Kelsey woke up around 9:23 to start making breakfast for azeir so she could get him ready for today .

Dakota had invited Kelsey to dinner and another game night at his place and of course she accepted because she loved being around him .

“Azeir baby stop running your gonna hurt yoursel-” Kelsey stop her sentence once she seen azeir slip right before he made it to the kitchen.

On cue azeir started whining since he had hit his knee making her rush and pick him up “see that’s why you don’t run , you want tt to kiss it ?”

Azeir nodded so Kelsey kissed his knee twice making him stop crying and hug her tighter making her smile .

Kelsey had always wanted kids especially with Harlem she felt like he would’ve been a perfect dad but obviously he didn’t want one with her and it always made her somewhat sad because she Thought they both shared the same dream.

Walking in the kitchen with azeir on her hip she used one hand to take all the sausages off the pan and onto the plate .

“Munchkin what you want on your plate?” She asked putting him down .

“Uh I want sausage bacon and egg” he responded very clearly.

Azeir was very smart he started pronouncing full sentences at the age of 1 which was very shocking .

Kelsey made his plate sitting it on the table then helped him onto the chair “Apple juice or Minute Maid baby?”

“I want uh…” azeir thought for a second “tt I don’t kno” he huffed

One thing about azeir was he always get frustrated when he didn’t know what he wanted but people who were close to him knew how to deal with it .

“It’s okay baby how about I just mix it ?, it’ll taste good.” Kelsey suggested and instantly he started smiling while nodded his head .

Pouring both into the cup she sat it infront of him watching him start to eat .

The night before azeir was very sad that he was going back today so she planned a little date with him which she was taking him to get ice cream and build a bear .

A hour had passed and azeir and Kelsey had eaten she cleaned the kitchen and now had him dressed so they could get going .

“Azeir look at the camera show them pretty teeth” she encouraged him to smile since he was still feeling down about leaving .

After getting smile out of him she took the picture then slid her phone in her neck pocket .

“Tt I don’t wanna go” azeir frowned making her frown aswell .

“Awnn munchkin you making me sad , how about I come get you again tomorrow and you stay the night again?” Kelsey questioned opening the front door .

“You promise?”he asked as they walked outside to her car

“I promise munchkin”Kelsey responded picking him up and putting him in the car strapping his seat belt.

She hated that her brother lived so far away till this day she disliked it but he was grown and it was best he got out of here since he was deep in the streets before he got amina pregnant.

-LATER THAT DAY-

Kelsey pulled up to her brother Air bnb as azeir was in the back knocked out- texting her brother she was outside she waited a few before she seen him coming out walking toward the car

Kelsey got out car hugging her brother “yo son back there knocked out”

“Word? What y’all did today?”micah questioned peeking in the back seat looking at azeir

“Took him to get ice cream and build a bear I think that really took him out” Kelsey laughed “what all you did ik for sure you wasn’t in the house all day”

“I hung out with sk we chilled and shit nothing to serious” Micah scratched the back of his neck

Kelsey face scrunched her face up hearing sk name since he was the reason her brother got in the streets anyway ” Micah really? You said you was done with that , like why you hanging out with him?”

“Kelsey I promise I was done with the streets I got a whole son to worry about I’m not no lil kid no more he jus hit me up asking to smoke and I was down , is that so bad?”micah sighed

“Micah I’m just looking out for you I just don’t want you living that lifestyle again you know I love you ” Kelsey smiled hugging him.

-THAT NIGHT-

Kelsey sat outside her car waiting for Dakota to come outside. It was around 7:00 and he was taking her to dinner but Kelsey just wanted to stay in.

Seeing Dakota come outside she smiled opening the door and getting out ” wassup pretty girl “

“Heyyyy dakotaa feels so long since I seen you”Kelsey laughed pulling him into a hug.

Of course he hugged her back smelling the vanilla scent she always had on in his opinion it smelt good asf . “Nawl frl but come on I already ordered the food and everything set up”.

That was one reason why she like hanging out with Dakota because he had everything planned and didn’t bargain her with questions of what she wanted to do .

Dakota grabbed her hand walking her up in the house and of course the set up he had was very nice .

The movie was already picked out , the games was stacked on the floor with two pillows infront of eachother, covers on the couch , and the food sitting on the table. Everything was nice .

“Okay Dakota this is so sweet man” Kelsey smiled showing all her teeth .

“Smiling extra hard , whatchu wanna do?” He laughed taking a seat on the couch.

A few minutes had passed and the two were just playing games but they were playing truth or shot as of right now .

Music played lowly in the back since Kelsey thought it would set the vibe so he turned it on for her .

“wait – wait a fucking minute is this my song ?” Kelsey jumped up hearing pretty lady .

-play the music now-

“Girl what you know bout this?”dakota questioned watching her dance slowly to the music

“Man everything my momma would always play this song while cooking , cleaning up , really anything and me and my cousin would just nod our head” Kelsey laughed thinking back

“Come on get up dance with me”Kelsey pulled Dakota up to the middle of the floor then grabbed his hand .

“Okay move your feet one at a time like this” Kelsey taught him how to slow dance since he didn’t know how to .

Quickly Dakota learned and started following every move she would do , in this  moment Kelsey felt just like her mother and father when they were dancing in the kitchen to this song while she watched in amazement.

Dakota spun her around pulling her back close making her laugh ” can I slow dance with you pretty lady” Dakota sung so off key .

“Dakota you did very good, but that singing has the go literally”Kelsey laughed sitting back on the  couch.

She couldn’t lie and say she wasn’t a little tipsy because she in fact was but she was enjoying herself .

“Chill on me I can sing frl” Dakota laughed sitting beside her .

“Okay well show me let’s do karaoke, and I’m going first” Kelsey smiled standing up grabbing the remote going to YouTube .

Kelsey typed in I got this record by j-wonn ” I’m boutta go kill it you ain’t even ready”

Dakota shook his head watching her dance weirdly before she started singing.

“I got this record , that I wanna play about this woman that cheated on meee” Kelsey slid to the floor but stood back up quickly to catch the other note .

“She cheated with jodie!”she sung loudly making Dakota buss out laughing .

“Okay because we got a bum in the back cackling like some funny , you can’t do no better” Kelsey stopped singing facing him .

At this point Dakota was full of laughter especially after she heard her call him a bum”you never just called me bum , gimme the damn remote lemme show you how it done fat head”
