Christmas Day 🎄
Although everybody had their separate lives now that they're older Treasure always knew without a doubt that everybody was going to end up at her house on Christmas.
So she was up at the crack of dawn cooking with Tems Free My Mind blasting and to her surprise Brooklyn had joined her. She hadn't been downstairs to help cook in the morning since she was in middle school. She usually slept up until the it was time for the presents to be opened and she barley wanted to do that.
But she finally felt joy in her heart and wanted to help her mom with dinner like she use to and Treasure welcomed her with opened arms.
Dave was still upstairs sleep of course. Him and his wife went to a Christmas Eve party and he got drunk beyond limits. Treasure held her composure because she knew she had to get up and cook dinner.
Harmony, DJ, Loyal, Legend, Kamilla, and Kobe were also asleep. Things haven't been well between her and King. They weren't arguing but King kept his promise when he said he was going to leave her alone if their simple arguments got out of hand.
DJ was also at the Christmas Eve party along with Loyal since it was at Moni's house. Her brother's as well her uncles had no care in the world so they loved getting drunk no matter the age and DJ and Loyal took advantage with their father. Treasure was pissed but decided their first gift would be a slap when they wake up.
"You put the ham in the over already?" Treasure asked Brooklyn.
"Yes ma'am. I thought we were making Gumbo."
"I'm going to make it on New Years instead. Less people would be here." She said. "Let me show you how to wash the greens."
"I remember how. Ms. Tammy taught me." She said with a small smile and Treasure smiled at her before rubbing her back.
"I'm glad she taught you and you remembered."
"When you gonna wake everybody up?"
"When Kamilla and Kobe get up. I don't care how hungover they are. They not about to mess up Christmas."
"They was wilding mama." Brooklyn laughed. "Daddy always loud but he was on twenty last night."
"Talking about some damn I know you old Giggles but we can still try and have some babies. I almost slapped the fuck out of him."
Brooklyn laughed harder.
"I'm so sorry mama but that was funny. He would never call you that sober."
"Then Loyal wouldn't stop dancing everywhere. The only one with sense was DJ. All he did was throw up."
Brooklyn laughed.
She knew all too well about Loyal dancing. When he gets drunk that is his go to. That's how you know he drunk. Him dancing and loud.
DJ throwing up was a surprise though. He must've really overdid it because he never gets that wasted.
"Let me prepare this damn Peach Cobbler." Treasure said.
Heaven woke up and smiled as she laid against Killa's chest. She traced his tattoos and enjoyed the feeling of being wrapped in his arms.
This is what she loved.
She loved waking up to him. Hearing his heartbeat, smelling his scent. His warm embrace.
If this was a consistent thing she would move in with him in a heartbeat.
