Save Me ( Keith Powers)

Keith
I chuckled as she pouted like a little kid with her arms folded.

"Are you going to do a push up or not?"

"Not!" She said real quick with an attitude.

I chuckled again and got in the push up position.

"C'mon Sky its real easy. I thought you wanted to work out with me."

"I did but Keith that's too much." She whined with her hands on her hips.

Instead of chuckling I busted out laughing this time. I don't know how mama handles this little grown woman.

"Alright then go over there where Kev at and go sit beside Kay and Miracle." She nodded her head and ran over to them.

"What you laughing at? She may not have to do the push ups but you still gotta do em."

"Keith goodbye I am not about to do no push ups and move. Putting your hands on my face."

"Get up and do a push up!"

"Yell at me one more time Powers and I will sit on you."

"You threaten me with a good time?"

"Why you gotta be so nasty all the time." She threw a small Oreo cookie at me.

"Quit throwing food before Mr. C think I ate that and dropped a cookie."

"Nope I'll throw whatever I wanna throw. Now push up position."

"You gon' count?"

"Yeah I got you."

I got down and started my push ups and she did like she said and counted for me.

When I lifted up I felt someone sitting on me. At first I thought it was Skylar until I saw her standing up and laughing then that's what I figured it was Ashly.

"Ah! Keith stop do not try to throw me off." She laughed and screamed.

I laughed and let her get up and continued my push ups before I was rudely interrupted.

We just left the gym and Ashly and I were now in my car heading to my house. When Stay Blessed came up on shuffle I began singing to Ashly and held her hand.

"Note to Self, stay true to Self
Shorty I can really use some help
And you know what to do to help
Going in circles trying not to lose myself
Check up, how can I check up?
Tell you I messed up
We could go somewhere nice get pretty and get dressed up
My homeboys said I should keep fed and not fed up
Always said if I happy give you heads up
I would rather give you back down long stroke legs up"

She laughed and snatched her hand back.

"I should've known why you picked this song to sing."

"It came up on shuffle don't blame me."  We both laughed as I turned down on my street.

We pulled up to the house and got out of the same time. I opened the door for her and let her walk in first.

"I shouldn't have to say make yourself at home because you're going to do that regardless but I'm about to go take a shower and I'll be down when I'm done."

She nodded her head and yelled out. "Alright." As I went up the stairs to go to my room to find some clothes to lounge around in and take my shower.

Ashly
I raised up off the couch and turned the tv on to find something to watch. As I flipped from channel to channel I settled on The Bernie Mac show on BET. I literally caught the end of the episode when they started showing the bloopers at the end. It was the episode when Vanessa had a father and daughter dance her school and she didn't want Bernie to come but she let him come anyway and they were currently showing the bloopers when Bernie said "that's some bull we lost to some Mexicans that's some bull" and when he said "that's a nurse? She look she can give me mouth to mouth."

No matter how many times I watch this show I never get tired of it along with Martin & Wayne's Bros.

"What you laughing at now?" Keith questioned as he came down the stairs and sat beside me.

"Was Bernie Mac but it's gone off now."

He nodded his head as he tapped on his phone and I continued to find something on tv.

There wasn't anything on there that I wanted to see so I just went to his Netflix account and turned on the NE Story and laid on him.

Another short chapter and another cute moment sorry but I didn't know what else to add to it and how to end it 🤷🏾‍♀️
