I Will Prosper

Chapter 3

Prosper grabbed the handled of the door. Dashawn couldn't help but laugh because of the mug she had on her face.

"You didn't have to yell my name like that in the middle of the street." Slamming the door as she got in.

"Girl this is not my car so go head and fuck Joe shit up if you want too! Also I don't give a damn, bring yo ass." Dashawn said focusing on the road.

"I swear you can be gay sometimes and keep calling your daddy by his first name. I'm surprise you left on time too. You really trying to avoid That whooping huh?" Snickering at her own joke.

Dashawn looks at her with a blank stare. " First of all don't come at me with no stuff like that, you know I ain't gay, I just talk shit,and I  call him what I want to call him. Second because you with me and you started fighting and shit! I'm not going out with you no more embarrassing me. I'm outchea about to make moves, people watching me and they see I'm bringing some girl with me all the time who can't act right! You better than that, you got the hands yeah but you to pretty to be out here fighting jealous bitches."

Prosper just stared at her cousin. She swear he's just like his mom, always saying hurtful shit. Only difference was he praised her and showed her care while he did it, she was so confused. Deciding not to say anything else she turned around waiting to get home. As they pulled in the driveway there were no lights on. Prosper and Dashawn got out making there way to the house.

"Bruh we legit got in here at 2:01." Dashawn busses out laughing.

"I'm saying though hopefully your mom don't bug us about that." She said rolling her eyes.

"I swear y'all give each other a hard time for no reason man." Shaking his head as he makes his way to the back door.

" where you going now?" Prosper asked.

"To the back....you coming?"

Prosper didn't say a word she just began following her Cousin to the backyard where they have their deep conversations. They walked to the middle of the yard and laid out. Looking to the sky deep thoughts beginning to take over their minds.

" I miss grandma so much Ro."

" Me too. I wish she was still here than your mom wouldn't hate me so much." Prosper said as she began to twist her lip.

" I heard what she said to you today ... Well yesterday I was coming in from the back when I heard y'all. Don't believe none of that shit she said Ro! Grandma loved you, it's not your fault she died, she died because of heart attack Ro. Now if you can prevent shit like that to happen you don't need to be around me because... Ha! I'm joking but seriously. Everybody just jealous of how she showed you so much attention and love, you know how everyone felt about grandma, she believed in you more than others. She always told you, you were going to be successful! She had faith in you that everybody wanted her to have in them. That's why they jealous, but you know why I'm not jealous of that? Because grandma wanted to give you what you couldn't get from your mother... She was your mother. She knew she wouldn't be here to see you grow Ro, she stored those words in your mind to help you build into who your going to be. Your purpose! Everybody got a purpose and yours is to prosper."

Prosper looked her cousin with dried up tear stains on her cheeks, and watery eyes with tear drops ready to fall. She jumps on her cousin and gives him the biggest hug.

"I love you Dashawn! Thank you." Prosper said as she removes herself from his grasp.

"No problem Ro, let's catch up on some snooze before everybody wake up, you know how my momma is."

"yes chores here we come, just to be doing them ." Prosper said laughing.

"Oh I'm grown now ! I don't have any chores I just know she not going to let me sleep late."

" yeah right your going to be cleaning right along with me. Watch!" She said as they began walking to the house.

Dashawn stared at his cousin smiling as he began to run and catch up with her.

"Oh yeah Ro? Who was that nigga you was talking to when I called your name? I told you NO NIGGAS!! "

Dashawn said running behind her.
