22 year old Aaliyah Mae Myers moved to Miami for a fresh start 4 years ago with her newborn son Mattheo James Myers. Moving from the uk to the USA was a lot for an 18 year old to deal with but she managed to do it.
Now she has a 4 year old who shar...
We have just got home. It took us a little longer than usual because of traffic. As soon as we walk into the door I start cleaning the apartment. It's not that messy but there are a few toys laying around and a few books off the bookshelf. I place everything into there allocated places and then walk into Mattheo'a room where he has been playing whilst I was cleaning.
"Hey baby, can we put a few toys you aren't playing with away please. We need to tidy if lando is coming round" I say. Mattheo looks at me "ok mamma, but can I keep a few out to show lando?" He asks. "Ok course baby, let's just put the once you aren't using away, ok?" I reply. Mattheo nods and then we put some of the toys away. "Do you want to help mamma make snacks?" I ask. His eyes widen and he smiles enthusiasticly. "Yes please mamma!" He says. I put my hand which he takes as we walk to the kitchen. He climbs onto his stool as I gave him a few things to do. "Do you want to make cookies or brownies" I ask.
He puts his finger to his chin as he thinks. "Let's make cookies!" He finally answers. I get all the ingredients out of the cupboard and then place them onto the counter. I measure all the ingredients with help from Mattheo and then Mattheo mix's it all together. Whilst we were still making the cookies I get a call from instagram. I look who it is and smile. I answer the phone.
Aaliyah: hey
Lando: hey Liyah. I have finished all of my work. Am I still ok to come to yours for a movie night?
Aaliyah: of course we are just preparing the snack . Is there anything specific you want?
Lando: surprise me. I'm sure I will love whenever you are preparing
Aaliyah: ok hopefully, it was Mattheo ideas to do these.
Lando: Ooo lovely. Anyway can you send me your address please.
Aaliyah: oh Yh I'll message it to you now
Lando: alright then. I will see you later.
Aaliyah: ok bye lan
Lando: see you in a bit, bye.
I hang up and then instantly send my address to Lando. Once I have done that I place my phone down and then help Mattheo finish what he is doing. Whilst I was on the phone he had mixed it all together so now we just need to add a few more chocolate chips.
"You did such a good job my love" I say. A huge smile appears on Mattheo's face. "Thankyou mamma. Are they ready for the oven now?" I nod and then place them in the already pre heated oven. I set a time on my phone and then carry on with the rest of the snacks. We prepare; strawberries, grapes,cookies,popcorn and lots more. Just as we finished adding everything on a tray the door bell rings. Mattheo was the first one to get to the door and try to open it but he can't reach the handle. I open the door and Lando standing there. We make eye contact. Blue is one of my favorite colours.It reminds me of Mattheo's eyes,the ocean, the sky. And those eyes. His eyes are like the ocean. His eyes are captivating, and hold a sense of mystery and beauty similar to the vastness and allure of the ocean and also the sky.
My cheeks heat up as I look away and then step to the side,inviting him in. "Lando you are here! You are actually here for a movie night!!" Mattheo says as he hugs Lando. Lando hugs him back and then says "of course I'm here. I wouldn't miss this for the world." Lando and Mattheo pull away from the hug and then Lando turns to me. "Hey" he says with a smile on his face. "Hey lan" I say. He walks closer to me and then gives me a hug. The hug was short lived because I heard the alarm for the cookies go off. I walk into the kitchen and the remove the cookies from the oven. They look so good. I place them onto if the oven to cool down and then I walk back to were lando and Mattheo were. They aren't here anymore. I check in the living room and they aren't there either. The last place I check was Mattheo's room. I walk in and see Mattheo showing lando all of his toys. "This is my favourite. It's your car. Well a mini version. Isn't it so cool! I have a few of these let me show you!" Mattheo gets up from where he was sitting and then walks towards his toys to get the rest of his McLaren collection of cars out. "These are all of them!" He says. "Wow they look so cool. You have so many. You are a very lucky boy." Lando says as he inspects one of the cars. "Yh I know my mamma is the best! She brought them all for me! I love her so much!" Mattheo says with a huge grin ear to ear.
I walk in the room and then they both turn around. "There you guys are. I didn't know where you went" I say. Lando gets up off the floor and then walks towards me. "Sorry, he wanted to show me his toys. I couldn't say no to him. I mean look at his face and tell me you could" he says. I laugh. "I have that problem every time he is in trouble,Which is very rare.I can't tell him off because of the look he gives me. It makes my heart melt." I say.
"Are you ready for the movie. All the snacks are on the table ready" I say. "Yes I am ready" Mattheo says as he grabs his McLaren mcl60 figure and then walks into the living room. "What movie are we watching?" Lando asks and he sat down. "Cars!" Mattheo says as the movie begins to play. "We watch this every other week. He is obsessed with it." I say as I sat next to Lando. I got comfy by getting a blanket and wrapping it over me. Once I was finally comfy, I started watching the movie.

Liked by LandoNorris and 7000 other Aaliyah_Myers:Saturday movie night tradition continues!
Half way through the movie I start to feel really tired. I try to fight to keep my eyes open but i don't think im going to win this battle. I look over at Mattheo and see his is still watching the movie. I don't understand how he is so interested in this movie when he was already watching hundreds of times. My eyelids drooped, heavy with weariness. The weight of exhaustion threatened to pull me into a deep sleep. I love the softness, the quiet, the sense of rest. My thoughts slow as I fall into a deeper sleep. The last thing I remember is my head falling onto a hard surface. I didn't bother moving it. I was too tired to even move and it was more comfortable the the position I was in before.
