Sebastian's House

"Baby you don't pay me no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is uppredictable and I don't...want to make you unhappy
If your not happy then your free to go on cuz I don't want you stayin around if I make you,so miserable"--Fantasia

"Mommy. ." Nathaniel called Jurnee, his mother .

"Yes baby?" Jurnee answered, cooking brunch.

"Are we seeing grandma today?" He asked.

"Yes we are, but not until later." She told him.

Jurnee POV:
If anyone didn't know, I'm Jurnee, Sebastian's girlfriend and as you can tell, Nathaniel belongs to Sebastian and I . Nathaniel is 4 and our only child. Sebastian and I been together ever since I was 16 years old and I got pregnant two years later, at the age of 18. Having a child isn't easy. . Honestly it's a pain but I love my son very much and so do Sebastian. Sebastian and I been having some disagreements lately. After all, he's the chef at Cheesecake Factory and me, well I don't have a job anymore. I just sit in the house babysitting our son all day and barely gets to go out. But every time we have disagreements, Sebastian just acts like he don't want to be with me anymore. . So I'm confused on if he wants to be with me or not.

"Here baby, I turned on spongebob for you, stay down here ok, mommy will be right back, just checking on daddy." I told Nathaniel, as I sat his plate in front of him.

"Ok." He said, glued to the television already.

I went upstairs and then into our bedroom where he still was sleep.

"Babe." I called him, trying to wake him up.

"Hm?" He said, with his deep sleepy voice.

"Get up." I said, looking at myself in the mirror.

He then sat up slowly, looking irked. He looked at his phone and then back at me.

"Mama texted you?" He asked me.

"Yeah, she said be at the dinner by 5." I told him, looking at him through the mirror and then looked down.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked, concerned.

"No—Nothing." I stuttered.

"Tell me Jurnee." He got up, walking towards me, trying to pull me into him, but I pushed him away.

"Do you even want to be with me anymore?" I asked him, being serious.

"Of course I do, why wouldn't I?" He asked me, confused.

"'Cause every time we have a disagreement,you a—" I then was cut off by his phone.

"Hold on. Hello?" He spoke through the phone.

"What's up man! How's it going?" One of his boys said.

"Nothing much, family, work and sleep." Sebastian said, "How about you man?"

I then looked at him like he was crazy, like is he really gonna have a whole conversation while we were in the middle of talking .

"Mhm!" I said loudly, looking at him.

He then put me on hold. At that point, I was pissed  and walked right off, going downstairs to get my jacket and getting ready to walk out the house.

"Hold on bro." He said, rushing down the steps, "Jurnee, why you leaving?" Trying to keep me in.

"Why don't you ask your manz." I told him, being sarcastic as I walked out and before you know it, Stephen and Kristinaa arrive.

"Hey Jurnee." Kristinaa said, smiling until she noticed Jurnee's face.

"Excuse me ." I said, getting into my car and driving  off.

"What's wrong with her Sebastian?" Kristinaa asked him.

"Disagreements again." Sebastian said.

"You know if y'all don't get y'all sh*t together before the dinner, mama's gonna be pissed, and so is grandma." Stephen said, grabbing himself a beer from Sebastian's fridge.

"Damn! Grandma gonna be there too?" Sebastian asked.

"I mean, I could've sworn I just said that." Stephen said.

"Nathaniel!" Kristinaa said, hugging him tightly, "Aunty missed you baby boy."

"I missed you too." He said, hugging her back.

"Sebastian, you ready?" Stephen asked Sebastian.

"Does it look like I'm ready ?" Sebastian got smart, only having a white t-shirt on and basketball shorts.

"I mean, you look ready to me, you can always go to the liquor store like that too." Stephen laughed.

"HaHa, very funny." Sebastian said, not seeing what's so funny.

"Hurry up, I'll be waiting in the car, and honey, be right back." Stephen said, kissing her and then leaving out the house.

"Sebastian ! You better hurry before he leaves you." Kristinaa yelled out.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. ." Sebastian said, not worrying about it as he got dressed and left out the house.
