Flash Back

Arabian 13

Legacy 14

" Pops What  Bian still  doing here," I asked my father already knowing the answer. I knew i couldn't ask Rai cause she just shut down and stare at me if she doesn't want to answer.  she was standing in the kitchen pouring Arm N Hammer into something but before i could get a good look at what it was he pulled me into the living room. 

"She helping me out with something"  my father said

" Its ready Maze( Ma-Zee)" she yelled 

" Put that on the stove top" he yelled " Listen G I'll be right back"

" Why wont you let me help" I asked my father

"What?" he said

" I mean Rai's good but im your son you gonna need someone to pass your empire down to" i said boldly

" What empire" he asked dismissively

" come on Foe im not stupid I know you're a king pin pops"  i said

"imma pretend you didnt say that" he said about to head back to where rai was 

"pops i can do this im not a child anymore"

"youre mother would roll over in her grave if she heard you talking like this" my father said 

" i know mom was part of this too" i said

"who told you this" he asked

" I have my sources" i responded crossing my arms across my chest

" umm well you not doing this focus on school and taking care of your sistas you got a career ahead of you" he said dismiss me again but I didnt budge

"come on pops let me have one corner and if I can't Increase your sales I wont ask again" I negotiated 

" one day" he said I got excited

"but just on cooking $50 an hour no corners" he said

"come on pops one corner"  I tryed to change his mind but this time he didnt budge

"no  and if I catch you out there,  imma bet your high yellow ass til its black and blue" he said

" Just one week" I Said ignoring his treats

"you see there's the difference between you and Rai she always know when to quit" referring to the fact that Arabian Quit selling after being Arrested for having a dime sac in her house after a huge fight with her mother ms. Kayanni called the folks on her about month ago

end of flash back

" Yo know I all ways wondered why my father made you his protégé. I felt like he thought i couldn't do it. I remember you told me stop trying to impress him and just do you.  and thanking that's easy for you to say everything you did in his eyes was prefect you never had to fight for that attention. " I stood up I knew this wasn"t her fault but this Henny and anger was the worst combination at this point i cant help but to let everything go she just so happen to catch the worst of it. what can I say bad timing
