Tamir Laith Wright

I unwrapped my arms from around Harmony and got in the shower.

I was going out do some important things today.

I threw on some clothes and kissed Harmony on her forehead, leaving out the room.

The kids were sitting on the couch, yawning.

I picked them both up, taking them out the house.

We pulled up to my mom's house and she came and got the kids.

"I'll be by later." I said as I got back in the car.

She waved me off, going in the house and closing the door.

I pulled in the parking lot to see Ahmad and Denzel in their cars.

"Nigga, how you tell us to be here at a certain time?" Ahmad said.

"And then be late?" Denzel spoke after him.

I smacked my lips.

"Man, whatever. I'm here." I said as we walked into the jewelry store.

I scaled the walls before a lady came up to us.

"Can I help you?" She asked us.

"I'm looking for a few things." I said as we followed her.

We talked for an hour before I finalized my purchase.

"Come back again." She said as we left out.

Me and the guys chopped it up before we headed separate ways.

As soon as I got in the car, Harmony called me.

"Where are you and the kids?" She asked instantly.

"With Ma. I'm out." I said as I pulled off.

"Out where?" She questioned.

"Getting shit done, Harmony." I sighed.

"Mhm, whatever Tamir. When you coming home?" She asked.

"On my way now." I said as I pulled into IHOP's parking lot.

"Can you bring me breakfast?" She said quietly.

"Yeah." I said as I got out.

"Thank you, Mir. I love you." She said.

I responded and we hung up.

That attitude gotta go.

I ordered our food and called my mom.

"Can I leave this at your house? She'll find it if I take it home?" I asked.

"Of course! I'll keep it safe." She answered.

"Do you need me to come get the kids?" I said.

"No, I'm gonna keep them. They're sleeping." She laughed.

I shook my head.

Just like they mama.

We made small talk and I hung up when our food was ready.

I took it home, making it there in 15 minutes.

Harmony sat across from me at the table, eating.

"Where'd you go?" She asked me.

I smirked, not saying anything.

"You not gon tell me?" She asked again.

I shook my head no, making her roll her eyes.

"Fine, Tamir. Don't ask me for shit." She said, stomping around the kitchen.

She walked near me so I pulled her into my arms.

"Let me go." She said, trying to move my arms.

I kissed on her face, making her start slapping me away.

I laughed, keeping her next to me.

"You'll know where I went soon enough." I said, making her smack her lips.

I let her go and she moved around the room, making quieter footsteps.

I smirked, knowing that she was calm now.

Yeah, this needed to be done and soon.
