Lauren's POV

*Dream*

Normani straddles me and buries her hands into my hair, slowly massaging my scalp.

"Does this happen often?" She asks

"No, this only the second time since I've been working for him" I say

"You scared?" She asks

"A little nervous but not scared" I mumble

She leans down and places a light kiss on my lips, she looks deep into my eyes and rub her thumb over my bottom lip.

"I'll be by your side through it all" She says

"I know you got me" I smile

*Dream Over*

I jolt awake and look around the room, only thing I see is Aaliyah's head on my arm and the TV showing 'Rags'. I let out a long breath and rub my head, that dream felt so damn real.

When I can't think of the right words to say I just sing oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I can look into your eyes all day and just say oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

I wanna harmonize with your melody and we'll sing oh oh oh oh

Ain't it a perfect harmony

You got me

I got you

The song that's playing in the movie is the same song that was playing in the dream...nah fuck that, this too much, I turn the TV off and stare up at the ceiling. I don't know why I'm having these dreams but maybe it means nothing.

I look over at the time and groan when I see it's after 8:30, I wake Aaliyah up then get us ready for the day.

*************************************************

I open the door to Miguel, Kehlani, and Bryson, we go into my room.

"Where's Aaliyah?" Bryson asks

"Napping" I say

I grab one of my guns out the closet and wave it at them.

"Y'all brung dummies?" I chuckles

"Homemade shooting range" Miguel smirks

I laugh and cock the gun.

"I'm going first" I say

Kehlani nods her head and stands the dummy upright.

"Shoot me and I'll stomp you" She says

"Stomp me with yo Timbs Daddy? You know I like that rough shit" I grin

"Anyway, go" She says

She moves it side to side and I shoot, watching it push through the chest.

"IT ALMOST HIT MY ARM!" Kehlani yells

"No one told you to handhold a target practice dummy!"

"Fuck You" She laughs

We do a few other things then I go into Aaliyah's room to wake her up. She whines and shakes her head, I stand her up and lightly shake her to get her up more.

"You hungry?" I ask

She nods her head and reaches for me to hold her.

"You're almost five, this is gonna stop soon" I say

She frowns and grabs my face.

"No" She mumbles

"I thought you weren't a baby" I smirk

"I not but I want you" She says, laying her head on my chest

"You're so adorable, I could never stop babying you" I say

I walk into the kitchen and Aaliyah practically jumps out my arms when she sees the others.

"Well damn child" I say

"She excited to see her Auntie" Kehlani smiles

"Actually she's excited to see her Uncle"

"Actually you imbeciles, she's here for her favorite cousin"
