"Can't believe they get to go to fucking Dubai while I'm stuck here" I grumble as I unlock Precious and Grey's front door before tipsy stumbling inside with a drunk Maeve in my arms.

"Oh shut up" Darius drunk self said as he collapsed on the couch in the living room.

"Yeah!" Maeve said, too loudly for my ears before giggling like crazy as she shifted in my arms. I only stared down at her before I shook my head.

"Bedtime ma'am" I told her and carried her upstairs as my older sister and brother collapse on random pieces of furniture.

"I'm not..tired" she says but I ignore her. I carry her to her room and lay her down on the soft bed.

"Yeah yeah take your cute ass to sleep" I say, covering her up in the covers.

"Divine" Maeve called out to me making me stop at the door and look at her.

"Thank you for coming back" she mumbled making me smile softly. "Anytime princess" I say and close her room door shut before heading downstairs to check on drunk one and two.

"Aye come on go to bed" I say smacking Darius's back as he snored loudly on the couch.

"Get the fuck up Darius" I say smacking him again. He groaned and woke up before falling off the couch.

I rolled my eyes and decided to just leave him there. I grabbed Maeve a bottle of water and some pills before going to her room to set it on her nightstand.

She was back asleep with soft snores leaving her lips. I smile and kiss her forehead softly before leaving the room to head into mine.

"Fucking shit" I groan, taking that wretched dress off of me and collapsing on my bed. It wasn't long before I was passed out asleep.

It was close to one in the afternoon the next day when I finally decided to get up and get ready for the day. I took a shower and just put on a hoodie and some boxers.

"What's up family" I say when I walk into the kitchen to see Darius making a hangover concoction while Christina was sleeping on the kitchen counter.

"Hungover" He mumbles and smacks Chris's arm to wake up. He handed the drink to her and she quickly drowned it before scrunching her face up at the taste.

"When are you going back home?" He asked me making me looked at the date on my phone.

"In three days" I say making him nod.

"I got greasy food" Brandon said busting into the house with four brown bags of food. Darius and Christina rushed over grabbing two of the bags while Brandon handed the last two bags to me.

"For you and Eve" he says and walks into the kitchen, munching on some fries from his own bag.

"Thanks" I take the bags upstairs to see Maeve drinking the water and taking the pills that I left her.

"Hey food?" I say offering one of the bags to her.

"Yes please" she mumbles before tearing the bag open. She takes a fat bite out of the burger before moaning in delight.

"Let me take you on a date today" I then ask after a few silent minutes of both of us eating our food.

"A date?"

I hum in response and she smiles at me. "Sure I'll love to" she says and I smile big. I lean forward capturing her lips in mine making her melt against me.

"You are so beautiful" I mumble softly against her lips making her let out an adorable giggle.

"I am not"

"You are"

She shakes her head. "I'm hungover with bed hair and greasy food all over my lips."

I make her look at me before shaking my head. "You always be beautiful in my eyes no matter what Maeve"

She blushed and pushed me away making me smile once more.

"You always got to make me blush" she grumbled.

"Oops" I say with a goofy smile on my face.

"Can you believe we leave soon?" She then asks making me sigh lightly and nod. "I been enjoying my time with my siblings again. I missed them" I mumble.

She sends me a soft smile and runs a hand through her messy bed hangover hair.

"They missed you too. I remember when you left for New York, your sister use to always call me crying about missing you."

I look down at the bed as my eyes start to burn with tears. "I regret that day with every living fiber of my body." I say.

Maeve grabs my face gently in her hands before lifting my head up to look into her eyes. "I know you do baby and you have every right to"

I give her a small tight lipped smile before wrapping my arms around her waist softly. We both finished our food already so I pull her closer and bury my face in her chest.

"Your boobs are so comfortable" I mumble making her chest vibrate as she laughs.

"You get on my nerves" she comments making me smile against her.

"I know"

We stay like that for a moment before I pull away her warm body. "Come on I want to go somewhere"

"Where are we going?" She asks me but I don't respond. Instead, I tell her to hurry up and get dressed before leaving her room to head into mine.

I got dressed in orange halter top and low rise cargo pants. I scratched my head and sighed putting my braids in a ponytail.

"Divine my stomach hurts" Eve said as she walked toward me.

"Here baby" I lifted her sundress up some and rubbed her stomach softly before placing a soft kiss on it. "You okay my love?"

"Thank you"

I hummed in response and kiss her belly again before rubbing the skin softly once more. She sighs in delight before laying her head on my shoulder.

"Quick nap?" I ask her. I wasn't going to be going asleep seeing how I needed to set her surprise. But she didn't need to know that.

She nods and we head to the bed, laying down with her in my arms. She breathes softly before closing her eyes. I waited until she was asleep before I slipped out of her hold and out of the room.
