Her eyes were still closed, but her mouth was moving. My heart smiled.
“Good morning, my love.”
“Are you going to stay there? Watching me snore?”
“It was only a little,” I lied.
Tiana even snored pretty.
“Hmmm.”
I anticipated the moment she opened those pretty big eyes. I’d been waiting for an hour and thirty-six minutes. I was fully clothed and prepared to get my day started with Balle’s early morning run.
“I want to join you all this morning.”
“Then what are you waiting for?”
“My body to align with my brain. I feel like I’ve been hit by a MAC truck.”
“Not quite, but something close.”
“And, you brought my period down,” she groaned.
“It was inevitable, Ti. Get up, baby.”
“Okay. I’m getting up.”
I stood and flipped the cover backward, exposing her naked body. She was pantiless, braless, and unclothed. Yet, there was a diaper made for a one hundred month old baby strapped to her ass.
“Weirdo.”
Chuckling, I replied, “I think it’s time to change it or something.”
“I’m not wearing this on the run.”
There she was. Her eyes opened and so did her mouth with a yawn.
“I wouldn’t suggest it.”
I scooped Tiana up from bed and headed toward the bathroom where I placed her on the counter. We were crunched for time. I lined the toothbrush with toothpaste and wet it underneath the faucet.
“Open.”
I stuck the brush in her mouth and cleaned her teeth for two full minutes before moving on to her face. With one of the disposable cloths she used, I wiped it down.
“I’ma let you handle your business. I’ll get your clothes together and have them ready for you when you get out. What panties you wearing with your shit leaking or whatnot?”
“Aug, please–”
“What?”
“Why do we keep talking about my period,” she grimaced.
“Because it’s here.”
“I know, but–”
She shook her head, smirking.
