Start from the beginning
                                    

"Hey y'all". I waved.

"Hey Drea". Jayla hugged my side.

"Where was you last night?". Maya put her hand on her hip.

"You ain't my momma grownie". I pinched her cheek.

"She was boo'd up wit A-K". Rashad smirked.

"Shut up". I gave him a stank look.

"What does boo'd up mean?". DJ asked.

"Don't worry bout it". I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It mean she was laid up wit her manz". Maya stuck her tongue out.

"Ok. No more Instagram or Urban dictionary for you". I pointed at her.

"Broooo chill". Maya pouted.

These kids is too grown.

I walked in the kitchen and Cassie was taking her prenatal vitamins.

"Hey baby momma". I hugged her.

"Hey. I just want chu to know yo siblings is too grown. Jayla tryna wear crop tops and shit and Maya right behind her tryna wear a tight as dress. I can't with them". She shook her head.

"I don't remember being like them when we was they age". I frowned.

"Trust me bitch, we was worse". She chuckled.

The kids finished eating and washed they spoons and bowls. We got outside and I locked the house up.

They all got in the car and we headed to the movies.

"Ok everybody gets one small popcorn and they choice of candy and a soda. If you don't want popcorn you can get something of equal or lesser value. Do I make myself clear?". I told them.

"Why you gotta talk to us like we babies tho?". DJ frowned.

"Cause sometimes y'all don't listen. So I gotta draw shit out for y'all to understand". I explained.

We walked in and went to the concession stand.

"What you want?". I looked to DJ.

"I want popcorn, sour skittles, and a sprite". He ordered.

"Back of the line". I told him.

"What chu want?".  I asked Maya.

"Nachos, starburst, and a hi-c orange". She rolled her eyes.

"Go to the back". I sent her away.

"What chu want?". I asked Jayla.

"Can I get pretzel bites, regular Skittles, and a frutopia?". She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Go to the back". I rolled my eyes at this lil girl.

Next Rashad ordered chicken and fries with a sprite. He had his own money of course.

Cassie ordered next.

"Lemme get barbecue chicken, fries, nachos, Skittles, and two sprites". She ordered.

"Why she get allat?". Jayla frowned.

"Cause she my baby momma and what she wants she gets now stay in a child's place". I pinched her cheek.

"Ow! Dang always pinching somebody". She rubbed her cheek against her shoulder.

I got a ten piece barbecue wings and fries with a strawberry fanta and Jerome just got popcorn and a soda.

"Ok your total is, $100.32". The girl said.

Jerome handed her a hundred and one dollars.

He got his receipt and his change.

"Somebody big bank". I chuckled.

"I gotta take care of my family don't I?". He smiled.

"Awww you considering us family?". Jayla cooed.

"Yeah. Which chall bad asses". He chuckled.

"Ay man! We ain't bad, we just misunderstood". DJ nodded like he was saying some shit.

"Well help me understand bro". Jerome knealed to DJ's level.

"Dang I think you was gon actually go for that". DJ said making us all laugh.

"Man bye. I thought chu was gon spit some real shit". Jerome chuckled.

We made it into the theatre and the previews was playing. I got everybody in they seat and I sat in between Cassie and Jerome.

"That movie was bout lit as fuck". Cassie cheered.

"It was scary. But I'mma thug and we'on show emotion". Jayla made a straight face.

"How you a thug but chu still sleep wit a night light?". Rashad smirked.

"I know you ain't talking wit cho Spider Man draws". Maya chimed in.

"Well damn we just exposing each other I guess". Jerome shrugged.

I was too busy laughing to say anything.

"Where y'all wanna eat at?". I asked them.

"Chilli's!". They all cheered.

"Glad we agree on something cause if Jayla try me one more time we gon fight". Rashad said.

"You gon fight a twelve year old?". Jerome gave Rashad a side look.

"See, when you put it like that, it sound bad but listen tho, she vicious bro, if you'on get a handle on her now she gonna end up like Drea". He smirked making me punch him in the shoulder.

"What's wrong with being like me?". I frowned.

"You really want me to go into detail?". Rashad cocked his eyebrows up.

"Shut up". I pouted.

We pulled up to Chili's and got out.

"Now, rules for this damn restaurant. Don't order it if you never ate it. Do I make myself clear?". I spat.

"Yes". They all answered in monotone.

"Good". I said getting out the car.

Me and Jerome stayed behind while Cassie walked ahead with the kids.

"Damn man. And I was just bout to order a plate of you". Jerome smirked.

I ain't know what he was talking about until it registered what I said to the kids.

"You is too nasty". I blushed.

Lord give me the strength to deal with this man.
