Egypt Hoskins

10:43 am

"Egypt!"

I felt a tap on my arm

"Hmmm?"

"Get up! Ain't you supposed to be going to Kira house?"

I sat up, rubbing my eyes and let out a yawn. I must've ended up falling asleep on the couch and Carson was still right beside me knocked out with his pacifier hanging out of his mouth

"What time is it?"

"Eleven" Vaeh told me while she picked Carson up and he fell right back asleep on her shoulder "let me get Carson dressed"

I waved her off and she smiled, going down the hall with him. The door opened and my momma walked in with a smile on her face as she carried papers and stuff in her hand. Once she saw me sitting on the chair her smile went away a little

"You just getting up?"

I nodded, stretching my arms out

"We fell asleep on the couch"

"Where Carson at?"

"Vaeh just took him... when did you leave?"

"I been gone all morning handling some business"

"For work?"

She shook her head smiling again "no. We finally moving"

When she said that I work all the way up

"Moving?"

"Yeah. Right down the road though so it's nothing major. What's that girl that stay down the road? She graduated with Christian last year"

"Essence?"

"Yeah. You know where they stay?"

I nodded

"Two houses down from them. So you'll be a lot closer to Mrs Gee.. or should I say Tremaine?"

I smiled while shaking my head and stood up

"Plus it's four bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, a nice backyard and a lot more space inside"

Seeing the excitement on her face made me smile even more. I could just feel how happy she was right now

" you dreams finally coming true"

"Tell me about it. And I already got the keys so.. we can start packing up"

"Forreal?!"

"Yeah. So after I drop you off ima come back home and that's what we doing today and tomorrow"

"Y'all gone need help?"

"No. Them kids got it. You'll just get you and Carson stuff when you get back home. Now go ahead and get dressed"

I went into the room and grabbed my clothes then went to take a shower. Once I was done and got dressed for the day I went into the living room and saw Vaeh on the couch with Carson who was in tuned to spongebob

"You really think my baby yours"

"He is" she told me before looking down at him "he love his auntie Vaeh"

"Auntie Vaeh better have all that shit picked up before I get back" momma said as she walked into the living room with her keys in her hands "you ready egypt?"

"Yeah. I just gotta get my bag off the bed"

"Well go get it. Come on baby. Ima go ahead and put you in the car" she grabbed Carson from Vaeh and he instantly started smiling. I went in the room and grabbed my bag along with my charger and phone then headed out to the car where she and Carson were waiting for me. As she started driving the car was silent for a few minutes until she spoke up
