Tierra POV

Taj and I brought in the new year by buying our first home together.

We had a discussion back in November and decided to move into a bigger space with a backyard for the boys to play.

We got us a two story, 3 bedroom brick home just on the outskirts of the Southside of Chicago.

The neighborhood was a bit diverse we wanted to be in an area with some people that looked    like us but not too hood.

I stood in our bedroom looking around. So far we had the boys room and our room furnished and then a sofa in the living room.

We both officially moved out of our apartments.  

I looked at Taj as he balled up the plastic that came on the two decorative chairs we put in our room.

"We're really doing this" I said to him.

"Yep after all that time you kept pushing me away this shit finally paying off" he said.

He came and wrapped his arms around me and kissed my lips.

"Now we just gotta get married and have some more kids maybe even a bigger place down the line" he said.

"Taj how many damn kids you want" I said.

"I told you a starting line up, I want 5" he said.

"Hell no I'm not having all them kids. I say we shoot for a girl in a few years and then that's it. I'm cutting off the supply" I said.

"What you mean I'm the supply and I ain't cutting shit" he said.

"Well I'll cut off the corners these tubes getting tied" I said.

He sucked his teeth. "Yea right" he said lifting me up.

"Taj" I said laughing.

He tossed me on our bed that we just made.

"You ain't cutting off shit" he said throwing the plastic he held onto the ground and he climbed on the bed.

"Yes the fuck I am I'm not having no damn five kids, you out yo rabbit ass mind G" I said holding his arms as he hovered over me.

"I guess I'm am then" he said nibbling on my neck making me laugh.

"Now y'all know we just made that bed up" his mom said walking in the room.

"Yep and we finna mess this shit back up" Taj said to her before nibbling on my neck again.

"Taj stop" I laughed trying to push him off.

"Taj come on now, we still gotta go get the stuff so we can put the rest of this house together" his mom said picking up the plastic he threw on the ground.

We looked at her.

"Ma just give me 15 minutes" he said looking at her.

I hit his chest because what the hell.

"Boy I'm not about to sit in the house why you fooling around come on now" ms Pat said walking to the door.

"And it don't take all of 5 for that" she said leaving out the room.  

Taj looked at me "tell her I ain't no 5 minute nigga" he said kissing my lips.

I placed my hands on the side of his face. "The first few times you were" I said.

"Man that's cause I was new to this shit but now" he said sitting up pulling me down to him by my waist.

"I'm true to this" he said.
