~Yadira~

   I pulled up to the airport pickup area at 10:45 waiting for my best friend to arrive. Raven and I have been friends since we were five years old. We met in our kindergarten class. It was Raven, Tyra, and I until Tyra moved to France with her husband.
   I pulled out my phone and scrolled on Instagram and liked pictures occasionally. I ran across a picture of raven and her niece on the plane and I smiled. I've seen Camilla before but she was much younger back then.

  Five minutes passed by and Raven and Camilla finally came out. I quickly got out of the car and attacked my bestie with a hug.

"My babyyyyy!" I screamed.

"My babyyyyy!" Raven screamed back.

  Camilla watched from a distance while her face went from confused to laughing her head off.

"Milllaaaa." I hugged her and picked her up. I carried her to the car while Raven placed the bags in the trunk.

"Hi princess!" I greeted her.

"Hi Yadira." She smiled.

   I placed her in the back seat and hopped back into the drivers seat.

"Bestie, I need a huge favor please." Raven turned to me.

"What's up Raven?"

"I really I need you to go to the store while I'm at work. I need you to get Camilla a booster seat or a car seat. I also need you to get her a suitcase and some snacks. I'll send you the money, I just have a lot going on." She explained.

"I got you. But I need you to get her by eight, I have a date tonight."

She smirked and looked back at Camilla.

"What's wrong Mimi?" She asked her.

"I'm hungry auntie." She replied.

"Ok, auntie give you something right now."

"Ok."

"Ill just get her something from the house." Raven turned to me.

"Alrighty then. Mila it'll take us about ten minutes to get home. Can you wait till then?" I asked her looking in the rear view mirror.

She nodded.

   We finally pulled up to the apartments and I parked in my usual spot next to Raven. We all got out of the car and Raven grabbed her bag while I grabbed Mila. I unlocked the apartment door and let Mila run freely. I went inside of the kitchen and began fixing Mila some cereal. Raven walked in and dragged her suitcase to her room. She slammed her door making Camilla jump.

"Don't worry Mila. She's just late for work. Here come eat your cereal then we'll go to the store when auntie leaves."

She nodded and sat at the bar. She began devouring her cereal and looked up at me.

"Thank you." She said with a mouthful of cereal.

"You're welcome. Now hurry up so we can go Chile."

Raven came out of her room with her usual work pants, blazer, and heels. She had a purse on her right arm and had her phone on her left ear talking loud on the phone. She kissed Camilla on the cheek and waved goodbye to me. We watched her walk out the door and I sighed.

.................................

We finally were driving home from the store! After ripping and running through every isle we finally got what we needed. She got a Minnie Mouse car seat, goldfish, lucky charms, cookies, and of course juice.

"Yadira, does auntie Raven have a boyfriend?" She asked.

"Girl no, she need one. You seen how crazy she looked this morning? Yeah, she needs some d- a boyfriend. She needs a boyfriend." I laughed nervously.

"This why I can't have kids." I whispered to myself.

"Well we should set her up for a date." Camilla smiled,

"Good idea. Unfortunately, your auntie is very busy. Maybe we can try some other time." I smiled.

She nodded and we continued our journey home. It was now around two and Mila and I definitely needed a nap.

I turned the music down once we pulled into my parking spot. I looked back at a sleeping Camila and sighed. She was in her car seat sleeping peacefully meaning I'd have to carry her big self in the apartment. I rolled my eyes and picked up the bags from the front seat. I set them down next to the door and went back for Mila. I grabbed her and headed inside. I put her in Raven's bed and grabbed the bags from outside. I didn't bother on putting anything away and went straight to my room. I plopped on my bed and fell right asleep.

Raven
6:35 pm

I unlocked the door to the apartment and set my keys on the hook. I looked into the kitchen for a sign of the girls but inside I found grocery bags on the floor and heard Yadira snoring.

"God damn it Yadira. I asked for a couple of hours." I mentally rolled my eyes.

I walked into my room and saw Camilla drawing in my bed. I took a picture of her and sent it to my sister and mom.

"Mila." I called.

"Auntie!!" Her eyes lit up.

She jumped off the bed and jumped into my arms. I kissed her cheek and put her on the bed.

"Hi my love. Did you have fun with Yadi?"

"Yes. Where are we going auntie?" She asked.

"Welll... auntie wanted to surprise you with something but first you have to get dressed. Umm put on the pj's mommy had in your bag." I told her.

She put them on and I put her hair in a bun. I changed out of my hot work clothes and changed into simple joggers and T-shirt. I was going to take her to the mall to get clothes and make a pizza with her.

I walked into Yadira's room and noticed she was wide awake.

"About time. You could've killed my niece bitch." I said to her before walking into her bathroom.

"Raven shut up. I can't wait till somebody son dick yo dramatic ass down. You is irritating." She said putting her hair into a ponytail. I looked at her attire and noticed she was wearing a green crop top, white shorts, and green flip flops.

"So how do I look?" She asked doing a spin.

"You look- you look great Yadira like princess Tiana." Camila Interrupted.

"Good. And you look cute too baby. You have fun with your auntie tonight. Y'all are going to have so much fun."

Camilla nodded and turned to me.

"Auntie when are we leaving?" She asked.

"Right now. Let's go. I gotta seat your seat from Yadis car."
