I woke and Meek was still sleep so, I started playing with his hand and he eventually woke up.

"Morning.", I said.

"Morning baby."

"Isn't there a half day?"., I asked and he nodded.

"Great. Let's go somewhere."

"Go where?"

"Let's take the boys somewhere today."

"That's not a bad idea, but where?"

"All of them like the same thing. I'll text Dante."

"Can I have a massage?", he asked and I nodded.

I got off him and he laid down on his stomach.

"How long were you asleep?"

"3 hours."

"Hell no."

I straddled his back and started massaging his neck.

"Take a nap for awhile."

I finished his massage, but he still wasn't sleep. I got off him and started rubbing his back. I got my phone and kept on running his back.

"Are you sleep yet?", I asked and didn't get a answer.

I heard snores so, I got up and went downstairs.

"Hey Tak."

"Where Meek at?"

"Sleep. He only got 3 hours."

"Damn. Well, I'm going to chill here for awhile."

"Don't matter to me.", I said and walked in the kitchen.

"What's up y'all?", Chris yelled and I smiled.

"Why you here?", I said handing him a water.

"Parents kicked me out. Saying I'm in the house too much."

"Maybe you should join the football team again."

"Nah. They're doing good without me. Yesterday was awesome. We'll make it to the playoffs."

"That's if we don't lose Dante and Russell."

"Last game was close. Where Meek at?"

"Sleep. He only got 3 hours of sleep."

"What was he doing?"

"Looking at the plays. That's all he ever does really."

"He is the principal and coach. They need a new basketball coach too.", Chris said and I shook my head.

"He can't juggle two sports. That'll stress him out.", Tak said.

"Exactly."

My phone started ringing and I answered it.
