(I definitely did not proofread this)

I sat on my bed on the phone with my mom with Kujo asleep next to me. Looking over I snickered and took a picture of him before posting it on my instagram story. "So when are you going to let us meet this mystery person" She asked making my eyes widen. "Huh?" She smacked her teeth "If you can huh you can hear Monique I'm not stupid!"

"Mommy not right now. We just established that there is something between us so meeting parents is not on the agenda right now."

"I'm just say-" I heard my dad butt in "Monica if she's not ready yet she's not ready but when she is she'll let us know" He said to my mom making me thank god.

"Thank you baba!" My mom scoffed and looked in the camera with her lips pursed. I laughed "Can you at least tell me about her? I'd like to know something!"

My eyebrow raised "And what makes you think it's a woman" She shot me a look "Girl please you think I don't know but I do! You've been eyeing women since you were in high school plus if it was some guy you would've said so" I chuckled at her reading me.

"She's...such a complex and intriguing woman. She's beautiful and so smart. Very intuitive which I'm sure you'll like. She's such a woman! And oh my god she can be so blunt and straightforward at times! When I first had a real conversation with her it hurt my feelings a little but she's gotten better. We just went on a date too! Mommy she took me on a helicopter ride!" I spoke softly grinning at the thought of the woman I was supposed to be mad at right now.

I watched my mom beam in excitement. She started to hum the song 'So Gone' by Monica making me laugh. "I'm about to hang up on you!" I said in between laughing.

"No you're not! So this woman...I'm assuming she's older than you because I don't know any 20 year olds flying helicopters?" I blushed and nodded slowly. "As long as she's younger than us, treating you right, and making you happy she's good in my book!"

After a while my dad got into the camera. "Hey lady bug have you spoken to Danielle recently?"

I furrowed my brows thinking about it "Um we've texted a little but I haven't physically seen her no. Is something wrong?" He waved me off "Oh no sweetheart he just acts like he's too busy to hang with the fellas now! Next time you talk to her tell her to have her father call me we're trying to get our golf tourney together!"

I chuckled. They were so old. "Okay baba I will"

I heard the door open and Kujo sat up. He went to the stairs looking through the glass balcony and started running in circles.

I rolled my eyes and started to wrap up the call knowing she would be coming up here. "Mommy I'll call you back later okay? I love y'all" They said it back before we ended the call.

Taraji called my name twice and I give no response each time. She walked into my room and for a second I forgot she pissed me off. She was wearing a pair of black sweatpants that hung low on her waist showcasing her flat toned stomach with a tight fitted cropped shirt that stopped just above her abs. Her long jet black knotless braids were freshly done and I could smell her perfume from here. Fuck she looked good.
