Two Worlds Apart

"I swear Chrys, I thought the set was haunted." He laughed making me laugh. "Them niggas ain't shit."

"But they got y'all good though."

"They asses did."

"But I'm glad you had fun while working. I love seeing you smiling than annoyed."

"And you know they stay annoying me."

"Mhmm."

As we continued, the sound of my mother speaking came ringing through my home. Getting up with both our son and my phone, I made my way out to see her and Shanice.

"You know I gave you that key for emergencies?" I stared at her.

"Okay and?" She responded before taking baby August. "Hi Aug." She then greeted him as did Shanice.

"What's up y'all." He replied. "Anyway ma. Call or message me before you go to sleep. Have fun tonight and be safe."

"I will babe. Love you."

"Love you too."

"So? What allyuh doing tonight?"

"I was thinking Whipped by One Woodbrook Place."

"Ouu. I'm fine with that. Let me just feed this little one." I said taking him from my mom and then I'll get ready."

"Okay cool. I'll go get ready now then."

"Mhmm."

Walking into the family room, I sat and got into nursing. Coming in as well, my mom sat and turned on the tv. To say I was grateful for her helping me would be an understatement.

"Mom?"

"Huh?" She looked over at me.

"Thanks again for tonight and this week. I really do appreciate it."

"Awe, baby, it was nothing. I'm just happy to be able to spend time with my grand baby."

"I know but I'm still beyond grateful."

"You're most welcome then." She smiled.

Looking down at my son, he had stopped nursing but wide awake. Adjusting his position, I lightly patted him on the back till he burped then handed him to my mother.

"I'm going to get ready."

"Okay." She fanned me off.

Looking at the both of them as they interacted just made my heart melt. To see my son creating a relationship with his grandmother, given the fact that she wasn't around from the beginning, was everything.

"Awe." I let out unintentionally.

"What's up?"
