New Beginnings

Chapter 24

August

Walking back into ma house, tha place was quiet and tha lights were out except for tha one in tha kitchen.

I didn't plan on staying out so long, but shit got a lah lit once other niggas showed up.

Making my way upstairs, I heard talking coming from my room. I didn't think Alei or anyone would be up still.

"Wazzamin momma. Hey baybeh." I approached her.

Kissing her on her forehead, I smiled at our son who was wide awake.

"Watchu doing up lah man?" I lifted him and kissed his forehead, gaining a lah smile from him.

Looking at Alei, she watched me then my mother before they both looked at me.

"What?"

"You've been drinking haven't you?"

"Just a lah bit." I shrugged as I got into bed next to her.

"That doesn't seem like a little bit and you've been gone for so long."

"I was at tha studio with Knuck then some of the guys passed through and we just chilled. Nothing major."

"Ok."

I figured she wouldn't have said anything more because she had to be relaxed and stressfree.

"Let me get a pic of the three of y'all?"

Looking at my mother, she was smiling with her phone in her hand.

"Ya ready for the world ta meet him?"

Kissing on her neck, she laughed out a bit, startling him.

"Aug stop." She play hit me.

"Aight I'm done." I laughed. "Ya momma so damn ticklish man."

Laying there, he just stared up at me.

"Y'all ready?"

"Yea momma." I continued to mess with her.

"August, stop!" She whined and laughed.

"Aye, stop that!" My momma spoke.

Just as she was about to take the picture, Gabriel stuck his thumb in his mouth.

"He got that shit from you!" I shook my head.

"So what? It keeps me from having to beat you."

"Never. Yeen bout that life and I ain't that nigga."

"If you think so." She smirked.

Unaware to us because of our conversation, my momma was still taking pictures.

"Ok all done!"

Slightly confused, we looked over at her.

"Y'all are like two damn parakeets. So easily distracted."

"You got jokes huh?" I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Let me see them. Matter fact, just send them ta me."

Once we got them, we sat there just scrolling through.

"Damn we look good." I smirked. "Tha fuck you find this fine ass nigga girl." I looked at her.

"You're such a fool." She laughed.

"Once ya smiling, I'm doing ma job." I bit her cheek.

"Ya wanna do the honors?"

"Ummm." She paused.

"Wassup?"

"How about you just post whatever you want."
