Life After (Sequel)

"She got somebody , but he not somebody."

Ajayy song along to Sy Ari Da Kid's song Julz with passion as he did his routine weekly deep house cleaning.

He couldn't stand to be in a dirty place, except the trap spot, it was almost as if he had ocd and Alice's carelessness wasn't helping, and he was becoming irritated with it.

It was like her stuff was everywhere clothes, makeup , hair weave you name it and she wasn't even living with him,yet.

"Hey baby." Alice wrapped her arms around Ajayy's waist as he slid the vacuum cleaner across his white carpet. Ajayy's carpet was his prized possession, he took care of it like a child.

"Wassup." He turned around and kissed her cheek because he knew she hadn't yet brushed her teeth, she did this every morning, made a habit of spraying her morning breathe in his face before actually going to brush her teeth.

"What do you have planned for today babe?" Alice brought Ajayy's lips back to her's and kissed him. He didn't pull away because despite her breathe he enjoyed kissing her.

"Probably take Addie out , you wanna come?" Ajayy offered because he knew that Alice normally had a few clients to do on Saturday's so she wouldn't accept the invitation.

"Now you know I always have clients on Saturday's." She slightly shoved his shoulder. "But actually the clients that I did have today canceled so yes I want to go." Alice said bursting Ajayy's bubble.

"Aight we gone leave out around two." Ajayy said checking the time on his cell phone then quickly slid it back into his plaid pajama pants.

He continued to clean top of the stairs , stopping at his  picture display which contained many pictures of his family but mainly ones of Addie, Lauren, and him.

He picked up the first family picture they had ever took before and held it in his hands.

He missed those days when it was just the three of them but , Maybe it was time to move on. He thought to himself placing the picture back down and continuing his cleaning.

"Girl I'm yo best move look who you next to"

He unplugged the vacuum cleaner.

"Daddy coming to get you today mama." Lauren said placing Addie's plate of waffles cut into bite sized pieces , strawberry's, eggs and sausages in front of her. "He said he's taking you to see a movie."

"Mommy you go go with us? " Addie asked picking  up a fork, she was ready to eat.

"Uh-uh , grace first." Lauren removed the fork from her hand then took a seat at the brown wood dinning room table.

"God is grace-" Lauren started, she had been teaching Addie her grace and to be thankful since she was able to talk so she knee she would be able to finish the prayer.

"God is good let us thank him for our food..., I forgot the rest mommy." Addie looked up.

"Bow are heads , we must be fed give us Lord our daily bread, Amen."

"Thank you Jesus." Addie finished.

"Big girl." Lauren returned Addie's fork to her. "Now lets eat."
