If you had my love
And I gave you all my trust
Would you comfort me?

"I don't got the time nor the patience to deal with this bitch today

"I don't got the time nor the patience to deal with this bitch today." Imani mumbled, keeping her voice at a hush for only Maleah to hear. Sighing, she could only lay her head down on her sisters shoulder gently, because this was the last thing she expected to be happening.

All she wanted was a peaceful time to share some news that was already a mess in itself. But she at least felt comfortable with her and Chris' parents, knowing that even if they found their actions bad, which they did, they couldn't make a mess or mockery of it. Yeah they were upset, but it was really just coming from a place of love. Since deep down, it was obvious Maleah's parents were excited to become grandparents again, while Chris' were excited for their first.

"Chris I know you did not invite that girl to my home!" Monica whisper-yelled, looking at her son as though he'd lost his mind.

She wasn't at all the biggest fan of Stasia, especially not now after learning about the hidden aspects of herself that not many people knew about. Int the beginning she felt that she was a very sweet girl, but after meeting her a couple times, she seemed like she tried too hard to put on some perfect persona which clearly wasn't her. Then the fact she came to interrupt a time, which Monica had no doubt in her mind the girl knew was going on, was just the icing on the cake.

"I didn't invite her, I promise you I didn't-."

"Baby where should I sit?" Hearing her voice coming in again, everyone turned their focus towards Stasia who was running her fingers through her blue wig. "Maleah...maybe you should get up so I can take a seat next to my significant other. It's only what most respectful women would do." She smiled brightly, but Maleah could read right through it.

Not wanting to start conflict at Chris' parents dinner table, Maleah chose to just swallow down her pride and begin to get her things together. But she was quickly stopped by Monica who raised a hand up with her eyes glued to Maleah.

"Um no, you can find a chair around here somewhere dear- there should be one in the living room. You're our unexpected guest this evening, those who were meant to be at this dinner table tonight are already seated." Monica smiled warmly, her tone of voice coming out gentle although her words were far from that.

"Yeah bitch-."

"Imani Smith." Kenya grit, causing Imani to quickly apologize for cursing until remembering Cylis had done the same.

"Double standards in this family is wild, but I'll shut up now." She muttered, resting her head in the palm of her hand comfortably. An awkward silence consumed the table while everyone waited for Stasia to make a reappearance. Allowing the focus to go on her, since that's clearly what she wanted.
