"Deidra, do you think I'm a bad person?"
"What in the hell would make you ask me such a question?"
"I don't know, I've been through a lot of shit. You're my cousin, I don't need to remind you how my dad's lack of influence in my life affected me, how Jamal's death killed me emotionally. How... How everything that I've have to go through has made me feel. Like I guess I just want to know why bad things happen to me, an explanation, something."
"Please don't tell me you're going through another depressed stage. You couldn't be an evil person if you tried. Sure you've made some stupid decisions but I think you've learned from them.
Sleeping with a guy in a relationship wasn't your brightest moment but overall no boo, you aren't a bad person. Nobody but God is perfect so nobody can judge you. I know sometimes I may seem judgmental but I'm really not trying to be and I just want you to be happy."
"Mother called Mo, asking when we're coming to visit. But she made the decision to go back home without even consulting us, just up and left like we didn't matter. Everybody always leaves me, do you notice."
"Bish, am I not still here?!"
I softly laughed, "you know what I mean."
"Lil, I can't say why she left, nor can you use that to measure everyone's time in your life. Didn't Aunti used to say something about using one persons fat to fry someone else?"
I don't know what was weirder, hearing Deidra attempting to speak in a Caribbean tone or the fact that she got the old proverb correct.
"Don't ever in your life try to quote a West Indian proverb again. But yeah you got the gist and you're right. You are the best you know that."
"I know that's why you love me."
"Blah, blah, blah. If that's what makes you sleep at night.
By the way you gonna help me plan Mo's wedding? Well duh you are."
"Volunteer my services, but just remember my services aren't cheap."
"Could've fooled me, but I'll pay you in red wine and French fries."
"Yass, that's why you're my favorite cousin."
"Greedy ass."
A/N First of all let me just say how much I absolutely LOVE Lauren's (Lila) skirt [in the media section].
