"Kiari!" I heard my dad say.
"Hmm" I said loud enough from him to hear while I was in my room on my phone.
"Come here" He said.
I sighed as I got out of my bed and left out the room, walking to the living room. Of course, he was sitting on the couch taking shots of hennessy.
"Morning" He said to me.
"Morning." I said back.
"I need you to line me up on the sides" He said referring to his hair.
"When?" I asked.
"Right now if you can" He said as he swallowed down another shot.
"Alright, let me get my things" I said walking back in my room.

"So tell me about this girl you dating son, yo mama told me she's an actress" My dad said as I was lining his hair up.
"Yeah she is." I said.
"What's her name?" He asked.
"Marsai. Marsai Martin." I said and he rose his eyebrows.
"Oh, that girl from Blackish right? And she did that movie with Regina Hall" He said.
"Yep, that's her" I said.
"Damn how you pull that?" My dad joked and I chuckled saying "Very funny."
"I'm just surprised that's all" He said.
"We met at the homie's party. She's his cousin so, and I just asked if we could kick it and we did. A few times. Now we here" I said.
"Does she know everything? Like where you work and shit" My dad said.
"Yes she does, and she loves me for who I am" I said.
"Damn why you gotta say it like that" My dad said as he laughed.
"Because I know where you were going wit it. She knows I'm working at Lil ceasars for now, she knows everything. She sees something different in me unlike y'all" I said.
"Man we see something different in you too" My dad said.
"Right" I said.
"It's just after Grem was murdered, you started tryna live the life he lived when it ain't for you." My dad said.
"That ain't true, I just do what I gotta do." I said.
"Gang banging is doing what you gotta do?" My dad said.
"I'm not in that life anymore. I made a promise to Marsai that once I get the niggas that got Grem I was gone get out the game." I said.
"What do you mean by getting the niggas that got Grem?" My dad asked.
