"Your son makes me sick" I told shy. He sat down on the chair holding Brielle in front of him just staring at her
"You paid attention to her eyes?" Shy asked and I shook my head
"No why? What's wrong?"
"Her eyes grey"
"Forreal?" I asked while buying my burger and got up, sitting on the chair beside him looking at her eyes and she just stared back, probably tryina figure out why we all in her face
"My grandma had eyes just like that. I'm jealous" I frowned while jr walked over to where we were with a fry in his hand
"Here Brielle" he reached the fry to her but quickly pulled it back "sike. You not touching my fries"
"He ima beatcho ass bout my baby" shy told jr who just grinned while walking out of the living room to go back down the hall to his room
"My poor daughter gone get bullied by her big brother for the rest of her life"
"He might bully her but watch how he gone protect her"
"He better. Ain't that right princess?" I asked Brielle, smiling at my baby girl
"Yo momma obviously ain found out about her yet" shy randomly said out loud
"Why you say that?"
"You saw how she was acting bout jr"
"I honestly don't know nor do I care.she just better not try to come near me or my family. I'm good off her, we straight"
"Forever that. I got y'all" he assured me while keeping his eyes on Brielle
I looked down at my food for a second before looking up, speaking
"So.. I talked to Kay.."
"Oh hell" he muttered making me laugh
"Why you gotta say that?"
"Cause you and Kay always talkin bout some shit. And ain no tellin what she put in yo head cause her and benji still beefin from yesterday"
"Don't do us. Anyways, I'm talkin bout before yesterday. A couple of weeks ago actually"
"What y'all was talkin bout?"
"We was just having a lil conversation about getting married"
He rose he eyebrow while fixing Brielle's onesie "I meannnn... I guess it's just fuck me and benji huh?"
I instantly sucked my teeth and shy laughed
"No dumbass"
"Well tell me.. what about marriage?" He eventually looked over at me
"That maybe... you know.. we can get married"
"So it took you and Kay to talk when I been tryina getchu to do this for how long"
"No" I held my finger up "I been spoke to Kay about it but just recently me and her spoke about me actually wanting to do it"
"What made you change to mind.. after you told me no bout 5 or 6 times"
"Maybe the reasons why I told you no are not a problem anymore for me to tell you no"
Shy nodded, rubbing his tongue across his teeth cause he knew I was right
"So, you finally wanna tell me yes if I ask one more time?"
"7th time maybe the charm. But just know I don't wanna wear no ring"
Shy chuckled a little, knowing how complicated I was
"Sure Brianna"
"We can get tattoos or something. I can fuck with that"
"Shit.. it's whatever you want"
"Well that's what I want. And we don't have to do none of that extra stuff we can just celebrate with our little friend group.. and most definitely Kay's momma... oh and-"
"You know what. How about you write all yo lil demands down then come finish talking to me" he cut me off before looking at Brielle again "see how complicated yo momma is. That's why ima keep you from around her"
"So she can end up like you and jr... who is already on his third strike of first grade before he got on Christmas break"
"Shit, he better than me.. I was on my second or third school by Christmas break when I was his age"
I rolled my eyes "hand me my daughter. Y'all not corrupting her"
"Like you and Kay no better... I would put Ari in it too but I think Ari ain as bad as y'all yet. I give her a couple more months" shy said as he stood up, walking off with Brielle
