Make It Home (Sequel to Breakin' All The Rules)

Chapter 30

One month later.

"I'm so glad to have you back." Claire pulled me into a welcoming hug.

"I'm glad to be back." I gave her a warm smile.

I have been out of work for a couple weeks because of my grandmother's death. I miss her dearly, but there is nothing I can do about it now. The autospy results came back a week after her funeral, someone poisoned my grandmother. I can't wait to find out who her killer is, whoever killed my grandmother I hope they rot in hell.

August comes home today, and I can't wait. Kenzie is enrolled into the same pre-school as Kayla. I'm also working on a realationship with my dad. Of course my mom is against me letting my dad back into my life, but It's my choice and not hers.

I plopped down at my desk and Ciara peeped her head in with a smirk. I chuckled. "What do you want girl?"

Ciara ran in and squealed. "It's so cool working with my best friend."

I fanned Ciara away. "You're so lame."

I forgot to mention Ciara and Chris got a house out here in L.A three weeks ago, it's official my best friend now lives out in L.A.

A couple seconds later Claire walked in also. I furrowed both eyebrows and chuckled.

"Okay what are yall two up to?" I asked.

Claire & Ciara exchanged glares and smirked.

"Let's go out tonight, it's been way too long especially for you!" Claire mentioned.

I shook my head no. "No, I'm fine. I have a family I need to be with at home."

"Oh don't worry about that my sister can watch the kids." Claire smiled.

"No offense, but I don't know your sister and I'm very cautious on who to leave my kids with."

Claire nodded her head. "That's totally understandable."

Ciara sighed. "Let Christian's baby sitter watch them."

"I'll just let Aug watch them." I sighed, this is the only thing I hate about living away from fam. I don't trust any and everybody with my kids which is why I barely go out anymore.

"I'm afraid he won't be able to do that." Ciara bluntly said.

I furrowed an eyebrow and folded my arms. "And why is that?"

Claire coughed and turned her head while her and Ciara exchanged these weird looks. I'm starting to think these two are up to something.

"I mean give the man a break J, today will be his first day back from tour. I'm sure he'll be hella tired." Ci said resting her hand on her hip.

Ciara's right, I shouldn't leave the kids home with him. August been on tour for two months, and I know he can't wait to get home and catch up on some rest.

"Fine you're right." I sighed.

"So that means you are coming out with us tonight?" Claire plopped on top of my desk.

"Girl get your booty off my desk." I playfully pushed her off. "But yes, I'll go. You guys are right I don't even remember the last time I actually went out."

Claire and Ciara both pulled me into a group hug. "We're going to have fun tonight, look extra cute girl." Ci smiled.

I side eyed Ciara. "Excuse me, when have you ever seen me lookin' a mess?"
