ELIJAH

I was laying on my back scrolling through my phone when I heard the shower water stop running.

Jalissa came walking out of the bathroom with some little booty shorts on, and a pink Nike shirt. Her hair was up in a bun as if she didn't get it wet. She threw her towel over her desk chair and walked over to the bed and straddled me.

"I needed a shower." She said as she laid her head on my chest.

"I know, stank ass." I replied as I wrapped one arm around her.

She smacked her lips and shot me a look. I looked down at her and started laughing. "What?"

She rolled her eyes and laid her head back down. I locked my phone and slid it into my pocket. I placed my free arm behind my head and looked around her room as we just lay there in silence. Which was fine, I was enjoying her company alone. I knew Jalissa's favorite color was pink by just looking at her room alone. The walls were pink, the curtains were white with pink and as was her bed spread and pillows. Her desk chair was pink, and her drawers had pink in them. Even the drapes to open her closet were pink. In one are of her room she had magazine cut outs and quotes. She had pictures of her from when she was a baby till her current age. Everything was nice and neat and you could tell she kept it that way.

After about 5, almost 10, minutes went by I broke the silence. "You tired?"

She nodded her head on my chest.

"Go to sleep."

She nodded her head again, and when I looked down at her, her eyes were already closed. I rubbed her back as she fell asleep on my chest. Jalissa was my little baby. I took a picture of me and a sleeping Jalissa and posted it on Instagram. She was so damn beautiful.

I was awoken by the sound of Alex's voice and my eyes immediately shot open. I was a very light sleeper.

"Jalissa. Eli. Theres breakfast down stairs."

I yawned as I nodded my head to Alex. I looked down when I noticed Jalissa wasn't budging. I patted her butt and called her name softly.

"Jalissa, are you hungry?" I asked quietly.

Soft inhales and exhales was all I got back. I smiled to myself. She was burnt out. I decided to let her continue sleeping. I pulled out my phone and it was only 8.

A little less than ten minutes later, Alex came busting in the room again.

"She still sleep?" She asked shocked.

I laughed and nodded.

She smacked her lips. "Ole heavy sleeping ass." She mumbled. "Jalissa get yo ass up it's food downstairs!" She said loudly.

Jalissa's eyes opened slowly and she rose looking around confused. "Oh shit.." She said looking down at me.

"Hurry up." Alex said before disappearing down the hallway.

I put both my hands behind my head and smiled up at Jalissa. "What?"

She shook her head and started smiling, looking down at me. "I thought I was still dreaming." She admitted, followed by a cute laugh.

I laughed. "Naw you woke."

"I know...Alex made sure of that." She said with a slight eye roll. "My breathe probably smells like shit." She said covering her mouth and hopping off my lap. She ran into the bathroom and I laughed.

"You straight!" I called.

She ignored me and began brushing. She reached under the sink and pulled out a bag of tooth brushes. She pulled one out and waved it to me. She spit into the sink, "I always keep around extra."
