Río

Feeling a vibration, I peek down to my phone in my lap.

*yo guess who just walked in to the restaurant yous at

*Lalo?

*Lalo

I look up from my phone to quickly search around the restaurant we're in. Not the best timing, but it'll due. Out of all places though, this cat comes here.. I am shaken out of my surveillance by soft fingertips caressing the top of my hand. 

"What'd you say baby?" I focus back to the sight before me.

"I said, am I boring you?" She laughs softly and rolls her eyes. But her sweet smile still adorns her lips.

Elizabeth looks breathtaking tonight. Cute blonde curls framing her soft face. She's wearing a blue knee length tight dress that makes her curves more prominent. Even though I appreciate those curves even in some leggings and my t-shirt. But she won't believe that.

"No not at all, just tired" I answer quickly.

"Oh! Do you want to go home? I told you we didn't have to go out to a restaurant" she sighs glancing down to her hands.

"No mama, I'm fine" I give her my signature side smile that always seems to send her thighs squeezing tightly together and squeeze her outstretched hand.

I know I didn't have to take her to this fancy restaurant but I figured we deserved some time for us. Especially after yesterday. Carman came and took the kids over for a weekend and Annie and Eddie were able to take Maya for a sleep over with their daughter, Millie.

And I damn sure needed a little alone time with my girl after the week I've had.

On Wednesday the kids had a day off, some teacher work day. Elizabeth wanted to take the kids to the pool to have some fun since it's been oddly nice in Detroit but she'd been feeling sick. A stomach bug made it's way through the family the previous week and my girl, the loving, caring mother she always is, took care of everyone but herself. That was until she started to feel the bug her self. I had her stay home and offered to take the kids to the pool myself. Of course she cried about feeling bad about me going on my own and not being able to handle all 5 kids, so I called up Eddie and Demon and had them come with me.

It was all good, the kids were having fun; splashing in the water, playing games until we had a little pop up. I fuckin' hate pop ups.

"Rio!? My man!!"

I turn from my spot laid back in one of those lounging chairs to see one of my boys walking in to the pool area from the side gate. He's newer but he's been putting in the work so far.

"Aye what's good?" I lean up to get a better look at this cat. His eyes gaze goes over the pool with a small grin on his face.

"Awe nothing man, you know, just figured I'd let you know the last pickup went well. I had to lay some fuckers out man but they knew what was up" He finishes rubbing his hands together. Gaze slipping back down to the pool.

"A'ight bet, that's it?" I lift my chin slightly up. That's cool and all but what? You track me down to come tell me that? When I'm with my kids all my boys know not to fuck with me. That's one thing I don't play about.
