Zariah's pov

| a week later

"Stop sniffling and wipe your nose with the tissues I bought you,"I told Pharaoh's ill behind as he laid his head in my chest.

"Mm,"he grumbled not using his words and continuing to sniffle.

"You needa go to the doctors,"I said playing with his ear.

He's been sick for the whole week and hasn't done anything but sleep, brush his teeth and keep his waves in shape. He's showered about twice this week.

"It's hot,"he mumbled removing the covers from his body and flipping the pillow to the cool side.

"The heats on 80 so I don't know what cool air you're tryna get,"I mumbled.

"Then turn the heat down Zariah damn,"he mumbled with an attitude.

"Little boy you're getting crazy. I'm cold and you're hot but I pay these bills and you don't,"

"Can you just turn it down please,"he whined.

I sucked my teeth, went to the thermostat and my evil ass turned it up to 90. I laughed to myself and made my way back to the bed.

"Are you hungry?"I asked.

"No,"

"Well since you don't wanna eat, you have to drink so I'm gonna get you water,"I walked out before he could reply.

I got him two water bottles and some Chester fries for myself. I went back upstairs and this nigga was on the patio outside my room.

"Akhil you're gonna get worse. It's not hot outside,"I dragged him back in the house.

"It's hot in here. It's hot outside,"he complained going to the thermostat.

He looked at me and I looked at him like I ain't know why he was looking at me.

"I told yo' ass to turn this shit down and it went from 80 to 90,"he turned it down,"You so annoying bruh,"

"I've been taking care of you and I'm annoying? See what we not bout to do is get crazy so you can see ya way out Pharaoh,"

"You're buggin',"he mumbled falling onto the bed and wrapping the covers around his body,"Now I'm cold,"

"And I'm turning the heat right back up,"I said walking to it.

"Stop messing with it or else you gon' blow something,"he said.

"Little boy mind ya business,"

"Aight I warned you,"he said sounding high as ever,"Come back here,"he whined.

"I hate when you're sick. You're such a baby and a brat,"I slapped his butt and made my way under the covers.

"Yo chill,"he said with all seriousness in his voice and putting his head on my chest again.

I sucked my teeth and pulled my phone out going on Snapchat.

"Getting all his germs on me and everything. Big baby,"I recorded myself and Pharaoh with the heart filter.

I pinch near my boobs and smacked this nigga's neck mad hard.

"Why you bite me?"I hit him again.

"Stop recording me. I look tragic,"he pinched my ass.

I stopped recording it put it on my story then threw my phone somewhere on the bed. I checked the time on Akhil's Apple Watch and got out of bed.
