There's Nothing Left For Me

Fourteen

Draya POV

"Thank you for taking us on this quick notice." I spoke to Andrew's pediatrician, Dr. Ross.

"It's no problem. What's going on with him?" She put gloves on her hands after washing and sanitizing them.

"Um yesterday I picked him up from his um grand father's. He said he was coughing a bit and then last night he had this fever along with the cough. I gave him a warm bath which calm him down a little but once he started coughing up again, my boyfriend held him in the bathroom as I showered. We were hoping the steam would open him up a little." I explained.

"And you're the boyfriend?" She pointed to Orlando. He chuckled a little.

"Naw." He shook his head as she apologized. "It's straight." He shrugged.

"Well Draya if you could lie him down right here so I could examine him." I did as she said.

"I can't believe he has asthma already." I mumbled as we walked into the house.

"You did say it runs in your family tho Dray." O walked behind me, throwing Andrew in the air.

"Yeah but I mean, not this early. Maybe after 3 years old is when I found out I was asthmatic." I sat on the couch sighing.

"Are you going to get a Christmas Tree?" I changed the subject.

"No. I'on really do the decorations and shit." I mouthed an 'O' just as my phone rung.

"Hello?"
"Well isn't it my beautiful girlfriend." I giggled.
"Hi Quince." I playfully rolled my eyes.
"Don't be rolling them eyes lil girl." I did it again.
"Ight let them get stuck."
"Is there a reason you're FaceTiming me?" I questioned.
"Trust me I ain't want to see yo face. Wea lil man at?"
"Minding his business. Something you should be doing."
"Get fucked up." I giggled.
"Shut up." The doorbell rung and O passed me Drew. "I'll be back." I nodded.
"Are you busy?" I asked him.
"I know you see me sitting in my office." I mugged him.
"Listen here Quince. You gon stop talking to me like I'm yo child."
"Well you was just calling me daddy last week." I blushed, looking away from the camera.
"Exactly." He laughed.
"What you want baby girl?"
"I was going to look at a couple of places and wanted to know if you wanted to tag along." I asked.
"Just us three?"
"Jess' coming too."
"Umm.."
"Pleaseeeee." I pouted.
"What time Draya damn?" He mumbled.
"2:30." I smiled.
"Ight. Let me go home and shower."
"Thank you! Muay." He rolled his eyes as I blew him a kiss then hung up the phone. Making me throw my phone in the couch space next to me.

"Why is he soo mean?" I stood Drew up in my lap. He began smiling and bouncing.

"Gimme kiss." I puckered my lips and he bent his head down, putting his whole mouth over my lips. I giggled at him.

"You're about to be 6 months already." I sighed. "I can't wait until you get older though. I promise we're going to have so much fun." I laid him on my lap and started blowing on his stomach.

"Did you like any of those houses?" Quince asked me. We sat on his couch and he began to massage my feet.

"No not really." I sighed, rubbing Drew's back as he was falling asleep on my chest.

"Well what you looking for?"

"I don't even want a house. I just want a nice apartment. Something cozy for me and Andrew." He nodded.

"You can always stay in my bed." I playfully rolled my eyes.
