Temetrius//Ja P.O.V.
Location- Dijah's Grandma's House
Time- 3:06 pm

We walked through the front door of the house to see people talking and kids running around. We made our way into the living room making our presence known to a few people.

"Is that Dijah?!" A deep voice rings out. A tall dark-skinned man with a bald head and a beard walks up to Dijah with a smile on his face.

Dijah cheeses, "Hey uncle Mo," She greets before hugging him.

"How you been baby?" He asks as she lets go of him.

"Good, nothing to complain about," She puts simply and he nods. He finally notices my presence and looks in my direction.

"Niece, who's this? I know this ain't King," He questions and Dijah rolls her eyes at the mention of King making me chuckle slightly.

"Yeah, I'm fasho not that nigga, but you already know who I am," I say confidently making her uncle chuckle.

"Here you go wit this cockiness," I hear Khadijah mumble.

"Unc, this is Temetrius, you know him as Ja. Ja this is my favorite uncle Mo," She introduces us. He holds his hand out and I dap him up.

"Wassup, I ain't gone give you a hard time, I fuck wit you. You can call me Mo," He says and I nod. He turns to Khadijah before speaking.

"Ya mom and dad are in the kitchen with grandma" He points and she nods. Dijah grabs my hand and leads me to the kitchen.

"Did I not say they was gone fuck wit me?" I whisper in her ear making her wave me off.

"He doesn't count, Uncle Mo fuck with everybody and their mom," She says as we enter the kitchen.

Khadijah// Dijah P.O.V.

"I know my eyes not deceiving me right now," My dad says as he squints looking in our direction. My mom and grandma stop what they were doing and look at us as well.

I chuckle, "Mom, dad, grandma, this is my boyfriend...," I trail off so Ja can speak.

"Ja Morant, nice to meet y'all," He flashes a smile.

"We know who you are, especially this one," My mom remarks as she pats my dad's chest.

My dad shakes his head playfully before walking up to Ja, "Nice to meet you too, I'm Idriss, and this is my wife, Aisha," My dad holds his hand out for Ja to shake and he does just that. They engage in conversation while I walk over to my grandma, giving her a hug.

"I missed you lil girl, you don't even come to visit anymore," She scolds me.

"I've been busyyy," I drag out and she scoffs.

"Yeah, busy with your new boyfriend," She smirks making me blush.

"He's handsome by the way," She adds.

I hum, "Very handsome," I smile, glancing over at him.

"You guys would make me some cute great-grandbabies," She smirks and I immediately shake my head.

"You already have one great-grandson for the moment. And Issac will be the next person to contribute to that list, not me" I say matter-of-factly. I don't plan on having kids anytime soon so she better not expect any from me anytime soon.

"If you say so," She sighs.

"I made you oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. I know those are your favorite," She says making me squeal.

"Thank you!" I smile widely.

"I hid them so nobody else takes any, let me know when you leave so I can give them to you," She tells me and I nod.
