August

"Keira?"

Looking over at me as I walked into tha kitchen she gave me a lah smile.

"Baybeh is after three in tha morning. Why ya still up?" I walked over ta ha.

"I remembered I had somethings to schedule into my planner."

"Yea but ya could do that later in tha morning."

"I know babe but-"

"Nah, ain't no but. C'mon let's go." I said closing ha laptop.

"August!" She whined.

"Ion wanna hear it, let's go."

I've been back in Atlanta a week now and I've noticed ha sleeping pattern had changed. Fa some reason Keira barely slept at night and when she did, she would wake up breathing hard and just leave tha room.

"I got a free day today, I was thinking we can do something as a family." I wrapped ma arms around ha.

"Sure." She nodded looking at me.

Ion know what its was that just switched with ha, but I knew it was more than YaYa's seizure incident.

"I luh ya mama." I kissed ha on ha lips

"I luh ya too baybeh." She smiled.

"G'on get some sleep." I laughed at ha mimicking me.

"Mhmm." She hummed as ha eyes closed down.

oOo

"Look at me." I pulled ha closer ta me. "Just focus on me ma and try ta control ya breathing ok."

She nodded ha head as she looked me in ma eyes. Taking slow deep breaths, she exhaled as I rolled a blunt.

Sitting on tha floor indian style, Keira straddled me as I lit up and took tha first hit. Exhaling, she inhaled slowly and relaxed befa I put it ta ha lips.

"Baybeh what's going on witchu?" I sighed.

Taking back tha blunt she exhaled then looked at me.

"Just having one of those days" She sighed.

"Ya been having em a lot lately though. Ya sure ain't nothing bothering ya." I asked as I took a hit.

"Yea." She nodded and leaned inta me.

Kissing me, I exhaled in ha mouth as she took tha smoke in, and exhaled through ha nose.

Since Keira been smoking with me, she picked up a thing or too, plus she made it fucking sexy too.

"I love when ya do that shit." I smiled.

"I know you do."

Finishing tha blunt, we sat their meditating fa a minute.

"G'on get changed, I'a get our mats and head out back."

"Ok babe."

Walking into tha hallway, I got our yoga mats out tha hall closet and checked on our daughta'. As much as I wanted ta wake ha, Keira hated when I did. She always said ta leave ha let ha wake on ha own.

Heading downstairs ta tha back yard, I set up our mats, fed Frankie then walked in and got two water bottles. As I was bout ta walk back out, tha door bell rang.

"Aye bruh, watchu doing hea this hour?" Me and E dapped.

"I know its early but Kei up?" He asked.
