"Look, y'all need to talk or whatever. All this not talkin' shit really is unnecessary ma." Deanna said to her mother as she sat at the kitchen table unraveling her curls.

"Kanan wanna be grown, let him. I'm done chasing my own son. When have I ever done that?" Raq laughed as she stirred her coffee. "Y'all new school kids is something else."

"You gotta grow up. You're the mother, he's the child. Literally he's not an adult ma. He needs you." Deanna shook her head. her mother could be super stubborn at times.

"You, not gonna tell me what I need to do little girl. Watch yourself." Raq pointed her long acrylic nail at her daughter. "I am a grown ass woman, I handle my business very well."

Deanna was beyond aggravated with the two of them. This was going on fourish months. Her brother could care less and her mother was too stubborn to give a damn.

"Nique been round here snooping looking for you. What's that about?" Raq sipped from her coffee cup.

"I'm done talking to him and before you start, he didn't do anything. I just came to realization about some things." Deanna glanced at her mom as she nodded her head.

"Good, that no good ass nigga aint the one for you anyway. I'm ya' mother, take notes." Raq pointed as she stood up from the table, "I know you not done foolin' with that nigga. Just be careful baby."

Raq bent down and kissed Deanna on her forehead.

"I will ma. I'm out though, I told Juke I was gonna go out with her tonight." She leaned over and hugged her mother, "I love you."

"I love you more babygirl, be safe out there." Raq hugged her back and watched as Deanna made her way out the front door.

She walked down the sidewalk making sure to watch her surroundings. In about 15 minutes she made it to her uncle's house. She grabbed her key and opened the door. Walking inside, she shut the door behind herself.

"Juke, i'm here yo. We gone miss the party!" Deanna sat her bag down on the kitchen chair.

"Aight aight! i'm coming right now." She heard a lot of commotion before she seen Juke coming down the stairs.

Just had her hair slicked down and her outfit was fly. Deanna smiled as she motioned for Juke to do a 360 spin. "Cous, you fly!" She smiled as took pics of Juke with her Nikon camera.

"I'm ready to party, Kanan and Famous tagging along with us tonight too. They gone meet us up there." Juke looked at Deanna while putting her grill in.
