Complextion

Savannah POV

The bright smile of the sun rushing through the blinds woke me up from a much needed 12-hour rest. Stretching, I looked over at my clock and nearly popped out my eyes.

"Oh shit!" Jumping out of bed, I rushed to my bathroom to take a quick shower. It totally slipped my mind that my Aunt Bertha was coming in town today.

After the shower I slipped on some joggers, my Nike slides, and Tulane sweatshirt. "Should I unwrap my hair?" I contemplated over and over until noticed that I walking to the car.

Once inside, I immediately went to my music and played "Complexion (Zulu Love)" by Kendrick Lamar.

"Sneak me through the back window, I'm a good field nigga
I made a flower for you outta cotton just to chill with you"

By the time I made it to the airport, I finished the album for the 7th time. I parked and decided to greet her inside.

I walked to the terminal area that she told me to meet her at. I must've checked my phone at least ten times to see what the hell was going on. I came to the airport at 2:15 and now it's 3:45. Usually it's maybe 20 minutes off schedule, but never this long.

When I get really nervous or pissed off I tap my left foot and bite my right-hand nails. All over the news I've been hearing out about planes going missing or crashing. If anything has happened I'm setting it off in this mother.

"Is that my Cookie?" A familiar voice yelled.

Turning around, I began to cry tears of joy.

"Hey auntie, I missed you so much." I hugged the short woman for dear life.

"Baby I miss you too! Now let me go, my wig about to fall off because of you" I just laughed and we made our way to the car.

I already knew she was going to start bombarding me with questions and I honestly wasn't here for the bullshit.

"So Cookie, what's this I hear about you dating a white man?" she asked taking out a cigarette.

"First of all I've told you about smoking in my house and car! Second of all I'm having a dinner this weekend so you can meet him and his family."

"Little girl who in the hell do you think you talking to. Without my help, your ass wouldn't even be up here with the white folks! So technically this car and that house is mine and I can smoke in this bitch if I want to!" she said and blowing smoke in my face.

"Auntie can you promise me one thing this weekend?"

"Girl what, you working on my nerves right now!"

"Just be nice to his family, ok. Give them a chance." I said with puppy dog eyes.

'I'll be nice to the crack- I mean to the family for you and only you."

"Thank you auntie!"

We made it to the house and already knew all hell will break loose once my brother came home. I brought her bags to the guest room and decided to cook some brunch for us.

I walked to the kitchen and found her already cooking up a storm.

"Cookie hand me them chitlins and lemons."

"Why are you cooking that stinky, country shit in my house? You're the only one who eats it!" I covered up my nose and handed her the stuff.

"You acting like your black ass didn't grow up eating this. This is real food right here, none of that vegan, gluten free nonsense. Now hand me the black pepper."
