Rough

part 5

I walked inside the house. The house looked like something you will find in a magazine. Or even the magazine cover. This place smells like home even though its not mine.

"Well then long time no see." The lady said looking at jimmy paying me no attention.

"Yea." Jimmy said smiling.

"And Abigail are you and my nephew dating?"

"No we are just friends." I said trying to sound nice.

"Where is uncle john?" Jimmy said.

"Up stairs sleeping."

It is 5 pm. Who sleeps at that time? That must be a "new York thing".

"Well Abigail my name is faye. I want you to feel comfortable here."

"Nice to meet you."

"Come on y'all look hungry I fix up some waffles, grits, eggs, and sausages."

I never had a big breakfast like this.

We walked into the big marble kitchen and sat down at the table. I swear if this was my actual family I'll tear this food up but since when I don't know these people well enough I'll just sit back and eat my food slowly.

She made me a big plate and passed me a fork and I started eating slowly making sure no one was watching me. It was an awkward silence in the kitchen until an older guy came in.

"Wooow!!!! Jimmy well I be damn, how you doing son?"

"I'm good what about you?" Jimmy said. Then the man notice me.

He was a tall dark skin man about 6 foot tall. Very muscular. Got a nice trim beard.

"Uh who are you?" He asked looking at me. But before I can speak jimmy already did for me.

"Her name is Abigail. She is my friend from Chicago."

"So y'all drove all the way up here for?" The man said.

"To live." Jimmy said.

"Well you know you always have a place to sleep here. But back to Abigail. Are y'all two dating?" The man asked.

"No. We are just friends." I said.

"Well Abigail my name is derrick. But you can call me Mr.d for short." He said.

"Nice to meet you." I said and nodded continuing to eat my food. Mr.D got up and started making his big plate while I got up and picked up my plate lanae stopped me.

"Its okay honey. I got it." She said smiling.

Someone finally doing something as little as that made me smile. Not because Im lazy but simply because if I left my plate at my parents house I'll get cursed out at. But the thing about now is that I don't have no money, no clothes. I don't know how much jimmy has but I certainly need to be independent.

"Come with me Abigail." Lanae said standing up and walking out towards the living room.

"Yes?" I said following her.

"Do you have any clothes.?"

"No."

"So you telling me you got in that car knowing that you didn't have any clothes?"

"I wasn't thinking straight but I'll just find a jo-"

"Before you even think about saying the "j" word you still need clothes."

"I don't have no money."

"You know what youre about my Size so I'll let you wear something new from my closet."
