"hello?" i answered hudson's call.

"hey em, do you have plans today? i was thinking i could pick you up and take you out today? this time with your parents knowledge. you know i'm trying to get some points." he said.

"no actually i do have plans, i'm going out with a friend today. i'm actually just getting ready right now. maybe some other day?" i answered.

"oh yeah sure, have fun today." he hung up the phone. what the fuck? i swear he's bipolar, there is no way a person can be sweet one second and then switch up the next, just like he does.

"emery akhoki gam, rohi shofi." my step dad yelled. (emery your bother woke up, go see him)

"where is mom?" i yelled.

"emery smaee klam abooch!" mom yelled.
(emery do what your father tells you to!)

"but i'm getting ready! i told you i was going out, can't i get ready alone. in peace for once?" i sighed, already going to get zaid out of his crib.

"don't raise your voice on me young lady! be grateful that i'm letting you go out in the first place!" mom yelled. i didn't answer her, it would only encourage more yelling and destruction of our relationship.

"morning lil baby." i held zaid close to my chest and rocked him. "did you have a good sleep?" i kissed his head. "come on let's get you ready for the day, okay?"

i took him to take a shower, changed him, fed him and then relocated him to my room. i checked my phone and that's when i realized i have three missed calls from anastasia. i clicked on her contact and continued doing ny makeup."

"hey! i was beginning to think you were going to bail on me." she answered the phone.

"no no! it's nothing like that, i was just taking care of my little brother. i think i might be a little late on you, you might have to wait." i regretfully said.

"that's fine, i can wait." she simply replied.

"i'm so sorry." i sighed.

"hey you shouldn't ever apologize for being late, even if it's your fault. you have to own it, confidence is key. just straight up lie if you have to." she said.

"alright then." i laughed. "call me when you get here."

"i will, bye bye for now." she hung up the phone.

"bye bye?" zaid spoke.

why is he the cutest thing in this planet? why? every time he smiles i can't help but want to quash him up and kiss him all over his little face. and his cute little voice when he says random words or attempts to, i can't deal with this baby fever, i'm too young and he's practically my baby.

"she said bye bye!" i gestured with my hands and said in my zaid only reserved voice, and he did the cutest squeal and clapped his hands. "are you trying to kill me?" i scrunched up my nose.

i continued doing my makeup, but then anastasia texted that she was here. i told her she doesn't have to wait in the car, she can come in and hang in the room until i'm ready. she took me up on that, so i took zaid and headed to the door. "hi! how are you?" i gave her a side hug.

"i'm good, who is this little chipmunk?" she widened her eyes when she looked at him.

"this is zaid, my lil brother." i smiled. "come in, let's go to my room. i'm almost done getting ready, i just have to change and finish the last steps of my makeup."

"take your time." she said, sitting on the floor, right next to where i sat zaid. i still monitored what they did through their reflection in the mirror, but her being there allowed me to finish up faster. i looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, sighed and walked out. anastasia lifted her head and looked at me,"beautiful." she said with the cutest smile. i smiled back and i could feel my cheeks creating a natural blush, on top of the pink pigment i have on.
