I awake at 5 am like I do every morning and gasp at the apartment sized bedroom that I'm in. Getting up, I walk into the en suite, brush my teeth and hop in the shower. Once done, I pull my waist length twists into a ponytail. I throw on a black hat, a white sports crop top with a hood, black leggings, and white sneakers.
I make my way to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, and almost choke when I look through the patio door and see Xavier working out. And good lord, he is one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen. Tattoos and sweat cover his entire front. His locks bounce up and down as he jumps rope and all I can do is stare mouth agape. And then, he looks up like he can feel my stare "OH craptastic".
I immediately take off out the front door and begin my 6 mile run.
When I come back, I shower again and throw on a floor length floral print summer dress with white sandals. Then the girls come in my room and tackle me to the bed.
"OMG why is your room so far?!! It took like 10 minutes just to get here" says Bree whining.
"Drama queen" I say
"It didn't take 10 minutes but you are pretty far." says Ny
"Good morning my beautiful bookworm. Jeez your butt is like a cloud!" says Mya while squeezing making the twins laugh.
"Would you get off you perv!" I say trying to push her off and roll over.
She giggles and gets up.
"So now that we are all ready, IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST! You guys my mom is the best cook ever!!" Mya
"Is your whole family here yet?" NY
"No just us, my parents, Titan, who is my second oldest brother and Xavier. Hakeem, the third oldest, is with his friends Shaquille and Malcolm. They are on their way. Malcolm is my future husband BTW." Mya
