"Chrisss wake up." Karina said as she moved her body side to side, rocking Chris. Chris was laying on top of her and she couldn't get his heavy tail off of her. "Chris you're heavy."

"What time is it."

"It's 10 and I know you leave at 6 today so get up." Chris got up, leaned toward Karina to kiss her. She kissed him back. "Okay get up." Chris got up and went to the bathroom. Karina went in behind him and brushed her teeth and washed her face.

"What you wearing?"

"Tights and a tank top." Chris nodded and washed his hands. He brushed his teeth too and went in the room to change his clothes. Karina walked out shortly and changed her clothes as well.

"So I can wear shorts and shit or I need to wear pants?" Karina chuckled.

"You can wear shorts and a simple shirt. You act like they didn't see you with your shirt off last night."

Chris put on white shorts, black t shirt, and some tennis shoes.

"Ight let's go." Chris had a driver take them to Karina's address and when Karina reached for the door, Chris stopped her. "Wait, what should I call your stepdad?"

"Just say Mr.Johnson or something I don't know. He can tell you all that when we get in there." They got out the car and stood at the front door. Karina looked at Chris to make sure nothing was wrong and then they went in. "We're hereeeeee!!" Karina yelled into the house. Her mama, Trina, came out the kitchen and smiled at them.

"Hey y'all!" Trina hugged Karina and then hugged Chris. "How you sleep Chris?"

"I slept good. I always sleep good when Karina around." Chris and Trina smiled at Karina. "Can I call you mama?"

"Of course. You want something to drink? We got sweet tea, lemonade, half and half, wine coolers, water, pretty much anything really."

"What you drink Karina?" Karina smiled.

"Let's just go sample and then you tell me what you like." Chris followed her into the kitchen and she let him taste the sweet tea, lemonade, and half and half.

"I'll get the half and half." Karina fixed him a drink and they went out back to see Ashley, Keyvon, and Damien.

"Hey everyone!"Karina said as they walked out the sliding doors that led to the patio. Damien was on the grill and Ashley was playing cards with Keyvon.

"Yooo wassup Chris." Keyvon said as he got up. They dapped each other up.

"Wassup Key. Appreciate y'all coming out last night man."

"Aye man I'm glad I could be there. Ended up getting some numbers." Keyvon rubbed his hands together and smirked.

"My nigga." They dapped each other up again and laughed. Chris walked to Damien to speak.

"Hey how you doing, I'm Chris." Chris stuck his hand out since him and Damien haven't spoken before.

"Wassup man." Damien stuck his hand out and shook it. "You put on a hell of a show last night man."
