Hasen R. Walker

HASEN sat in silence reading a book in her room. She had her hearing aid off, which made her reading better because there were no interruptions.

"Hasen!" Janet snapped her fingers in her daughter face making Hasen turn her hearing aid on, she sat her yellow bookmark in her book and looked at her mother.

"Momma please stop doing that." Hasen stressed, "I'm sorry, but you need to keep it on at times I be calling you for important things Hase." Janet said moving her freshly pressed dark brown hair out her face

"Ms.Netty, grandkids here. They gon stay in yo room until they grandmother come get them." Janet said and Hase scrunched her face up

"No. Momma no.." Hasen shook her head

"Its that cute lil boy True and his lil brother Adrian." Janet said looking at her daughter

"They can go in Mia and Mila room." Hasen said

"Momma that boy gon hit me. Last week he said he was gon hit me. Momma you want him to hit me?" Hasen added

"Hasen. Please that boy is not gon hit you." Janet sighed at her daughter foolishness

"Momma I swear you owe me. I mean owe me forreal." Hasen huffed as her mother smiled

"My sweet baby," Janet grabbed Hasen's face kissing both her cheeks with her lip gloss covered lips

"Momma stop!" Hasen whined pushing her mother away

"I'm going to the bakery around the corner, momma need her some scones. " Janet said leaving out her daughter's room

"Get me some!" Hasen called out as her door opened again revealing True and Adrian, Adrian smiled big seeing Hasen.

"Hii Hasen!" Adrian said excitedly running over to her hugging her making her smile

"Hii Adrian!" Hasen hugged him back

True sat in the chair that was across from her bed and looked around her room, with grey painted walls.

"If you not gonna speak get out. Your in my room so I can put you out." Hasen said looking at True

"Shut the fuck up, Hasen. Damn." True spoke and Hasen squinted her eyes at him

"Adrian you hungry?" Hasen asked and Adrian shook his head 'no' as he sat on the end of her bed trying to read a book she gave him.

True bit his bottom lip feeling the need to mess with Hasen.

"You gon ask me if I'm hungry?" True asked a smirk creeping on to his face

"Boy no. Fuck you." Hasen said quickly

" I could eat.." True said eyeing Hasen's attire, seeing the braids she had in two weeks ago were long gone and she now had box braids that came to her knees.

He looked down at her body seeing she was wearing a black tank top with yellow boxers on.

"Stop looking at me." Hasen mugged him , making him look at her face. He sighed heavily leaning back in the chair

"How old are you?" True asked curiously

"17. Why?" Hasen asked looking up from her phone.

"I'm just asking chillat." True said

"How old are you?" Hasen asked sitting up looking at him, she seen he was wearing a black tee, grey sweatpants and af1s

She noticed the gold chain around his neck, which she didn't miss the few tattoos on his perfect brown skin.
