I must have sung my self asleep because I awoke to multiple text from Kitai.

Tai : Yea I'm good.

10 minutes later ...

Tai : You there Lala?

5 minutes later...

Tai : Did you fall asleep?

3 minutes...

Tai : I can't sleep without seeing your face , FaceTime me when you can?

Tai : I love you .

I sighed and replied.

Me: I'm sooo sorry Tai , I fell asleep. Still up for FaceTime?

I then locked my phone and went to the bathroom. The time had read 10:30PM and my music was still playing, 3:16 By Jhené Akio'. I washed my face of any sleep and headed downstairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of Half Tea Half Lemonade out of the fridge and a bag of hot puff-corn out of the pantry. Walking back upstairs, I could hear my father still working in his office, mumbling. Making my way into my bedroom I heard the notification on my phone go off. A text from Kitai.

Tai : Of Course ☺️

I smiled at the text, closed my bedroom door and dialed his number for FaceTime. He answered almost automatically.

"Hey Beautiful."

I smiled, "Hey Handsome, you look tired."

"I don't feel tired."

I popped a hot puff in my mouth, "Well, you look like it. Where's mom?"

He shifted in bed, "She's down stairs finishing up dinner, Thank God 'cause I'm starving." He pouted.

I giggled and took a sip of my Arizona, "Oh, what about your mini me?"

He playfully rolled his eyes, "Where else would he be?"

We were referring to his little brother King, he always stood in Kitai's shadow, he literally follows him everywhere. Only time me and Kitai actually get some alone time is when his mom comes to the rescue and makes King stay behind. He must have figured we were talking about him because he popped up over Kitai's shoulder and grinned.

"Hey Lala!" He yelled. He was the same age as Nalani, and looked just like Kitai. Only difference was his full head of curly hair and face full of freckles.

"Hey Simba." That's what I called him. That's who he reminded me of. He even shares the same voice and personality as Simba.

"Whatchadoinn?" He asked, propped up on Kitai's back.

I popped a couple more puffs in my mouth and swallowed, "Laying in my bed eating chips, what about you?"

"Watching cartoons with Kitai" he exclaimed excitedly. Kitai nudged him off his back. "That's enough," he said, "Can I get some time to talk to my girlfriend?" I could hear King scoff in the background, "Fine!" He said. I could hear his little feet stomping out of the room.

"That was mean Tai." I exclaimed, popping more puffs in my mouth and sipping my Arizona.

"Well you're my girlfriend, I want you to myself." I grinned, "and since tomorrow is Friday, how about you come spend the weekend?" He asked grinning.

"I'd love to." he smiled big, "BUT," he frowned, "I already promised Nalani a girls week, Just me, her and Nae." He sighed, "Fine, but you're mine next weekend." I smiled, in the background I could hear his mom calling him for dinner.

"Aye babe, I got to go, moms calling for dinner."

"Okay babe, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodnight.

"Night."

With that, we hung up. I folded up the remaining of the chips and set them on my night stand, next to my can of Arizona, cut off my light and went to sleep.
