When It Comes To Them (BoyxBoy)

Sleep

I laid in my bed that I had just pulled from within the couch, staring up at the ceiling, I couldn't sleep, especially after what my mom had told me, making me realize that I would have to go deeper into to what I was doing than I was now and I really wasn't too keen on that. I mean I had no problem with taking the twins, I liked having them close and knowing in case of anything I would be right there for them, but to take them I would need to convince my coach, but with the way she was acting I suspect it wouldn't be a problem, the hard part would be how costly it is to take them with me, I already had to get some more cash so the landlord wouldn't be an ass and move out all our stuff when we were gone, but I had to get money to buy some things for their trip, get money for the transportation, look after the housing for a month, might probably end up renting a room all together, and then I had to study feeding them and keeping them entertained while I was training.

I sighed rubbing my eyes with the heels of my eyes, my mom couldn't take them, it's not that she had a problem with it, even with the way she acts sometimes no one could ever say my mom doesn't love her children, it's just that her promotion relied on her going on this trip and being at the top of her game so having two, two year old twins running around while you're trying to work would be beyond distracting. I sighed again and turned on my side to stare at the blinds that closed off the nook where the twins were fast asleep, probably clinging on to each other like there lives depended on it and I guess it probably did. I would give anything to have them safe and secure and If I could take them out of this poor excuse for the life that they had and place them some where, where they could be comfortable all the days of their lives I would in a flash.

I closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep, because I already had too much on my mind to worry about exhaustion.

I stood in the store with the little cash I had left after paying my contributions for the trip, Mia was hanging off my back half asleep and Liam was staring at a particular white sneakers with a blue dinosaur and blue trimmings, I could look down at his face and see that he had his heart set on it, but I was looking at the black plain sneakers about four shoes away, it was half the price of the white one, of course a little worn but I could make sure that I washed it and kept it in tact, maybe for a year if I was lucky, but the way he glanced up at me, tugged on my sleeve and looked back at the thing I couldn't resist and the best part was that there was a green one in matching style, I could buy both of them for a good price and get Mia new shoes at the same time, so I nodded to him and he practically cheered an ran to snatch them up coming back to my side and taking my finger, I lead him to a cashier after grabbing two new pair of socks.

We were out the store a few minutes later and he was beaming because I allowed him to hold the shopping bag, I hoist him up on my hip after switching Mia to one, I stood at the bus stop deciding whether or not I should take it or walk the few blocks, but then Liam let out a giant yawn and my choice was made, five minutes later the bus pulled up and I got on, it wasn't long after I was placing Mia gently on the bed followed by Liam, I undressed both of them and grabbed two of my t shirts and tugged it onto their tiny bodies, I placed a kiss on each of their heads and then moved to the kitchen taking out some stuff to make a sandwich and pull out the container of juice and poured some for myself, I ate in silence and then completed my home work, washed up the dishes and headed for my bed, but as soon as I was about fall face first on my bed I heard my phone ding signalling a message.

I sighed and grabbed up the thing and looking at the message paling, it was a house call, now common sense would tell anyone this was a bad idea and should be avoided, but house calls paid much better because of the risk and right now I needed the cash, the customer wanted me to be there at one pm and I looked at the time to see I had an half an hour, I had no choice but to go, so go I would. I got up and grabbed up a grey long sleeved T, some dark blue jeans and my white scuffed sneakers, looking at it I decided that if I had a chance to buy new ones I would buy them in black, they would last longer, I sighed and looked at myself deciding whether or not to style my hair but instead I settle for pulling a white cap over it, I checked on the twins and then locked up before heading out.
