90's Love

17.

Tyren, Antwon! Come down here now!"

"Dang what he want now?" Tyren asked as I shrugged.

"Guess we'll see when we get down there."

Walking out of the room and down the stairs pops paced back and forth across the living room floor with with his arms folded over his chest.

Hey pops! How ya doin?"
Tyren went to hug him as pops pushed him on the couch.

"Dang you ain't have to diss me like that man."

"Tyren sit down and shut up, Ant come on sit down."

"What's wrong wit you?" I asked sitting on the couch.

"You tell me, I got a call from Frank and he said something about you all in a dark room with his daughter?"

Tyren and I looked at each other. "Nah pops, it ain't nothing like that. I had Moesha and Ant has Ashley."

"Ashley? Banks!" He asked his eyes looking at me. "My bosses daughter?"

"Tyren!" I called him shaking my head

"Oh shit, I forgot my bad Ant."

"Pops honestly it wasn't nothing serious for real, we just played seven minutes and chilled until her dad came in that was it."

"Seven minutes? What is that?"

"André, you have a phone call." Monica said saving us from an explanation.

"Okay honey, fellas when I get back from this phone call I wanna talk to you all about something so don't go anywhere."

"Okay." We both answered.

"Damn Ty, you can't hold water."

"I know my bad Ant, I don't do good under pressure."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes at him.

Grabbing the remote from the coffee table I switched through the different channels until I found a basketball game on the espn channel.

"What you think he gotta tell us?" Tyren asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

I continued watched the game until pops walked back in standing in front of the tv.

"So, I think it's time that you two get a job."

"A job!" Tyren questioned standing to his feet.

"Yes Tyren a job, it'll be something for you all to do after school instead of coming home and eating up all the food the rest of the day. You all can make your own money instead of asking me for some."

"Is this because of the other day?" Tyren asked.

"Partially, but it's because you two are young men who need to do more for yourselves, especially you Tyren you've been eating from the palm of my hand for all of these years it's time for you to do more on your own."
