Summer's mine
I swear I said about a hundred times, I'm gonna need it back
I wish that you would come and find me
Just to tell me that I haven't changed, girl I needed that from you
I'm getting money just taking care of me, girl
I'm spending time just taking care of me right now
I'm getting money just taking care of me, girl
Cause you'd be tired of taking care of me by now
But the good ones go
The good ones go, if you wait too long
But the good ones go
The good ones go, if you wait too long
So you should go
You should go, before you stay too long
Don't you go getting married, don't you go get engaged
I know you're getting older, don't have no time to waste
I shouldn't be much longer but you shouldn't have to wait
Can't lose you, can't help it, I'm so sorry, I'm so selfish
Uh, uh, I've been chilling in the city where the money's thrown high and the girls get down
In case you're starting to wonder why my new shit's sounding so H-town
But when it's all done, baby, I'm yours if you're still around
She knows, she knows, she knows
- Drake, Good Ones Go
I opened my front door holding Ming in my arms. I pulled her small suitcase behind me walking into the living room. Sam had set up a ‘Welcome Back’ poster that stretched from one side of my mums’ living room to the other. When Ming laid eyes of Sam she slid down me and ran into his arms. Sam bent down picking her up. To my surprise she immediately started crying, complaining about how much she missed him and how much she loved him. I watched my little sister in disbelief.
Jim and mum trailed behind me with their much larger suitcases depositing them in the corner. Jim grinned at the poster whilst my mum also went to hug Sam.
“We missed you!” She said as they embraced. Sam shared a short embrace with Jim.
“I know. It’s been so hectic without you.” My mum smiled obviously happy that she had been missed.
“Aaliyah was telling us all about it on the drive from the airport.” Jim noted removing his jacket.
“Yeah. Who knew planning a wedding would be this hard?”
“It’s worth it, Sam. Trust me.” Jim said. I cooed at how much my mother and Jim were still in love with each other. They had been on the ‘honeymoon phase’ for the past 5 years.
“Sammy,” Ming said getting Sam’s attention. “I got you a present.”
“Did you?” Sam asked surprised. He put Ming down on the floor as she opened her small suitcase. She removed a tiny gift wrapped box, one that could probably hold a ring. Sam opened his mouth wide as she opened the box revealing the pendant. It was gold with an infinity sign. It was way too small for Sam’s neck.
