Hakeem POV

*thump* Brazil ass has pushed me out the bed for the third time this week. I just got off the floor and shook my head. I decided to just go ahead and stay up. I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. After I finished, I went to go check on Asia. She was up blowing bubbles and playing with her feet. I smiled as she reached for me. Damn I loved when she did that. "Hey pretty girl," I cooed, "Let's go fix you a bottle and make ya rough sleeping ass mama some breakfast." She giggled showing me all her gums.

"I really love you. I love you Asia," I sang remixing Ask of You by Raphael Saadiq to Asia. "Boy if you don't quit hurting my baby ears," Brazil said scaring me. I mugged her, "Ya mama a hater Lil Bit." She laughed, "Nigga you ain't shit to hate on and what you call yourself cooking?" I placed a plate of cheesy hash browns with bacon, cinnamon toast, and fruit in front of her. This nut tasted it and started doing a happy dance. My baby loves food. These past few weeks I've learned a lot about her and Asia. "Well Mrs Dawson, it must be good," I said laughing. She flipped me off. She hated when I noticed things about her. We sat in a comfortable silence. Well except for Asia talking baby talk as she ate her breakfast. "What we doing for Lil Bit birthday," I asked causing Brazil to choke. "I got it," she said clearing our plates. I rolled my eyes, "Well Superwoman lemme know how much everything cost. I'm serious Brazil!" She sighed, "Fine!" I walked up to her and hugged her waist. "What you got going today," I asked. She shrugged, "Nothing until we gotta go to my daddy's house for this oh so urgent dinner. He's been acting real strange lately and I need to know what the fuck going on!" I rubbed her back. This woman always on edge. She just need me to snatch her soul and boy when I do, she gone be Aite.

Brazil POV

We're on our way to my daddy house and Hakeem driving so damn slow. "Hakeem Roderick Davis! You driving so damn slow for what reason," I asked. "Guh if you don't sit back and relax," he said laughing. This mothafucka think everything funny. After thirty minutes of driving, we finally pulled up to my daddy house. I busted in the house to the smell of gumbo and a woman laughing. I automatically assumed it was Tracy. I walked into the kitchen to see Stephanie! I immediately ran to her crying, "Mama, when did you get out?" She smiled, "Two days ago thanks to ya husband and daddy." I turned to see Hakeem in the doorway. I gave him the tightest hug and kissed him without even thinking. "Bout time you start voluntarily giving me some suga. I'm gone let y'all catch up," he said handing Asia to me. Damn this mane gives me butterflies.
