A'LANI SYMONE OWENS

Yay! Today is finally Christmas Eve and I'm helping niyah buy some last minute gifts for king and Kj. "You think he'll like this?" She held an gold Armani watch. "Ouu dats pretty. Yeah you should get him that. Do you know if they have a child version of it?" I ask looking around the counter.

"They probably do." She got Kj a black Armani puffer jacket, Armani shirts in all colors, and three pair of Armani jeans. "I think imma get him and king some Alexander McQueens, maybe a hat too." And of course I agreed with her.

I would buy all that shit for my son and baby daddy too. As long as we getting along though.

We went to a few more store and bought some more toys for Kj. And me being a caring person, I bought baby clothes for Ace unborn baby. Why? The hell if I know.

Now we're inside of Wendy's ordering food.

"Yes can i get 2 foe fa foe with honey mustard and a strawberry lemonade?" I ordered for me and ace. She told me my total and niyah ordered next.

"Please, this is all I have. I haven't eaten in 4 days." I looked over to a slim brow skin girl with a messy head of hair and a little boy with clothes on that looked like they was dragged through the damn mud.

I walked over to her and she looked me up and down. "How much do you need?" I went through my wallet to find my cash app card. "5 more dollars." She looked down like she was embarrassed.

The lady gave her the food and the girl turned to me. "Thank you so much. You don't understand how much I needed this." She smiled, showing her braces. "What's your name?" I ask her. "Aaliyah and this is my little brother, Jordan." She informed me. "Well I'm A'Lani and you're welcome. Do guys need a ride home?" Aaliyah sighed. "We don't...have anywhere to go." Aww poor babies. I should go and slap they damn mama!

"Ok this is what we gon do, me and my friend just ordered our food. You two can eat over there in the booth until our food is done. I'm gonna take you with us." I stated. "Oh no, you don't have to do that. I don't want to be a bother." She shook her head.

"Just go and eat then I'll tell you when we're ready."

After I went back over to niyah, I told her everything and she said it was fine.

So now we all are in the car, driving to my mama house to get in my car then head to my apartment.

"Alright bitch, see you later on tonight." I kissed niyah cheek and opened the door. "See ya hoe." Cunt. "Come on y'all." Jordan waat asleep in Aaliyah arms. I opened the back door of my car to let her lay him down on the seat. She got in the front with me and I drove off to my apartment.

I opened the door to my apartment and we walked inside. "This is the guess bedroom. You and your brother can stay in and a bathroom right across from it." I took her down the hall.

"I'll bring you some undergarments and pajamas. Does he still wear pull-ups?" She nodded yes. "Thank god. Ok so my nephew stays here sometimes so I can give him one of his and come pajamas as well."

"Thanks again. We've been sleeping in the cold for 5 days." Damn. "Well you can stay here for as long as you want. I'm barely here anyway." I shrug.

I left out the room and into mines to get the stuff for them. "You can baise him in my tub since I have a jacuzzi stingy and shampoo and whatever you need. Imma be in the living room waiting for y'all." She says thank you and I walk down the two stairs into the living room.

AALIYAH MARIE HARRIS

"Come J, take your clothes off." I told my younger brother as I turned the water off. I put him inside and he played with the bubbles.

I grabbed the soap, washing his neck, back, and privates parts. I rinsed the rag out and placed it on the side of the tub.

"Wanna keep the massagers on?" He nodded yes. "K, sit down buba." He sat down and I grabbed the shampoo then poured some in my hand. I rubbed it in and massaged his scalp. I laughed a little at how his mouth went ajar and his eye got heavy.

Once I was finished, I laid him back, rinsing it all out. "Alright." I drained the tub and grabbed his towel. Once he dried off, I lotion him up and not him dressed in the pajamas A'Lani gave me. I put him on some socks and mickey mouse slippers that came with the pajamas.

"Ok, stay right here. I'm gonna go shower now." He nodded and laid back on the bed.

I walked back into the big bathroom and turned on the shower. I undressed myself and naired my legs and private part. I stood there for 10 minutes then got inside to take it off with my rag. Once I finished that, I used my other rag and washed myself.

15 minutes later, I got out and got dressed. "Let brush our teeth buba." I grabbed him and sat him down on the bathroom counter. She gave us spare toothbrushes.

Now we're in the living room.

"We're done." A'Lani looked over at us and stood up.

"So since it's Christmas Eve, we gonna go over to my mama house. It's only gon be a few people there. But niyah is bringing her son, king. Maybe your brother could play with him." She tells me. "Ok, that's fine."

We left the house and drove towards A'Lani mama house and got out the car. She unlocked the house door and the smell of finger food and loud christmas music was heard.

We walked inside and Jordan shook my hand. I looked down at him and saw he was looking at me.

"It's ok. They ain't gonna hurt you baby." I informed him. "Ok, Kingston, this is Jordan. Do you wanna show him your toys you brought over?" A'Lani asked. "Shuwa come on." The little boy grabbed Jordan hand, pulling him upstairs.

"And you, come with me." Grabbed my hand. She led me outside where it was a big pool and jacuzzi. I noticed that the niyah girl was out here smoking the hookah on somebody's lap. I had to take a double take cause I thought I seen Ace Banks.

"Y'all, this is Aaliyah. My new friend. Aaliyah this is Kj, niyah baby daddy. Ka'Sani, my boyfriend. And my best friend ace." Oh my god it is him. "Hey." I smiled and waved to all of them, along with the rest of the people that was sitting around the table.

I sat down between a girl and Ace. "Hey, I'm Lynn." The girl smiles at me. "Hi." Well this is awkward. But after a few minutes, we started to talk. I really like all of A'Lani friends. But mostly Lynn.
