"Bruh...be careful with my stuff" I complained as my brothers helped me pack up my dorm after I had FINALLY graduated, now a "big girl" from what Derick says.

"Huey I'm about to throw this box at her head" "Yeah, all that complaining while not helping" Aiden and Grayson complained.

"I'm not complaining, y'all are just dumb, and Huey won't do anything, he loves me" I smiled while hugging the man who's currently sacrificing his weekend to help me move my stuff to our penthouse.

"Mhm," he hummed while kissing my lips before picking up a pretty heavy box without a struggle, a nice sight to see as I gawked at the man's flexed arms.

Once my stuff was all in the car I hugged everyone.

"Thank you" I smiled, knowing that I was about to ask for us to get food before leaving, everyone else agreeing to come by tomorrow to the penthouse to see us and to hang out.

"You already know we're getting food," Huey rolled his eyes "Well damn, you make it sound like all we do is eat," I say, a knowing silence falling onto us before I nodded "Yeah makes sense".

So as discussed we had gotten food, talking about later plans on the way home, especially because I had about four weeks to myself before I started at my new job.

Time skip
Once we got home we had put up most of my stuff before knocking out, but currently, everyone was over, food covering the countertop.

"Our baby's finally grown up," Amani cheered as Cindy and Brooklyn stood with us.

"I know, it feels like just yesterday we were skipping class together," Cindy smiled while hugging me "Yeah I'm still shocked that we never really got in trouble for that".

As we talked and reminisced I was so happy to see everyone, even grandad who couldn't seem to stop smiling and congratulating me.

"Anyways y'all got anything planned before you start work?" Elijah asked, but it seemed like he and everyone knew the answer but me.

"Yeah actually," Huey smiled, looking over at me as I looked at him, obviously confused.

"We do?" "Yeah, but we'll talk later"

Man, I'm a weak woman, the tone in Huey's voice made me accept without even asking further, but that could also be because his hand was right on my lower back, his thumb rubbing against me.

But anyways as we talked with family and friends, I realized how much we've all grown, especially Riley because his dumb ass just got a realtor's license, and he and Cindy were doing well ever since.

Things were going well and it was obvious that they'd just keep getting better from here, for me and everyone else.
