My parents and I sat and talked about how we planned to move forward. They're going to help me with my bills so I can just focus on school and not pickup absurd hours at Footlocker to pay rent.
"Daddy, King didn't get me a happy meal" Lyric said as she ran into the house.
"She didn't have McDonald's money" King shrugs his shoulders as he walked into the house.
"How was practice princess?" My dad asked as she walked over and sat down on his lap.
"Look what I learned how to do" She hopped down from his lip and went over to the middle of the room and did a back bend.
"Oop you is flexible" I laughed quoting that video of the little boy doing the splits. Quincy sits down next to me and rubs my lower back.
"How you feeling?" He asks me. He glanced down at my lips and I could tell he wanted to kiss me but was hesitant to do it in front of my family.
"I'm good" I replied with a smile, licking my lips at him, just being a tease.
"Quincy when are you gonna make us a piece? I need something right there" My dad asks pointing to an empty spot on the wall.
"Whatchu need? I'm finally caught up on my orders I can definitely do something" Quincy replies.
"What's your number?" My dad asks reaching for his phone off the coffee table.
"Unh unh exchange emails or something. Let's be professional. Ask for his fax number" I laughed even though I was so serious. They just ignored me and exchanged numbers. I liked how everyone got along with Q. Lyric likes him, King like him, my parents like him, this is the first time everybody approved of my boyfriend.
"Well we're gonna head back to the house" I said to my parents as I pulled out my phone to call us an uber.
"Already? Q you don't wanna play a quick game? What you scared or something?" My dad teased standing up from the couch.
"Scared? I ain't neva scared. Ion know if you can keep up. I'm not tryna break ya ankles at ya own crib"
"Mannn let's go. I'm already knowing yo ass weak" My dad laughs "King give him some shorts. What size shoe you wear?"
"A 9" Quincy took off his jacket and sat it down on the couch.
"Yup King got you. I ain't tryna hear no excuses" My dad chuckles.
"Shit it's only 3 of us can I call my boy Jalen? We can do a 2 on 2."
"If you think he gon help you win then go for it" King chuckled shaking his head. All three of them headed upstairs to change into something to hoop in.
"Welp I guess we're staying a while longer" I laughed kicking off my shoes to make myself more comfortable. My dad and King would be out back hooping for hours so I already knew they were going to be hooping for a minute with Jalen and Q.
"So how's Quincy? Is he treating you good?"
I didn't feel the need to tell her we were broken up this whole time. We were together now and that's all that mattered.
"Yeah he's treating me good." I nodded my head, "He's really mature, something I'm not used to but I like it. I need some mature energy in my life"
"That's good. How old is he?"
"He's 24" I replied
"Ahh okay that's not that bad of a difference. I'm happy you're happy. He seems like a good guy. Does he know about...ya know?"
