"Can you take me to get my nose pierced?" I asked aunt Beela causing her to turn her head quick
"Girl no, you're not getting me cursed out" she looked back at the road, "Did you ask?"
"I did"
"And what was the answer?"
"I mean, it wasn't no" I shrugged hoping for her to give in, "Please, tt"
"Was the answer yes?"
"Can you just take me?" I dodged her question because I just want her to say yes
"I love you, but Angel not about to curse me out. Flau'jae damn sure not about to curse me out. No, Jaeuh"
"Okay, they didn't say yes or no. Can you call and ask for me?" she hummed sounding hesitant a little, "Please"
"You better be glad I love you" she said while picking up her phone, "I'm trying to drive and you got me distracted"
"I love you" I laughed a little before she hummed
I just sat in the passenger seat praying before she sat her phone down. She turned the volume up since her phone was blue-toothed to the car.
"Hello?" my momma answered sounding muffled before I looked at aunt Beela
"Jaeuh asked me if I can take her to get her nose pierced. So, I'm calling for your permission" she sighed before the phone hung up
Oh my god
"Wait, tt we gotta call back" I pushed my momma contact name before it started ringing out
"I'm sleep, what?" she answered with a attitude this time
"Momma why you hang up?"
"Cause Jaeuh you know it's not happening. The answer is no, Flau'jae not going for that anyway"
Something about the word no makes me so mad.
"I'm finna be sixteen" I emphasized
"Angel just think about it, she is a teenager" aunt Beela chimed in before my momma mumbled something
"I can't even nap in peace" my momma said before the phone hung up
"Tt help me" I begged
"It's nothing I can do, I'll buy you ice cream"
"Noo" I said because that's not gonna do nothing but send me to the bathroom
It won't turn that no into a yes.
"Well, I'm sorry. I can't tell them what to do with you" She said before I shrugged slightly just accepting it
"Would you say yes?"
"Even though I was willing to take you, I would say no. If you have to have somebody sign a consent form, you don't need it"
"So, you on her side?" she started laughing
"No, I'm just being real"
"I guess that make sense" I said tryna be understanding, "I still want it though, it's cute"
She just shook her head at me.
