Finding Yourself

V

Keeylah Mason.

I walked down into my driveway and knocked on the door. When nobody opened the door, I took out my key and slide my key into the lock. I turned the door knob and pushed the door open.

I walked into the smell of collard greens, mashed potatoes and cornbread. I sniffed and sighed in satifisfaction.

"Ma. Im home!" I yelled. Keeis, my three year old brother crawled quickly to my presence and put his hands up. I smiled then picked up up and set him on my hip. I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Ma-"

I stopped in the middle of my sentence and scrowled. My father sat on the sun table with a big ol' smile on his face.

"Hey baby." My mom said with her back turned, on the stove. "Hey." I kept my eyes on Chuckee,

My mom turned around. "Your fathers here."

"I see." I said curtly. I jiggled Keeis on my hip and waited for any more questions. "Hi Key."

I nodded my head towards him. He sighed and looked down. My mom clapped her hands. "Well then. Lets get to eating. Key, put Keeis on his high chair and help me make his cereal."

"Alright." I walked over to the sun table and sat Keeis in his high chair. I buckled him in and went to the pantry.

I felt my father's eyes on my back and I shook the feeling. I took out the Gerber's cereal and poured some into the small bowl, I took the hot pot and poured hot water into it. I stirred it then walked back over and sat it down in front of Keeis. He shook his head in satisfication and started eating with his hands.

I sat in my seat next to my mother and started dishing out the foods I wanted onto my plate, while My mom and Chuckee did the same.

It was quiet for a while, well small talk here and there but mostly silence.

"So.. hows that dancing, Key?" Chuckee tried again to make conversation with me.

"Havent been dancing since I was 6." I replied.

He sighed again and dropped his fork. "MiMi, why dont you tell Key what we've been thinking?"

My mom glared at Chuckee and rolled her eyes. "Why dont you wait for her to finish her food?"

"Nah. I think We should tell her. Now." He snapped. My mom took a deep breath and looked at me.

"Sweetie, me and your father-"

"Chuckee." I interrupted.

She tried again. "Me and.. Chuckee have be thinking of reconciling. You know.. for the sake of you and Keeis."

I stood there in shock and dropped my fork. "What..do you mean?" I shuddered at the thought of Chuckee being in my life. I hate him so much.

"I mean... its time to set aside our differences and become a family again."

"Yall acting like this a business arrangement or some. You aint have to date him again. if You dont love him, Ma." I said, ignoring the fact that Chuckee was in the same room as us.

My mom bent her head. "What if I do?" She mumbled.

The funny thing is that I had heard it and immediatly stood "excuse me, please." I got out of my seat and walked up to my room, slamming my door shut.

I got out my phone and decided to text Devin. Ion know what possessed me to. I just felt the need to talk to a male figure at the moment. Dez wouldnt understand because she has a mother and a father figure in her life.

I clicked out of my iMessages and went on instagram. I laid down on my bed and scrolled through my feed . I liked some pictures and decided to post a selfie. I had already got 56 likes from my 2108 followers. I went out of instagram and went to pandora. Pandora decided to play with my feelings and play "Touchin, Lovin- Trey Songz ft Nicki Minaj" I smiled and left the song on, connected it to my speakers and proceeded to take a shower and go to sleep.

I got into the shower and hummed to the beat of Touchin, Lovin.

Like no no no,

brought yo girl to club and now she gone gone gone.

Now she asking me when Im taking ha' home home home.

I tell her lets go, (lets go), 'Long as you know, cause I know when we get alone.

I turned off the showerhead 15 minutes later and dried my body off. I slide into a white oversized tee, some black yoga shorts and put my hair in a bun. I took the remaining of my make up and slide into my bed. I decided to lurk on instagram, where I saw Carter commented on my picture.
