Wild rose, Jericho sun, arid as stone

For your love, for your lover to find

Aorta, tattoo the artery with acute artistry

For your love, for your lover to find

Breathing Underwater

I have the music blasting from my phone as I curl my hair as I get ready for dinner tonight. As I do my hair I hear the front door open and close. I walk out the bathroom and I see King take off his shirt and grab the clothes he wearing tonight.

"Hey," I say and he smiles.

"Wassup" He smiles, "You find a dress" He ask me about my mom and that make me think of Kesha.

"yeah, it's right there" I point to it on the bed, "And guess who I ran into" I laugh.

"who"He looks back at me.

"the girl from ihop a long time ago, you said she was your ex," I tell him and he starts laughing. "She was a little extra but I put her back in line," I tell him.

"Is that right, what you do" He laughs.

"Nothing just told her mad ass to move it along move it along," I tell him and he shakes his head.

"Yeah ok" He walks up to me and pecks me on my lips and walks in the bathroom.

I pull up to Dreka house where my mom stays and I grab the dress and walk up to the door and knock on it and the door swings open and I see Dreka.

"Hey girl, love your dress" she opens the screen door and pulls me into a hug.

"hey, thanks" I hug her back and I see Jaz sitting on the ground with half of her hair down.

"Nikki downstairs" Dreka tells me.

"Hey Joy," Jaz says.

"Hi Jaz," I tell her and I walk downstairs.

"Mom" I walk down the steps and I see her straighten her hair.

"Oh hi baby" she turns and smiles and I give her the dress.

"This the dress" she asks me.

"Yeah," I tell her.

"I love it" she smiles and goes in the bathroom.

About 20 minutes later we head upstairs and see Jaz watching tv.

"Where your momma Jaz" My mom ask Jaz.

"She outside" She points to the door. We go outside with Dreka.

"Yall out," Dreka ask as we walk out the door.

"Yeah, I'll see you, later on, tonight," My mom tells her and we head to my car.

We pull up Ms.Grace house and we get out.

"You ready," I ask her and she smiles and nods her head. We walk up to the house and knock on the door. Then the door opens and it's King.

"Hey baby" HE smiles and pulls me into a hug.

"Hey, this is my mom Nikki," I say to him and he smiles and holds his hand out.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Nikki," He says and she shakes his hand.

"Nice to meet you too," She says and we walk in and we see Ms.Grace coming from the kitchen.

"Oh hey, sweetie," She says and pulls me into a hug.

"Hey mama Grace," I say.

"This is my mom.."

"Nikki?" She cuts me off and looks my mom.
