DRE

*BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ*

"Who the fuck is calling me this early?" I said to myself rolling over and answering the phone. "Hello?" I answered groggily

"Andre!" she yelled into the phone

"Ma it's 8 in the morning why you up yelling?"

"Oh boy be quiet. What you doing later?"

"Umm nothing really why?"

"Where's my favorite daughter in law at?"

"I had nothing planned really I was thinking about taking Toni to see the fireworks later."

"Oh my favorite daughter in law is there! Put here on the phone" she commanded

"She's your only daughter in law ma and she sleep right now" I said while looking down at Toni curled up underneath me

"Well when she wakes up bring my daughter by the house. I'm having a barbecue and I want to see my her and plus I want her to meet everybody make her feel apart of the family ya know."

"Aight I'll let her know" I said

"See y'all later" she hung up

After I hung up I felt Toni waking up but her eyes were still closed, "baby?" I asked

"Hmm?" She answered from under the covers

"What you wanna do later? You and your family got anything planned?"

"Nah since the divorce everyone has been kinda nonchalant about the holidays. So nothing really unless you had plans."

Since Toni's parents filed for divorce she's been kinda depressed. I can only imagine how my baby feels right now. She kinda put our divorce on hold for a while. She said it was too much for her. Now I'm not complaining but I still feel bad.

"Well if you feel like going my mom invited us to a cookout at her house." I said

"I would love to!" She said as she popped her head from under the covers "I haven't seen my other mother in a long time" she admitted

It's crazy how close my mom and Toni have gotten. Sometimes she be calling just to speak to her you'd think they were bestfriends in their past life or something.

I'm upstairs switching my purse over when Dre yells. "Baby hurry up! You gon make me miss all the food!"

"Let me hurry up before I have to smack this boy for rushing me." I say to myself, "I'm coming!" I yell back as I walk out the room and head downstairs. "Well don't you look cute" I said referring to Dre's outfit
