Later That Evening

"Oh, look at my baby, you look so cute!" Loretta said smiling, snapping pictures using her phone while Jelissa feels annoyed. She notices her daughter facial expression and laughs. "Alright alright, you just looked so beautiful honey. Doesn't your mama have great taste?" She asks and Jelissa force a smile while looking at her outfit again.

Loretta bought Jelissa an all green Generic T-shirt button up dress, matching the color of her Chico's Smocked Waist Poplin Skirt and a white Lace up sneakers, dressing like she's going to church or going to play bingo with elders. 

"You sure do mama" She respond through gritted teeth and on cue, they heard a doorbell ring.

"I'll get it!" Jelissa said as she quickly power walked to the door. 

"Happy birth-" the girls stop after looking at their best friend outfits.

"What the fuc-"

"Hi girls" Loretta said smiling before Angela had cursed. 

"Hello misses Loretta." Olivia and Angela greeted her with a force smile. 

"Well, now don't you two look so nice?" She compliment, loving their outfit. 

Since they knew how she is when it comes to attire. Angela suggests an idea to wear simple basic clothing and change after picking up Lulu. Olivia has on a yellow Tunic Loose Fit dressy sleeveless blouse, with all-black tight leggings with nonslip black shoes. Angela is wearing Annie cloth Women's Casual Gradient Pattern V Neck T-Shirt, matching with all-black women skinny jeans and tennis shoes. 

"Alright, I believe it is time for us to g-"

"Not so fast young lady." Loretta said with her hand blocking Jelissa from leaving and looks at her daughter like she done lost her mind.

"Mam-"

"You know I don't play about my prayer. So it's either you pray or can stay your behind home and that does include you two as well." She pointed out to the girls. 

They mumble yes ma'am and reluctantly steps inside the house and Angela closes the door behind her. 

"You girls know what to do, come on." She demanded while having her hands out. 

The girls gather into a circle as Loretta closes her eyes and began praying for their safety and blessed him for his glory. As she continues, Jelissa opens her eyes and mouthed sorry to her friends, feeling embarrass.

***********

"I can't thank you two enough for this, and I'm sorry again about mama behave-"

"Girl, quit the apologizing and stay still." Angela joked, trying to do Jelissa make-up if she stops talking or moving.
