ADDICTION

30. "I Need A Shower"

I really didn't want to help her because in my guts I just knew at the end of this day I'm going to be in trouble for something. Did I listen to my gut ... nope

" Aight come on. How'd your mama have it?"

"Two braids in the back going up and put it in two buns" she smiled at me encouraging handing me the brush and hair ties knowing damn well I couldn't do that shit

I swooped her up leaving out the studio going towards the family room seeing Mir going over his words, kairi practicing her tracing , and Ayanna sitting in front of Steph as she did her hair the same way that Amaya was describing to me.

She hand a death grip on my shirt as she buried her face into my shoulder as I rubbed her back for her to calm down she gone make my shirt loose

"Stephanie "

She screwed her face up before looking up at me cause I called her by her name then zoned in on Amaya and her hair all over the place already having that mom look on

" come here Maya"

I tried putting her down but she held on tighter

" ouu she knows she in trouble" Kairi was saying as she glanced up from her paper

I stared at Amir who stayed quiet which wasn't the norm for him he is usually a loud piece of work you try to calm down and he hyping you up more; however he was minding his business as he went back to practicing his words

"Yo momma talking to you Amaya. Answer her."
She let go of me as I placed her down and she stood in front of her mama. Hair going every which way I wanted to laugh but it wasn't the time

"What happened to the hair that I just did?" Stephanie's arm was crossed staring at her as my lil princess nervously twisted her ankle staring right back at her answering " I didn't like it."

Her face softened but was still staring down hard on her "if you didn't like it Amaya tell mommy so I can change it. You picked that style baby we could've did something else. Why didn't you like it ?"

Amaya stared at the style Ayanna was getting which was the exact same and then she looked away. Me and Steph both peeped it as we smiled shaking our heads.

Looks like Amaya is ready to branch out a bit past looking like a triplet all the time. "Alright so why not a different style today?" She nodded excitedly running and hugging Stephanie

" Maya you don't wanna match me no more ?" Ayanna asked her as she got up from her seat

"I just wanted to look diferient I still want to match Sometimes but just want to look what's the word... individually I just want to look individually and not the same everytime"

Ayanna shrugged and started to leave out the room after kissing Steph cheeks to say thankyou" where you going Yanna?"

She turned around "I'm little upset so I going to my room"

I nodded staying silent as I watched Amaya stare at her sister leaving out knowing she was about to cry " I didn't mean to hurt her feelings mama for real"

Steph patted her back and sat her down starting her hair " I know you didn't and it's okay. If you feel like you don't wanna always match it's okay to pick out different clothes and hairstyles Amaya. You don't always have to be identical like your siblings."
