"Leave that girl alone" my mama say

"Nah she always got an attitude" I say

"She is right here" Ari say

"Well she is pregnant. Give her a damn break" my mama say

I looked at her because who asked her? "I'm just trying to figure out what's the attitude for"

"You the one with the attitude talking about I'll get somebody else to do it whatever that mean" she's so damn sensitive

"Maybe I was talking about my mama or Kayleigh" I say

"Maybe" Ari shrug

"We not finna do this shit" I say "we been doing good"

"And we still are Katorah" Ari say

I decided not to respond "okay well I see you guys later"

"Bryce ya granny leaving" I yell

"He's not coming with me" my mama say

"Wassup with these grandma? Don't wanna watch grandkids but keep asking for more" I say

"Well you know Jon and I just moved and we still getting settled. Bryce would just get in the way" my mama say

Ari's phone started ringing and I picked my cup up as she walked off. "Why you tell them Auntie Asia I was coming to New York with y'all? When I say that"

"Before you got locked up" My mama say

"That was before and this is now" I say

"You just be lying that's all" my mama say

"Sometimes" I say watching my phone ring. Jada punk ass is starting to get on my nerves. I forward the call. That bitch probably ran out of money. She better get to tricking cause ion got it to give. "Bryce" finally he came "I called you a long time ago"

"I play with Cupcake" I rolled my eyes

"Why you make that dog that" I ask

"She sweet like a cupcake" he smile

"I promise we finna put you in football" I say

"I don't want to do that" Bryce say

"I didn't ask" I say

Bryce looked at my mom "leave that boy alone"

"You want to be a cheerleader" I ask

"Why you ask him that" My mama ask

"I just wanna know" I say

"Leave him alone" my mama say

"Bryce" I say

"No I want to play with cupcake" Bryce say fiddling with his shirt

"You making him nervous" I rolled my eyes. They just want to baby him all day long.

"You going to see Jada" I ask

"Today" Bryce ask

"Yeah" cause I gotta get up early for this trip and obviously I'm not taking him.

He started scratching his arm making me roll my eyes. He's about to lie "yeah"

"What" I say

"I want to go with Ari" Bryce say

"Even better" I say "well no she got shit to do"

Doctor appointment, work, and shit with Madison. Don't need Bryce getting in the way because then she'll swear I'm the reason she can't get shit done. Don't nobody got time for that.
