A Thugs Daughter

Chapter 12

Brianna POV

We just got to St. Louis. The ride here was testing. We all got yelled at for one reason or another. I am currently walking on thin ice because I told his girlfriend that she was an ugly rat and that none of us like her. I thought it was pretty funny but he didn't. My dad rented a house for us while we're here. We all went and got freshened up before we went to our grandparents house.

When we got there, my aunt and her two daughters were also there. We spoke to everyone and then all the girls decided to go to the mall. I really don't feel like being bothered with this girl all day.

Before we left, my dad pulled me and Amai aside.

Dad: I don't want no shit out of either one of y'all. Brianna, you already on strike 2. You got one more time to do anything or say anything disrespectful and I'm whooping yo ass. Amai, you on strike 2, too. Same goes for you. Don't let me find out. Y'all understand me?

Me: Yeah.

He hit me with that look.

Me: Yes sir.

Amai: Yes sir.

We left and headed to the mall. She keeps trying to talk to us but I'm not saying anything that could possibly get me in trouble. I say one wrong thing and I'm getting my ass whooped.

When we got to the mall, me, Mimi, and our cousin Jasmine dip off to Pink while everyone else went to Justice.

Mimi: What did dad want with you and Amai before we left?

Me: He said we were on our last warning and to not say or do anything else disrespectful. And if we do, he gone whoop us.

Mimi: Damn.

We walked around in pink for a while before we left and headed to footlocker where we met up with everyone else.

She keeps trying to start up conversations but I ignore her. If I say anything, it might be considered disrespectful and I'm not reinforcing to get in trouble.

Aunt Marie: Alright ladies, we gotta start heading back soon but we can go to one more store. Any preferences?

Janay: Let's go to Charlotte Russe.

We went there and I bought a few shirts and some shorts. It was also this dress that was really cute that I wanted. I picked it up and then I heard someone next to me. I turned around and there she was.

Ciara: That dress is really cute.

I nodded and then continued to look.

Ciara: Brianna, would you please give me a chance?

Not her begging me to give her a chance. It ain't gone happen and she need to stop being so desperate.

I walked away from her.

I went to find Amai.

Amai: Hey sis. What you find?

Me: This dress. Isn't it cute?

Amai: It's pretty but dad will never let you wear it.
