Tommy Egan Imagines

Welcome Back Baby

    I jump up from my sleep sweating from another nightmare. Since I've been back in New York I've had nightmares about the shooting from years ago. I had these same nightmares while I was away but they weren't so frequent. I pick up my phone reading the time, 6:30 am, the perfect time to wash up and start breakfast for the family.

  After my shower, I throw on a pair of shorts and a crop tee to match. I threw my natural curly hair in a high bun and my glasses since I didn't wanna be bothered with contacts this early.

  Leaving the guest room of my brother's penthouse I round the corner to the kitchen. I open the fridge pulling out eggs, bacon, and milk for the pancakes. I look at the clock on the wall seeing it read 7:10 am, leaving me thirty minutes to prepare breakfast.

"Good morning Auntie Liyah," Raina said scaring me.

"Shit!" I yell burning my finger on the hot pan.

"Sorry," Raina says laughing

"Good morning. Care to help?" I asked handing her the bowl of pancake mix.

"I think I'll chop the fruit." She says opening the fridge.

"I missed this," I tell her remembering the times we would cook together in the kitchen when she was younger.

"I've missed you. It's nice having someone to talk to other than mom." She says slicing strawberries. I smile loving the bond Raina and I are recreating. It's been hard being away from the twins and my brother but I'm so happy to be back.

"Smells good in here!" Tommy says walking into the kitchen.

"Morning Uncle Tommy," Raina says handing him a piece of bacon.

"And this is why I love you." He says taking the bacon.

"I'm gonna go set the table," Raina says taking the tray of fruit to the dining table.

"Good morning Aaliyah," Tommy says leaning against the counter beside me.

"Good morning Thomas," I say flipping the last pancake.

"What you doing later." He says staring at my ass. I laugh making him avert his gaze from my ass.

"Nothing why?" I ask stopping to talk.

"I'm taking you out for lunch." He asks stepping a bit closer so we're almost face to face.

"Tommy I-" Holly says walking into the kitchen.

  I take a step back putting space between us but Tommy doesn't move a muscle.

"What?" He asks taking another piece of bacon.

"Can you save some for everybody else? Damn." I say taking the plate of bacon to the table.

"Why were you standing so close to her?" I hear Holly ask.

"Why you busting my balls," Tommy says back.

"Well, it looked like you two were having fun in here." She says crossing her arms.

"Go take a seat I'll be there in a minute." He tells her walking away.

  I walk back into the kitchen grabbing the orange juice and the rest of breakfast. There's an awkward silence as Holly watches me take plates of food and glasses from the kitchen to the dining room.

"What's up Auntie Liyah? Smells good in here." Tariq says sitting down at the table.

"Where's your parents," I ask
