Smiling at his work, Richard grabbed the tray full of food and slowly made his way upstairs. Walking up to Aleesha's study he pushed the door open with his bum and walked in. He set the tray on the far end of the desk and walked up behind Aleesha, whose focus was trained between her notepad and her desktop. Placing his hands on her shoulders Richard slowly began to work on her tightened muscles earning a sigh of content from Aleesha as she slipped her glasses off her face and sat them down
"You've got to stop overworking yourself" Richard said softly "If i don't do it whose going to?" Aleesha asked "it's my company anyways" "I get that ma, but you have a whole team of people who are hired to help you. Use them" Richard advised "You're speaking as if i've been in here for 6 hours" Aleesha said leaning back into his touch "7" Richard said smoothly "You've been sitting in front of that desktop for 7 hours. I'm starting to think you're having an affair" "If i was having an affair you'd know" Aleesha laughed "I'd be in jail" Richard smiled
He moved to sit on the desk, facing Aleesha. Now he had a clear view of how she looked. Her eyes were slightly sunken, her eyes no longer bright but more tired and sullen. He let out a sigh
"I made you lunch" Richard said pointing to the tray "and don't say you're not hungry cause all you had was tea and toast" "I was going to say i wanna slap first" Aleesha said getting up "The boys and I have to finish off Honey Boo, so i'll join you right after" Richard smiled "Don't be too long" Aleesha said rubbing her eyes
Richard watched as she disappeared out the door and listened for the door to open and close signalling she was in their room. He sat down on her chair and began saving what was left open and packing up her documents neatly. He was almost done when something caught his eye
New Building plans (New York)
New building plans? New York? Richard shook his head. There was no way Aleesha was moving, not anytime soon. And definitely not without him. He saw what long distance did to Ray and Erick and he wasn't mentally or emotionally strong to do go through that everyday all day. A knock at the study door pulled his attention from his thoughts.
"Come in" he said finishing up "Oh it's you, i thought Aleesha sounded different" Christopher joked "Erick's here let's get started" "Cool i'll be down in a second" Richard mumbled
Christopher closed the door and made his way downstairs to their home studio. Zabdiel was sat in video call on a laptop.
"We see that Caribbean glow" Joel smirked "And that post sex hair" Christopher added laughing "Hey we're married let us be" Zabdiel laughed "Breaking beds and backs i see" Richard chuckled closing the door "We're married so whatever i break is our business anyways" Zabdiel said "Right where is the misssus?" Richard asked "Knocked out" Zabdiel said "Ain't it like 4PM?" Erick asked "Yes and?" Zabdiel questioned "Mind your own business get up out my shit" "oh- okay sis let's start" Richard said starting to turn the knobs
The boys worked their magic on the track, adding their vocals just as Zabdiel had instructed. Once they felt content with how the song was sounding Zabdiel bid his farewells and ended the call.
"Anyways i'mma head out" Erick said grabbing his jacket "Wait up man how about lunch?" Joel asked "I want to but i'm tired" Erick sighed "You look it" Richard comment "did you get any sleep?" "Missus keeping you up?" Christopher smirked "Nah not like that" Erick laughed "I had- i had another nightmare" "Dude, i thought you said they stopped" Richard said concerned "They did- after i met Ray they really stopped but i have no idea last night- it wasn't my mom anymore.... it was Ray" Erick swallowed "Fuck dude" Joel cussed "maybe it's time" "Time? no she's only seen this once. I'm sure it was a once off thing anyways" Erick shrugged "What if it's not?" Joel asked "you know Ray, she's a curious one" "She's going to ask questions" Christopher added "And i'll tell her when i'm ready to but as for now i'm not" Erick explained "You know- "Look back off dude- i know my own wife" Erick snapped at Christopher before leaving
Zabdiel made his way over to the side where Aaliyah was sleeping. He sat down as softly as possible trying not to wake her but failing as she stirred and woke up
"How long have i been sleeping?" Aaliyah yawned "2 hours" Zabdiel answered gently "No i said wake me after an hour" Aaliyah said fixing her dress "But you looked so cute and you're tired mi amor you spent literally the whole day and night exploring Cuba" Zabdiel said watching her fix her hair "That's because i've never been so i wanna see every inch before i leave" Aaliyah explained plainly "now let's go" "No" Zabdiel said "No?" Aaliyah asked turning to him "No" Zabdiel repeated "we have dinner in 2 hours so get a shower and get ready for that" "Are you saying i smell?" Aaliyah asked sniffing her pits "Respectfully" Zabdiel said placing a kiss on her forehead and leaving "Asshole" Aaliyah mumbled
Erick placed his keys in the bowl next to the door, shrugging his jacket off and flopping onto the couch only to be attacked by Sienna smearing her paint covered hands off over his face
"Hey hey no paint on my masterpiece now" Ray laughed taking the giggling girl off her father "What is this?" Erick asked sitting up "Go wash your hands please mamas" Ray asked patting her bum lightly "uhm paint project for kindergarten" "You already taking her!" Erick exclaimed "Calm down, no but some of them want a small painting to see what she can do" Ray laughed "i wouldn't do you like that" "Thank God" Erick sighed "now i have to wash my face" "Let's go" Ray giggled "i have just the trick to get it off"
Erick sat on the bathroom counter as Ray grabbed her makeup wipes and proceeded to help get the paint off Erick's face. She gently ran the cold wipes over his face as she slowly began to notice the dark circles under his eyes which normally come when he's sleep deprived. She finished and threw them away but stayed inbetween his legs
"You good fam?" Ray asked "Yeah why?" Erick asked "Erick you know you can talk to me. Through thick and thin i'm here baby" Ray said softly tracing his jaw "I know" Erick said leaning more into her touch "About last night- "It was nothing" Erick said quickly getting off the counter and walking out of the bathroom
He quickly attacked Sienna with tickles as Ray watched from the doorway with a small smile.
