Just you and I

VII

I abruptly wake up when I hear the front door closing. I sit up and quietly get out of bed to not wake Sofia. I grab whatever I could find, which in my case, is a book. Would I make it out alive in a thief VS me with a book scenario? Absolutely not. But this is all I could find.

I sneak to my door and peak out my bedroom to the living room. I don't hear nor see anyone. I slowly walk in and look around. I notice that Ms. Jones isn't on the couch anymore. I walk to the bathroom and see that the clothes are gone too. Wow, okay then. Never thought anyone could be this disrespectful, but whatever.

At least I was the better person yesterday and made sure she wouldn't get in a car accident. The positive thing is that I won't have to explain anything to Sofia.

Since I'm up, I make Sofia's bag and lunch for school, make sure she did all her homework, eat my cereal and then go to the bathroom to shower.

I have quite some time and decide to dress up more than usual for school today. I pick out blue flared jeans and a white crop top. I straighten my hair and put some jewelry on. I put on some mascara and brush my teeth.

After all of that, I go wake up my little monster.

"Good morning princess" She slowly opens her eyes and stretches. She smiles when she sees me. She opens her arms and reaches for me.

I pick her up and hug her while I bring her to the kitchen. I put on some music while she eats her breakfast and do her hair. She wanted two bunnies today, which means two little buns, one on each side of her head. She looks adorable.

Once she's finished, we head to the her bedroom.

"Saylor why did you dress up today?"
I didn't think it'd be this noticeable.  

"I felt like it." She nods.

"Now you don't look homeless." I gasp.
"Excuse me missy!"

She starts crying laughing. I pick her up and tickle her. She begs for me to stop, but her little laughs are adorable. I put her down and she frowns, "rude".

I don't know where this attitude is coming from, but she's definitely growing up way too fast.

She picks out blue jeans and a white sweatshirt.

"Looks like I influenced you for your outfit today." I say proudly.

She shakes her head. "No, I influwienced you."

I laugh at her pronunciation, but nod. I grab her hand as we head for the bathroom to get her ready.

We head out the door just in time and drive off to her school. Surprisingly, she went in fine today, she hesitated a little at first, but then she saw Chloe waving at her so she said "Bye Saylor see you later. Love you" and ran off.

I didn't even have time to say bye. I don't mind, I'm happy for her and actually very proud of how far she's come. I say bye to Ms. Ellis and get to the parking lot.

I'm excited about today, because I think I finally figured out what to do for my Art project. I turn on my happy mood playlist when I get in my car and sing along while I drive to school.

She could say in her voice, in her way that she love me
With her eyes, with her smile, with her belt, with her hands, with her money
I am the thesis of her prayers
Her nieces and her nephews are just pieces of the layers
Only ones she love as much as me is Jesus Christ and Taylor
I got a future so I'm singing for my grandma
You singing too, but your grandma ain't my grandma
Mine's is hand made, pan fried, sun dried
South side, and beat the devil by a landslide
Praying with her hands tied, president of my fan club
Stand tall, something told me I should bring my butt to church
You gotta move it slowly
Take it in my body like it's holy
I've been waiting for you for the whole week
I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy
You gotta move it slowly
Take it in my body like it's holy
I've been waiting for you for the whole week
I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy
Come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
You better come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
I come to church for the candy, your peppermints is the truth
I'm pessimistic on Monday if I had tweaked and missed you
You look so good with that hat on, had to match with the shoes
Came and dressed in the satin, I came and sat in your pew
I come to Christmas for dinner, fifty rolls on my plate
Hella holes in my stocking holding your pockets in place
I like my love with a budget, I like my hugs with a scent
You smell like, light, gas, water, electricity rent
You sound like why the gospel choir got so tired
And his praise is daily basis so I gotta try it
You're my dream-catcher, dream team, team captain
Matter fact, I ain't seen you in a minute, lemme take my butt to church
You better come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
You better come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
You gotta move it slowly
Take it in my body like it's holy
I've been waiting for you for the whole week
I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy
You gotta move it slowly
Take it in my body like it's holy
I've been waiting for you for the whole week
I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy
You gotta move it slowly
Take it in my body like it's holy
I've been waiting for you for the whole week
I've been praying for you, you're my Sunday candy
Come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
You better come on in this house, 'cause it's gonna rain
Rain down tired, it's gonna rain
