ALL TO MYSELF.

XXIX - Liyah

"Is that my lotion I smell?" I mumbled with my eyes closed.

"Good morning to you too," Pluto chuckled. "And yes it is. I can't go to a photoshoot ashy and you keep moving mine."

He leaned across the bed to kiss me on my forehead.

"Get up. You got a doctor's appointment later and with the way we been fucking lately you can't miss that shot."

"I don't feel good. My stomach hurts."

"You asked me to go deeper. I told you you would feel it in the morning," he laughed walking into the closet.

"Not that," I giggled. "Like cramps."

"Might be gas, baby. You had 4 eggs in your seafood boil last night. Just talk to the doctor about it."

"Good morning, family," Tiff sang as she walked into our bedroom. "Liyah, get up. You know it takes you forever to get ready."

"Hey, Tiff," Pluto hugged her. "Thank you for going with her today. How'd you sleep?"

"Sleep?! Y'all kept me up all night last night with all that hollering and moaning."

"You heard us?!" we shouted at the same time.

"Shit, I almost came in here and joined y'all. Liyah girl, I finally understand."

I laughed as she came and laid on top of me.

"Tiffany, get off my baby."

"I shoulda told you that last night! You okay my sweet dumpling?" she laughed, rubbing my back.

"Believe it or not, that was light," I laughed, pushing her off of me.

"On that note, Ima head out," Pluto chuckled.

He walked over and kissed me once again.

"Don't be late, Liyah. Hopefully this won't run over and I'll be home sometime tonight. I'll call you. I love you."

"I love you too," I blushed.

He playfully mushed Tiff's head on the way out and we heard the front door close downstairs.

"Whew chile, can I watch next time?"

"Girl, no!" I laughed, finally getting out of the bed and walking into the bathroom. I pulled my panties down to pee, groaning loudly when I saw blood.

"What's wrong?" Tiff called from the bedroom.

"I shouldn't have rescheduled my appointment. I got my period and I don't have anything."

She ran to the guest room and came back with a pad.

"That's a lot of blood for Day 1. No wonder you on the shot."

"Tiff, we have to work on boundaries," I laughed as I started the shower. "I'll be ready in a minute. Get dressed and meet me downstairs.

We got in the car and headed to my appointment as my cramps started to get even worse than they already are.

"You sure you're okay?" Tiff asked, helping me out of the car.

"Yeah, I just haven't had a period in so long I don't remember my cramps being this painful."

We walked into the lobby, sitting down as I filled out paperwork. Thank God my management team was able to get me a private insurance plan and I was able to see a doctor that worked with celebrities so I wouldn't run into any fans of Pluto that would send any information to TSR.

"Smith?" the nurse called.

Tiff helped me up as we started walking to the back. She asked some questions and took my vitals while we waited for the doctor.
