Close Calls

This Way

Me and Carter were going house shopping today. He said "I want my baby to grow up in a good neighborhood. My baby isn't gonna grown up like all there other kids put here fucking around and not getting their education."

I'm glad he's finally taking responsibility for his actions. Before I would of never even dreamed him doing this, I don't know what got into him but I hope it lasts.

We were getting ready to walk out the door when Carter stopped me.

"What??" I ask confused.

"You're not gonna get a sweater or something. It's nippy out there boo" he said.

I just laughed and went and got a sweater. I walked back to where Carter was and did a 360• turn to show him tht I was wearing a sweater.

"Can we go now?" I make a pouty face.

He kissed me and I walked out to the car while Carter locking the front door.

Carter's POV

I can tell Tamika was irritated and bored so I decided to turn on her favorite song.

🎶 Yeah , Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah, look look. I don't know why they been lying your shit is not that expiring. Bank account statements look like I'm ready for early retirement🎶

Tamika's head popped up and she automatically started rapping.

🎶fuck any nigga who talking that shit just to get a reaction. Fuck going platinum, I looked at my wrist and it's already platinum.🎶

"I knew you would lightn up if I put this song on for you" I say.

"Any Drake song you put on will lighten me up boo, just remember that" she stuck out her tongue.

We pulled up to this beautiful house.

"Carter...." She says amazed.

"Yeah?"

"This isn't the...."

"Yeah it's the house we might buy, but that's only I you like it. But you probably won't lets go" I say playing around with her and sitting back in the car.

"NOO! I love it" she says.

I chuckle and get out the car locking the door behind me and grabbing her hand leading her to the front door.

"Hello, my name is Dave, I will be showing you around the house and if you have any questions just ask" said the man dressed in a button up short and and dress pants.

We followed Dave into the house and we took a tour.

"So how do you like the house?" Dave asked.

Carter looked at me waiting for an answer.

"I love it" I say.

Carter smiles and writes a check and hands it to Dave.

Dave handed up 4 keys and another one for the attic door.

"Thanks"

Me and Carter were driving home to pack.

"Thank you babe" I say holding his right hand.

"Don't thank me bae. This is what I do for the person I love" he says.

The ride home was silent but not an awkward silent, it was a peaceful loving silent.

We arrived at our house. I walked upstairs and plopped on he bed. My back was killing me. Carter walked in an laid next to me. He placed his hand on my stomach and started to make small circles which felt good but tickled a little.

"Babe, I know you're tired so let's go to sleep and we can pack tomorrow" Carter says pulling the covers back and waiting for me to get under them with him.

I kick my pants off and do what he was waiting for me to do.

I laid my head on his chest and he rapped his arm around me. I listened to his heartbeat, and I was soon asleep.
