M.

"Rise and grind!" I shouted, snatching the comforter from Mylen's half naked body.

He groaned in agony, flipping over onto his side.

"Get up Mylen." It's nine in the morning and I had a whole day planned for the two of us.

"In the name of lucifer, let me sleep." His voice was slightly muffled because of the pillow. Do I have to perform an exorcism on this little nigga?

"Mylen Amir Alsina." I warned. I only say his full name when I'm being stern.

"Please mom, a few more minutes."

I sighed in defeat and pulled the blinds closed. I'm an early bird and I'm trying to turn My into one too but it's not working out so well.

"I'll be right back,okay?"

He mumbled something underneath his breath as I slid on a pair of gladiator sandals.

I was gonna go grab a coffee from downstairs. To cope with this child today, I was going to need it.

I locked the door behind me and shot down the stairwell, not bothering to take the elevator.

I made it into the dining room which wasn't packed, surprisingly. Usually it's a long line leading from the coffee machine, even in the evening.

I grabbed a coffee cup and walked over to where one of the African workers were serving it, only to see Chris coming my way.

If I see his face one more time I'm gonna shoot myself.

Grabbing a coffee cup he stood besides me. He didn't seem like the coffee drinking type. But eh, can't judge a book by its cover.

"Morning."

See, I was being nice, cordial.

He replied with a head nod, eyeing the list of what I had planned for today on my phone.

"Day all mapped out?"

"Yup, nature walk, petting zoo, native crafts. My's excited." I lied, knowing all Mylen is worried about is getting more sleep.

He reached out and grabbed a few napkins causing me to finally take  notice of the unique tattoos coating his hands.

"Royalty's ecstatic too. Just jumping off the walls and allat'."

"Cream?" The worker whose name tag read 'Juhan' asked politely as he took our cups from our hands.

"No thanks." Chris and I said in unison.

"Sugar?"

"Yes, please." We both said simultaneously once again, giving each other weird looks afterwards.

"You couldn't even get Mylen out of bed could you?" He asked after a while, seeing straight through me.

"Nope." I admitted."Royalty?"

"Nah, she's probably just gonna sleep through the rest of the trip."

We retrieved our glasses and turned towards the pond across from us.

"Welp, it's a beautiful day." I murmured more to myself, taking a sip of the slightly sweetened coffee. The view is absolutely stunning out here. Makes me kind of want to stay here forever.

He nodded in agreement, the two of us just looking out at the gorgeous water until our eyes landed on something I wish they hadn't.

Two animals that I don't even know the name of were having sex on one of the rocks. Moaning, groaning and everything.
