Today I was flying out with my baby for the Time 100 Gala. I made sure we set our alarms last night so we didn't miss our flight, the alarm went off at five am and I got up to go take my shower. When I got out I got dressed in a white sweatsuit and put on some tennis shoes. I combed out my hair and put on a hat, I grabbed my suitcases and pulled them down the stairs. I went in the kitchen to make me something to eat which consisted of toast, eggs and some avocado. I FaceTimed Taraji while I sat at the table to eat, she answered on the last ring.
"Hey baby- why are you making that face?"
"Because why did you answer on the last- are you still in bed!"
"I am."
"I set your alarm myself and you're a light sleeper so I know you heard it."
"I did and turned it back off, I'll be up at 6:30."
"Alright I'm on my way over there don't worry about it." I hung up the phone, she about to get her ass up. I had a feeling she didn't even pack last night. I finished eating and went to wash off my plate when Mike came into the kitchen.
"Wassup ma Tasia."
"Good morning."
"I just wanted to get some water, you about to leave right?" He went into the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water.
"Yeah."
"You want me to put your bags in your car?" He asked when he noticed my suitcases. I nodded and unlocked my car. He put my bags in the trunk and then headed back to Zion's room. I grabbed my purse and phone and headed to Taraji's house, when I got there I got out and used my key to unlock her door. I shut it behind me and locked it.
"Hi Ms Tasia."
"Kiara? What are you doing here." She held up the baby bottles. She must really be the boys step mama. "Okay, well I'm just going to go on up." She nodded and waved at me as I headed upstairs. I walked into Taraji's room and she was still asleep in bed. I grabbed the pillow under her head and her head hit the mattress. She jumped out her sleep and looked around the room, when she saw me she frowned and pulled the covers over her head. "Penda! Get out of this bed right now!"
"No!"
"Okay I'm getting Khalil and putting him in your bed."
"I'm up! I'm up!" She jumped out of bed. I smiled and clapped. "I don't like this waking up early shit!"
"Yeah yeah yeah." I rolled my eyes and sat on her bed as she searched her closet for something to wear. She came out with another pajama set. "Taraji. Don't piss me off."
