"I already told you to chill out and stop doing so much" Meechie fussed at me over the phone while I got out of the car, going into my restaurant

"You brought be a business and now you getting upset because I gotta work"

"You got help. And I ain gettin mad cause you gotta work. You just need to chill Ari. You already complaining bout yo feet, back and shit be hurting and a big ass baby ain making it no better. You need to chill out"

"Ima chill. I just wanna see how they're doing"

Meechie sucked his teeth like he didn't believe me

"I'm serious. I'm not gonna do anything... I just don't wanna be home alone"

"I told you I was coming back early"

"No y'all have fun working on them cars. Ima just sit and chill"

Ari, if I call call Kay or Bri and they tell me you touchin a piece of food, ima come up there and drag yo home by yo bifocals"

"I don't even have my glasses on" I responded as I walked ok to the building

"Ain nobody playin Arielle"

"Okay! Damn. I'll talk to you later, okay? I love you"

"I love you too"

I hung up the phone and went straight to the counter seeing Yasmine ringing somebody up. She glanced up at me for a second

"Ari, some lady dropped some stuff off for you"

"Some lady?"

"Yeah. She came in here a couple of times. She said you catered her granddaughter's baby shower before"

"Oh, okay. I think I know who you talkin bout. What did she bring?"

"A WHOLEEE lot of baby stuff. It's in the back room"

"Oh hell" I muttered while going to the back, seeing bri cooking while Kay was talking to her, looking like she was in her feelings. Bri looked over at me and squinted her eyes

"Unt un. What you doing here? I heard Meechie mouth all morning about you"

"I was bored. I'm not touching nothing. I'm just going to see what this lady brought me" I threw my hands up then looked at Kay "what's wrong with you?"

"Her and benji being petty again"

"I'm not. He just make me sick"

"They been arguing all morning" bri told me and I laughed

"Over what?"

"Cause his daughter don't know how to sleep without him. And he told me I'm being dramatic cause I said she need to get out of our bed"

"You know benji for kinsley spoiled rotten"

"Well he gotta cut that shit out. That girl will be 2 in November. She need to sleep in her own like her brothers"

I made a face

"You just want dick. That's all it is"

"Of course!"

I laughed and walked off to the back room while she walked with me

"I wanna hear these text messages"

"Chileee"  she pulled out her phone and I looked around at all the stuff the woman brought. Just like Yasmine said, it was a whole lot of shit. Baby clothes, bottles, diapers, wipes, wash cloths, towels, a brush and manicure kit.. so much stuff
