Chapter 25

Ant family was crazy as hell . His cousin tried selling me iPhone 12 once.

They wasn't even out yet.

" But aye though who's her friend ?" he said looking inside.

" who ?"

He smacked his teeth at me.

" Nigga your baby mama friend"

" you talking about Ices ?"

" That's ha name"

He repeated for himself.

" you feeling her ?"

" hell yea put me on"

" Mann nah we ain't cool like that"

" Damn you always on some lame shit"

" She's crazy"

" That's how I like em"

" you gone get enough of that" I said chuckling.

" nah man never that"

I just knew those two would be a match made in hell.

9:00 pm

Sierra

Things were starting to wine down. People packing plates and leaving.

I figure I should start cleaning up. Even though it wasn't my house I feel like it was the respectable thing to do.

Meanwhile I was in the kitchen when my mom came in.

" Did you fix you something baby"

" Uh yes" I said remembering I fixed two plates that were in the refrigerator.

It was quiet for a moment making me wonder was something wrong.

My mom was watching me the whole time.

" What is it ?"

" you honey . . . Janice told me"

I knew where this was going.

" All I'm going to say is make him work for it don't give in so easily" she said before walking away.

She was right.

I watched as she walked out the kitchen.

Later . . .

I check my time seeing it was 10:00 on the dot.

" Hey"

I looked up seeing Julian with his hands in his pockets.

" hey"

" I was um thinking you and the kids could stay over tonight"

He said biting the side of his lips.

" They could stay over and I come get them from you "

I could easily see the disappointment on his face.

" Yea that's um fine" He said nodding his head and walked away.

I grabbed my bag full of to-go food heading to my car.

Walking there I seen Ices and Julian friend talking.

Ok what is this about.

I pulled out my key unlocking the door making them look up at me.

I paid them no mind putting food in the car.

" We need to hang out"

" is that so ?"
