Chapter 7

Tee Tee

"Thank you for dinner Mrs. Victoria," I told Theodore's Mom as I stood up from the dinning room table. I just got a text from my Mom saying she wanted me to come home soon to discuss some business, so I knew I had to leave before she got upset with me and punished me again. I turned to Theodore, who was still sitting at the table just starring at his food. I shook my head before looking back towards Mrs. Victoria. "Did you mind taking me home Mrs. Victoria?"

Mrs. Victoria smiled. "Wait, you're leaving so soon Tee Tee? You don't want dessert? I made pound cake today, don't you want some?"

"Sorry. I wish I could stay but my mom wanted me back home before seven and I still have homework of my own to do. And my Mom started working the night shift at work last week, so I need to get back home to watch my little sister," I lied. My Mama hasn't worked the night shift since my Dad died last year. She hasn't worked a legitimate job since my Dad was killed.

"Alright, T3 can just take you home. Did you want me to pack some cake up for you?"

Of course I wanted some cake. I was practically starving. I wanted to scream 'yes' but simple shook my head. "No thank you Mrs. Victoria."

She smacked her lips. "I'm going to get you some," she said, completely disregarding what I told her. Before I could even protest, she climbed out of her seat and raced around to the kitchen to pack me up a piece of cake that I knew I was going to have to share with my little sister tonight because I already know my Mom hasn't fed her since she got out of school this afternoon. It's always my responsibility to feed my little five year old sister, Avery. Mrs. Victoria walked back into the dinning room a few minutes later with a smile on her face and a plate of dinner in one hand and like half of the pound cake in the other both wrapped in foil.

I smiled as she handed them to me. "Thanks Mrs. Victoria. You really didn't have."

"Tee Tee stop acting like that. We had extra food left over and I think you need to thicken up baby. The more you eat, the more you can look like me," she smiled as she twirled around so I could see her body.

Theodore smacked his lips. "Mama, will you stop? I like Tee Tee the way she is."

Mrs. Victoria rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up T3. I'm just playing boy, damn. Just get your ass up and take your girlfriend home. And you've got exactly one hour to take her home and come back, so you better hurry up because you know you have to go to bed as soon as you get back home."

"Bed?"

"Hell yeah, bed. You're messing up in school so you have to go to bed early until you start getting A's. Your low grades must be from lack of sleep," Mrs. Victoria smirked. "Aren't I right Tee Tee?"

I slightly shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know for sure, but probably," I agreed with her.

Mrs. Victoria turned to Theodore, smiling, "See, even your little friend thinks I'm right too. Just go on and take her home." Theodore sucked his teeth as he stood up from the table. He was on his way out of the dinning room when his Mama grabbed him and pulled him back. "I raised you better than that boy. Take her backpack and stuff from her and let her walk out before you. You're so rude."

"Mama, can you chill? Tee Tee doesn't care, plus nobody carries their girlfriend's stuff no more."

"Yes they do," Mrs. Victoria replied before turning to me. "Tell him they do sweetie."

"They do," I replied.

Theodore grabbed my backpack and books out of my hands and managed to balance my plates of food on top of the books before he led the way out of his house. I pulled the passenger door open to his car while he handed me my stuff. I put my backpack under my feet and held my books and food in my hands as he came around to the other side of the car before pulling off.
