Before I start this story I never done anything I'm about to write about in this book this just for fun and to try something different😭.
Now let's get started💗
"Ari, get your ass down here the cookout about to start" My momma said, from down the hall
"I'm coming" I said, grabbing my phone off my nightstand. I shut my door then walk downstairs to see my momma cooking the Mac&Cheese.
"Ouu I see you making my favorite momma" I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek
"Of course babygirl oh before I forget your cousin Jordan bring his best friend to the cookout" she said, cutting the cheese.
"Okay do you know who his best friend is?" I asked my momma
"Child no you know he got a new best friend every week" she said, shaking her head.
"Momma, leave him alone you do the same thing" I said
"Aht mind you business now go help your auntie set up" she said
I shake my head and giggle a little bit before I head towards the back door to see my auntie setting up tables.
"Auntie, sit down I got it" I said, grabbing the fold up table from her.
"Don't gotta tell me twice" my auntie said, grabbing a chair and sitting down.
"Auntie you a trip" I said, laughing a little
"Girl, when you get my age you make other people do things for you" she said
I love my auntie she stays making me laugh. Me and her keep talking and laughing till people slowly started showing up so she went and talked to my uncles while I kept setting up the tables for the food.
I got the last table but it was giving me trouble so I end up dropping the table on my hand on accident. My momma came running out the house to check on me.
"Ari, how you drop the damn table on your hand?" My momma asked me
"I was trying to set it up but it end up falling on my hand" I said
"Girl, you so damn clumsy" my momma said, grabbing some ice and a towel to wrap around my hand.
"I'm not that clumsy" I said, holding the towel around my hand with my other hand.
My momma told me to sit down while she cussed my auntie out for not setting up the tables like she told her to do.
Everyone starts showing up just looking at me sit down with ice on my hand. Of course everyone was asking me what happened and I told them I dropped a table on my hand but I was fine.
They'll shake their head or tell me if I need anything they'll help me out.
I was about to get up so I stand up and almost fell till Jordan catch me.
"You good?" Jordan asked me
"Yeah nice catch" I told him, getting held in his arms
"Anytime" Jordan said
He stands me up and lets go of me. He steps aside and I see someone standing next to him.
"Ari, what happened to your hand?" Jordan asked me while I'm guessing his best friend was staring at me.
"I dropped a table on it" I said
Jordan starts shaking his head while he took my hand taking the towel and ice off of it.
"Damn Ari, you gotta start being more careful" Jordan said
"Jordan, I'm fine its just swollen and bruised" I said, taking my hand away from him
"We'll talk about this later" Jordan said
"If i didn't know better you acting like her nigga more then her fake cousin" my auntie said
For more information Jordan not my blood cousin. His dad is a family friend but they raised us as cousins so everyone treats us like we cousins.
"Ella go mind your business and stay out theirs" my momma said, walking back over to me
"Anyways Jordan, who's this?" my momma asked pointing to the guy next to Jordan
"That's my homeboy, Quan" Jordan said, dapping him up.
"Well welcome" my momma said, pulling him into a hug
"Oh I almost forgot this Ari she's my daughter" my momma said, pulling me closer to her
"You have a pretty daughter ma'am" my momma said
"Thanks" I said, I looked at Jordan and saw he was getting irritated so I changed the subject.
"Well I have to get back to helping auntie" I said
"No your not you and Jordan can go bring the food out while I talk his friend" my momma said
I nod my head while I walk into the house then into the kitchen with Jordan walking behind me.
"Well you can grab the ribs" I told Jordan, pointing to them.
"Nah, come here" he said
"Jordan, I told you my hand is fine look I even hold it with one hand" I said, holding the Mac&Cheese.
"Ari, I said get your ass over here" he told me
I put the Mac&Cheese down then walked over to him. He checked my hand once again making me whine in pain by his touch.
"Alright, I'm gonna wrap your hand up" he said, putting his hands on my waist picking me up putting me on the kitchen counter.
"No, it's already hurts I'll just let it heal without it being wrapped" I said
"I didn't ask" he said, letting go of my waist while he went to the bathroom and grabbed the bandages.
He came back and started wrapping my hand with the bandages.
"Next time wait till I'm here to put the tables up" he said
"But I'm independent I can do it myself" I said
"Ari, stop being so stubborn and just wait till I'm here" he said, still wrapping
"Can't make no promises" I said, shaking my head
"Yeah we'll see" he said, finishing wrapping my hand.
"Thanks" I said
I was about to jump down till he grabbed my waist again helping down. I was about to grab the Mac&Cheese again but he grabbed the Mac&Cheese with the ribs.
"I could have carried that" I told him
"To bad" he said, carrying the food out
I roll my eyes and smack my lips. I didn't break my hand so I'm not helpless I can help.
I walk in front of Jordan watching him carrying the food. My momma took the food from him while he walked back to Quan.
