“I was thinking, maybe I could transfer to MPU. They have a decent pre-med program,” Rayven shared.
“Why would you leave the best for decent?”
Madison Pointe University wasn’t a bad look, but its focus was the arts. Naylor Southern had the best pre-med and pre-law programs in the country. It wasn’t a smart move, and Rayven knew it, too, shrugging her shoulders.
“Vie’s here and the baby will be too.”
“I got them. If you wanna help, switch specialties. A pediatrician would be nice.”
Rayven frowned, “I don’t want to help that badly.”
“Blue wasn’t going for it anyway.”
Navie joined us in the kitchen. “Going for what?”
“Nothing,” Rayven said, stuffing her mouth with cereal.
“What were you talking about?”
“Brother and sister shit. You’re grumpy as fuck this morning. Wassup?”
“I’m pregnant. Welcome to the ghetto.”
Blue wanted this too, but some days the thought still scared her.
“Maybe this will help,” I announced, handing her the black box I pulled from the top cabinet.
“What’s this?” she asked, lifting the key fob in her hand, waiting for an explanation.
“Your new ride. You’re driving today.”
“A new car!” Rayven jumped from her seat, rushing around the island. “I wanna see it!”
“It’s downstairs. Let’s go.”
Rayven seemed more excited than Blue, rushing into the bedroom to grab her slides. The three of us hopped on the elevator, taking us to the lobby, where Rylo waited, eager to see Blue’s reaction.
“You like it?” I asked as I watched her walk around the Mercedes AMG, appraising it.
“This is fly,” a smile found its way through her uncertainty, “Thanks,Stink.”
My lips brushed her brow, “You can do hard things, Blue. I just want you to feel good after doing them. So stop worrying. I got you, and I pay well when you act right.”
“Aww!” Rylo and Rayven simpered.
“Are you trying to bribe my feelings?”
“Gotta do something with your wishy-washy ass.”
She wrapped her arms around my neck, enjoying my hands on her ass. “Seriously, Tre. Thank you for seeing me and being patient.”
“You sure you’re good?”
“I’m just tired,” she lied, still learning how to deal with all the feelings I brought to the surface.
“Me too, but we gotta go,” she succumbed to the domination of my lips before I turned to Rylo. “Make sure she stays put until Blue gets back.”
He cleared his throat, holding his hand out, “Ain’t nothing free.”
