Looking around the backyard i realized it was too damn crowded at my mama's house, don't know why she wanted to host a gathering today
I saw all my bad ass little cousins at the table eating crawfish while drinking juice and the adults conversing over crawfish as well and a game of uno
I got up and started to walk in the kitchen and saw my sister sipping on a daiquiri, "Who gave you that?" i asked
"Ma made it, go get you one" she said sipping and smiling
"That shit better be non-alcoholic" i said mushing her head
I went to the kitchen and saw my weird ass auntie helping ma cook whatever was on the stove, probably gumbo
"Hey Malakai, you know how to speak to folks right?" She asked looking me up and down
"Yea, just not to you tho" I said instantly mugging her
"Treat her with respect, that's your aunt" I heard ma said coming up behind me
"She don't respect you at all tho, what i l-" She gave me that stern ass look making me stop my sentence all together
I really dislike this bitch with a passion and everybody in this family knows this shit, don't even know why she here
Never been the type of nigga to let people play with the people i love and this weird ass bitch did exactly that
I remember it very clearly, it was during hurricane katrina and ma was having a hard time finding shelter for us and the next person she decided to ask was her sister
Not knowing she was going to turn her down just because she was layed up with her husband, my dad ain't shit for that man
Shaking my head from my thoughts i grabbed my keys off the table and walked towards the front of the house
"Makiya, you wanna slide with me bro?" I asked looking over at her for a response
"Voodoo Mart?" she asked making me nod my head
She got up with the quickness, grabbing her stuff and following behind me to the car
Once we got in we got on route to the store to pick up a few things ma needed for the rest of the evening pertaining to this party
"Malakai i got a question" I heard Makiya ask next to me making me turn the music off, putting my attention on her
"Wassam? you good?" I asked
She nodded her head and smiled, "Yea i just wanted to know if i could come stay with you for a week or two" She asked
I smiled and nodded my head thinking i would never hear her ask me this
It feels good to know my sister would wanna come stay with me, thought she ain really fuck with a nigga like that no mo
"Hell yea, you know i leave tonight tho. If you serious you gotta tell ma and let her know before i leave" I said parking on the side of street
"I got you, i will when we get back. Hopefully she says yes" She says getting out the car
"Ain nun to just kidnap yo ass " I said shrugging
"Cmon na brudda" She said laughing making me laugh as well
Back at the house
After the party ended and everyone left, me and Makiya was left cleaning while Ma stored all the left over food
I was in the backyard cleaning the tables and gathering trash hearing the sliding door open making me turn around
"She said it's fine for me to go with you. I'm so excited what the heck" She said excitedly
"Nigga go pack then, it's almost 8. I wanna be on the road by 9" I told her while finishing the cleaning i had to do
"Ok" she said turning around and going back in the house
I grabbed my ringing phone out my pocket and looked at who was calling
incoming call from JD
"Say wassam with you brudda" JD loud ass said through my phone
JD is also from new orleans but he recently made the move to Raleigh around the same time i did. We group up together so he's basically my brother from another mother
"Shit ain nun brudda, bout to head back on up there" I said going upstairs to prepare to shower and get ready to leave
I heard music coming from Makiya room which indicates she was indeed getting ready
"Fuck you getting on the road so late for?" He asked
"Ma had a party this afternoon and ian wanna leave in the middle of that shit" I said grabbing my towel and washcloth out the dresser
"Oh alr, bring some of that food back too nigga. You coming back to a starving ass nigga" He said making me laugh at his stupid ass
"I got you, Kiy coming with me too" I said in response
"Awl shi big Kiy in goddamn Raleigh. Thought she would never wanna leave from down there" JD said sounding excited cause he haven't seen Makiya in the same amount of time i have
He's like another older brother to her as well
"Yea she wanna have a change of scenery i guess, i understand tho i was the same way" I said shrugging
"But ight brudda, be safe on that road n i'll see yal niggas inna morning or some. Bout to have sum shi slide through" He said chuckling
"Damn, with no haircut? You know you be looking homeless with out the cut mane" I said laughing at his reaction to what i said
"Fuck you too la bitch" he said hanging up making me shake my head
After showering and packing everything i came her with including the food ma cooked i was good to go
Makiya was packed and shit too for how long she was going to be staying which was good. All left was needed was our goodbyes to ma
Knocking on her door she answered for me to come in so i entered and saw her laying in her bed watching tv
"You bout to leave up outta here huh?" She asked folding her arms
"Yea ma, we bout to head out mane. I love you deeply" I said going in to hug her
"I love you too ma" Makiya said coming inside the room as well
We gave her a hug and said our goodbyes and was then on our way to Raleigh
