Resilient (August Alsina)

Chapter 36

"I haven't been here in so long" Liza gazed over the place as she leaned back on the hood of the car with Kyon. "I use to come here all the time"

"This your chill spot?"

"Yes this was my little comfort spot but then I met you and you became it"

"Glad to know that" he smiled.

"So you ready for college?"

"Don't really have a choice to be ready or not, I start next week" he scoffed.

"I am so happy for you, at least one of us is doing good"

"Don't say that, we both are doing good. Great as a matter of fact"

"Have you thought about a good time to tell them we're married?"

"Honestly no"

"We need to tell them"

"Don't you think I know that"

"I was just saying"

"And I was just replying"

"On second thought I need to leave" she slipped off the car.

"Why? We just got here"

"Well I need to speak to Shellece bout something"

"Can't it wait?"

"No"

He sighed and got off the car also, the car ride was silent and they were both more than happy when they arrived. They entered the house to see Shellece just putting her bags on the counter which means she just got in from work.

"Hey where you guys coming from?" She asked.

"No where special just breezed our heads"

"Oh okay well I'm gonna get started on dinner"

"Before you do I wanted to speak to you about something"

"What's that"

"Well I was thinking that maybe I could get a little job-"

"Oh hell nah-" Kyon cut her off.

"Kyon wait-"

"No. End of discussion, I already looking for a job and I'm doing it just so you ain't have to do"

"Yeah but why would you have me sitting around all day when I could be making money?"

"I said no-"

"Kyon hear her out" Shellece stopped him. He sighed before signaling for me to continue.

"Shellece and Jermaine are always at work, Hakeem got school and you start college next week which leaves me alone here so instead of sitting around the house everyday I could get a job and not the type of nine to five more like a babysitting job"

"That's not a bad idea" Shellece smiled.

"Yeah if I get six, seven or even ten kids-"

"Ten? That's a bit too much" Shellece stopped her.

"Exactly, she-"

"Okay maybe not ten but six kids, $10 per hour for up to six hours, five days a week that's $1800. I could get my own place and start shopping for the baby"

"So from what time to what time?"

"From eight to five"

"You can't keep so many kids for so long" Kyon was trying to find any excuse for her not to do it.

"No idiot. Meaning they can't carry a kid to me earlier than eight and leave the later than five or 5:30pm the latest. That's normally what time most people get off work"

"Well don't you have this all figured out?"

"And it gives me time to practice for this little girl" she rubbed her tummy.

"Well let's start making some type of flyer. I can distribute these to the people at work"

--

"Finally I'm done" Liza fell in the bed next to Kyon who was watching the tv.

"Finally, come lay with me baby"

"Ain't gotta tell me twice" she crawled up to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I cannot wait to start this little work, I could save up and purchase a car, the baby's stuff and we can move up out this house and get our own place"

"What kinda car?"

"Nothing too much probably a Volvo or a Toyota"

"Okay and what type of apartment"

"Like a two bedroom cuz I would love if the baby had her own room but-"

"We can't really afford that right now so"

"Exactly"

"Don't worry it'll all work out" he kissed her forehead.

"I kn-oh my god" she semi-yelled.

"What?!" Kyon jumped up already alerted.

"She's kicked!"she smiled grabbing his hand resting it on her stomach. He smiled at the feeling of her feet making contact with his palms. The little gesture brought tears to both of their eyes however Kyon hid his while Liza proudly released hers.

"What's wrong I got-" Jermaine ran in the room with Shellece.

"The baby kicked" Kyon smiled.

"Aww well then we'll just head back to our room"

"Okay" they smiled as the exited the room.

"This feels so weird and different though"

"Well better get ready because a whole lot a she gonna be different"
