Hard Times Purify

S E V E N

Zih ,

"Stop !" I yelled at the kids .

They've been arguing over this damn blanket for what seemed like a hour . I let them lie in my bed and watch a movie while I finished up a research paper . They were really working my nerves .

"But mommy I had it first ." Zuri cried , pouting her lips and folding her arms .

"I don't care who had it first . You two are either going to share it or go to your rooms where you have your own blankets ."

I looked over at Karti who looked beyond annoyed . Oh well .

"Do I make myself clear ?"

They're mouths were closed with a tight lip . They both each hesitated to say something . They get that stubborn trait from their father I swear .

"Kartion , Zuri , I just asked you did I make myself clear ?" I said , in a lower more stern voice .

"Yes." The duo mumbled .

"Good." I turned to finish typing .

**********

"Daddy!" The two sung , making me turn my attention from the laptop .

I watched as he took off his jacket and told them to hold on . He walked into the closet . 10 minutes later he walked out wearing a pair of jogging pants and a t-shirt . He divined on the bed , on top of Kartion and Zuri causing them to go into a fit of laughter .

"I missed yall ." He told them , in between what seemed like endless kisses .

"We missed you too daddy ." Zuri smiled .

"What yall been doing all day ?" He asked .

They didn't reply .

"Getting on my damn nerves ." I replied .

"Nuh uhn ." Zuri interfered .

"Yes huh !" I joked .

"Awe for real ? I had a surprise for yall too ." Karti shook his head .

"What !" Kartion yelled , finally opening his mouth .

"Yall got to wait until yall be good ."

"We don't wanna ." Zuri wined .

"Not my fault . Yall should of been good ."

I looked over at my two pouty kids and stuck my tongue out .

They faces were priceless . I closed the MacBook , sat it on the nightstand and stood up . Stretching my limps , I let out a low moan . It felt so good .

The kids were still upset though .

"You just as bad ." Karti laughed .

"Oh well . Now go give these spoiled brats their surprise . Maybe they'll get off my nerves and start on yours ."

"Yup." Zuri smart mouth ass agreed lowly .

Karti shook his head chuckling . "C'mon you two ." They quickly got out the bed and ran downstairs . Little thirsty spoiled  selves .

I followed , so I could get started on dinner . It was going on 8 o'clock . I know I was late but better late than never . Plus , my dad didn't drop these demons off until 6.

"Mommy look!" Zuri ran into the kitchen carrying a small Louis Vuitton hand bag , with the matching belt and leather booties boots .

"Ah ! That's so pretty ." I told her , lowering to her level .
