(Aaliyah ⬆⬆)

Sanai

All of us was at the table eating and talking, I had spoke to Liyah and told her to"come by the house. She was hesitant at first but then she told me she will show up, I really wasn't hungry.

"What's wrong Nai"? My mom ask.

"Nothing not really hungry".

"You bet not be pregnant" my dad said looking at me.

"No I'm not just don't feel like eating, I have invited someone to eat dinner with us I hope you didn't mind if I ask her to come".

"Its fine where is she"? My mom ask.

"She should be here in a minute" I was so nervous you would think I was bringing a guy home for my parents to meet them. Its a good thing that AJ and Austin girlfriends are not here its only just us.

"Sanai you sure you okay cause you over here bouncing your leg" AJ said then everyone else look at me.

I stop bouncing my leg and gave them a warm smile, "I'm just a little nervous about this".

"What you mean"? Austin ask.

Just when I was about to speak my phone went off letting me know I receive a text, I open it up and Aaliyah had text me that she was outside. "Excuse me for a minute she's outside I'm about to go get her" I got up from my seat and went out the door, I hope everything goes smooth.

Aaliyah

"You know I was thinking maybe we can try this again later I'm having second thoughts about this".

"I feel you but we can't turn back now they already know you coming, the only thing is I didn't mention your name" Sanai said.

"Okay I'm ready" I took a deep breath and exhale out slowly. Then some guy came out the house walking over to us.

"What's taking you so long bring your her in the house, by the way my name is August but you can call me AJ" he said grabbing my hand kissing it.

"Okay move go back in the house" Sanai said moving his hand away from mines.

"Don't show out cause you have company" he say walking back up to the door.

"I'm sorry about that just to let you know that's our brother, he just don't know about you yet".

"Oh but he will" I say, We both walk into the house and my heart was just beating I felt like I wanted to faint.

"Damn Sanai you didn't say that your friend was fine" the other boy said.

"Told you man" AJ put his two cents in, I look directly at my mom and dad. I wanted to run up to both of them and hug them but we'll see how this go.

"It's nice to meet you- wait you look so much familiar" my mom said getting up from her seat walking up to me, my breath got caught up in my throat I was so nervous.

She look at me for a good minute and tears start to fall from her eyes then I began to cry. "What's going here"? My dad said.

"Its Aaliyah baby" my mom said between her cries, she look back at me and hug me as I hug her back not letting go.

"Aaliyah? Wait, what how could it be"? He got up from his seat and came over to where I was looking at me.

"Yes its me daddy" I smile at him and pull him into a hug, he wrap his arms around me hugging me so tight which I didn't mind at all.

"I would like to know what's going here me and Austin is lost" AJ said.

"This is y'all oldest sister" my mom told them.

"Oldest sister? How come we never heard about her".

"Its a long story" she said.

"I know I have a lot of explaining to do but just of right now I would like to just feel welcome" I say.

"Wow another sister, I thought you was just a friend cause I was definitely going to get your number" AJ said.

"Don't make me call Nique on you" Sanai said. After crying and hugging we all sat down at the table, it felt awkward but in a good way. I have a sister and two brothers, Austin didn't really say much to me which I can understand hopefully he would feel comfortable around me.

Austin

This is crazy how come I didn't find out about her now all of a sudden she wants to pop back up in the picture like everything is peachy. It's going to take a while before I get use to her, I watch them as they was talking and having a good time.

"Austin why you not in there with the rest of us"? My momma ask.

"Cause I don't know here since you and pops never mentioned her so why should I act like everything is good".

"I understand you may be upset at least get to know her A she's your sister".

"Nah she ain't no sister of mines y'all can be all jolly and happy but I'm not about to sit here and be apart of it" I got up grab my keys and left out with my momma calling after me, how she going to expect me to get to know that girl when I don't.

"Baby just calm down I know you hurting and upset, don't you think it wouldn't hurt to bond with your sister".

"I really don't want to hear that right now let just talk about something else".

In a way I know since she was going to be around mind as well get use to it, but still I'm not to comfortable with her yet.

AJ

I still can't believe I have another sister, Austin was sorta mad. "So what did you do when you found about your older sister"? Nique ask.

Soon as Ieft from my folks house I couldn't wait to tell her what I found out.

"I was shock at first then I got to know her more she's cool and crazy just like Sanai, you gonna have to meet her as well. How about this I bring my folks to the house we chill eat crawfish and just enjoy each other company, your mom is welcome to come to".

"That don't sound bad at all, we can do that" She say then left out the room, I grab my phone off the stand and sent Nai and Liyah a goodnight text. I did the same to Austin and of course he wanted to text me a long ass paragraph, I dail his number waiting for him to pick up.

"Yeah"? He say.

"I just sent you a goodnight text and you coming with paragraphs, what's up with you"?

"Man tomorrow come get me on my lunch break so I can tell you".

"Ight" I ended the call put my phone back on the stand and start getting ready for bed, I'm starting to feel like that Nique is cheating then again I might be trippin.
