"Awww look at him guys he missed me," I said pointing the camera at Chris while he was driving towards my house.

"I did, she left me for a whole week." He sniffed wiping a fake tear.

"See I have to snatch his soul just for being this cute," I mumbled while he smacked his lips.

"Now I have to cut that out." He glanced over at me.

"Why? Keep it in." I shrugged.

"Point the camera on me I wanna say something." He said and I did as told.

"She left me for a whole week, y'all know how hard that is? We together 24/7 I couldn't sleep at night just because she wasn't there. Oops, I'm not supposed to say that now your mom gon know I'm creeping through your window even without permission." He held his hand in front of his mouth.

"Why would you climb through my window when you have permission ?" I looked at him confused.

"You right you right." He nodded and I shook my head at him.

"Baby when we get home we need to start on an introduction video for our channel, I wanna start as soon as possible," I told him and he nodded.

"Aight I got like 2 hours left before practice with your uncle." He said.

"Good," I said while checking my phone, I checked my emails and chewed on my bottom lip.

I'm really thinking hard about what I want like I always wanted to be a doctor or a nurse because I like to help people, but I also want to paint and have my own gallery.

I'm debating if me studying is the right thing for me to do, cause it doesn't take me away from the real world.

When I paint I feel like I'm in my own world at peace.

"What you thinking about over there ?" Chris snapped me out of my thoughts.

"I was just checking my mail," I mumbled.

"Mmm, you good ?" He placed his hand on my thigh rubbing circles.

"I'm good, just thinking about college and if I still wanna do the same thing." I shrugged.

"What you mean? You changing your studies ?" He asked glancing at me then back at the road.

"I kinda wanna do more with painting." I chewed my bottom lip.

"Like what ?" He asked.

"A gallery, teaching kids, I just love painting and I don't want to give up on it once I become busy with the nurse or doctor life," I told him.

"You can perfectly do both baby." He said.

"I know but I don't wanna do both I wanna do one of them now with the baby coming, I just don't know yet." I sighed.

"You can be whatever you want baby, you just gotta believe in it." He said and I nodded, he was right.

And art might be the thing I want for real.

"I might be considering focusing on art." I shrugged.

"But lemme ask you this, why you came up with that idea now? I thought you wanted to be a sports doctor ?" He asked confused.

"I always thought art wasn't a real job you know, then I thought why not? And since we've been together we have been painting a lot together and I feel like my passion only became more than before." I explained and he nodded.
