Jah- "at cho big a s s age"

"shut up. this my momma till i die"

Ma- "yea, go take that stuff out" I still had my wig on. I went in the room I was in and in the bathroom to start taking it off and the braids down. Jah came in there and was leaning on the sink counter.

"can you go to the beauty supply store for me"

"nigga." he said straight facing me.

"pleaseeeee" I begged, pouting.

"what chu need bro"

"my shampoo and conditioner then a wide tooth comb"

"whea yo money at"

"igh" I started smiling and was finna kiss him but he backed up.

"you look like a dude right now" my. mouth. dropped.

"get out my face jashawn." and he left! He gon be single when he get back.

I finished taking my braids out and went downstairs.

"jah goin to get the stuff" I told her as they were sitting in the kitchen.

Ma- "ok"

"not, he get on my nerves. can't stand em"

TT- "could stand em to fuck em tho?"

"yes ma'am"

Ma- "aw lawd" I laughed. We were talking until he came back. I snatched the bag from him and he popped me. I walked over to the sink and mumbled something and I guess her heard me but ain't do nun.

"can you go get me a towel" I asked him

Jah- "no" I rolled my eyes and went to get me one. On my way back to the kitchen he was standing in the hallway, in my way.

"keep playin wit me."

"ian playin" and I walked passed him. My momma had the water running already.

She's washed and blow dried my hair. Now she's putting two plates in my head.

"you gon be ok down here baby?"

"yea, raya stayin down here wit me"

"ok, just askin because he does have work to do and it may be days where he's not here"

"yea i know. went 4 years without em, i can do a few days" she laughed.

"naw you can't. y'all back in each other's lives, it's gon be just how it was before"

"maybe, but i'll keep myself sane"

When she finished the braids she put oil in my head.

"alright girly" I was sitting on the floor in between her legs. I turned my body and laid my head on her leg.
