Kinsley
Same Day
8:55 pm
"Sooooooo" I drug out, interrupting the awkward silence that was now taking place
After my momma got Aj to explain his family to her, it was confirmed that Aj was actually my momma's brother. She ended up excusing herself and went upstairs, probably to cry and my dad followed behind her
"Mannn I swear this some soap opera shit right here" Jeremiah slapped his hands together while McKenna came in the kitchen looking confused
"What wrong with momma. She in her room crying?"
"Grown folks business lil girl" Jeremiah told her and she rolled her eyes, leaving the kitchen
"Soooooo" I repeated
"You technically our uncle... but you younger than us" Kyran told Aj and he nervously chuckled a little, scratching the back of his head
"I guess so. I mean it make sense cause my daddy is old as hell. But I figured he just waited later on in life to have a kid"
"So you didn't know you had any sisters?" I asked him and he shook his head
"Nah. He never mentioned anything about no other kids"
"That's fucked up" Kyran muttered, running his tongue across his teeth
"Yeah cause I always wanted a sister or something. So I guess I got one"
"One" Jeremiah let out a small laugh "nigga you got like three"
You could tell Aj was just as shocked based off of the look on his face
"And my pops ain ever mention-... this is fucked up"
"Sooo you telling me that my momma was born with MONEY money?" I asked and they all looked at me
"Really kinsley?" Kyran asked so I shrugged
"What? We could've been superstars"
"Well I ain mean to start no problems" AJ apologized
"Nah you straight. You can't help who yo people is"
"Well I guess we family now"
"I guess so" i sighed
"So.. I've always wondered.. what's your dad like?" I asked while sitting up in my seat.
I was genuinely interested In knowing about my grandfather but my momma never liked to talk about him
Aj made a face that wasn't good
"As much as I know.. shallow, narcissistic, not a people person, workaholic... but the man knows how to make money"
"That was not what I was looking for" I disappointingly said
"I mean. You wanted the truth right? That's all I know about him whenever he is around"
"Y'all don't live together?"
"Yeah. My parents still together but they never around. He always was working or they always on a trip. But shit, they always make up with money or gifts I guess. You see that car I got a couple of months ago. That was a birthday gift cause they went to the Virgin Islands for my birthday and left me home"
"A car? Cause they missed one birthday"
Aj chuckled "one? Try every birthday. The only birthday I have knowledge of them being at is my first birthday and I only know that from pictures. When it comes to my birthday and holidays like thanksgiving and Christmas... they always conveniently plan trips around those times"
"So you spend the holidays and birthdays alone"
"Now that I'm older, yeah. But when I was younger I had this nanny and i would spend it with her family. She was dope as hell until my daddy fired her for sticking up for me"
"Well sheesh. Never mind wanting to meet him. He sounds toxic"
"Trust me. You better off not meeting him"
"Well enough of that sad shit. Y'all ready for me to whoop y'all ass on this game" Kyran asked
"I got 20 that say you ain beating me" Jeremiah challenged while pulling a twenty out
"I got 50 that say otherwise" Aj pulled out a fifty and I tilted my head back a little
"Well I wanna play. Y'all pulling out money"
Kyran's phone vibrated and he quickly picked it up off of the counter
"Damn Nigga. Ain nobody bout to take your shit" I told him while Jeremiah grinned, looking at Kyran. I guess Kyran felt Jeremiah looking at him so he pointed at him while letting out a laugh
"Shut yo ass up"
"I feel so left out. Who you texting cause obviously Jeremiah know"
"Stay in a child's place" he told me while shoving his phone back in the pocket of his sweats and headed out of the kitchen with Jeremiah and Aj following him upstairs to his room
I scratched through my hair while McKenna walked into the kitchen again eyeing me
"What girl?" I rudely asked her and she shook her head
"Don't be putting dandruff on the counters now" she told me and I stuck my finger up at her
"You always starting with me. But you lucky I'm tryina be mature"
"Sureeee" she sarcastically said while going into the fridge and grabbed a Sprite
"I thought you wasn't supposed to be drinking soda" I asked her. She looked at me while opening it, took a sip and started talking
"And I thought you wasn't supposed to talking to that boy named Dominique but from what I heard, you did" she boldly said and I looked at her some type of way "you and Brielle talk loud. But don't worry. I'll forget it ever happened as long as you do one favor for me"
"What?"
"Talk momma and daddy into letting me quit dance"
"I thought you liked dancing"
"I used to but not anymore. I really wanna play softball"
"Well why won't you just tell them"
"Do you know how much money they spend on dance classes? Just talk to them. Pleaseeee kinsley"
I sighed "fine. But you better NOT tell nobody about what you heard"
"Get me out of dance and you got a deal"
I crossed my arms looking at her
"You know what. You a evil little girl... but I respect it"
"I know you do" McKenna's smart ass replied before leaving the kitchen, going upstairs and I rolled my eyes
