Cerinaé POV
So my mother left for work at her office this morning. Now it's just me and Alexis. I'm going through my closet to see what I should wear for the party tonight.
"Don't be trying to look sexy." Alexis said laughing.
"I'm not. I just want to look presentable."
"Well that crop top you holding in your hand right now doesn't look presentable to me."
"Shut up." I said laughing with her.
"Seriously Cerinaé. Don't wear anything to revealing."
I sighed, "I just want him to notice me." I said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"And he will because you'll be the only girl respecting their body by actually wearing clothes." she said and I laughed.
"Just dress how you usually do. Look swagged out. But at the same time sexy." I nodded my head and continued to go through my closet.
"How's everyone doing down there?"
"Good. Jaden and Christian getting big, and Persia. Boy is that girl a trip. She starting to become like you."
"What you mean by that?" I asked.
"Fighting and not acting right. Disrespecting Tony and Roy. But she doing good in school though."
I just shook my head. "Call her on the phone please." I said.
"She doesn't have one. But I'm working on that though."
"Don't worry about that. Just call the house phone." she said.
She used her phone and put it on speaker.
"Hello." Perfect. Just the person I wanted to speak to.
"Hello." I said.
"Who the fuck is this?" she asked with an attitude.
I grabbed the phone out of lexis hand.
"Curse at me one more time see what happens next time I see you."
"Ceriné? I'm sorry I didn't know it was you."
"Mhm. You shouldn't be cursing at all. You know you weren't acting like that before I left. Tony not whooping your ass no more?"
She laughed, "Nah. Since you left, she treats me like you."
"Wow. What kind of parenting is that?" I asked.
"I don't know. But I'll stop cursing though."
"Yes please thank you. You sound like you trying to be down with the wrong crowd."
"Well I am. But at the same time I'm trying to avoid them."
"Well avoid them. They will get you into some deep shit that will either get you killed or put in jail."
"Well I don't want neither, so I'll take your word for it."
"Good." "So how's life treating you Ms.Carter?"
I rolled my eyes, "Good. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Unlike you." I said.
"I'm sorry. I'll do better." "I hope so."
"I will I promise."
"Mhm."
"GET YO ASS OF THAT MUTHERFUCKIN PHONE!!" I think Roy yelled at her. He sounded drunk; as usual.
"Nae, I gotta go. Love you." she said and the line went dead.
Alexis looked worried. "I've never heard him yell like that before."
