting. Not as much work as she done. Our profits and contracts ain't neva looked this good before her. And Lav is killin it with the new marketing and shit, so both them finna be there. To officially be added to the board members council."

"But if the board members are coming doesn't that mean Penny finna be there?"

"Who?"

"Penny Palmer?!"

"Kash?! Bruh you a fuckin idiot!" Guffawing, Laurent slaps Troy's shoulder. "You hell, bruh!"

"Can't stand his ass!"

"You and me both. I forgot that, but I ain't worried 'bout his bitch ass."

"Yeah, but you know his desperate ass finna be all in Winter's face. Pregnant or not."

"And I'll kill him, chairman or not."

"Easy killa! Get ya ass home and make up with my wife. I, uh, your wife. YOUR wife!"

"Troy!"

"Nola, I'm sorry you know I gotta fuck witchu!"

"Man fuck you, Bones!"
