Erin Pov

Andre dropped me off at home. Today was Thanksgiving day and everybody was spending the day with their family. I flat ironed my hair and put on a dark blue sweater dress with black leggings and my black UGGS. I walked to my brother's side of the house and went to his room. I koncked. He opened the door breathless. My twin looked a mess. He pulled me in his room.

"Help me with my outfit."

"You need to clean your room, first of all." He rolled his eyes and I walked in his closet. Our colors were dark blue and black. I threw my brother a dark blue buttoned down AE shirt and some black slacks. I tossed him his black loafers. He was dressed, but his hair was a mess too. "Bathroom," I ordered. I pulled out my step stool. "Hand me the moisturizer." He did. "Now the spray." Now his curls were refreshed. We took a picture and went downstairs. Our parents were downstairs. I saw my mom in a long sleeve maxi dress. Her long blonde hair were in loose curls. Her belly was poking out. She was eight months pregnant with a boy. My dad was in a dark blue sweater with slacks and loafers. My parents looked beautiful. They saw us coming. We hugged them.

"We're going to take pictures and have dinner with your mother's and I best friends," my dad said. I wonder who they were. We got in the car. I had the best family in the world. These people were my life. We were all getting self portraits. My beautiful white mother would have the best one hands down. We were all some sexy beasts.

2:00 p.m.

Asia Pov

I watched Jamal get dressed. He looked so yummy in his red. My Thanksgiving was ruined. I really wanted to spend it with Jamal and his family, but my parents were against it. I had to spend it with them. He finished and looked at me. 

"Don't be sad baby," he said. He sat beside me on his bed. "It's a good thing you're not coming. My mom text me and said that we were spending today with her and my dad bestfriends."

"So!"

"Nah. That's Erin's and Dre's parents. You would be uncomfortable." My mood changed. I instantly got mad.

"You're spending Thanksgiving with Erin?"

"Calm down. That's Dre's girl now."

"You say that like you'd be all on her if she wasn't." He narrowed his eyes at me.

"You don't trust me?"

"I saw how you looked at her the night of your birthday." He got up.

"You gotta go. We're about to leave." I stared at him and walked right past him. My walk home was depressing. I didn't like leaving things on a bad note with Jamal. I looked back and his family were getting in the car. They looked so happy. I wanted to be with them. I walked inside my house and smelled the korean food. We always ate early.

"Asia go get dressed, it's almost time to eat," my mom said. I just nodded dreadding this occasion. Sometimes i hated being Korean. Really I hated tradition.

3:00 p.m.

Andre Pov

Having dinner with my boss? This was going to be weird. I was texting Erin about it now.

Me: baby i don't like this. it's gonna be too weird.

mybaby: just don't like a savage. lol

I had to laugh at that. We pulled up at the place. Jamal was already here. I saw his dad's car. We haven't spoken in awhile. A part of me missed that nigga. We got out the car. My dad grabbed my mom's hand and walked in the building. I saw Steven talking to Thomas. There was a white woman here talking to Mrs. Janet. Mom ran to them. "Lisa! Jan!" she screamed. They all hugged. I searched for Jamal. I didn't see him.

"Happy Thanksgiving David and Andre," Steven said.

"Same to you," Dad said.

"Where's Jamal?" I asked. Thomas pointed around the corner. I excused myself and walked around the corner. I heard voices. Two males and a female. I hit the corner and I almost choked on air.

"Erin?" I said confused. She was sitting on the couch talking to Zeek until she looked at me.

"Andre? What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same."

"My dad.... You work for my dad?"

"Who's your dad?"

"Steven." I almost fainted. I'm dating my boss's daughter? I glared at Jamal.

"How come you didn't tell me?"

"Sworn to secrecy dude. She just found out about me."

"My dad is making an annoucement tonight."

Lisa Pov

My bestfriends and I sat at the table. We were catching up on old times. I haven't seen them in forever. Steven likes us to stay away from each other. None of us ask why.

"Lisa remember when you first came to Atlanta your freshmen year of high school?" Jas said laughing.

"How could I forget? I was the white girl with a black girls ass."

"Hey I was kind of there with you! I remember Steve quoted Sir-Mix-Alot's whole Baby Got Back." 

"I hated his ass."

"Now you having his third child," Janet added. I smiled and rubbed my stomach. "You guys were my two white bestfriends." We laughed. I missed them. We all took a selfie. Our children came from the back. I saw that Erin was standing really close to Andre.

"Uh oh Jasmine, looks like we might be in-laws," I joked. 

"Girl I wouldn't be surprised. Erin is always at my house. I just love seeing her pretty face."

"I don't think her and Jamal are talking," Janet pointed out.

"They're not," I said." He cheated on my baby." She just stared at me.

"Mmm." That was the only thing that came out her mouth.

"Teenage drama. Stay out of it," Jas said with an edge in her voice. They weren't going to stay out of it and neither was I. We might have been bestfriends, but there were times we didn't exactly see eye to eye. This was one of them.

I'm sorry I haven't updated you guys! I've been without internet for the past 2 weeks. I'm trying to start back, but it's not motivating when no one reads my story or gives me feedback. I'm possibly gonna discontinue this story, but I really don't want to! So get this out here. I'll update regularly. Pinky promise.. -Tamia♥
