"Yes, Aunty. I'm putting the Mac and Cheese in the oven now", I say to my aunt, sliding the large pan of macaroni in the oven, then shutting it.
"Good. The ham been in the oven since about 7:30 this morning", she says, and I peek in on the cheesecake in the fridge.
"My thing is, we really couldn't start this at a later time? I'm tired", I whine, even though I know every black mom get up early to start cooking.
"Lil girl, don't question these traditions. Now, where your husband at?", she asks, and I roll my eyes.
"He upstairs sleep. I should wake his as- butt up and tell him to help me", I mumble, glaring at the stairs.
"I'm glad y'all stubborn asses made up. Like Jesus", she laughed, and I rolled my eyes.
"Mhm. I am too, though. It's a good thing for us. But, I'm gonna go take a shower before I finish cooking", I say, and she blows me a kiss before hanging up.
I put my phone on the charger in the living room. I fill up the bowls for water and food, crumbling up a few treats as well.
"Hm, I want a cat", I say to myself, walking up the stairs.
I walk in my bedroom and see Tremaine sprawled out, his slightly ashy legs poking out from under my covers. I walk over to him quietly and lift the covers, looking at his ashy ass elbows.
"This nigga Caucasian", I laugh, covering him back up.
I go into the bathroom after grabbing my towel and my speakers. I turn the shower on, humming Bellyache by Billie Eilish as I combed my hair out.
"My V is for vendetta, thought that I'd feel better. But now I got a bellyache", I sing under my breath, making my way up from the ends to the roots.
"Hey, Alexa. Play my Billie Eilish playlist on YouTube Music", I call out, and I waited for the music to start.
8 by Billie Eilish came on first, and I did a little happy dance. I lived for this song, and anybody who knew me knows I do.
"Wait a minute, let me finish I know you don't care, But can you listen? I came committed, Guess I over did it. Wore my heart out on a chain, Around my neck, but now it's missing", I sang, a little loudly, but oh well.
Once my hair was combed out, I slipped Tremaine's shirt off, along with my panties, and got in. The water burned me a little bit when it first hit me, but after adjusting it, I got it to the temperature I wanted.
