Victoria
Kiana's ass whined all day about me setting her up, but after our day of beauty, she had a whole different attitude. She's strutting around the house, breaking in her new Guiseppe Gladiator stillettos, flinging her freshly twisted locks all over the place, she got me and the kids cracking up in here.
"Mom, please tell Aunt Kiana that she can't wear those heels in the stands! How are we gonna concentrate on the game when everybody is gonna see her fall and almost break her neck getting to her seat?" Keeghan asked.
"And what makes you think I'm gonna fall down?", Kiana asked.
Just as she twirled to come back towards the sofa, where the kids and I were sitting, her hair got caught in the hat rack and snatched her back. The kids fell out laughing as I jumped up to untangle her dreads, snickering as I worked.
"Okay, so maybe I'll wear flip-flops to the game." Kiana said with a smile. "And I'll put my hair in a ponytail."
At the Game
"Run Kalvin!!!! Go, GO, GOOO!!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!" Ki and I screamed as Kalvin ran the ball in. The girls were on the sidelines cheering and screaming for their brother as he ran in the winning touchdown. It had been a very exciting game, with us winning 28-35 at the last minute, but then the McDonogh #35 vs St. Augustine Jamboree usually is. Being a Roneagle myself, I try to make it to all the games.
Kiana was on the phone with Kitana as I picked up our garbage and got ready to leave. "Okay, baby. Remember, keep it limited to just seniors and only in the pool house and around the pool. No drinking, no drugs, no sex, Victoria and I are going out, but we'll start setting it up for you before we lea...... yes we'll be gone by the time your friends get.... You KNOW WHAT? Your lil ungrateful @ss is about to not have No.....okay apology accepted, now hang up before ya mouth write a check ya ass can't cash.... love you too...BYE LIL GIRL!!!"
I was cracking up just listening to Ki side of the conversation. "So let me guess... The kids wanna have a victory party at the house, but they want us to set it up, get dressed, and be gone by the time they get there in less than an hour, right?" I asked.
"Yea, girl. Talkin bout I'm embarrassing and she don't want me trying to do the schmurda in front of her friends. She just mad because we out-twerked her and her lil squad at they last party. Lil hating @ss.." Ki replied. I cracked up at the memory. No grown women should ever dance like that! We were sore as hell the next day too.
"Don't worry about that or her, let's go home and get ready to go out. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of sitting around the house like an old maid. Our kids are grown, so it's time to get our grown and sexy on!" I said as we walked to my silver Audi SUV with cream and purple Fendi interior.
After decorating for our spoiled children, we got ready to head out. I wore a cheetah print romper with gold knee-high gladiator red bottoms. I'd had my hair flatironed earlier, so i pulled it up into a high ponytail with a few wisps at the edges. My makeup was a simple smokey eye with a nude glossy lip. Trust me, mama was giving EVERYTHING!!!! I went to check on Kiana.
"Girl, I feel like a hooker in church!" Kiana wailed as I walked into her suite. She had on a zebra print halter high lo dress with her silver guiseppes she had broken in and almost broke her neck in earlier. She looked fabulous with her locks pulled up into a bun and her smokey eyes and glossy red lips were flawless.
"Why Ki?" I asked. "It's not like it's an official date with just the two of you. We're going out for drinks in the same place he'll be in. That's it. So why you trippin'?"
