"She's a baby, how does she have an attitude" my mama ask

People always call us crazy when we say this but it's the truth. My baby has a funky attitude already "she throws her body and just fuss until she goes to sleep"

"Sounds like a damn character" my mama say

"I'm trying to see what Hazel did to her" I say

"I didn't do anything. I cut the car on and the sun was in her face and before I could let the visor down she started" Hazel say

I guess Hazel didn't do wrong "she'll be okay" and that's the truth "spoiled brat"

"What do you want with the meat" Hazel ask

"Mac & Cheese" I say "and I don't like the baked one that people do in the oven. It makes me sick"

"So you want out the box" Hazel ask

"Sure do" I don't care what nobody says. Baked Mac & Cheese is not it.

"I like ground beef in my Mac & Cheese" Hazel say

"What? No. That's too much meat" I don't know what the hell she thought this was

"Y'all have horrible taste" my mom walk out

"I tried it in college" Hazel shrug "it was hard out here"

"Yeah yeah. I'll be home in about two hours or a bit longer . I need to take my mother to the store and flatiron her hair" I say

"That's enough time for me to get my stuff together" Hazel say

"And make sure you put K in her crib with her lights" I say

"I know how to put my baby to sleep" Hazel say

"Bye darling" I hung up "Mama come on. Let's go ahead and go to the store"

"I need to get my pocketbook" She say

"I'm gone buy your groceries" I say

"Okay but I need to get my license because you always get pulled over" a bitch get pulled over one time and her and my mama got all the damn jokes.

"Yeah yeah. I'm waiting in the car" I say walking out

I turned the car on and let the windows down. It felt good outside. I put my shades on because it was a little too damn sunny.

My mother finally joined me in the car and got to fussing. "How many cars do you need"

"This is Hazels car" today I was in her G-Wagon because my two cars don't have gas and I was too cute today to be pumping some gas

"Oh" see she be talking too damn much and don't even be knowing

I pulled off and when we got to Walmart I looked at my mama "give me that handicap sticker boo"

She reached in her purse and gave to me and I put it in the window and got me a handicap park before we got out.

She got a basket and as soon as we started going down the aisle she was getting stuff that just looked nasty. "Mommy, why would you want fat free brownie mix"

"I'm getting older. It's hard to knock that weight off" My mama say

"It doesn't taste the same" I say "that junk is nasty"

"I'm eating it girl not you! Let me get what I want. That's why I don't like going to the store with you because all you do is judge and complain" I rolled my eyes because now I'm feeling like a child that was drug to the store

"Okay my bad. I'm going to go get some tampons so I'll be back" I say "don't be talking to people"

"Lani this is a public place" my mama say

"I don't care. People weird" I walk away

I went into the hygiene section and realized I'm looking snatched and I'm in Walmart.

I grabbed two boxes of tampons because Hazel always use all them and never replace them. We have a box of pads for emergency and I'm the only person that goes through emergencies.

I grabbed some body wash and was looking for my mother and guess what she was doing? Talking to someone.

I put my things in the basket "mommy" I didn't want to be rude but I didn't want to be here all day

She ignored me and kept talking to the lady. I walked off and decided to go get all her vegetables. When I got back she was still running her mouth! I walked back off and got her bread and a few snacks because they are by each other.

I just decided to get the whole cart and do the rest of the shopping. We got in line she started looking all in the basket "Lani I don't eat this"

"Mommy yes you do" I say

"I don't eat no Zebra cakes" Mommy say

"That's for me when I come over" I say

"Okay" Mommy say

I got home and Hazel did an amazing job. We don't gave a table but the bar was set up nice. "Right on time"

"It smells good" I comment

"You wore that for me" I was ready to bring up the bitch from the salon but I was taking my time. So I can be fully aware of her different body language.

"I just felt like being sexy" I say

We took a seat and started eating our salad "how was your day"

"It was good until some stupid bitch came into the salon talking about she fucked Hazel and all this shit" I say "and I didn't even get the bitch name"

"That's why I'm in the hot seat" Hazel raise her eyebrow

"Yes because which one of your hoes think it's okay to come to my shop like that? That's unprofessional as fuck" I say

"I don't have hoes therefore I don't know who it was" Hazel say

"That's why I'm not too mad because she was saying some ignorant shit" I say "but this is the second time"

"I took full blame the first time but this isn't me" Hazel say "at all"

I believed her. I know she didn't tell the bitch to come to my shop and she probably never even touched the little hood rat but still. I feel some type of way.

"I don't like that Hazel. Real talk. It makes me look ratchet and that kind of shit mess with my business" I say

"I can't stop people from spreading lies like that" Hazel say

"I know" I say looking down "that doesn't stop it from hurting any less"

"Let me make it up to you" Hazel say grabbing my elbow

"Nah let me eat first" I say

"Greedy ass always worried about some food" Hazel laugh

"You never cook for me so I have to enjoy this moment" I say

"True. Well let's have a date" Hazel say

"I love it" I say

Me and my baby just enjoyed our night together.
