I double checked all of our bags before letting Frank put them on his truck. We're going to the other place for about a week. We'll celebrate the 4th there and Cyrus' first birthday.
I'm wearing the shirt Dream made me, I paired it with some black high waist shorts. I don't know why but right now, I feel great. Every time I look at Cyrus is bittersweet though. He look so much like a mix of Von and Jade. I still can't believe Jade said he died.
Frank got the kids in the truck as I double checked everything. I locked the doors then got in myself.
"Girl I love this top.", I said smiling back at Dream. She smiled and opened her mouth to talk but was cut off by Frank.
"She made that? I know yo' shirts bet not look like that.", he said glancing at her as he pulled off. She silently mocked him and I silently chuckled before turning back around.
...
We pulled up and it looks even bigger than before, I probably just don't remember. Once the car stopped Dream hopped out and ran to the door. She took her leg out her pocket and opened it. An alarm went off making her jump Frank ran up the stairs to the door and went in. It went off shortly after.
As I got Cyrus out the car I saw him holding her and bouncing her. As I got up the stairs I heard her crying hard but low. "It's ok baby.", I heard Frank say. "I'm here. It's ok." I found him sitting on the stairs with her. They both looked up at me when Cyrus made a noise. Dream got up and slowly walked to me with her hands to her chest. She laid on my chest as she cried. I kissed her head and rubbed her back.
"Come on let's go sit down.", I said to her softly. We walked to the living room and sat in the couch. She laid on my lap and I ran my fingers through her braids.
She calmed down and eventually I heard snores. Cyrus is asleep too. Frank is in the process of putting his pack and play up to lay him in there.
When he was done he laid him in there and laid Dream on the other couch. I stood up and stretched, when I was about to sit back down Frank grabbed my hand and softly pulled me out the living room to the kitchen. "He.", he said handing me something that look like a tablet. It's a bunch of small screens on here, looks like the inside of the house. "It's cameras everywhere except the bedrooms and bathrooms.", he explained clicking the strewn showing me to to work everything.
I nodded and I went through it. "I'll help you bring the bags in.", I said as I sat it down.
"I already did that, you can pick you room though. Come on." I followed him to the elevator, we got in but he didn't press a button. "You want the 4th floor?", he asked looking at me.
"Nah give it to Dream.", I said. He chuckled as he pressed the L.
"She told me to give it to you. I'll give you a tour before taking you to pick a room. You can help me decide what to do with all these rooms too. It look a little empty but, when we get it together it's gone be nice." The elevator doors opened and we walked out. It's a big ass basement with a built in bar.
"I can see this being like the hang out spot or family room." I walked around showing him where we can out stuff and what we should get. "What's the budget for the house?", I asked as we got back into the elevator. He looked on his phone at the cameras before clicking 2.
"It ain't no budget.", he said glancing at me. I looked at him confused. "I move work from time to time for my uncle, with a nice payout. He left money when he gave me the house. I still work, I just took off this summer cause I had Dream and ian fuckin' with my ma no more. Imma start working again when school start." We got off the elevator and went to a room.
"What happened with your momma?"
"You remember she had Dream?" I nodded. "She was abusing her and ain't nobody know until she left marks on Dream. She was too scared to say something. After the shit she been through with her momma then for her grandma to turnaround and hurt her again. I ain't never letting that little girl out my custody. Barely let her out my sight."
...
Frank on the grill, Dream's laying on a blanket on the grass reading a book, and I got Cyrus on my lap playing with him. I can't lie I could get used to this.
This house got 12 bedrooms, plus the mini apartment on the fourth floor, 15 bathrooms, game rooms, a pool, further down on the land it's a little pond with fish. I k ew this house was big but damn. I never got a tour last time so I didn't know it was like this. I definitely could live here. And that kitchen, I could cook forever in it.
As Frank closed the grill I gave him Cyrus so I could go check in the sides. Everything is mostly done, just got out the beans in the oven. I think Frank got the last steak on the grill too.
I went back outside and watched Frank as he sat next to Dream holding Cyrus reading them a book.
I know we are t a thing but, I could see us getting back together one day and maybe having some more kids. Maybe one day down the line. Yeah we fuck now, but it seems like that's all it is.
