I can hear enais in the background pleading to diallo to give her the phone back.
I laugh . "okay okay , ya'll hurry up before my cousins eat all the treats."
"okay. i'm just down at that soul food joint , getting a lil' takeaway meal." he replies.
I hear in the background, the little bell that rings when you enter the restaurant.
everyone in town knew pookie's soul food was the best restaurant and takeaway .
that's when something clicked in my mind.
"diallo , do you think you could do something for me out of the kindness of your heart?"
I can already see him rolling his eyes.
"what now? you want me to paint you a picture?" he asks with a whole lotta sarcasm.
I smack my lips. "no, something easier than that."
"okay... hurry up and say because i'm about to order." he rushes.
"okay, could you get like a whole lot of food for me, and bring it to the house?" I ask. "we forgot to cook proper food and only have little treats and snacks which isn't very filling."
he sighs.
"i'll pay you as soon as you arrive." I add, biting my lip.
"i'm only doing this for your moms. " he surrenders.
"and me. " I innocently say, smiling.
"that's what you think. " he scoffs. "get off my line though girl."
"it ain't even your line. it's enais' damn phone." I cackle.
he laughs at himself . "okay , whatever. i'll see you in 10 minutes."
I hang up and for some reason I couldn't stop smiling. diallo always found a way to make me laugh without trying.
"what are you so giddy about?" lizzie questions, walking over to me with a half-eaten cupcake in her hand.
"enais' and diallo ; her older brother are coming and diallo's bringing
food for everyone. " I reply.
"that's nice of him. what kinda food? "
"the soul food spot." I smirk.
lizzie's eyes widen. "pookie's?"
"uh huh. my mouth waters just thinking about it." I dreamily sigh.
"my mouth would water too but i'm wearing this kylie jenner lip-kit and can't afford to be letting any water come near these luscious lips." she says.
I roll my eyes as she struts away to dance with montana and ebony.
uncle sammy was now engaged in a conversation with vanessa by the speakers whilst mom, dawn and whitney were still gossiping and sipping on champagne.
everyone stacked their presents for mom by the patio door so I went over to the colourfully wrapped gifts and read all the names on the tags.
