Lauren's POV

I pull up to the house and use my spare key to get in, I look around the living room, not seeing her.

"Justine!!" I call out

"I'm in the room!" She yells back

I walk to her room to see her putting on a hat.

"Hey there" I smile

"Hey there" I smile

"Hey" She says, hugging me

I hug her back and tap her hat.

"What you doing today?" I ask

"Hangin with KeKe" She says

I nod my head and lean against the doorframe. Justine and I started dating when we were sixteen, we had a great relationship but we just grew apart by the time we were twenty, it was a mutual breakup. We're still great friends though. Just as I'm about to say something, a voice cuts me off.

"Mama!!"

I look down and smile at my four year old daughter, Aaliyah.

"Hi baby" I say, picking her up

"Hi baby" I say, picking her up

She wraps her little arms around my neck and I hug her tightly. Justine and I had her when we were eighteen, she's my best accomplishment and my biggest Blessing.

I spin us around and kiss her cheek as she laughs like that was the best thing ever.

"Whea's the candy?" She asks

"That's all you care about? You don't want me?" I ask, fake offended

"I do but I want candy" She says

"Wait till we get in the car, go say bye to mommy" I say, putting her down

We say bye to Justine and head out to the car, I strap her into the booster seat and hand her the candy.
