Kia Jones
The aroma of breakfast hit Kia's nose. Her eyes fluttered open and close, she squinted her eyes seeing the sunlight beaming through the curtains. Dom opened them all the way making her groan. Kia sucked her teeth and pulled the blanket over her head.
"Love wake your ass up." Dom sat the tray down on the dresser and yanked the blanket away
"Noooo." She whined covering her face with a pillow
Dom removed the pillow and hovered over her. Placing his arms on either side of her head.
"What's wrong?" He asked softly
Kia opened one eye and stared at him. "I don't feel good." She mumbled closing her eye back
"You've been saying that all week but your refusing to go to the doctor. The trip a week away we don't have to go if you don't feel good."
Kia shook her head. Dom repositioned himself so that he was sitting next to her. He used the back of his hand and felt around her forehead and neck.
"You don't feel like you have a fever or nothing. Maybe you just need some fresh air. We can have a date night today, now eat your food before it gets cold."
"I'm not hungry." She mumbled now laying on her back
Dom sighed and kissed her cheek. He stood up and grabbed the tray. He didn't know where this sudden sickness came from. Maybe it was a stomach virus or something. Placing the tray on the table he snapped his fingers at coco and her ears perked up.
"Come on." Dom walked to the side door and slid it open
Coco ran out and immediately started chasing after birds.
"To big for that shit." He mumbled shaking his head
"Don't bring yo fat ass over here."
Looking up Dom seen Senior and Angela walking up the sidewalk.
"Senior do you ever shut up damn, leave that dog alone."
"Angela shut the fuc- you know what Dominic come step on a crack. Sick of her."
"It's to early for this, what do y'all want?" He asked soon as they walked to the door
"Damn we can't come see you? Haven't heard from you in a week." Senior mugged him walking by
Angela rolled her eyes and hugged him. Dom kissed her cheek closing the door.
"Where's Kia?" Angela asked placing her purse on the cabinet
"She don't feel good."
"Still." She pouted walking towards the back where Kia was
"What she got Ebola or the Zika virus or something? If so..." Senior stood back up and covered his mouth with his shirt
"Ignorant!" Angela yelled. "Old bastard." She mumbled talking under her breath
"Senior chill out. Giving me a headache already."
