Nyeesha Brooks

When we arrived, it was about ten people here all setting up. The living room was transformed into this elegant setting.

What the hell could be possibly happening for all of this to be done?

"Hey Nyeesha," Chance's mother greeted me.

"Hey" I said as I gave her a hug. "I'm sorry about the last time we met, you're apart of the family now" she smiled as I laughed.

"It's okay" I said. "This is my dad Malcolm," I said introducing the two.

"Hey," he said as he shook her hand. "This is Chance's mother"

"Hey," I said as I greeted his dad.

"There's my daughter" he joked as he pulled me in for a hug.

"Enjoy yourself and relax," he said as I took a seat at one of the tables fidgeting with my fingers.

"What's wrong baby?" Chance asked me as he came and sat next to me.

"Oh, nothing" I said.

"Well fix your face, you wanna play cards until everything's set up?" he asked.

"Sure," I responded.

"Let me go get Taylor ugly ass," he said as he got up.

He then came back with both Taylor and Vic.

"Hey Vic," I responded waving at him smiling.

"Hey Ny, I ain't see you around in a minute," Vic said as Chance shuffled the cards dropping them on the table.

"Give 'em here," I said as he handed the cards to me. "And I'm always home, you should stop by more often" I told him. "I like your suit, you clean up well" I chuckled as Taylor butted in.

"What about me Ny? I don't look too bad myself right?" he asked as he stood up posing.

"Nah Tay, you look good too. Jealous much?" I asked as I dealt the cards.

"Hey auntie!" Taylor yelled to this gorgeous brown skin woman who appeared to be in her 40's.

"Is that my baby Taylor?" She asked as she ran up to him. "I haven't seen you in so long" she said as she rocked him back and forth.

"Chancelor, boy get your ass over here" she said as she put her hand on her hip.

"Hey aunt Diane," he said as he hugged her.

They was press for her or nah?

"Who is this beautiful woman right here?" she asked referring to me.

"This is my girlfriend Nyeesha," Chance cheesed.

"Nice to meet you Nyeesha, I'm their aunt Diane." she said as she shook my hand.

"Nice to meet you too," I said.

"Dinner's ready!" I heard someone's mama say.

Chance's cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends were all here at this big ass table.

As everyone had a plate, one of Chance's cousins stood up.

"I'd just like to thank everyone for coming for this special announcement." he announced. "It means the world to both my mom and I." he said as he pointed to Ms. Diane.

"Ny, who is that to the family?" my dad asked as he semi-pointed to Ms. Diane.

"Chance's aunt Diane, why?" I asked.
