After Placing the last few beads on the bead holder India threaded her 3 year old niece's hair into the loophole while holding her still with her opposite hand. Layla was steady trying to get away from her auntie who had been doing her hair for what she felt like forever "laylay I'm almost done this is the last one I just need you to sit still for a second " India talked gently to her niece who surprisingly listened and huffed a little making India chuckle to herself.

Once she got the rubber band around the bead to secure it she picked Layla up and stood her in front of her so that they were facing each other "ouuu look at the pretty girll" India cooed while tickling her niece who did nothing but giggle and squirm around

"Me see?" Layla touched her head and grabbed one of her braids that were dangling in her face "bead" she looked at India who picked her up and took her to the bathroom and made her stand on the counter as she looked at herself in the mirror smiling from ear to ear "me pretty" she pointed to herself

"Yes you are pretty baby, and don't you ever forget it"A knock on the door was heard just after she gave her niece a peck on the cheek. Gathering Layla from the bathroom counter, she said, "Who is it?" as she made her way to the door.

"it's hot cmon" Her best friend appeared to be irritated as she answered the door after hearing his familiar voice from the other side

"you always got an attitude and I hope you got me some" India opened the door wider welcoming her best friend in and shutting the door behind him

India and Benji had been best friends since they were in elementary school. They always stuck together throughout middle school and high. It was literally nothing Benji wouldn't do for India, if she needed anything he was there he always made sure she was straight mentally and physically and vice versa. Rather it was because of her boyfriends, her skimpy attire, or his general overprotectiveness, he was incessantly guarded when it came to India. For her, it was charming that he demonstrated that he cared about her, but not to the point where he behaved like her father or boyfriend or to the point where it was intolerable. He was like her second big brother.

"Na, dis just fa me" he sat on the couch and opened the bag of Chick-fil-A and took out his nuggets and chicken sandwich . "Hey lil momma" he said, beaming at Layla, who flushed and rushed to embrace his legs.

"Bwinji" she tried saying his name as he picked her up and hugged her tightly and sat her on his lap. The two really had an adorable relationship, whenever India  would watch Layla while her Sister was at work and Benji would be there they wouldn't do anything but laugh and bond all day. Benji really loved Layla and she loved him back

"you getting so big on me" He informed her, acting as if he didn't see her last week . He then reached for his chicken nuggets and gave one to Layla, who accepted it with joy. As Benji looked at India, she snatched his chicken sandwich from the table and he wrenched it out of her hand, causing Layla to giggle. India sat down next to them and turned on the television. With a mug she was always the one sharing with him but he never did the same.
"what she thought dis was?"
