The Harper Family: Faithfully Yours (Wattpad Version)

Above photo is who I pictured as Demarco.

I came home from school and walked into the kitchen to find Mami cooking. "Hey, Mami."

"Hey, mijo," Mami greeted me.

I kissed her cheek before grabbing a pop.

"Your papi and I are visiting your aunt and uncle after dinner. Did you want to go with us?"

"I would, but I have homework."

"Mijo, you work too hard. You need a break."

"I will, but I plan to get a good job. I can't do that if I don't get high marks." I smiled.

"Well, your brothers will be hanging out with your cousins. So you won't have anyone to disturb you."

"Sounds good."

Chase led Jorge into the kitchen. I grabbed Jorge a pop, opened it, and placed it in his hand.

"Thanks, D," Jorge said.

"No problem," I said.

Jaylen walked into the kitchen and grabbed a pop.

"I want you to behave yourself when you're with Dexter and Keaton," Mami told Jaylen.

"We're hanging out and playing video games. I doubt things will get crazy with us," Jaylen said in between sips.

"It doesn't matter. If you cause problems, you get the shoe." Mami pointed tongs at Jaylen and snapped them.

Jorge and I chuckled as Jaylen rolled his eyes.

Pops strolled into the kitchen toward Mami.  "Mmm, what smells so good."

"We have tacos and fajitas," Mami said.

"Damn, woman. You made my stomach twice as happy." Pops grinned at Mami.

"A way to my man's heart is through his stomach." Mami smirked.

"Ain't that right, baby." Pops kissed Mami's cheek before talking to us.

I didn't mind my parents being affectionate with each other. It showed they cared and had great respect for each other. That's why I was saving myself for my future wife. I only wanted to share that with her.

Pops stressed to us the importance of waiting for marriage. He said it was the one gift we could share with our spouse. Plus, it makes sex more special. I vowed my purity to my future wife. My brothers did the same.

We sat down and ate dinner. Pops asked us about our days. We joked around and laughed.

"I hear you and Pat are hanging out this weekend," Pops mentioned.

"Yeah, it's been a while. His girlfriend takes up most of his time," I said.

"Camille is a troll," Jaylen said.

"Mijo!" Mami exclaimed.

"What?"

"We don't speak ill of people. You don't want to deal with karma."

"Sorry, mami."

"I agree with Jaylen," Jorge said.

"Mijo!" Mami snapped.

"Mami, that girl is rotten to the core."

"Laticia. Boys. Let's not fight about some girl at the dinner table," Pops said

"Sorry," Mami and my brothers muttered.

We finished dinner but avoided the topic of Camille. I didn't know her well, so that I couldn't judge her character. Pat seemed happy. I'll talk to him this weekend when we hang out.
