Finding Joy

Chapter 4

"Damn Ma!" Erin crazy self said as I came downstairs.

"Boy don't be cussin in my house!" My mother yelled.

"Oh sorry Mrs. Carter. You're daughter is looking too sexy right now." He said.

"My daughter looks what?" My dad said coming into the room.

Right now I could smack the shit out of Erin.

"I mean she looks very beautiful sir." He said correcting himself.

I observed both Erin and Kelsey and Kelsey had on a black skuba skirt and a burgundy colored crop top and a black jacket paired with a burgundy colored heel and a dark lip stain adorned her lips.

Erin, had on distressed dark washed blue jeans, a white t shirt and a plaid shirt wrapped around his waist with his hair down in curls. He wore mens clothes, but still wore weave and majuro like a woman would. He looked cute and I was rocking with it. He had on Mac lip gloss and a black moto jacket with him.

"Listen seriously, make sure my baby girl is alright okay? Lauren you look beautiful." My dad said kissing my cheek.

"Thank you daddy. " I said smiling.

"You're welcome. " He said and kissed my cheek.

"Lauren be careful. Men, watch your Joy and Kelsey." My dad said looking at all the guys.

"Mr. Carter, you've got it." Erin said

"Alright y'all. Ohh Joy you look beautiful." My mom said.

"Thank you mama, we're leaving now." I said trying to wrap up their speeches.

I quickly got everybody out of the house and we were on our ways to the club.

"So who did y'all set me up with tonight?" I asked.

" He's a friend of Ty's and Ty said that even your daddy would like this guy." Kelsey said.

"It doesn't matter what my dad likes. It matters what I like. Am I gonna like this guy? Have you ever even been around him Kelsey because I'm not about to he stuck with no damn creep." I said rolling my eyes.

"Not everybody's a creep. I didn't meet him or know his name but it's okay, I promise Ty wouldn't put you with nobody who's a loser." Kelsey said.

"Kelsey I vouched for you, this man better be sexy as all hell. I still want you to get with Papa from the mall." Erin said.

"What guy from the mall?" James asked.

"A guy she met at the mall. She spilled food all over him." Erin said laughing obnoxiously.

"James you can calm your self down, I didn't even speak to him for long." I said.

"Better not had. Besides, I think you'll like Kelsey's cousin." My Chris said.

"Kelsey's cousin? My cousin who?" Kelsey asked.

"Thomas." Christian answered.

"Oh D! Ohhh I like that match. I should call him right now. When they supposed to be meeting?" she asked.

"Look here y'all, it's not gonna be set up Lau no more. After tonight it's not happening no more. If I'm meant to be with someone it'll happen now quit it please." I said annoyed as we pulled up to the club.

I jumped out from the truck quickly picking up my car keys and putting them in my bra along with my phone because I'm not buying my own drinks tonight, so it's no need to have a purse. I took off the jacket from my arms, and since the summer is starting it's nice, warm and toasty so I can go without something on my arm.
