"Uncle Nolen, why did mommy's job make her work today?" Taylor asked.
For some dumb ass reason, Imani's job called last night and said she needed to work. They didn't even give her a reason, they just said she had to work. She left after we opened presents though.
"I don't know. But you saw how many presents you had under the Christmas tree this morning?"
"Yeah."
"You got all those because your mom works extra hard, and that might mean she has to work more, so she can get you what you want."
"I know, but it's Christmas."
"Isn't your birthday in February."
"Yup. I'll be five years old!"
"And five years old, is a exciting age. You're not a toddler anymore, but a kid. And kids like a lot of cool toys, so your mommy has to work to get you your cool toys."
"I never realized that. Thank you Uncle Nolen!"
Taylor ran off to her room, and I continued to watch the basketball game. The doorbell rang, so I got up to get it. Shawn, Taylor's dad was standing in the doorway.
"Wassup." I said, dapping him.
"Nothing much. What're you doing today?"
"Nothing really. Just staying here."
"You ain't got no family coming over or some shit?"
"Some of my aunts, uncles, and cousins went on a cruise, and my grandparents and a few other cousins went to LA."
"And they ain't invite you or nothing?"
"They did, but we had to cancel last minute cause of Imani's job."
"Ain't got no friends or nothing."
"I ain't cool with my friends parents like that, where I can show up at their house on Christmas. But the one nigga I really fuck with, on his way to Louisiana."
"You know what, why don't you just come over my family's place."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. Taylor!"
Taylor ran out of her room, and jumped into Shawn's arms.
"Hi daddy!" She beamed.
"Aye princess! You ready to see grandma?"
"Yes! She always calls me sugar and gives me cookies."
"I'm going to make her stop, cause you always get a sugar rush."
"Nuh uh!"
"Yuh huh!"
"If that's what you think. Now let's go."
We all got in Shawn's car and drove to his family's house. When I saw the house, I had to admit that it was nice. We got out the car and went to ring the doorbell. A woman opened the door and she kind've looked like Shawn, so I figured it was his mom.
"Hey sugar!" She immediately said.
"Hey grandma!" Taylor cheesed.
"Hey ma."

Romance"Why do you treat me this way?" I asked softly. He looked shocked by the question, but then his facial expression softened. "Because...I like you." He mumbled. "What?" "I like you!"
