Capri Laurent

Small hands poked and prodded into dark skin. Ms. Babu voice playing into the quiet room.

Capri sighed to himself, glancing down at Sonnet who was actively using him as a jungle gym. Like any other morning Capri had made it his absolute mission to get some work done while Sonnet either clung to him like he wanted to be inside his skin or found himself busy doing whatever Sonnet thought needed his attention.

However right now only one of those things were happening. Sonnet wanting to be physically stuck on Capri.

"C'mon fats, we can cuddle and watch Ms. Rachel in a minute I gotta finish this." He huffed, wrapping his arm around Sonnet's small shoulders before going back to typing feverishly at his laptop. Last night after dropping the boys off Capri completely knocked out. He's surprised by that seeing he usually couldn't sleep much after working or even after just watching his son.

The sound of his phone buzzing made him glance at it and flip it over.

BM

I want to see my son.

Capri stared at the text for a second. A scoff and a lip smack followed before he flipped his phone over, screen down. He ain't have time for aggravating ass Yasmine. She could try again in 6 months like she always did.

After a half an hour Capri finally submitted his assignment and closed his laptop. Stretching his bones he stood up, leaning over to tuck pillows around Sonnet's little sides so he wouldn't fall out the bed.

With his parents gone to the shop the house was pretty quiet. Apparently Heaven had gone out with her friends on an earlier morning shopping trip. Too lazy to actually cook anything he quickly fixed himself a bowl of cereal and scrolled with his phone for a little bit.

Mid way through a bite of his Cap'n Crunch Berry his phone immediately started to buzz with group facetime call. Sighing as loudly as he possibly could he set his spoon down and answered.

"Hello?" He mumbled staring at the dark oak table he was sitting at.

Greg's locs showed at the top of his screen while he did whatever it was that Greg does, loud trap music playing from his side while Mei's phone was propped up showing his closet. And surprisingly Harlem was there too.

His phone propped up as well while he played his game. Hair wild and curly and lips bitten into his mouth.

"What y'all wanted?" Capri frowned moving his face out of the camera to take another bite of his meal. He definitely wasn't a fan of soggy cereal, unlike many he was raised with decorm.

"We gotta discuss this party our lovely new boy got us an invite to." Mei shrieked, despite him being deep inside his closet he was still loud as hell. Capri glanced up at Harlem who hadn't acknowledged what Mei said and was staring unblinkingly off camera.

"How'd he get us an invite?" Cap hummed, getting up to dump his milk out and clean up his area.

"Hell if I know, he just told me that it was happening tonight and to let y'all know." Mei shrugged holding up a slutty black top.

"Aye big baby, how you gonna be on the phone 'n ignore us." Harlem turned only his eyes and immediately catch Cap's. He stared for a minute before looking back at his game making Greg laugh and Mei into a human sound board.
