Nah'Riyah

My mama had bought a long ass table so the entire family could fit. There were about 11 of us in total and my parents had just put the last pan on the table.

"Alright everybody, time to eat" my mother called. We all went into the dining room and sat down. My mother and father sat in one chair at the head of the table and everyone else just sat anywhere they could fit. Dre and Malik went to grab plates and Chyna and I slapped their hands.

"What you do that for?" he asked.

"We gotta say grace first stupid" I mumbled and he nodded as my father told everyone to hold hands ad bow their heads.

"Our Father in Heaven, we give thanks for the pleasure of gathering together for this occasion. We give thanks for this food prepared by loving hands. We give thanks for life,the freedom to enjoy it all and all other blessings. As we partake of this food,we pray for health and strength to carry on and try to live as you would have us. But Lord, I'd like to take a few minutes more to really give thanks to what I'm thankful for."

"Oh my god" I mumbled and Dre nudged me.

"I'm thankful for my family, my health, a nice soft bed, my friends, my freedom, a roof over my head. I'm thankful right now to be surrounded by those whose lives touch me more than they'll ever possibly know. I'm thankful Lord, that you've blessed me beyond measure. Thankful that in my heart lives my life's greatest treasure: a beautiful wife a children and a happy healthy family. That You, dear Jesus, reside in that place and I'm ever so grateful for your unending grace. So please, heavenly Father, bless this food you've provided and bless each and every person invited."

Thank God it's over I thought to myself.

"We thank you for the turkey, Lord"

"Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"The gravy and the dressing. The macaroni and cheese and the collard greens. Thank you for the chicken and the ham. Lord, this table overflows with the abundant blessing that you grew from your land. Let us always be aware that all gifts come from You, and may we serve your will in everything we do. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen."

"Amen. Dang" I said ready to tear this food up. Lord knows my mama can throw down in the kitchen.

I went to grab some food and the doorbell rung.

"Oh my god" I said about to get up and answer but Dre stopped me and went to answer instead. I sat back down and grabbed some plates for us putting everything on them that could fit. I hadn't eaten all day and I was hungry as fuck.

"Mama?" I heard him say and I went to see what was going on and my mama followed. I'd wanted to meet his mother so this was kind of perfect.

"Ms. Kisha. Hi, I'm Nah'Riyah" I said holding my hand out to shake it and she just gave me a look before turning back to Dre.

I turned to my mama and she shrugged.

"I'm only here because my son invited me" she said snidely.

"Well you don't gotta be so damn rude about it" my mother said.

"Okay I I don't think I was talking to you bitch!"

"MA!" Dre snapped at her.

"No, Andre it's okay. We'll see who's a bitch when I knock her ass the fuck out" she said before walking away and his mother rolled her eyes.

"Look, ma you can't be coming up in these people house being disrespectful and shit"

"Okay whatever. I'm sorry" she said and he nodded opening the door wider for her to come in.

"Oh, Akhia I hope you don't mind but I brought a few guests" she said as everyone came back into the living room.

"My name is Nah'Riyah and I don't mind at all" I said.

She steeped inside and in walked the two people I hated the most in this fuckin' world.

"OH HELL NAH!" Chyna yelled jumping up off the couch.

"What the fuck you doing in my house cuz" my daddy said pulling out his gun as my mother tried to get him to calm down.

"Damn it's cold up in here. What happened to the love y'all used to have for me" CJ said chuckling.

"I said the same thing when Dre dumped me" Kelsey said smirking.

"Ain't no fuckin love for neither one of y'all" Dre said clenching his jaw.

So these muthafuckas done teamed up on our asses. Shit was about to get too fuckin real.


So this was just a filler chapter which is why it's so short. The next chapter all hell will break loose....
