🌑That EVening🌑

Costa: (sleep)

You: (buckling him in the seat)

-your phone rings-

You: (look in the front seat and hurry to press silence)

Your POV: Nate...I don't feel like it..

You:(hit ignore)

Taylor: (standing on the porch)

You: (shut the back door then look at her)

Taylor: (looks down at her feet)

You: (get in the car then drive off)

☕️home☕️

You: (doing some cleaning)

-someone knocks on the door-

Your pov: 😳Nate?

You: (peep through the hole then open the door) April! What are you doing here?

April: I'm sorry we were going to call. But I thought we could have a little movie night..dinner maybe.

You: um sure..come in.

April and Khalil: (walks in)

You: (to Khalil) Costa's sleeping. But in sure he'll wake up if you go to his room.

April: I brought some food. It's in the car.

You: April you really didn't have too.

April: come..help me get it.

✌️25 minutes later✌️

You: (cutting up sausages) I remember the last time you made jumbalaya, Costa ate 2 bowls.

April: (laughs)

You: (start back cutting)

April: (looks at you) How are you feeling y/n?

You: (look at her) ...I'm feeling good.(looks back at the knife) why'd you ask?

April: (goes to the sink and put water in a pot)

Khalil: (runs in) aunt y/n. Costa isn't playing fair.

You: what's wrong baby?

Khalil: he won't let me do anything.

You: Costa!

Costa: (comes in the kitchen)

You: what's going on? (Wipes your hand on a towel) why aren't you letting Khalil do anything?

Costa:(looks down shaking his head)

You: hm? (Squat down and hold his hands)

Khalil: he says I'm just supposed to lay down because I had to many drugs.

April: 😳

You: (look at her then back at Costa) Costa..baby is that true?

Costa: (nods)

You: You can't play like that okay?

Costa: but..(gto)

You: Costa.

Costa: okay..

You: (stand up)

Costa: (looks at Khalil) I'm sorry Khalil.

Khalil: want to play something else?

Costa: (looks at you)

You:go on..no drugs.

(They run off)

You: (take a deep breath and turn back to the cutting board)

April: y/n.

You: (look at her with tears in your eyes) I'm so sorry April. I see why Jacob doesn't want you around me.

April: well to bad..he can't stop me. I'd rather Khalil know a little something about drugs than to grow up beating on his girlfriend.

You: (wipe your face with your shirt)

April: why didn't you tell me?

You: I didn't want to worry you.

April: are you really okay now?

You: (nod) honestly.

April: that's all that matters. Just promise me if you're feeling...like you need someone to talk to you'll call me.

You: I promise.

April: (walks to the stove)

You: how'd you find out?

April: I got a call from that little cop. What's his name?

You: (smile a little) Officer Craig?

April: Yeah Him.(turns on the stove)

You: trust me, there's nothing little about him.

April: y/n! (Looks at you)

You:(shrug)

April: you're playing right?

You: how long does it take again?

April: oh no we're not switching subjects.(fold her arms)

You:(turn away and smile)

April: (smiles)

April's POV: at least she's happy and he cares.

April: me too..(opens the door)

Nate: (standing on your porch)

April: (jumps and pushes Khalil behind her)

Nate: looking for you baby.

You: can I excuse my guest?
