"Mama, I'm not gonna be able to come to the center this morning."
"Why not?"
"I have a photoshoot." I sighed and stared up at the ceiling.
"We're having a game tonight, will you be able to make it?" She sucked in a breath in thought and laid her head on my chest, the pressure caused me to let out a cough and she shot up.
"Baby I didn't mean to hurt you."
"It's okay just lay on my stomach."
"How about you just come here." I sat up and she pulled me in between her legs. "I should be able to come to the game." This was something we came up with yesterday, our boys would play the neighborhood kids on our court and whoever won got a trophy. We were going to do the same with the girls.
"I'm training this new girl today, I wish you would've been able to help me with interviews you could've met her."
"You like her?"
"Yeah, she seems really sweet, she's a young kid one of Ari's friends actually. She had a great personality and she just got her early education degree."
"She hasn't even worked in childcare yet, do you think that's a good idea?"
"How is she going to learn if we don't teach her."
"Okay, I guess." Her phone started buzzing with a phone call and she picked it up off of the side table. I tried to move out of her hold but she wouldn't let me and locked her legs around me as she answered the phone. "Hey Willow... So I have to get ready now, you didn't say anything about an interview... Alright, alright I'm getting up now... Oh that's not- okay I'll see you when you get here."
"You have an interview too?"
"Yea with Variety magazine, they want to talk to me about the new movie and my family life."
"Hm..." She squeezed me softly and grabbed my neck turning my face towards hers.
"I'll see you later, I'm bringing you lunch." Her hand slid up to push my cheeks together and placed a kiss on my puckered lips. "I want you to FaceTime me when you eat breakfast." She pecked my lips multiple times and let my face go. "And I want to watch you take your medicine."
"How are you going to be on FaceTime monitoring me and doing an interview?" She climbed out of bed.
"Just do it!" She disappeared into the bathroom and seconds later I heard the shower running. It was 7:00am and I was still laying in bed like the kids didn't have anywhere to be, but luck for them it was Friday. I pulled myself out of bed and grabbed my robe and my slippers putting them on. I left my room and went to wake up Keziah, she woke up pretty quickly. I pulled her blankets back, pulled her out of bed and walked with her to the bathroom so I could help her wash her face and style her hair. Keziah had taken a bath before bed so I just helped her pick out an outfit to wear, she wore a denim skirt overalls, a black long sleeve top, and her black and white converses.
