________________________________"Wya right na'?" Jah asked as we walked into Footlocker.
"We inside Footlocker gone get a few pairs of sneakers for Toota" I spoke looking up seeing him eye a few shoes before looking at the price and slightly shaking his head.
"Ight we pullin' up" he said before hanging up. I shook my head before walking over towards Toota who was looking at some Jordan's.
"You like them" I asked looking over at him. He looked at me hesitating before answering me
"Nah not really" he said walking away and I sighed before signaling one of the ladies that worked here to help me.
"Hey pretty. Can you please get me these 5 pairs in a size 11½" I asked and she smiled before nodding and walking to the back where all them damn shoes was.
I walked around looking at new Forces for Pookie. Looking up, I saw Toota walking towards me with Cool Grey Jordan 11's Retro High and Concords.
"You sure that's all you want Toota?" I asked squinting my eyes knowing damn well I got him another 5 pairs at the counter.
"Yes mommy I'm sure" he nodded and I nodded my head walking over to the register just as the lady came back with all his other shoes.
"Sorry can I have these in a size 2 for kids" I asked her and she nodded going to the back to get it. A few minutes later she came back with the box and rang everything up.
She gave me a price and I paid before grabbing my receipt along with the bags and walking out with Kamari on the side of me.
"Mommy who all these shoes fa' " he asked looking at me like I'm crazy. I chuckled scanning the other stores before looking over at him.
"Its for you son son. I saw you looking at them and you kept looking at the prices which I didn't care for. You know I'd do anything for you so don't question me." I said and he rolled his eyes looking at me.
"But ma— but nothing Kamari. I love both my kids and whatever ya'll want, ya'll get and i told you we were going shopping today so ion wanna hear nothing else okay" I cut him off giving him a small smile and he sighed before nodding his head.
My phone started ringing in my back pocket and I grabbed it seeing that Jah was FaceTiming me.
"Yes bubba" I glanced down at the phone as we walked into Nike. I signaled for Toota to look around and get what he wanted. He nodded and walked away while I looked down at Jah.
"Where ya'll at?" He asked
"We're inside Nike" I answered and I looked down hearing the three beeps.
"This nigga gone have enough of hanging up on me" I mumbled shaking my head. I walked over to Toota and seen him looking through shirts, Nike Techs and joggers.
"Ight im done" he said and I nodded. We walked over to the register and paid just as my brother along with Kaelynn and Isaiah walked in and walked over to us.
"Hey mama" I smiled hugging Kaelynn as she swayed us side to side.
"Hey gorgeous" she chuckled as we pulled away and I hugged my brother just as he placed a kiss on my temple.
"Wassup lil bit" he spoke and I pulled away before punching him in his chest and he hissed mugging me while rubbing his chest.
"You gone learn to stop hanging up on me nigga" I playfully mugged him back before giving Isaiah a side hug.
