"Don't yell at her because you don't know how to keep up with yo shit". I watched as Ms. Sheila yelled at him and put emphasis on the words you and yo.

"I did keep up with my stuff Mr.Ruff Ruff over here broke em" he said referring to the boy behind her. He did kind of look like a pitbull but he was cute.

" Donald I'll give you the money later y'all help me with these bags" she told them.

The brown skin one began grab them. But the other one rejected once Ms.Sheila entered the house.

" Man she got hands let her get her own shit" the tall one said.

I notice how he was an asshole for no reason.

After he went inside the brown skin boy introduce himself.

"Wassup I'm Dalvin and that was my bitch ass brother Donald but he like the name DeVante so just call him DeVante if you want to be on his good side" he said.

" I think I'm already on his bad side so I might just call him Donald just to piss him off juuuuust a little" I said indicating little with my index finger and thumb.

He laughed.

"Here let me,let you in on a little secret" he said.

I leaned in closer and he whispered.

" I do too"

I laughed he was funny.

"What's his problem anyway" I said wanting to know why he didn't like me.

"Ma made him move all his records, instruments and all his other DJ stuff to the basement because you were moving in" Dalvin stated.

"Ohhhhhh,damn well hey I can sleep in the basement I don't have a problem with it" I said.

"Nooo you don't. You can hear everything in there and I mean everything" he said jerking his hand back in forth.

"O-Oh okay" I said understanding what he was saying.

"What yo name by the way?" He asked.

"Karena" I simply said.

"Well okay Karena well welcome to North Carolina where you from?" He asked.

"New York Queens" I said.

"Awwww okay  SON" he said loudly making me laugh.

After talking a little bit more we finally went into the house and it's bigger on the inside it looks good to Ms.Sheila's quite a decorator.

"Here baby let me get these and  show you were your rooms at" she stated.

We walked further into the house turning to the hallway.

"Your room is right here" she said.

I was faced with a room that read Karena in pink letters.

"I already decorated it" she said smiling.

Went walked in and it was pretty nice it had a nice Queen sized bed that had fluffy pillows and a purple comforter.

When you first walk in the room your feet is met with a thick pink rug. It was a black treasure hut at the end the foot of the bed. That I expected was for private things or special stuff.

The room was gorgeous. I've never had anything like this before. The walls were a cream color with pink and purple polka dots on the wall. There was also a  big TV on the wall and two dressers where a jewelry box sat and on the other was a boom box and a stereo.

I just stared at the room in awe I wanted to cry.

"Honey are you okay?" She asked I turned around.

"Yes I just just don't know what to say Thank you" I said hugging her tightly.

She laughed. "Aww girl it ain't no thing plus I've always wanted a daughter but as you can see that didn't work as planned I got 3 knuckles heads one of em at college tho" she said.

I didn't even know she had 3 sons.

"Oh and sorry for the way Donald acted he just don't know how to act infront of pretty girls" she said pressing her lips together playfully.

"Its Okay" I laughed.

"Well get set up so we can do Medi pedi's" she said walking towards the door.

She squealed. "This is gonna be so fun!" She exclaimed.

I smiled and she walked out.

I looked across the hall and saw Donald resting his arm against his door frame. God he is so handsome. He gave me a mean mug and I returned it back rolling my eyes. He grinned and closed his door.


Jesus what have I gotten myself into.....
