Come Back to Reality

Chapter 44:

*Crystal's POV*

Alliyah jumped into Sandi's arms.

"Hey, Ma," Aubrey said as he was walking towards her.

They hugged each other and he grabbed her bags.

Sandi is white with dyed-blonde hair.

I went downstairs and up to her.

"Hey. Remember me?"

"Crystal?"

"Yeah. Hey, Ms. Sandi."

She put Alliyah down and we hugged.

"How have you been? You're STILL beautiful. I've always liked you for my son."

"Thanks. I've been doing good. I'm pregnant, too."

She looked surprised and happy, her mouth hanging open and eyebrows scrunching upwards.

"You're having my grandchild?"

I felt guilty, but I shook my head yes with a sincere smile.

She hugged me again. "Oh my goodness. How far along are you?"

"2 1/2 months."

"Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Alliyah grabbed her arm and pulled her upstairs to her room, I think.

I went into the kitchen and ate breakfast. Aubrey came in and kissed my neck.

"Starting tomorrow, we're gonna be alone for a week," he whispered into my ear while holding me from behind.

"Yay?" I sat onto the counter and Aubrey was standing in-between my legs.

"Why did you tell Alliyah that stuff?"

"She asked."

"She's not even 5."

"She's my child, too."

"Mines, too, and I don't want her learning that stuff, yet."

He's not mad, but tried to walk away. I grabbed his arm and said "Stop. Stay in here with me."

He kissed my lips and walked away again.

He went upstairs and I heard our door closed. He's probably writing a song.

I went back upstairs and opened the door.

I grabbed my laptop and started to take this damn exam.
