Man Of The Year: Secrets & Lies

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Best

Laying on the couch, Kyrie played with Sasha's braided pigtails as she and Kendall watched a new show on Animal Planet. He looked at the time on his watch then back at the television before calling out Aja's name for the sixth time. They'd all had plans to go out as a family tonight but at the rate Aja was moving, nothing was going to get done.

"Babe, come on!" Kyrie shouted. His stomach growled loudly making the kids rub his belly.

What the hell is taking her so long? I swear if it's her makeup we fighting. That shit is annoying as fuck. All that work slapping that mud on her face for a couple of hours to only come home and wash it off. Kyrie thought.

"Kyrie, stop rushing me. I was handling something for work, relax." Aja strutted towards them placing in her hoop earrings.

"I wouldn't be rushing you if spent less time getting ready besides you look good without all that makeup on anyway." Kyrie stood from the couch and straightened his shirt with a few swipes.

"I was just trying to look pretty for you, my love." She kissed his lips and looked down at her phone.

"You always look beautiful but turn off that phone before we have a problem." Kyrie said into her ear while giving her a love tap on the ass.

"Sorry, baby." Aja nodded remembering the no phone policy they'd agreed on. She didn't want to disrespect that especially on his birth week. Though, there were plans she needed updates on for later that night. Luckily, for her, Momma J and Iman had everything under control.

"Sasha and Kendall make sure Zeek is in the backyard before we leave, please." They sprang from the couch and ran towards the kitchen.

"We need to be getting out of here if we want to make it to the movie on time, Aja." Kyrie sighed checking his watch.

"Will you cool your balls, we're going to get there on time to see Power Rangers, okay?" Aja cooed pinching Kyrie's cheeks.

The kids quickly ran in from the back yard panting hard, Kyrie shook his head and picked up their bag of snacks while heading towards the front door.

"Zeek is in his dog house and we filled his bowl up with water so he's doesn't get thirsty and drink from the pool." Sasha informed.

"And we washed our hands, mommy." Kendall said wiggling his fingers.

"Thank you both for helping out and keeping those hands clean, now let's go before daddy leaves us." Aja said making them run to the front door.

After the movie, Aja drove to the beach for a little family fun since it was still early enough for them to burn off all the sugar they'd eaten in the theater. Both Sasha and Kendall ran wildly with sea shells in hand. She looked over at Kyrie who placed his over his face as he continued to sleep on the blanket covering the sand. All that excitement of the movie wore him out, Kyrie was worse than the kids. Her phone vibrated in the palm of her hand, quickly answering the call she stood.

"Hey, I thought I told you not to call unless there was an emergency, you know if Kyrie sees me on this phone I'm minced meat so, tell me what happened?" Aja whispered lowly.

"We had a few mishaps with the hotel and the chauffeur- Momma J spoke to the hotel manager and they said that it was an error in the computer, somehow they placed the room in the wrong date and now the room is occupied by a couple of newlyweds. She's trying to find a hotel thats willing to do last minute bookings."

"Call The Cove and just ask for Manny, he should be able to help you out with the driver and hotel situation. Let him know it's for Aja Darryl." Aja said sending a quick text to Manny.
