i didn't feel like doing any makeup or anything so i just finished letting my hair air dry then went into the hallway, i walked past the bathroom door before i turned back around.
"what y'all doing?" i asked opening the door more.
sahari looked up at with a mouthful of cheeto puffs, journey was sitting in the rim of the bathtub painting sahari's toes.
sahari was sitting on top of the toilet lid with cheeto dust on her mouth,"uhhh- we're doing nails." journey replied and i looked at sahari finger nails which were also painted blue.
"damn this where y'all disappeared to." i said grabbing a baby wipe and wiped off sahari face.
"why i ain't get invited to this family meeting??" acadia asked.
"why she look mad-?" acadia asked and i looked at sahari who was mugging us.
"if you want us in here just say dat." i said and she looked at me then pointed at the door making journey laugh.
"yo lil ass always been mean-" i said.

"MA ACADIA TRYNA GET ME!!!" malia yelled running into the room.
she jumped onto the bed getting behind me as acadia opened the door,"leave her alone." i said to acadia.
"i— i'm not even doing nun." she said and i could tell she was lying.
"she tryna hit me cause i called her a pothead." malia said and i laughed.
"ight don't yall be in there being ike and tina." i said.
"we not." acadia said sitting down.
the door opener and journey walked in with sahari behind her,"i love how she's obsessed with you now." acadia said.
"foreal, she ain't never been this attached to someone." i said.
"i don't know why— i went to amare's and yana was there, everytime yana picked her up, she would be cool for a few seconds then reach for me again." she said and i shook my head.
"hold on hold on...try and kiss her." acadia said.
this the ultimate test
journey picked her up and kissed her cheek, she didn't even try to move back or anything.
she looked at journey then at us then back at journey and laid her head on her shoulder.
"i- fake as hell." acadia said grabbing my hand.
she stared at my tattoo,"mama, i wanna tattoo for my birthday." she said.
"ight, see what kind you want." i said and she hugged me.
"thank youu- wait mom is that cool with you??" she asked journey who nodded.
"awe mane yall the best dawg." she said wiping fake tears and i mushed her head.
"girl get the fuck out, and take malia with you."
"dang ma if y'all ain't want us in here just say dat." she said getting up.
"if we gotta go you gotta go." acadia said picking up sahari who started throwing a fit.
"ouuu ion like you no more." she said putting her back down and walked out with malia.
sahari came and crawled into my lap,"you had fun at uncle amare house?" i asked her and she nodded as she started playing with strands of my hair.
journey laid beside me,"you tired??" i asked her and she nodded.
"from what?"
"from living." she answered nonchalant.
"just so use to being cramped up in that room it's weird to really be walking around and having freedom, i guess." she said looking at me.
"uh huh, i understand." she said and i moved her dreads outta her face.
sahari grabbed my lipgloss off the night dresser then got out my lap, she unscrewed the top and put some on journey lips.
"this sticky ass shit..." journey mumbled wiping it off but sahari only put more on.
"not her making you wear it." i said and journey shook her head.
"i guess yo pillows finna have lipgloss on them." she said and i shrugged.
"gone head, i've had baby throw up on them lipgloss will be fine." i said looking at sahari who was looking at the tv.
i picked her up,"let's go give you a bath." i said getting up.
sahari climbed down from the bed and followed me to the bathroom, i held out two bottles of bubbles.
"the red or blue one." she looked between the both of them before grabbing the red one.
