I woke up to a knock on the door.
" Come in." I say my voice gravely. Taleah walks in dressed in a white suit and a slicked back ponytail.
" Good Morning." She says as she sits down in the desk chair. I give her a nod before going back to sleep only to be waken up jot even 5 minutes later
" go away." I groan only to be ignored.
" Baby you gotta get up please." Mommy says and I sit up.
" What time is it?" I ask as I rub my eyes.
" One oclock." She says and I raise my brow.
" Really?" I ask and she nodded.
" Can you get dressed please?" She asked and I nodded. I got up and I grabbed the clothes I set out on the night stand I walked to the bathroom where I took a cold shower to wake up. I get put and I get dressed, I get on a rainbow sweater and some Jean's.
" Here baby." She says as she hands me a bottle of pills and some water.
" I don't want that." I say as I go to brush my teeth.
" Reed just take it." She says and I sigh.
" Fine." I say taking it our her hands. I take the pill and I look ar her with a smile. I brush my hair quickly and I plop down on the bed.
" Where are we going?" I ask and she shrugs
" Its a surprise." She says and I pout
" Come on you need to eat." She says and i shake my head.
" I'm not hungry." I say and she sighs
" wait can I have a poptart?" I ask
" I dont have any Prince." She says and I pout.
" i have pop tarts at home." I say and she thinks for a moment.
" We can go." She says and I jump up.
" I should not renew my lease." I say as we walk outside. I get into the passenger seat and Taleah gets into the drivers side.
" Am I your favorite captive?" I ask betting my eyelashes.
" Sure Reed." She says and I nod. When we get there I see Emma on the phone.
" Um hi." I say nervously rubbing my neck as I step out the car.
" Where the fuck have you been!" She yells and I flinch.
" Hey Hey I'm sorry I just got worried." She says gently grabbing my shoulders and pulling me to her.
" Are you hurt and you okay?" She asks inspecting me
" Oh yeah yeah I'm great." I say and she stares into the windshield
" Who is that, and why the fuck-" she says and I interrupt her
" Its nothing, but I am moving so I wont be around here much but I'll come and see you." I say and I she her frown
" With her?" She asks walking to knock on the window. I pull her away before Taleah could react.
" Can we please do this later." I whine and she rolls her eyes.
" Fine but call me later." She says and I nod I wave to her as she gets in the car. When she leaves Taleah steps out.
" Who in the hell was that?" She asks sounding upset.
" no one." I mumble as I walk to my door.
" Answer me." She says as I walk inside
" Please just drop it." I say and she objects quickly
" Just answer me." She says
" Cant talk with your mouthful." I say and before she should respond I stuff my mouth with a poptart.
" Answer the question." She says and I shake my head.
" 1." She says and I stay silent
"2." She says and I start to panic.
" 3." She says and I freeze.
" Okay okay She is a friend who has been worried." I say and she raises a brow.
" Just a friend?" She says and I nod slowly.
" we- Yeah just a friend." I say throwing away my trash.
" Yeah sure, I'll get it out of you." She says and I roll my eyes.
" Well come on we are going to get you a dog." She says and I smile.
" Can I name it Tiana or Spence." I ask excited and she chuckles.
" Whatever you want." She says and I smile. We get into the car and drive for a while. We arrive at a shelter and I hop out the car.
" Come on." I say hurrying to the door
" Taleah back again. Havent seen you in a while." The woman says cheery and Taleah smiles. I follow Taleah to the back and I see a Small dog with babies.
" Can I have one of the puppies?" I ask and she nods.
" can I have that one?" I ask as the worker picks the white puppy up
" Oh hi." I say and she hands me the puppy
" Can I have him?" I ask turning to Taleah and she nodded before turning to the woman. I hold the puppy as he gently licks my cheeks. Finally we are allowed to leave and we drive to a pet store. I go to get out but Taleah places a hand on my thigh. In a couple minutes a lady comes to the door and Taleah opens the trunk for her to put the stuff in.
" Reed." She says and I turn to her.
" Yes?" I say setting the puppy down onto the ground.
" So your friend."
"You're still talking about that?"
" Answer the question and we can go." She says and I go quiet.
" I'll give you to the count of five." She says and I roll my eyes
" it's not that big of a deal." I say as she starts to count"
" You're being an asshole." But she doesnt say anything but her numbers.
" You know what fine. We fucked 1 time." I say and she smiled
" Easy." She says and I pout grabbing my puppy.
" Can we go." I ask and she pulls off. We get home and I jump out the car. I grab Spence and and the things out the trunk and I walk inside leaving Taleah in the car. I walk to my room and I set the things down and I also gently set down Spence and I start to put the cage together.
" Hey Reed." Taleah says and I roll my eyes.
" I dont want to talk I'm busy." I say not facing her.
" You're so mean to me." She pouts sitting down on the bed.
" Yeah you would say that." I say setting the cage against the wall, next to the table that had Evelyn's terrarium on it. I hear Taleah huff but I ignore her.
" Hey Spence." I say rubbing his tummy.
" Here you go." I say setting him on his bed gently, halfway closing the cage door. He falls asleep quickly I set up his food and water bowl before turning to Taleah
" Come here." She says and I turn back around ignoring her.
" Now." She says her tone dropping but I ignore her. I hear her get up and I quickly stand up. I walk tonher on the bed and I stand in front of her and she pulls me into her lap.
" I'm sorry." She says and I try to pull my hands away from hers
" You're not sorry." I pout and she sighs.
" Baby I am." She says and she sounds sincere.
" Fine." I say and she smiles. In the blink of an eye Taleah flipped me to where she was on top of me my hand pinned to the bed.
" Wh-" I say before she kisses me.
