Tonight I'm doing what I hate the most HOSTING! But it was just my ugly ass kids, Jay, onika, and my grand babies of course, so it wasn't that bad.

B: stop running around my house!

They laughed running off, I just shook my head. We had the warm lighting, soft music playing, and the dinner table getting set.

B: who else are we waiting on??

O: um Zaina, Jay and Sydney, anddd oh the twins girlfriends

B: oh yea our 'special guests'

O: are you excited to meet the twins girlfriends??

B: I'm excited to eat them go to bed

O: oh please bey! You always get so grumpy when guest are over

B: and you just keep inviting them over

I rolled my eyes walking off, it wasn't the twins girlfriends I was so worried about it was jay's girlfriend I was dreading! I hate her!! She so stupid and uppity. She a classical skinny white blonde with pearly white teeth and could talk to animals! Just that nigga's type! And what's even worse is SHE'S NICE TO ME!

Sy: heyy bey we brought you these!

B: oh how kind of you

I said dryly.

J: go put them in wat-

B: shut the fuck up

O: bey!

B: ugh!

Sy: ouu I like your hair

B: thanks

I fake smiled. See!!! SHE'S DOING IT ON PURPOSE!!!

Sy: where should we sit?

B: wherever your bottoms desire

I motioned my hands for them to go inside the dining room. They went to sit down and I went back in the kitchen to complain to my wife.

B: they brought us flowerss

O: aw how sweet, did you thank her??

B: yea..i bet they're poisonous

O: oh please! Beyoncé she's a nice girl I don't know why you don't like her

B: I could name a couple of reasons!

I mumbled to myself.

O: here help me take the food out there

She passed me a tray and I walked it to the dining room.

By five o'clock, the house smelled like fried chicken, cornbread, mac and cheese, greens, and impending drama. The kids were still running around and Blue in my ear asking if she really had to be down here. If I had to suffer so did she!

Soon Zaina arrived holding little Ivy on her hip, with Idris trailing behind her with a diaper bag. My heart melted instantly.

I squealed.

B: my favorite grandbaby!!

Ava: Gigi!

B: what??

Ari: what about us??

B: oh please yall are old Ivy's new!

Zaina chuckled as I took Ivy out of her arms.

B: hii baby how are you??
