Truths

Aubrie

I decided to stop to Devun's house before I went to the hospital to get the twins who were coming home today. I've been up there everyday for the past two weeks. They're doing really good and can finally breathe on their own so as a result, they can come home, but under very strict conditions.

We did major shopping while they were in the hospital. Tylar and Makel had a few things for Makenzee, but because those 3 months left to prepare were cut short and another child was in the picture, we all had to pitch in.

Me and mom put the nursery together.  It was originally painted light purple for Makenzee but because of Junior, we decided to go over half of the light purple and paint it light blue.

I was excited for Makenzee and Junior to come home. However, I knew with two newborns, it was going to be the struggle.

Makel was spending the night with Tylar to help out on the first night. I tried to convince my parents to let Devun spend the night to help out as well, but with 2 grandkids at the age of 36 and 39, they said hell no.

The great thing besides the twins that came out of Tylar's pregnancy was that we finally got our cars! They knew Tylar would need dependable transportation,  more dependable than them. So they gave her a car. Which means I got one too because all hell would've broke loose if they didn't.

We've both always wanted Jeep brand cars. I got a black 2012 Jeep Wrangler.  Tylar wanted one too, but with 2 kids, daddy said she needed a more family style car. So Tylar got a red 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Because we got 2012 cars my dad's exact words were "don't ask me for shit else". But sorry to bust his bubble because I need $300 for cheer camp next week.

I pulled up to Devun's house with a couple hours to spare before I had to head to the hospital.  I knocked on the door and was greeted moments later with a shirtless and sleepy looking Devun, just the way I like him. He pulled me into a tight hug and my lungs were invaded with his Polo cologne.

Devun closed the door and led me to the couch. He sat down and pulled me down onto his lap.

"Wassup baby?" He asked, showcasing his big white teeth.

"Nothing much.  Excited for Makenzee and Junior to come home. Wassup with you?

"Bored as hell ever since basketball season ended. I'm finna start playing AAU now. You gone come to my games?"

"Of course" I said while eyeing Devun down and licking my lips.

"You know sometimes after the games, I need massages. You gone do those for me?" Devun asked.

Devun pulled me off of his lap and sat me down next to him.

"Of course" I said again.

"And sometimes after the games I need food. You gone cook for me?"

I nodded my head and bit down on my bottom lip.

Devun licked his lips and hovered over me. I pulled on one of his dreads, knowing he likes when I do that.

"You gone take showers with me too?" He asked slyly.

I laughed heavily as I put my hand up to his chest pushing him off of me.

"Slow your roll boo." I said winking.

"Aubrie, you know you be teasing a nigga right? It's been damn near 6 months and-

"And it's about to be another 12 months if you don't shut the hell up."

It's not that I wasn't ready to have sex. I just wasn't ready for the emotional attachment that came with it. I loved Devun.  Just like I loved KJ. Sex would only complicate my feelings. I just didn't have time for it.
